Tegam-Sending big hugs. I'm struggling with this pregnancy too. Obviously you've done it a few more times than me, I take my hat off to you. I think I'm just realising its hard work looking after two active boys and being pregnant.
Meow-I understand your need to nest. I'm there also. But for some reason I have it in my head that I need to wait til I've had the 20 wk scan then I can get started.
SJ-Glad to here you're feeling good!
I'm struggling a little at the moment, when I was pregnant with DS2 we were planning a HBAC, so it was almost like being on a mission, I was constantly reading and planning birthy stuff almost from the start of the pregnancy to the end. We never told anyone of our plans last time, so I felt protected in a little bubble but this time everyone keeps saying 'homebirthing again?" and I don't like the feeling that everyone knows what we are doing. This time around I'm not sure what I need to be doing. Maybe I should force myself to start reading the books again, it just feels odd at the moment. Looking forward to my midwife appointment in a few weeks.

Ladybug, i had similar feelings during my 3rd pregnancy/2nd homebirth. I still chose not to engage with people about my birth, unless i knew they were positive influences. It's really none of their business what your plans are. Have you read Rhea Dhemsey's book? It is brilliant, and probably wasn't around when you had your other kids. You might find new inspiration from it.
Tegam, i have gorgeous memories of wandering around the yard during DS labour. I birthed inside, but outside birth would be glorious.
