Sexy time lol

I got the balloon to dilate and put a peanut ball between your legs while laying on ur side

the balloon?

oxytocin! watch your favorite funny movie or show, laugh, dance with your birth team just do things you know will bring you joy and relax you:) also, sit on the toilet for a while👍

Dilation station, sit backwards on the toilet seat. You can look it up if you want to know more. Oxytocin was mentioned and that can do wonders to naturally get things moving. That’s a naturally hormone your brain releases, the feel good hormone. Do as suggested. Whatever makes you happy, makes you giggle and not thinks to much on what’s going on, will hopefully help things progress.

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
