I told everyone with DD2 that I thought I'd give birth a couple of days past my EDD, so no one expected anything beforehand. Turns out I was off by half an hour.This time, i think I'll be at least 4-5 days past the closest EDD I could guess, so no one is expecting anything before 7 Jan. I wonder if I can get it right twice in a row? Kinda freaky that I was able to predict and from so early with DD2. Anyone else guess their date? I even told my m/w at my final scheduled appt that there was no way I'd be another week, even though there was no obvious sign anything was happening.
I don't think I ever had a birth plan meeting. I have a birth plan, I just gave a copy to everyone and put one on file. I spent so much time discussing things with both my m/ws that I don't think there should have been anything left to wonder about. This time, I'm using the same plan with a small update on the front about expecting a fast labour. In my case, it's really only for the hospital's benefit, as birthing at home everything was set the way I wanted it anyway and my m/w's never suggested any exams or procedures that would have needed me to make a decision. I just told my m/w that this time she's not to ask me to get out of the pool to go to the toilet.
M/w appt tomorrow, but nothing really to talk about.
Oh, and I'm still bfing DD2 and oh my, my boobs are HUGE! I don't remember them being this big until after birth with DD2. I'm venturing into my post-birth/engorged bbs bras already.Eeenee, hats off to you managing with two still bfing. I think DD2 is dropping her pre-nap bf (which she doesn't have when I'm at home) and the night time one is usually very brief, but as long as she sticks with the morning one, I think she'll be still going when DD3 is born. Probably close enough now for her to resume even if she does stop. What did everyone else find in terms of colostrum and toddler bfing?
Sending labour and easy birthing vibes your way if you want 'em
