We made the trimesters pass quickly!

You guys ever hear of discovery health doing a show? I thought they did but I can't find much right now.

It is free here on nhs but I wanted to experience natural childbirth xx

 

[Ziggie]

We have the nhs here, and they're available if people want them, but they won't do them past a certain point in the birth I don't think.

I think us births are more dr led too? Here you only see the dr if there's complications and it's mostly midwife led

I hate pain, a lot actually. So for me, there is no reason good enough to put myself through that kind of pain. I have had a lot of pain in my life some even worse than childbirth (glaucoma), pain that was not of my choice, So doing it out of pure curiosity or to say "I did it" is simply not a good enough reason for me. If I have the choice to do it as painless as possible then I am going to take it.

I didn't realise how different US was to the UK with pregnancies.

What do you ladies want to do for labour? I'd love a water birth this time. It was in my plan with my son but by the time I knew it I was 8cm and didn't have enough time to get in there x

 

[Ziggie]

The thought of a water birth grosses me out lol! Floating around in all that mess, and having weird wrinkly skin. Irrational or what

I have no idea what I want, like I said, I'm a wuss!!!!! I'm just trying to get into the 2nd trimester first lol

That was the first type of birth I saw on that one minute show! From what I saw it happened really quickly. She squatted down for like 30 seconds and baby came out! I do remember her saying her family has "quick births" though.

I found out that my dad missed two out of three of us being born!!!!! I'm hoping that's because my mum had quick and easy labours!!!!

 

[Kiwiberry]

Wow you guys should check out that show "I Didn't know I was pregnant". So interesting that is for sure!

I had an epidural with my daughter I was in labour for over 48 hours and she was back to back so I just couldn't handle the pain no more lol, but yeah when you have the epidural you can't feel your legs so laying on your back is the only option really, my epidural wore off though and in the end I went to theater for forceps delivery!

This time I know what to expect so I'm trying to prep myself and have a water birth.

Kiwi - I've watched that show 'I didn't know I was pregnant ' before, it's crazy I love it!

 

[UniqueBeauty]

That show is crazy, as much as I'd love my baby here with me now I can't wait to see my bump grow. I don't know how I could go from my everyday life to BAMB oh your in labour!

 

[Mummy to be x]

No way that'd be crazy. I'd like a bit of notice

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I know right lol

How is everyone feeling today? I'm sure my sickness comes when I don't eat you know. I wake up and I'm feeling sick so I'll have a slice of toast and I'm fine. Same again lunch time and same again now. I'm meant to be cooking a rogan josh for dinner but the thought of it makes me as soon as I've eaten I'm fine :/

 

[Mummy to be x]

I'm like that too, I want to eat all the time! I Dearnt weigh myself now

 

[Kiwiberry]

I am hooked on the show girls. It is just so crazy how many people actually don't know they are pregnant. I had a friend in high school who went 7 months without knowing she was pregnant or showing at all either. She was really tall and skinny so I was surprised she did not show much. She even had birth control and got her period the entire time so she did not think anything of it until she went to the doctors for abdominal pain. What a surprise that was for her!

 

[Ziggie]

I feel a bit more awake today!! But I am crying more... Lol. Hormonal mess springs to mind. Lots of pressure feeling in my uterus. Hoping it's just baby getting cramped in there and nothing bad!! Not far off 12 weeks now!!!!! I'm closer to 11+5 according to my last scan!!!!!!!!!! Not more bleeding, but a little spotting now and then. Can't wait till my next scan, although not sure how I will cope with the massive wait for the next one after that!!!!

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I want to watch OBEM but I've seen them all
I feel much better after the curry. Friday I'm going to make patatas a lo pobre, magra con tomate and russian salad I can't wait! Living in Spain for 6 years to come back to the UK I miss the food

 

[ab75]

The thought of a water birth grosses me out too, love relaxing in a bath but don't want gunk floating about lol xx
My last 2 labours were to quick for anything anyway, dd1 waters broke and she arrived 1hr 20 mins later, went from 3cm to birth in an hour. Dd2, waters broke and she arrived 50mins later, was 8cm when I got to hosp and she arrived 25mins later xx

 

[Ziggie]

Oooh what on earth is that then UB??

Glad it's not just be then Ab lol!!!!

 

[UniqueBeauty]

It's Spanish tapas apart from the Russian salad obviously.

Patatas a lo pobre


Magra


& Russian salad


With the magra you get some baguette and soak up the juices, mm
