hospital was cool with us taking it we just needed a cooler with ice lol, had it encapsulated first time around and its just sitting in my freezer, will probably just bury it next time around.

With my first birth my hospital gave us the option to donate the placenta specifically to burn victims. We’ll likely do that again if the hospital gives us the option.

The hospitals sell them and donate the money back to the hospital so I’m keeping mine and planting a tree over it.

First solo steps 😭🤍

11 months 8 days and she’s just taken her first wobbly solo steps this evening and I’m a wreck 🥹🥹 Everyday she’s doing something new and I love it so much but it also feels like the baby chapter is really coming to an end and she’s definitely, DEFINITELY, our last baby so it all just feels like a lot emotionally. What a privilege to do this journey and experience all these moments! 🥹🤍

I’m angry at the nhs

Ladies, I’m pregnant. The hospital did wrong! They told me I had a miscarriage but what they took out was lineing tissue instead of my baby . I have been pregnant for months! I’m 15 weeks pregnant. I’m so angry at the hospital and I want to cry!!!!!!

Natural birth or c section, which did you prefer?

Ladies who have had both a natural delivery and a c section, which did you prefer in the long run? I’ve had a c section and was told I could never deliver naturally, but after a scan last week they now have said that I potentially can deliver naturally if I choose to. I know the section left me crippled for months so I’d love to give natural a shot but it seems terrifying! Let me know your thoughts x
