Thankyou!! 😊😊

No worries and good luck. We got engaged in 2019 in the January and had the wedding in July. I'd say you don't need everything that website suggests, just tailor it to what you want

Omg how did you plan everything so fast??! Fair play to you!! 😂😂I’m worrying a year won’t be enough time hahaha

It was reasonably low key
Registry office (got that registered in the February) and it was midweek (our anniversary)
Reception only had 40 people
Wedding dress and my maid of honour's dress were high street
I enjoyed planning it tbh

Start with a rough idea of budget, numbers and dates and then venue :) Once thats in place you can then start with everything else wedding party, photographers, dresses, cake, invites. Make sure you take out wedding insurance as soon as your venue is booked, hopefully you won't need it but with how things are recently I'd rather be safe than sorry :).
See if there are any wedding fairs happening locally so you can check out suppliers as well.
We booked our wedding April 2017 and got married June 2018 and honest to god, it flew by 😂

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
