Hi plebpoet! What wonderful news. I am so happy for you. Trust in yourself and the divine is essential for this process. ❤️ You sound calm and confident. I carried much anxiety during my first trimester. Learning about birth (podcasts, movies, books) and daily mantras helped me. Such as "I am everything my baby needs", "my baby is strong and healthy". 🐣
I also had some uncertain ultrasounds. For my next pregnancy, I think I will skip them completely. 😌
Pregnancy does not equal fragility although listen to your body cues. I was rock climbing until about 20 weeks! I did experience some fatigue/lightheadedness as my blood volume increased. Take care to hydrate in the heat. 🌡️
I am so happy you are reading Ina may guide to child birth!!!! Check out the birthing instincts podcast. 🥳
I encourage you to consider a homebirth with a midwife. Start with watching some YouTube homebirth videos, they are beautiful. ✨ Do you plan on having a doula? My midwife recommends one for all first time moms.
Lastly, do you plan on getting a birth certificate?
