Returning & Ready to Give Birth....

So my blog is slow, I do apologise.

Upon my husbands return from his overseas exercise my life went upside down, but I believe we have turned full circle now, and I'm feeling more content in all aspects of my life. I cannot return to that dark period to explain the past 3/4 months to you all, so please bare with me as I get back into this.

The good news is... I am FULL TERM and baby boy is due in just 10 days! This pregnancy has not been easy, but then again I've never had an easy one!! My SPD has progressed and it is becoming increasingly harder to walk, or even manoeuvre in bed! My husband has returned to his army barracks, meaning I'm flying solo in pain looking after my boys! The light at the end of the tunnel is visible though, and that's all I'm focusing on.

Braxton Hicks are becoming my arch enemy, teasing me on a daily basis with unnecessary pain! If only it was the real thing and baby boy was on his way! This one isn't as eager to arrive as Tomas, as if he was he would have been here last Saturday! Maybe he's waiting for the weekend, waiting for daddy to come home! Only time will tell!

Birth planning : I'm extremely anxious about the birth, one anxiety being whether my husband will make it in time if he is in work when Baby H starts making his way into the world, and my other anxiety is the baby being big. I am not carrying big (on the 50th centile), however I just have this feeling he's going to be a chub and that makes me very nervous! 

I am still under midwifery led care, meaning I can give birth at the midwifery led unit at my local hospital. This makes me very pleased, as I had Tomas in the midwifery led unit and it was a fantastic birth. I am hoping for a water birth, however I know labours are unpredictable. I wanted a water birth with Tomas, but got out of the pool to push. This time I would like to give birth in the pool. Fingers crossed!! 

Glad to be back to blogging though, and hopefully my next post should include a new bouncing baby boy...
