Welcoming Harper!

I’d like to welcome Harper Rae to the world clocking in at 6 lbs, 11 oz and 19 3/4 inches long. She was born via unmedicated birth during the wee Monday morning hours of 7/15 in a birth center tub. My experience, and the support provided from my midwives, doula, and my partner were absolutely magical. For any mamas planning to go natural, you can do it 💪🏼

Congratulations!!👶💖 I wish I did it unmedicated but I was honestly terrified. But all the medication made recovery a lot worse for me because the epidural failed. You’re mentally strong for doing it unmedicated.

Ultrasound Scan and BMI

Hi everyone, really upset today. Went for my dating scan and as far as I knew from the sonographer it was difficult to get a good pic of baby today because baby didn't want to get in a good position. Read my notes afterwards and it says difficult scan due to increased BMI. I have a BMI of 39 which I'm aware is high, but I feel so sad about it and now I'm worrying how this is going to be throughout the pregnancy. Any positive info about any of you lovely people having a healthy and safe birth with a high BMI would be really appreciated right now ♥️

Dampness at 31weeks

Has anyone experienced dampness amd wet patches in underwear? Has it been your water’s slowly going or fluids leaking? If it was how long before they completely went ect?

I did think it was discharge at first. But it has no texture or odour.. just a wet patch like if you pour water 💦

How long after postpartum C-section do you guys feel heal enough to exercise? Or did my body heal wrong 💀

Hello! 2024 September 13th I had my baby and it was a planned C-section. They told me to never lift anything heavy til I heal but I had a toddler and newborn plus the household chores to do.. my boyfriend always work all day long til close to midnight anyways I reopened my C-section back then . They looked at it and said it was okay so I waited til last year 2025 September to work out.. and every time I did a simple push up or sit ups. It feels like a very sharp sting around my scar like burning and it spreads out so I just assumed I needed more time to heal and yesterday I tried again but this time it hurts badly and I couldn’t do sit up or push ups at all 😬
It feels like ima reopened again and the pains goes away 2 or 3 minutes later. The pains is like 9/10. Is that normal or did my body heal wrong? 😖
Is it something I should go in for?

If you have had a miscarriage or abortion under 7 weeks did you see a tiny fetus ?

I’m not talking a clump I’m talking about a literal tiny baby with arms and a head etc
