******August 2014 mummies******

The labour bit worries all of us I think, especially those who haven't been there before. I'm petrified too but I will do anything to meet our little miss

I think its scary after the ordeal of a 1st labour and now having to go through it again. LEast first time can be naive lol.

Im trying not to think about the labour otherwise think i will get too worked up. That reminds me need to get some new pads for tens machine - another thing to add to shopping list lol x

Haha yer I agree being a ftm I'm going into it not knowing which I think is better than knowing exactly how horrific it's going to be! It's like pregnancy if I'd gave known how horrible it was going to be I think I would have thought twice lol xx

I'm not scared of labour as such this time (not yet anyway!) I'm just feeling nervous because I never went into labour naturally the first time round- so not entirely sure if I will this time or how its gonna start!..... I hope I don't need to b induced again but trying to keep an open mind about it all! When I get scared I just tend to try on focus past it to when I'm holding my baby and its all over

I still need to buy quite a bit we gave/sold most of ours after my daughter as i was convinced wouldnt have any more haha. Plus with this being a boy most the clothes shoes etc i kept are no good.

Has anyone bought the TT electric breast pump - looking out for it on offer. Dont remember it being as expensive last time. But it is a must have just reluctant to spend alot when i know they will be on offer at somepoint hopefully.

We will all be over in tri3 in the next week or so - be nice not to be spread. Thanks for hanging onto us lol x

Yes I bought it at mothercare £65

Not sure if anyone is interested but with it being Mental Health Awareness Week, I posted a blog post on Anxiety in Pregnancy; http://www.thebrunettesays.co.uk

Thanks for that Leanne! Sorry u have felt so awful of late......I hope now that work is behind u u can start to turn a corner!
I'm currently waiting my one to one CBT after some over the phone low intensity stuff. Unfortunately the wait means I'm likely not to b seen until baby us here :-/ That's going to make it quite hard as although CBT is great I don't think with a newborn I would have the time or energy to put into it what I would need to!...... In the meantime I've been told to have a look at the compassionate minds cause on netmums written by mums that have had PND so I'm going to give that a go!....... Great blog hun- thanks for sharing and being so open and honest- its great that these problems can b talked about and shared openly. *hugs* to u xxxx

 

[HanSam]

Thanks it seems around £65 is the price to pay. ~Everything soon adds up doesnt it!!

My labour started nice enough just the end lol. I will start my hypnobirthing cd at about 30 weeks as that helped me quite a bit last time around. Also good for those nights when struggling to sleep in the last few weeks as very soothing x

 

[Mummy bear]

I think I'm going to try the hypno birthing hansam. I have been meditating to help keep calm and when I struggle to relax and sleep. Which one have you got?

 

[HanSam]

I will have a look its on my ipod from last time. I really loved it and sounds like you might too if you mediate already. x

 

[HanSam]

Not sure if link will work. It is the effective birth preparation one. Not sure if there is a newer one as i bought this a few years ago now x

Sorry to butt in mum2b but mum2b I'm a CBT therapist (high intensity) and in the service i work for all pregnant women are prioritised for treatment. following pregnancy if its PND related and you have children under the age of 2 years you also get prioritised. in all the services i have worked in this is the policy. i really suggest you contact the service and ask why you haven't been prioritised. sorry if this information is wrong im just going on my experiences. hope you are ok xxx
