SJ - I hope you can get a friend to come help. My pelvis is 90% good now and I still hope my brother's girlfriend will come help me. She wants to stick the stickers on the baby's wall too. I won't stop her - that's the kind of stuff I just don't have the inclination for.

I'm guessing this baby is engaged. Every time he moves down towards the bottom now I flinch or squeak in discomfort. It only lasts a second or 2 but my cervix feels abused and the big movements make my sciatic nerve feel weird and/or my right leg go tingly.
I have never had any of this with my last 3. I said to Matthew today that I'm worried I won't realise I'm in labour since I get all these other feelings that I have never experienced before.
Of course I am sure it will be obvious at the time. Lol.


We've picked up the Birth pool. Says birth pool on a box, but it's in a bag. I couldn't find instructions so I hope it's obvious.
Does everyone do a practice run? Or should I blow it up at leave it up?

I feel like a newbie. I hope my brain works again soon.
