Positive April baby birth story!

Just wanted to share for any mama’s-to- be who are feeling apprehensive about labour and giving birth. I certainly was but ended up having a lovely experience so wanted to share some positive vibes ❤️

Baby girl came 8 days early earlier this week, which was the first surprise after everything I’d seen and been told about first babies being late! I started having contractions at around 3am in the morning but wasn’t really aware that’s what they were at that point. But they ramped up very quickly throughout the morning. I kept myself busy at home, (waxed and tinted my eyebrows which killed a good amount of time 😂) kept calm and was getting everything ready.

By 11.30am my waters had also broke so I knew I needed to go to the hospital, even though they kept trying to put me off going in. I was 9cm dilated by the time I got in and was moved straight to a room. I’d expressed an interest in the birthing pool as a pain relief option but wasn’t too fussed. However a room with one was available and the midwife really encouraged me to get in (although at one point they didn’t think it would fill up in time!) I got in and was in active labour/pushing for an hour and a half and she was here! So glad I did as the pool definitely helped with the pain. If it’s an option for you I’d 100% go for it.

Wishing everyone smooth journeys and hope this has been some positivity among all the scary stories you’ve probably been hearing..! 🥰

Baby Girl Name 🙈

We’re on the fence about two names and one is from my favourite book but I’ve loved the name Freya since I can remember, Feyre is such a cute whimsical name but I also know everyone will say it wrong or ask about the book 🙈 can’t stop loving it though! 🩷 help please!

30 weeks pregnant with DIDI twins growth scan

Hope everyone is doing well on here.
I had my growth scan yesterday, and originally, the twins were estimated at 28 weeks and were weighing around the same (2.9ilbs/2.6ibs) but the consultant just wanted to double check on my upper twin as they were measuring a little bit smaller than the lower twin.

So today, everything went well. I enjoyed seeing them cuddled up, and both were breached position.

They're now at 3.14 lbs, so I'm overall carrying like 6 pounds and 4.5 ounces altogether (help) 😅🤣

But I'm curious how much dud your guys' babies are all weighing at the moment or at 30 weeks.
Let me know, and I hope everyone is doing ok 🩷🥰
