I did massage with baby 1 even though I found it really quite sore-ended up with a 2nd degree tear anyway. Didn’t bother with baby 2, still ended up with a 2nd degree tear (though this was due to speed of delivery) so my conclusion on it is that it’s not worth it lol!Thanks to everyone who replied. Quoting this post with an update.
I’m 36 weeks now. I also have the my expert midwife oil.
Tried it today sat on the loo post warm bath. An article suggested a number of positions. It was difficult to reach, I managed it but it was uncomfortable.
Might try again in a couple of days with the leg up on the bath but think then it’s one side at a time.
I will not be asking my OH to do it so if it’s still challenging I might give up
I have started doing some daily stretches with my birth ball which are supposed to be good for prepping for Labour.
But I think ultimately what will be will be!
I told my work as soon as I found out (4 weeks too) because i’m a HCA and we have a lot of residents that hit and push. I’m glad I did tell everyone that early tbh because I had a scare early on and everyone was supportive, and everyone looked after me and put a good risk assessment in placeHi ladies I’m so happy I can finally join this thread - I’m 4 weeks so very early, but I just wanted to ask if anyone had any advice on when to tell their work they were pregnant when working a physically demanding/ risky job (I’m a nurse) - I think I’ll have to tell soon because occasionally we handle chemo pumps which are obviously a big no, I also assume there are also risk assessments that have to be done but perhaps not til later?
I'm a radiographer so I had to tell my manager and our radiation protection supervisor as soon as I knew.Hi ladies I’m so happy I can finally join this thread - I’m 4 weeks so very early, but I just wanted to ask if anyone had any advice on when to tell their work they were pregnant when working a physically demanding/ risky job (I’m a nurse) - I think I’ll have to tell soon because occasionally we handle chemo pumps which are obviously a big no, I also assume there are also risk assessments that have to be done but perhaps not til later?
Thank you, i did say to him if he is walking away and sure of it then I will not put him on the birth certificate xIt’s a long way off but if he doesn’t want anything to do with baby, and you don’t want financial support, I’d suggest you don’t put him on the birth certificate. Check out the legal rights you’d both gain and lose by doing so.
If he makes further physical threats, report him.

Same. And most of NYE. Not sure if it’s down to HG ramping up again or the consistent coughing I have from Covid. Either way, it was miserable.Sickness still hasn't eased, first thing I did in 2024 was vomit...
