Anyone else feeling huge and cumbersome? 25weeks and I feel like a big lump
and get so breathless when I even tie my shoes!
Has anyone watched one born every minute?
is it worth watching or is it going to scare the hell out of me? (FTM)

The stairs has been my worst thing for being out of breath 
Before being pregnant I was doing daily jogging.. As soon as I got to 6 weeks, I can't even get to the top of the stairs without getting out of breath
Almost 30 weeks now and I go up the stairs slowly and collapse on the bed to get my breath back

So glad I’m not the only one huffing and puffing. Sometimes I sit down and wonder if I will ever rise again 
it is interesting, but not necessarily very factual! I say give it a bash!
I watched it before I had my first. I also shut my eyes at the gruesome bits
it is interesting, but not necessarily very factual! I say give it a bash!I’ve watched it for years and I’ve always loved it. We’ve been watching some of the Australian series these past few weeks and it’s good. I can’t tell you if it’ll scare you or not but it doesn’t scare me. It helps me to see all the different things that can happen in birth, good and bad. Helps me to see that everyone handles it differently. I like to know things to feel in control, I think seeing a lot of births makes me feel better.
I’d avoid it. There’s some nice stories on there but everything is amped up for drama with high stakes so make you worried about the baby and mums welfare! I’m watching positive birth videos on YouTube
When did everyones sickness stop? (if it has!) I'm almost 14 weeks and still being sick every day and have the worst food aversions. Really struggling to eat a proper meal 
10-11 weeks. I think I got lucky!When did everyones sickness stop? (if it has!) I'm almost 14 weeks and still being sick every day and have the worst food aversions. Really struggling to eat a proper meal
Do they show literally everything, gore and all? I'm not squeamish but just interested... never watched the show but think I might watch a few episodes for education!
Urghhh sorry I’ve been a bit quiet on this thread! Tiredness, nausea and just general life has hit me like a tonne of bricks! Hoping I feel better soon it’s just tit 
Thank you to the lady that posted the water birth video on here yesterday! Sorry I cba to go back but it really cheered me up and I sobbed like a little baby watching it haha.

I think il watch one and see how it goes, it’s reality and I think that’s what I need to be better prepared for giving birthSo glad I’m not the only one huffing and puffing.

I can’t find many positive birth videos if I’m honest, their mainly American which puts me off
They show the baby coming out with the tina blurred. I don’t think they’ve ever shown tearing. Only show blood on baby when they come out and they’re covered in all the gunk and blood.
I like learning things from it like if the baby does a poo before / during labour what that can mean. I feel like if it came up in my labour I’d be less scared from feeling ignorant, I’d feel at least like I understand what that means and the consequences etc
Give it a go! Turn it straight off if it’s not for you.
When I was pregnant with my daughter I was obsessed and I watched it all the time
I will probably do the same again this time as I get further along, I feel like it kind of prepared me for birth but everyone’s different xThanks will do. I've seen a few birth videos online and while emotional I find them mostly very rose-tinted and a bit hippyish for want of a better word... Like they're all 'ooh it was such an amazing empowering experience' which I get is a lovely thing but I also feel like I need to see the more weird practical side to know what I could be in for
Maybe cos I work in a hospital I don’t need to see the medicalised weird side of it - I already started off thinking birth was dicey and dangerous so the rose-tinted natural version is the side I need to see more of!
It is so different for everyone, and every pregnancy. I still have mine now at 25 weeks, it finished at 28 weeks last time, and my first two pregnancies didn’t go past 11 weeks. It’s so hard, have you considered asking for anti sickness medication? Mine takes the edge off so I can function a bit better.When did everyones sickness stop? (if it has!)

Yeah I think I will ask about medication because I’m finding it hard to function some days. I was worrying that I’m not giving the baby enough nutrients but after looking on the NHS website I don’t feel too concerned now. I honestly have the biggest admiration for people who do this more than once 
There was a show on BBC2 a while ago called The Baby Has Landed which showed the families whole journey from pregnancy, birth and then filmed them at home. I found it really interesting and learnt a lot from it!

that said this is my last. I couldn’t survive this sickness again.
I watched very first episodes one born every minute the other day. The dad was such an unbelievable wick. Playing ‘jokes’ like trying to lock his labouring wife in the bathroom for a laugh. Absolute wanker. Couldn’t stick it after that. Made me realise (hopefully) that people ham it up for the camera, I don’t remember thinking that in the past. I know I’ve watched a few with sad outcomes too. Also made me feel really upset the freedom and amount of people they were allowed in, pre-Covid, that we’ll not have.
Cravings - I haven’t and won’t but I could quite happily eat washing powder or chew pieces of clean fabric. I can’t stop breathing in fresh towels though. The urge is mental. Apparently it’s not uncommon according to google but I really hope that goes away as soon as baby arrives!!! Anyone else crave anything weird??
