As long as I can avoid needing actual stitchesthis has me in stitches
I looked like Garth from Wayne’s world on my first baby photos with little potato. I wore my hair down and I’ve got my big glasses on. I thought I looked great and my dad pointed it outBenefit of not going into hospital is I get to have my haircut in the morning. I have a very short haircut and I have very straight thick hair so if it grows too long i start to look like a Lego man. I was dreading being stuck in hospital unable to get my haircut and my first photos with my baby I look like this:

Tedward is absolutely excellent nickname, and also get your Tedward down that business end. My husband had to shave me when I was about 9 months pregnant and I have to say, he did an excellent job. Would visit “Danger Waxing and Bedazzling” again. 11/10So many great names in here, my husband gets called Tedward by me and my family, he hated it at first but he responds to it now haha. But now I feel like I've ruined potential baby boy names for us that a Teddy nickname would work with.
We've had a boy first name for years though tbh, but we're not telling anyone as my brother has an uncommon name and my mum mentioned it at work when she was pregnant. A nurse off another ward heard and nicked it as she was a few months further along...and of course him and my brother ended up at the same schools and on the same out of school football teams etc. Plus, we don't know if we're having a lad or a lass.
My godmother got me a Tropic mum and baby set the other week that had some perineal oil in it, feels weird to be bought that by someone but it's a big bottle, so need to get our Tedward down the business end sooner rather than later. Not today though as I've been a rotter and not had a shower yet/am still in last night pjs. I'm normally someone who's up, showered, bed made once I'm awake for the day, but I've just felt so pregnant and fatigued and rotten today - wasted a whole day of annual leave tucked up in bed which I'm pissed off about.
Got a 25 week midwife apt in the morning, so will need to pull myself together for that. I'm not looking forward to it as they've all been boring so far, and in my book it says they only offer the 25 week one to first time mums so it's surely nothing special if they don't give it to everyone.
That’s exactly how you’re supposed to lookI know someone who had a blow dry and full face of make up for her first birth!
Ive resigned myself to the fact I’ll just look sweaty exhausted and my hair will be tit
With my first, I ended up taking it down because it was annoying me in a ponytail for some reason that was a mistake. Being stuck in the bed for 24 hours, moving my head resulted in my hair knotty as hell. So my first baby pictures are amazingI know someone who had a blow dry and full face of make up for her first birth!

Number 4, and I wish I hadn’t looked although I’ve needed stitches each time, so maybe I should try itI can’t believe I’m on baby no2 and I’ve never looked or googled perineal message and I just did
In mine both me and my husband are staring at our son like ‘what the duck just happened’ it’s so awkward and our body language is ridiculous it cracks me up because my sons peeping out and we’re just utterly bewildered!I know someone who had a blow dry and full face of make up for her first birth!

I showed my husband and he was likeI had a graze last time now I’m thinking I might have to try it too!Number 4, and I wish I hadn’t looked although I’ve needed stitches each time, so maybe I should try it
Oh, I wish I could post the photos of me drugged up to my eyeballs, not knowing what day it is, holding this squished little baby. The swelling in my face with my first and third is unreal. Don’t even recognise meIn mine both me and my husband are staring at our son like ‘what the duck just happened’ it’s so awkward and our body language is ridiculous it cracks me up because my sons peeping out and we’re just utterly bewildered!
Got a blood stained crop top and a bright red face with a rash from pushing dead sexy me!

Im going to show mine tomorrow. He’ll probably enjoy it (I only saw the pics and quickly clicked off )I showed my husband and he was likeI had a graze last time now I’m thinking I might have to try it too!
Same - I had pirate eye for two days I was so swollen from the drugs and 30 odd hrs no sleep. I'm practically grey tooOh, I wish I could post the photos of me drugged up to my eyeballs, not knowing what day it is, holding this squished little baby.

It’s funny how the drugs do that. I only had gas and air and pethidine with my second and my face didn’t swell like it did with the epiduralSame - I had pirate eye for two days I was so swollen from the drugs and 30 odd hrs no sleep. I'm practically grey too
Aww I had this realisation like omfg I’m actually going to have a baby what if I don’t know what to do I started buying things probably 30ish weeks think I’ve got everting other than a steriliser! How do you feel now? It hit me like a tonne of bricks now I am just acceptant xThese threads move so quickly I can never manage to keep up hope everyone’s doing okay!
Can’t believe I posted in here when I was just under 4 weeks pregnant and today I entered the third trimester! The panic of not having everything has set in and I’m actually getting kind of scared for the birth now… I’ve been pretty chill about it until the past few days
My partner loves to take uglyI'm mixed Afro-Caribbean, without my haircare regime it's absolutely gonna be tuft central. No pictures please.
