Is this the start?
I’m exhausted. I woke at 6.30am I was really thirsty and felt sickly. I went downstairs sometime after and returned to lie down at about 8.30am. I must of been in a deep sleep because my Mum had been pottering around and I’d not heard anything. I was aware that Wiggy was moving around a lot and striking my cervix regularly but I’d fallen asleep. I woke up to a cramp type feeling at 11.58am that lasted about a minute. I wondered if that was the start. As the day has gone on I have felt different. My tummy feels very very heavy and uncomfortable. I have been bouncing on…

Delayed Cord Clamping
This is something I am very passionate about. Most of what I have discovered I realised was good before really researching it. My instinct told me that delayed cord clamping was the right thing to do for baby. (Image added 2020) We are so lucky to be having babies as this positive birth movement progresses. We need educating and we need to educate each other by sharing knowledge and learning. When a baby is born it’s placenta is what has provided it with everything baby needs to grow.

Feeling Emotional
This time last year I was loosing my 2nd planned pregnancy within 7 months of loosing my first planned pregnancy from 2016. My 2nd pregnancy was only 5 weeks old but it nevertheless shattered me once again. My 1st planned pregnancy was 11 weeks old. You don’t get any support under about 7 weeks and so I was told to go home and ride through it basically. It would be like a heavy period. I was devastated. I felt that someone choosing to loose their baby were offered more support than me, I wasn’t even offered a tablet to help it along. They made me feel like 5 weeks…

News
I had my appointment with the consultant this morning and after last night’s restlessness and an examination it seems I am in early Labour! Perhaps my dowsing is correct this time, maybe not, we will see but I am feeling as the day goes on like I am progressing. I was offered a sweep that I declined but she did examine me to see how the cervix was presenting and it was 1-2cm dilated, low and she could feel the babies head! So it could be hours, days or even a week!
