I have not, but wanted to say congrats!

I did one and they’re some of my favorite pictures ever. Go for it!!! And congratulations 🎉

I did it twice and it’s so empowering! The first time I gifted the photos to my husband for our wedding in a photo book and the second time I brought my husband along so it was more of a sexy couples shoot. It’s so worth it!

Congratulations

I’ve done it. It was the best experience I’ve ever had. The photographer was amazing and the photos are beautiful 😻. You looking amazing mama. Go for it!

Yes I’ve done 2 and they are very empowering!

Congratulations you look great

YOU LOOK AMAZING 😍😍 keep up the work 💪🏽

Wow! I need a coach. You interested?

You look amazing!! I did one and presented the album to my hubby on our wedding day. I felt so sexy and empowered. My photographer was amazing and gave me step by step instructions. Just remember to arch your back and point your toes. Lol

Wow! That is a great idea, i would definitely go for. Do your research and read the reviews. An experienced professional will know how to treat you right and make it great

Yasss. You should do it. Congratulations on your journey 👏

Yes, and I loved mine!!! I had a book made for my husband before our wedding! You look amazing! Don’t hesitate! Do it!

Looking great

Girl. 😍😍😍😍

You look amazing. How did you loose all that weight?

I have and I thought I would hate is and be so self conscious. I didn't! I absolutely loved it. You've worked hard you deserve to flaunt it!

What was your weight loss plan?

A good photographer will put you at ease and make you feel empowered. I would choose outfits that make you feel great, invest in a good hair stylist/ makeup artist and looking up poses wouldn't hurt either!

I’ve done two! I absolutely loved it. My hubby enjoyed the pics, but the experience was amazing and empowering. I highly recommend doing it. I wish I could put you in thouch with my photographer, but she’s in Denver and I see you’re on the East Coast. I hope you find someone great!

Hey ladies if you want to know anything about my weight loss journey follow my journey page on Instagram Tees100lb_journey. Thank you all so much ❤️

You look AMANZING !!!!

That must feel liberating, and it must have been a lot of hard work! I've done at home sessions with my own camera. Even just wearing a cute bra and panties and taking some "selfies" is always a confidence boost for me

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Induction experience

I just wanted to share my experience with being induced as I wasn’t sure what to expect and thought it may help others.

I opted for the foley balloon which was inserted at 8am Saturday morning, I had to stay in hospital due to hypertension and protein urine however usually you can just go home once this has been done. The insertion of the balloon was not painful, was slightly uncomfortable as there was slight pressure. I actually found having the cervix checked prior to be worse (again not painful at this point just uncomfortable) The balloon had little effect and after having it removed I was still only 1cm. Removal also was pain free and hardly even noticeable.

I then had my first dose of the gel and definitely noticed a difference, I started experiencing period like cramps almost immediately however they were light and manageable. After 6 hours I had another cervix check and although my cervix was soft it was still only 1cm and was only open at the front. I had another dose of the gel and felt an increase in pressure and more intense cramping where I now required pain relief (codeine). After another 6 hours I had another cervix check and I had now dilated to 2-3cm however was still quite difficult to get all the way through so a third gel was recommended which I agreed to.

Almost immediately I noticed the difference and was in considerable pain, I had paracetamol and codeine however the contractions had now become intense and a lot closer together (around 3 minutes apart). After a couple of hours I had my last cervix check and was 4cm and taken down to the Labour ward to have my waters broken and an epidural.

I had been in my room for approx 20minutes when my waters broke by themselves and I was now 10cm and actively pushing…. There was no time for the epidural and my beautiful girl arrived into the world within 2 minutes of pushing.

All in all I would say the cramps/contractions were manageable up until the third gel where it became pretty unbearable however it was for a very short time a gas and air helped take the edge off. The worst part about any of it was actually the later cervix checks where after stimulating the cervix my contractions were at their most painful.

If I had to be induced again I would skip the balloon and opt for the gels immediately as thy had a quicker effect and I would have been out a lot sooner if I had done this to begin with.

One more thing, I’ve never believed when people say “you forget the pain once they’re here” but I can honestly say this is true. It’s been 4 days and I would do it all again in a heartbeat.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Gave birth (vagina) 5 days ago and yesterday morning and this morning getting lot of pain in my right bottom side and lower back
