How soon before birth did you do the course? I feel like I’ll forget everything if I do it too early!
How soon before birth did you do the course? I feel like I’ll forget everything if I do it too early!I ended up having contractions for nearly 30 hours. Almost a third of that was on my own, a third with my partner at home and a third lying on my side in hospital with monitors attached for baby. contracting on your side is pantsstaying upright, forward and open had been helping me so much at home.
I really enjoyed watching bits of the course with my partner and discussing it with him. Having a better understanding of the physiology of birth, really helped me visualise what was happening during the contractions. And it is true, no contraction is a waste and each one means you are closer to meeting baby
I ended up having my waters broken, an epidural and emergency c section- so not a typical PBC birth, but even as they were suggesting the c- section my partner was there asking about benefits, risks, alternatives and what if we didn’t do anything for a while. He wouldn’t have thought to do that without the course. It did push him to be an informed birth partner which made me feel safe and in good hands.
Aww thank you lovelyyeah to be fair I am fully expecting to be wrong tooI have no real idea and it’s impossible to see in any of the scans photos we have had so far! Aw I bet he’s so pleased you’re having a baby boy the cheer though haha my partner keeps asking if he can ask if the cord is just a really big penis and I keep saying no . Yeah I really hope this time next week we know, I’m looking forward to being able to talk about them properly and say he or she, and also buy some baby stuff! Ahh that’s so annoying, ours did the same, they didn’t ask if we wanted to know and they just made some cryptic comment that we might have been able to see the gender, which makes me think it’s a boy buy then other people have said you can still see the lines when it’s a girl, so it just confused us and we still don’t know . Thank you I’m sure I’ll be on next week after the scan to tell you all! Good luck in your scan too, and I hope you feel a bit less anxious soon xxx
I probably started around 16 weeks. I took my time. I took months to watch the videos and read the book over the course of being pregnant. I listened to the mp3s throughout and actually loved them on labour day.How soon before birth did you do the course? I feel like I’ll forget everything if I do it too early!
Completely agree with all of thisI ended up having contractions for nearly 30 hours.

Congratulations! Enjoy all those newborn snuggles and ask for lots of help!!Our little boy arrived today and he’s absolutely perfect, I never knew love like it until I heard his scream and burst into tears. We were in such awe it took a minute to ask if he was a boy or girl.
He weighed 6.13 and is absolutely perfect.
He is currently sleeping, I’ve got up and showered and now going to try and have a little sleep before he wakes up.
Section went well other than it took a few attempts to get spinal block in but after getting another Dr to scrub in, they managed it. It definitely was not as bad as my anxiety imagined.

I was the same and still am 11 weeks post partum. Nobody wants to investigate why its happening I just keep getting palmed off with more tabletsThey told me I was v low on iron last month so I was tested again last week My bloods came back today (nearly a week later) and I’m STILL low on iron I don’t know what more I can do as I have been on strong iron tablets, drink a litre of orange juice, spinach and kale smoothies and iron rich foods has anyone else had this?

They don't look around your house. They just come and chat to you.Welcome Baby London!
I got a letter a couple of months ago saying a health visitor would be in touch to come and see me at 30+ weeks.
The appt has come through now, she's coming in a couple of weeks for a 30-60 min visit. Anyone know what happens during this, is it just a general snoop around the house?
Mine came and snooped! She also warned me she’d do an upstairs sleep environment assessment when she returned for the first after birth visit so I might want to “tidy up a bit”. I was so taken aback at how rude it was, especially as my house is perfectly tidy thank you very much!They don't look around your house. They just come and chat to you.
I've never had them come round before birth. But I know quite a few people have and I think it's just explaining what to expect ect
