Go Em!!!! Wont be long now Whats the bet you'll disappear on us tonight when the sun goes down

Sorting out my birth pool - getting one from the lovely Lisa Chalmers at Simply Birth - anyone used those pools? Thinking we'll go with the bigger one but need to measure up the bedroom tonight and make sure it'll all fit, then soon do a test run and see how long it takes to fill etc. Cant believe its getting down to the action end, still a little while to go but I need to be prepared as my babies seem to be coming earlier each time! My son was either 7 or 9 days early, can't remember, but I am happy to be surprised with a later birth, so much to do! Placenta encapsulation is all sorted, have someone to organise that for me, I am really intrigued to see how I feel after the birth this time Never expected I would do something like this with my previous births, but at worst case, I wont notice anything at all, no harm done. But loving all the positive feedback from so many who have done it. Not one person has said it was a waste of time or money, or did nothing for them.

Oohhh Kelly! so so so much fun setting up the birth pool! we had a pre-birth pool party in ours

I am very keen to do the encapsulating this time around. anything that might help stave off PND!!

HotI: aww shucks, thanks love! I made it myself...with a lot of norti words along the way....i am soooo not technical hahahaha
