Snow- hope everyone gets healthy!!

AFM- it's been such a lazy day. My feet have been swollen all day despite doing nothing. I woke up really early and couldn't fall back asleep so dh took me out for breakfast and since coming home I've been on the couch or in bed! I made lunch an spent time on my ball and am now finishing up wrapping a few gifts. But I have no motivation to do anything! I hope it's my body just trying to conserve energy!

I have been exhausted. Wrapping presents today took it out of me. I dunno how those with little ones do it late in their pregnancies! I feel like I am back in the first trimester again!

You'll be perfect, don't be scared. Just focus on how much you wanted your bump right from the very start, and everything else will fall into place one way or another. Massive hugs!! xxx

Ditty- I don't know how they do it either!! We want a gap between our kids because if our living situation but this makes me want that even more!! I give so much credit to all of you running around after a little one already!

I thought I was uncomfortable already but today just kicked it up a notch. It feels like baby is sitting really low in my pelvis and it hurts!! Plus I had a couple BM's but not super loose or anything so im not reading into it. The swelling is really bad today as well and my hands are numb . Luckily, dh just came home from Xmas shopping so I'm going to make him take care of me for the rest of the night!

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement hun, I'm just worried I won't be able to do it, cope, etc. I'm kind of hoping everyone goes through this but I thought I was ok and don't know where it has come from at all. Randomly from no where! I think I'm just down as well from not seeing DH much as he's been on nights all week and now on till Sunday as overtime and only getting Christmas eve and Christmas Day night off, back in Boxing Day, it guess it's just hard not seeing him, he said he was finding it hard earlier as well. I'm ok just need to snap out if it x

Hugs to you, Sonia! You'll be amazing!!

It can be tough when they're on nights - my DH is doing his shifts tonight and tomorrow, and the bed feels huge! Especially after starting your leave i imagine, theres a fair few more hours in the day to worry about things rather than work. I know I'm going to have that in a week or so, once im not distracted by christmas! You're probably just feeling the big shift that comes with mat leave and hubbys new job, and feeling unsettled. Just make sure the time you have together is quality time, and know that once bump arrives you'll be wondering where the hell the times going. Its funny how waiting for something seems to amplify every thing we're feeling, theres so much focus on how much everything is changing. Just remember the key points that aren't, you're still you, and hubby is still hubby, and the fact you're missing each other only goes to show that changes or not, the best things stay constant! Hope you feel better. my ears are open if you want em! xxx

I am trying to be open-minded but....

I just discovered what a "Lotus Birth" is. It's where you leave the placenta attached to the baby until it rots off naturally. They wrap it in ribbon after salting it, then let it rot to the point where the cord pulls off of baby. It takes a few days.

This appalls me as a medical professional. Leaving a large mass of necrotic tissue attached to my baby is nothing I plan on doing.

I'm with u I think there is a reason to cut it off and I'm sure there can be a danger in having that being carried around still attached to baby

Hey!! At the hospital chillin with my little man!

Was feeling mild contractions at 4pm friday. Water broke at 5, so went to the hospital. I was 2-3cm so they started me at low dose of pitocin but my body reacted quite well to the first dose and within minutes I was having 90 second contractions on top of each other. The pain was ridiculous! I had to wait an hour for the epidural. After I got the epidural, I was comfy for about an hour and a half and then BOOM I could feel major contractions and pressure like I wanted to push. It was so quick I went from 3cm-10cm in an hour or so! Dr said we are gonna start pushing, so call ur fam. It could take 2 hrs... Well, 3 contractions, 6 pushes and 15 mins later my blake was born! 6lbs 4 oz 19.5 inches and so handsome!! Feeling good other than I tore a little and so the pain from that is really uncomfortable : (
