Birth Options


Twice now I have been recommended to give birth at home in a pool. I had never considered this option before. I always thought that if something went wrong, being in a hospital is the safest option. Though the natural and drug free option of a pool birth is appealing…There is just so much to think about and so much I don’t know. I feel so ignorant.

Oh, by the way, making it to the second trimester does not mean the end of troubles. Whilst I feel million times better than two weeks ago, now I am suffering from headaches, blocked sinuses and sleepless nights. Oh the joys…

The Heartbeat


I heard the heartbeat of my baby for the very first time today. It was amazing. Just like the 12 week scan, it brought a huge smile on my face. Now I want to hear my baby’s heartbeat all the time. It was magical. I can tell I will love this baby so much and will want to hear it, smell it and see it all the time!
