Mumma Walker's 7 Years of Pregnancy by CharlieBeth: Birth Plan
http://blog2.family-walker.co.uk/p/birth-plan.html
Mmm Birth plans. No one has ever looked at mine I think! I'm pretty sure it's just something we mums-to-be are given to do to kill a bit of time rather than produce a workable mission statement, especially since things change during labour and the whole thing can get chucked in the bin. That said. here it is! Where and Who With. At the RLI Maternity Unit, with my husband (Mark) as my birthing partner. Normal delivery suite, no need for a birthing pool etc, just a bed and a bathroom. Breathing and relaxat...

Mumma Walker's 7 Years of Pregnancy by CharlieBeth: Hospital Bag
http://blog2.family-walker.co.uk/p/hospital-bag.html
I drastically over packed 1st time round! And I packed the WRONG stuff! My poor hubby wound up. Moving stuff back and forth between hospital and house (I had Jack on a Bank Holiday Weekend so I was there from Thu night to Mon morn.) 2nd time I still took more than I needed for even a 1 night stay. 3rd time, I went minimalist! So I'm sticking to the same packing list for this, my last baby. 1 pair of PJs, lightweight coz the hosp is REALLY warm, and dark in case of (blush) leakage. With sugar, lol). I lov...

Mumma Walker's 7 Years of Pregnancy by CharlieBeth: Trying Angus Castus
http://blog2.family-walker.co.uk/2013/10/trying-angus-castus.html
Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Since it could still be a good long while before I get to the fertility clinic (which is fair enough with my 3 kids already here) I've decided to try some herbal help! Why do I want to use Agnus Castus? To be honest, I've heard about it being used so much on pregnancyforum.org.uk. Here's a bit of blurb about Agnus Castus. From http:/ www.marilynglenville.com/womens-health-issues/infertility/. Restarts periods which have stopped. Helps with heavy bleeding. What am I talking about?

Mumma Walker's 7 Years of Pregnancy by CharlieBeth: "1 month to due date" update!
http://blog2.family-walker.co.uk/2014/07/1-month-to-due-date-update.html
Thursday, July 17, 2014. 1 month to due date" update! It's one month to my due date! Three weeks OR LESS until my (probable) induction! Two weeks from today I'll have finished work. And it's just under one week until the kids finish school and nursery for the summer. I'm getting loads of Braxton Hicks now. I've had them a lot this pregnancy, and now they are getting that bit more intense. It's definitely just BH though - as I have to keep pointing out to Hubby who gets twitchy when I mention them. I'm ha...

Mumma Walker's 7 Years of Pregnancy by CharlieBeth: Why I WONT be taking Metformin!
http://blog2.family-walker.co.uk/2014/05/why-i-wont-be-taking-metformin.html
Thursday, May 22, 2014. Why I WONT be taking Metformin! So yesterday I went for my GD clinic appointment and growth scan. And I'm so glad that he did! Before I go on I need to make it very clear that I am NOT trying to convince other people not to take metformin, or to stop taking it if they already are. I am simply explaining why I am not going to be taking it. You can always speak to your doctor or midwife if you find yourself in my situation and are worried. Reasons I don't want to take Metformin:.

Mumma Walker's 7 Years of Pregnancy by CharlieBeth: Pregnancy "Diet"
http://blog2.family-walker.co.uk/p/pregnancy-diet.html
Let me just say from the start that if you are going to make judgements and comments like these bigoted and clearly uneducated people then you can do one right now. This poor girl didn't deserve these kinds of comments when she asked about Weight Watchers in Pregnancy, and neither do I:. Obesity and Risk To Baby's Health. I could become affected by GD in this pregnancy, and I could very easily develop Diabetes permanently afterwards.( read about the complications that can arise from GD here. Instead of s...

Mumma Walker's 7 Years of Pregnancy by CharlieBeth: Induction Date!!!
http://blog2.family-walker.co.uk/2014/07/induction-date.html
Wednesday, July 23, 2014. I got my induction date! Mark it in your diary folks, I'm booked in for August 5th 2014! Today went really well all round really. I had been dreading it since I had the kids last day at school and nursery to deal with, Tom to take to the Clinic with me, and the prospect of no nearby parking and awful heat to contend with. But Tom behaved, we found a good parking space, and escaped the GD Clinic in time to collect Jack and Georgie. Any one else fancy taking a guess? Ive been work...

Mumma Walker's 7 Years of Pregnancy by CharlieBeth: "Shock" Birth Story!
http://blog2.family-walker.co.uk/2014/07/shock-birth-story.html
Wednesday, July 30, 2014. I can't help thinking back to the conversation I had with the consultant on Wednesday, when she asked if I had experienced any signs of labour yet. I'd said that my braxton hicks had got a bit meatier but that's all they were. It was gone 3am. On the Sunday morning when I woke again. Contractions were 6mins apart and hurting. I got the Tens machine on and started closely watching my timings and trying to keep calm with some telly. 3:45ish. BANG - GUSH - OHHH! We laugh at this now.
