I've been reading a hypnobirthing book but not fast enough, need to crack on with it and I've watched some videos. I think I need to practice the breathing and being calm
I know you'll never be fully prepared and anything can happen but I also don't want to go into it panicking 
I liked my hypnobirthing books for the bits that said “what if it doesn’t go all to plan” as they talk you through being able to question what’s happening - which is what I needed this time round. The meditation definitely helped me with breathing and I use it sometimes still tbh. I did lose the plot when I was trying to push baby out but all the way up til then it was really handy.I've been reading a hypnobirthing book but not fast enough, need to crack on with it and I've watched some videos.

So long as its a closed system pump you should be fine
Interested in this as I also hatttteeee needles. Is this an app or a book? Thanks!
I just read the book The Calm Birth Method. I think there are courses you can do as well though.
then another that I went to the toilet and wiped to see blood. It was scarily real feeling so I spent hours of the night lying there wondering if it was real or not. I have my 8 week midwife appointment today then on Friday I have a scan on the nhs and I’ll be 9 weeks. I think my nightmares are stemming back from my last pregnancy I had a scan at 9 weeks to be told there was no heartbeat so think my nightmares are anxiety related I’ve been doing the bumpies every week too since 4 weeks and it’s laughable at the ‘bump’ I thought I had at 12 weeks compared to now
if I went into labour now I don't think I'd survive I feel so lethargic and I think I have a migraine which I never ever usually get. I have a stabbing pain in my eye that's so intense it's making my eyes water and I honestly thought I'd woke up blind I think I had Braxton Hicks last night as my bump was super hard and tender and I just felt really uncomfortable all night but it wasn't intense if that makes sense so I'm not 100% certain. I think I've got to that stage now where I'm worrying that everything is the onset of labour and I'm not ready yet! sorry for the moan!Can you run a nice bath and read for a bit? Sounds like you need to relax today. I think you’ve finished now, haven’t you?I'm feeling like absolute tit
Yeh I think I need to try to relax and chill out a bit. Yeh finished work so I think I don't have that distraction anymore and I'm just constantly worrying and stressing myself out
It’s likely unfounded but totally understandable. I’m having the same problem with spiralling out of control. Definitely relax. Have a pamper day!Yeh I think I need to try to relax and chill out a bit. Yeh finished work so I think I don't have that distraction anymore and I'm just constantly worrying and stressing myself out
I had 2 nightmares last night, one was that me & my partner took our 3 year to the farm and forgot him and went back for him at half 9 at night to be told we’re terrible parents and they’ve rang social services and we’re never going to see him again
I’m going through a pregnancy after a difficult missed miscarriage too and can totally relate. The anxiety can be unreal. Don’t want to offer unsolicited advice on managing it but it did get so much better after my first early scan.Don’t want to alarm you but intense headaches and eye issues are sometimes associated with pre eclampsia, if it persists maybe phone midwife/hospital? But I feel your pain, I am very done, baby is so uncomfortable and sleep is non existent!!I'm feeling like absolute tit
Luckily it only lasted about 20-30 mins but felt like forever! I'll definitely keep an eye on it though as it's not like me to have something like that. I go between thinking I just want baby here now to thinking I'm not quite ready
feels like a bit of a limbo stage.
