I'm planning to have a water birth at kings, gonna use TENS machine for 1st stages of labour then go for water birth at hospital, that's then plan anyway?


Yeah I've heard 1st borns are normally late, I'm kinda hoping he will be a bit early (38 weeks would be grand!) As they say he'll be just under 9lb if I go all the way to 40 weeks? Which in a way is quite reassuring as I've not put a lot of weight on, it all seems to be boobs and bump! Lol, but at least I know all the goodness has gone to baby!! :-)

I found the Tens machine good for early stages. All I would say is do keep an open mind and don't be too disappointed if it doesn't go how you envisage. I delivered a 9lb baby and lived to tell the tale - I'm sure you'll be fine. Lots of luck to both of you katy and simone. Would love to meet you and your little ones.

    • I’m currently conducting exploratory research into menstrual health education in UK secondary schools and would really value the insight of PSHE leads, Heads of Year, or pastoral staff.    The research aims to understand:   How the menstrual cycle is currently taught within the RSHE framework Where schools feel confident — and where there may be gaps Whether students are taught and  asking questions around the full menstrual cycle, symptoms, wellbeing and conditions such as PMS/PMDD or endometriosis How schools support students in feeling empowered to understand their bodies and seek help appropriately Whether education around nutrition, lifestyle, and menstrual wellbeing is currently addressed   The long-term goal is to explore whether there is a need for additional, age-appropriate, medically informed support on the menstrual cycle.  I’m not selling a programme and there is no obligation beyond a 30 minute informal chat online (Unpaid). All conversations will be confidential and used only to inform the research. If you work in a UK secondary school and would be willing to share your perspective, I would be extremely grateful to hear from you. Please comment below or email me [email protected] Thank you for the vital work you do. Best wishes, Emma
