I can not describe the love and support we have received since the 12-week scan. The number of messages Jack, myself and Em have had have been immense!
So first things first... birth isn’t only a very physical experience, it’s also a hugely emotional one. Whatever your body goes through, your mind will too.
I had only ever made it to a midwife booking an appointment during our first pregnancy, which ended up being an ectopic, but other than that, I had never gotten this far and didn’t really know what to expect.
Our private doctor emailed and said Em could come off her progesterone support as the 8-week scan had been ok, which I know Em was happy about as they had been making her feel super bloated for weeks.
After the 6-week scan, I was overcome with the most amazing positive feeling, which definitely scared me. I was almost too frightened to visualise that baby with it being so early, but it became impossible not to daydream.
