[name_m]Ah[/name_m] i’m excited for you all!
I know how you feel @sabrielschild I was so done last week - just feeling super heavy and ready to meet baby. I googled all the old wives tales and various methods and found something on youtube called the mile circuit. It’s basically 3 positions / stretches you hold for 20 minutes at a time to get baby into optimum position. Lots of people swore that it sent them into labour so I gave it a go on the [name_m]Thursday[/name_m] evening and just over 12 hours later gave birth! So it must have done something for me!
@RosiePosey [name_f]My[/name_f] first signs of labour have always been period-like pains. It’s hard not to think every twinge at the end is a sign of something though!
@eireann Our sons are a similar age and I will say the transition hasn’t been so bad this first week. He has been a bit clingy and wanting cuddles when she is feeding but we’ve made an effort to spend one on one time with him each day and he’s not shown any dislike toward her (yet!) - just very curious and wants to kiss her head a lot which is sweet.
I totally get the mum guilt feeling though, it’s so tough.
