We did it! Baby girl is here!

Our little nugget is here! 39+3 (a week later than her brother. Longest week of my life) and just as perfect as can be!

Fast and furious labor barely 4 1/2 hours soup to nuts, then 4 terrifying pushes and we had our beautiful baby girl in our arms!

We got our home birth! Very intense but very amazing experience. Rooting for everyone still waiting!

SVT during pregnancy

Hello!
Has anyone ever had an SVT during pregnancy? I have no underlying heart issues and no family history, however last week my heart raised to 151bpm and stayed like it for hours. Had to call an ambulance and be kept in A&E overnight - was given adenosine to bring it down but it was very scary. I’m 21 weeks. I’m going to have an echocardiogram to see if there’s anything underlying. Thankfully baby boy is fine! Just wondering if anyone has ever had this as it’s made me so worried?

People touching buggy

FTM and find that people keep touching my buggy like it’s public property every week.

They will move it out of the way, use it as a crutch, walk by and just grab it for to reason, try to squeeze past it or over when I make a hand gesture that I’m actively moving it out of their way. All while my baby is inside it and usually asleep.

It always happens so fast that I can’t even react. As an adult, I wouldn’t come and touch your vehicle...

Does this happen to anyone else?

Supported sitting

Anyone else practicing supported sitting with their 4 month olds? Mine rolls both ways and she holds her neck pretty strong. Would it be okay to try or is this too early?

Midwife visit after birth

My bedroom is a tip. The plan was to clear it out last week. But I've been having such bad paint with prodomal labour that I can barely do anything.

My thought process clean it once baby arrives.

Its nothing crazy just piles of clothes as I was sorting through which to keep, give to charity and chuck.

Now I would rather the ground swallow me whole than someone see my how a mess.

The question is when midwifes do the visit at your house the day after birth. Do they look in all your rooms???

Or can they just stay in the living. Say what they have to say and be on there way....

Baby movements

I am 21 weeks pregnant. I have been feeling my baby move since 19 weeks, but I haven’t felt any movement for the past two days. I’m worried. Is this normal, or should I get checked?
