***Official January Garnets 3rd Tri*** Introducing our new arrivals!!!

[Becyboo__x]

I had 31 week midwife appointment, all is well and the baby is measuring right for his 'age'. We were discussing birthing options today and it really bought it home to me that we don't have long to go at all.

I'm really considering having a water birth. I've been told I can take CDs in with me and have those playing for the duration and even some scented candles, which I may just do. Is anyone else having a water birth?

Iv always wanted one but im unsure if my hospital even has them or not ill have to ask my midwife when she talks to me about birthing options etc but they sound really good and iv heard they are x

I was told that we only have a 1 birthing pool but the midwife has never known someone missing out because it is already in use. So I really hope that is the case for me too. I asked her does she know of many who are due around about the same sort of time as me. According to her a few are but majority are round about the end of November or March time.

I would definitely find out if they do. I would be very surprised if they didn't to be honest. If the hospital itself doesn't then ask about any birthing centres nearby that do. I really have my heart set on having a water birth.

Yeah i think for my first time itll be good aswell i just think if i do it like on hospital bed ill struggle just cause im a wimp and everything though .. ill defo be finding out as soon as i can x

I'm going in for a 'tour' of the hospital this w/e - have a chance to see what they have available, options for balls, water baths, slings etc if any

Btw - had my check up today... baby's heartbeat had gone down a little to 130 - but told it was in "normal parameters".... also told I'm a little low on the iron side, so been put on iron tablets....

Is anyone else on iron tablets? how do you find it?

Thanks

My midwife told me ill be going on these as from my next appointment and thats wednesday .. cause hes going to start stealing all the goodness from me or something lool!

 

[sharan]

I was told my iron levels have dropped slightly but the drop is very minimal so need to prescribed the iron tablets. Although I was told to eat more iron riched foods like green veg...etc.
