No way lol. It's natural to have a bush. I'm not going on a date. Medical professionals couldn't care less, their mind is on you as a patient and not on the hair between your legs.

At first I wanted to shave, be all “clean” and “pretty” for the birth. But I’m so damn tired in this third trimester I don’t care anymore😂. Just get this baby out of me. If I have time to prep & feel motivated then I’ll do so, but it’s not a priority for me

As a previous labor and delivery nurse…you do what you want but I’ll tell you no one is paying attention to that :) you’re bringing life into this world, it is such a magical experience, we’re focused on that babies head down there, nothing else. Hair is natural. Hope that helps take the pressure off a little! Personally speaking, I’m trying my best to keep it manageable down there but it is so hard when you can’t see 😆

Planning to shave 1-2 weeks before the due date so the lawn is relatively mowed cause I find it more comfortable

I’ve been maintaining but nothing crazy. Only note I’ve ever received is not to do anything past a certain date so we don’t have to worry about nicks or ingrowns and can avoid infection down there. L&D is messy.

Overwhelmed!

I’m due in June with my first baby, we started saving money before I found out I was pregnant and have continued to save money however, as we’ve needed to buy lots of baby stuff, decorate her room etc, we’ve not been saving no where near as much so obviously our total amount of savings hasn’t been going up as much as we like.

We’ve just had our renewal for some bills like council tax (which has gone up) etc. I just feel really deflated and thinking how on earth are we going to survive when I’m on maternity pay 😕

I know everything will be okay but it’s just really got to me today.

Did anyone else feel like this? Was there any help or things you did to make it easier?

Baby boy is officially here 💖

Born yesterday at 39 weeks. A very fast labour. Woke up at 2.30am on the 16th to my waters leaking, contractions didn’t start till 4am and then I was 2cm dilated, at 10am my contractions were strong enough where I couldn’t talk but was only 3cm so had a sweep and was admitted into the birthing centre. By 3pm baby boy was born in the pool 💖 had a bad 2 degree internal tear but I’m so so happy I can stop looking at him

Consultant booked c section for 39+4?!

Is this normal? I recently moved house so all my care was under a different hospital who advised thinking about a section after my last birth was awful with lots of complications and ended up in theatre anyway. I chose this and was told it would be at 38 weeks, also having issues with my heart, high blood pressure and preeclampsia symptoms again. But this new consultant would only book it for then but it makes me so anxious how close that is to my due date?? Is this normal?

Growth Scan

I have a growth scan today because my fundal height measurement has stayed the same at 29cm from when I was 28+5 weeks. Now I'm 32+3. Has anyone else experienced this? It has made my growth chart go from just under 90th percentile to under 10th.
