34 Weeks Pregnant & What’s In My Hospital Bag for Labour

Time is flying by, and although we still don’t have a definite plan in place for when this little one will be coming along – its still a toss up between induction and seeing if I can go into labour by myself, but this will be decided at our next scan in 3 weeks time – I have finally gotten round to packing my hospital bag. After a few days of particularly painful Braxton Hicks, and both the boys coming at 37/38 weeks, its definitely given me a kick to get organised for when the time comes. I’ve made a…

I honestly didn’t think when I took a test just before we went to Disneyland Paris in March that it would be positive – mostly because we had only just started trying, and with Mason it took 4/5 months for me to fall pregnant. I’ve honestly never been so excited to see the word ‘PREGNANT’. I will be documenting this pregnancy over here on my blog and via…
