25 Weeks Pregnant - the importance of preparing for postpartum as a first-time mum
I have been thinking a lot this week about my biggest regret after giving birth to my first baby. The birth was fantastic, so much more empowering than I could have imagined. Just amazing! But the postpartum? That was a big shock. I had been so focused on preparing for birth, but nobody had prepared me for what to expect postpartum. This happens to so many mums. And it’s stopping right here!!
15 Weeks Pregnant - I felt my baby move!
During the week I ran a poll on my Instagram stories asking for votes on when I might feel baby move for the first time. For reference, I said that I felt my first moving at 19-20 weeks with anterior placenta, and my second at 17-18 weeks with anterior placenta. This time I have a posterior placenta, and I asked if people thought I was likely to start feeling movements from 14-15 weeks, 15-16, 16-17, or 17+.
