First time mum + home birth?

Hello, everyone. I am pregnant for the first time and have my heart set on having a home birth. I wanted to know if anyone else gave birth at home as a first time mum, what were your experiences, what happened? Give me some wisdom. :)

Removing pram bassinet

Has anyone moved their baby from the bassinet to the pram seat yet? I know it says 6 months but depending on head/ neck strength. Wondering how early this can be done. My LO has bad reflux and hates the bassinet so being able to move from the bassinet to the seat would probably help her a lot!

Going out

Hi,

Might be a silly question but I'm a ftm and my baby is 4 weeks, me and my mum are going to a garden centre and want to take the baby, my question is, is that okay?

Did anyone else take their baby out at 4 weeks?

My twins are 11 wks today. I think we’ve got ourselves into some sort of a routine.

Mucus plug

I know its not necessarily an indication of labour but has anyone lost the mucus plug close to their due date and then gone on to labour? I'm 39+5 today and woke up to what I think is my mucus plug after going to the loo! I'm really hoping its a sign of things as I'm so ready for this baby to be here now 🤞🏻

Dr checks ?

I’m seeing lots of people on here asking how their 6 week checks went & 8 week jabs etc, do they contact us or do we need to call to book this in?
Baby is 5 weeks + 2 days so 6 week check should be near and I haven’t heard anything.
What does the 6 week check include?

(With my drs you can’t book in advance you have to call 8:30am for a same day appointment)
