Question

How is everyone feeling and getting along?

Answer

I am still feeling good, a little tired at times, my bump is mini (so everyone tells me) and I am not putting on any weight which worries me a bit, my weight remained the same all month! I am only just over 31 weeks and think you ladies are quite a bit further on than me so am sure it will catch up with me soon. I am still exercising too which I think is helping although I have to stop for regular loo breaks!

We finished the nursery this week so we are all set but I am scared that I am not ready for this yet. First time I have felt like that!

I keep having the weirdest birth dreams too, last night I dreamt I had the baby at home in the bath on my own.

Answer

I just logged on to write a post about our birth plans! Have just finished my first draft and feeling really chuffed and excited!!! I'm doing well, still doing yoga and Pilates. 3 more weeks at work! Loving my hypnobirthing too... Lovely to hear how everyone is doing xxxxx Who will be first past the post? Eeeek!! X

Answer

I also feel huge Caroline, had a lovely three hour nap yesterday afternoon then couldn't get to sleep til gone midnight last night!! Grr!! Woke up this morning to my first boob leakage, followed shortly by three very close together contractions! Was just starting to panic when they stopped! Phew! Only braxton hicks after all!! Now fully awake after hoping for a lie in tho!! :) hope the rest of u are keeping well? Xxx

Answer

I feel huge! I just slept away a large portion of the afternoon, I felt so tired! I think the days of accomplishing and massive long list of things each weekend may be done!

Answer

This is a bit long but this was my template for a birth plan/preparation ideas... It is from hypnobirthing but might be helpful to think about-I'm not suggesting you should do one! 
Think the main points to be captured that we need to know as midwives are: "Birth partners name 
Hypnobirthing 
Dim lighting 
Diet in labour 
Access to Mp3s
If you wish to take photos 
Can students be present 
Where choose to deliver ie water ... Dry land 
I always say to my ladies to write ... I am aware of analgesia available .. I will ask if I require any analgesia 
Active or physiological management of placenta 
Delayed cord clamping 
Partner to cut cord 
Skin to skin contact 
Method of feeding 
Consent for vitamin K for baby 
Clearly add anything that is essential to you too x

Some people question why to write a birth plan but sadly midwives are not mind readers and if you attend labour suite well established in labour and calm and relaxed everything is written so much easier for the Midwife"

Answer

I'm ok, getting so tired, 34 weeks now and feeling pressure low down especially when I'm walking. Still managing yoga though! 3 weeks of work left to go!
Can't wait to see if I've got a boy or girl when he/she comes .. Dying to know now 😍
No braxton hicks at all.. And baby gets hiccups like 4 times a day at least!
I wonder who's bubz will come first!
