    I didn't really drink it as often as I was "supposed to" with Amelia, so I'm thinking I'll just do the same this time since I like the taste with honey anyway. Perhaps I'd get a small benefit from it, but not to the point of it being potentially problematic? I think my labour's going to be short-ish but I don't want to fool myself too much JIC it goes for much longer... Can't really predict it, hey?

    I bought a new day planner today so I don't have to rely on my phone to see when appointments should be made, because I was caught out last time and had to guess at DH's work roster. Turns out I guessed correctly, but still. I want to know.

    Only a couple more days until my next appointment, I actually have a few things I want to discuss! Yay, no "uh, no, that's it really" this time around when Kelly asks

    I had RLT in both pregnancies. I had amazing labours with textbook buildup of contractions and a very well functioning uterus. I had some blood loss at the end of the first labour but honestly I think that was more that my waters broke as baby was born and there was so much blood and muck everywhere the MWs erred on the side of caution. Blissful Herbs has a tea you can drink straight after birth to help prevent PPH and I know there is a tincture you can have on hand too, I'm just not sure what exactly.

    Am going to get some stuff from blissful herbs this time I think. I had a 800-900ml know it was 800 or 900 but can't remember which) loss with DS. And will try the placenta smoothie...will have to make myself though I think as DH not keen, he's happy for me to drink it just not make it.
