I planned for a home birth until 34 weeks because he was consistently in the 95th percentile and I got scared he would be too big/get stuck 🫠 (I have have a glucose intolerance and they found a little heart arrhythmia so it’s for the better)

I’m having a home birth! I’m due Feb 11th, hopefully she comes soon but we’re very excited it and looking forward to it. As long as you find a midwife that you trust and feel safe with is everything. We’ll be planning water birth and my midwife provided the tub for us. Make sure you have a supportive birth team! My mom has been doing research throughout my pregnancy to take on the role as my doula which I really appreciate and husband is a huge emotional support as well.

Thank you ladies! Hope you all have a safe labor and delivery!

wow that’s amazing! Yes I had to switch midwife’s due to not being heard from my previous one and I think I made the best decision for us. I would love to hear your birth story once baby is here!! So exciting 🎉

You too 🥰 good luck with your labor, it’s going to be beautiful ❤️

I'm planning for a home birth I'm due on the 18th. My midwife brought over the pool and I have gotten all the things on the list she gave me. Made my Playlist ready. So we are just waiting for his arrival now. I'm so excited

Loveee to hear you ladies doing home births! It makes me less scared and anxious about mine that I’m not alone 🥹

where has the time gone!!!

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?

20 week scan!

I had my scan today! All was good, she was very stubborn though so it took ages to get all the measurements. No cleft lip from me being on Ondansetron for my sickness (I’m still unwell everyday).
However, I currently have a low lying placenta- has anyone had this before? I have to have another scan to check on it later on.

They asked if I knew what I was having and thankfully confirmed she is indeed a girly whirly.
I did ask for them at the end to show my husband the “burger” so he could visibly see no willy 😂

I’m so glad my 8 week blood test was right 🥳 a big 🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻 to soooo many saying they’re a waste of money and not right so early on 😂 (not ladies in this group, but I’ve seen so many comments in other groups that are always so negative).
