I had my son in 2021 but I remember discussing my birth plan at my 36 week appt. & the midwife wrote it down on my notes so that when I went in to labour the midwives would know what I wanted/didn’t want! It’s sad you had such a negative experience, you should have had the opportunity to discuss your options properly xx
I’m sorry you’ve had that experience with the midwife it’s not nice, especially as a first time mum. She doesn’t know, you may have a very quick labour. Hope all goes well just relax xx
Please report that midwife, she should not be dismissing you like that and you should be given ample opportunity to discuss all birthing options with a trained professional. Maybe ask for another appointment with a different midwife? Xx
I kind of disagree…midwife’s have a really tough, responsible job/duty…a birthday plan should be please ensure to the best of your ability that my baby arrives safely…their not there to plan out all these unrealistic “birthing plans” (not saying that she is requesting anything extra) but the most important thing”plan” should be the safe arrival of this human being…reporting her is unfair and unnecessary.
@@avt30I understand what your saying but a ‘birth plan’ doesn’t just mean ooh I’d like to go in the pool please. It’s discussing medication options and the risks and benefits etc. which every pregnant person should be given ample opportunity to discuss and understand to make informed decisions during their birthing journey x
Far too many people are having awful experiences with midwives lately :( I'm so sorry you didnt have a good experience but please don't let her change your mindset on them all! As for birth plan I believe now it's all online with your notes X
I think I’ve just been abit unlucky with my local one - I’ve been into the maternity assessment unit / triage a couple of times and every single midwife and doctor we’ve come across there has been faultless so I know there are so many amazing ones out there🤍🤍
Ignore her Molly, she sounds horrible! Your baby boy will decide how he comes out! End of! My first birth was quick and relatively painless! You will smash it, just always think of the end result! Your boy! 😘
That midwife experience sounds so sad I’m really sorry you experienced this. I would’ve been feeling so low after that. It’s good to have a birth plan, so when you go to the hospital the midwives know what you would like to do. It isn’t always what happens but it’s nice to have one xx
With regards to your birth plan, if your notes are online there’s normally a section to write your birth plan on there, if you have paper notes just write it down and hand it to the midwife’s when you get to the hospital. My little boy was a ventouse delivery and I hadn’t had an epidural, there head does go back to normal after a few weeks! I hope everything goes how you want xx
Really enjoyed this update vlog, I have my fingers crossed for you that baby boy arrives soon and that the birth goes as smoothly as possible 💙 I don’t mean this in a rude way at all but I noticed Jamie looking at his phone a lot when he was driving 😔 it made me sad to see!
Thank you! 🤍 He had maps up to see where we were going, that’s what he’s looking at - not for any other reason. But agree he needs to get a holder or something!!
Keep positive, they don’t know how long it will take, I had my first baby in May 2023 and my labour was an hour and a half and he was born. It’s horrible to come away from a midwife appointment upset, I had that a couple of times during my pregnancy too. Sending positive vibes to you❤️xxx
I am in Leeds and there is an amazing Turkish grill in Rodley called Ephesus and one in Holbeck called Venus, near elland road but more laid back but amazing food xxxx
write ur birth plan down on paper n bring it with you.... ie.. no pain relief.. bath... no intervention.... whatever u wish... BUT... U have go into the labour ward with such an open mind because anything can happen and control can be taken away from u to get baby delivered safely.... jus take deep breaths and embrace it molly... u will be fine
Sorry to hear about your experience. I had my baby boy 10 weeks ago, never had a birth plan either just had a few things I knew I definitely didn’t want to have/have happen. I had the same situation with you regarding midwives and never had a discussion on birth plan and never had a great experience with the midwife appointments before birth unfortunately. However, when I had my son at 38 weeks I cannot fault the amazing midwives and how well they listened to me at the time and the aftercare. It was the most wonderful experience! First baby and 12h labour. Good luck🫶🏼xx
I’ve really been loving following your pregnancy journey through your vlogs! I lived in Leeds when I was in college and I highly recommend La Bella Vita in Garforth for a lovely Italian! 🩷
