Hi Everyone,
Hope you are all traveling well!! 38 week appointment for me today, bubs has dropped a little and I am getting some good pre labour happening every night. I had a huge and amazing birth pool that someone loaned to us, but it was so big it would take longer to fill it then I labour, so we just found a much smaller one which arrived now and sits blown up waiting for the big moment. Getting to that part in the pregnancy where I wonder wonder wonder what is going to happen with the birth, will anyone make it in time, how long will I be in labour etc. My longest labour has been 2 hours from first contraction and my shortest only 50minutes, so all those little questions are popping up for me especially as the pre labour becomes more consistent.

We have quite a big birth team, one person to support each child(3) and two midwives, it seems like alot but I think perhaps someone won't be able to make it, and it's really important that the children feel well supported as well. The team is going to stay after as well to clean up, look after the girls and do whatever so we can lay in bed and look at our new baby before real life kicks back in!!
