Hey guys,

BW and BeiBei...sorry to hear about the ongoing attack of m/s...

My experience of pregnancy so far is certainly it has it's ups and downs...it's amazing and exciting...but it's also draining and exhausting and 'invasive'...

I was just thinking yesterday "I can't wait til I feel like me again!"...

I think mid-2nd trimester is certainly the highlight...m/s has hopefully resolved, you have so much energy, you truly feel like you are blooming, and you are starting to feel the baby kicking...

For me, 3rd trimester has been wonderful BUT also hard work...but thankfully you know you are close to the end...

I can't wait to be a Mum (although that petrifies me too!) but I'm not one of these people that absolutely loves pregnancy...but that's okay!

Ltl Panda...as far as I know regarding birth plans, you write them up yourself and share them with the Ob. and/or midwife...I think ideally it should be done in collaboration but I think that is probably unrealistic...there just doesn't seem to be the time available to do that...I haven't written one as yet, as I don't know which way I'm going (e.g. c-section or VD)...but I know the most important thing is that they need to be flexible...
