Personally I just put that nobody, and I mean NOBODY is to enter the room except my husband and medical staff. And also dim lighting at all times lol that’s about it lmao 😂

Mine is no pitocin and me and baby stay alive!

My hospital provides a birth plan template, so I mostly relied on that. I think March of Dimes and ACOG also have templates. For me, the most important things were that we do delayed cord clamping, NO circumcision, and immediate skin-to-skin until first latch.

I want my golden hour immediately after birth, no induction, if I have a CSection I still want my golden hr as long as me and baby are okay, delayed cord clamping, and baby never leaves my side since im having a girl.

Third baby or no third baby?!

I have a 5 year old girl and 10 month old boy. It took years to feel ready to have baby number 2 and now just 10 months on I feel desperate for another. We’d always planned to have 2 so I’m not sure where this feeling is coming from but it’s not going away! Has anyone had the same before? Did you go for number 3 or not in the end and any regrets either way? I’m in my mid thirties now so time is a consideration, and of course a third baby is in no way guaranteed, we feel so incredibly lucky to have our two babies, particularly as we battled some serious health issues in the process. Thanks for any thoughts 😊

Random anxiety

I’m currently 27 weeks pregnant and maybe 2-3 weeks ago I started getting random anxiety, kind of feels like that dreadful hangover anxiety but over absolutely nothing. Like there’s nothing I’m feeling anxious or sad about I just have this anxiety lingering and weird feeling of sadness. Anyone else had this??

I am 18 weeks pregnant tomorrow with twin girls. Feeling so deflated as still not feeling any sort of movements no flutters etc and just constantly feeling like something is wrong. I had bad anxiety with my first but it feels even worse

This time round. I havnt even got a proper bump either. Anyone felt like this and how did you deal with it?

Failed 2 hour test - doctor has said nothing

I definitely failed my 2 hour glucose test on Tuesday this week, with numbers out of range on both my fasting and 1 hour blood draw. I may be rushing my doctor, but I messaged and called because I am going overseas in less than a week and need to know if I need to, say pick up supplies or be medicated. Is it normal for no one to reach out after a failed glucose test, or respond at all?
