Eek, earlier than I was expecting!

Turns out my little one was too eager to meet the world. Original due date of 19th July, but he decided to come on 2nd July instead! Totally different experience to my first, with no real interventions required. I has strep B and was induced part way through, but somehow I was all done and dusted in 14 hours from my waters breaking! I had been booked in for an ECV on 3rd July as baby was breach at my growth scans, but the little treasure had turned on his own! Such relief when they scanned me on the delivery suite. He weighed only 6lbs 2oz, and feels so tiny. Glad to be home after only one night on the ward.
Hope everyone else's deliveries go the way they hope for the rest of these July babies!

Husband rant

I know I shouldn’t complain about this but it really gets on my nerves. On the very few occasions my husband has the baby alone he acts as though it’s so easy!
Yes, it is easy to when its not all day, but every day! Come back to me when you have done 5 days on run 😡

Gestational Diabetes

Is anyone else around 30 weeks and struggling with gestational diabetes?

I’m currently diet-controlled, but even one slice of sourdough bread is sending my 1-hour blood sugar up to around 9 mmol/L. It’s becoming really frustrating because I feel like I’m doing everything right.

Has anyone else experienced this? Did you find certain breads or breakfasts that worked better for you?

4D scan 😍

If you haven’t done this yet I highly recommend!

They say it’s best to do it before 32-34 weeks at the very latest before baby gets too squished up to get a good shot of their face.

But it was so sweet! We saw him pulling different faces, opening and closing his mouth etc. My 3 year old came with us and found it fascinating!

Anyone else had a 4D scan yet?
