@Katie from the get go I was shoved in a high risk category because of being over 35 haha
Sorry I can’t comment on the low body weight bit for myself, but I just wanted to jump on here and say how awful I think this whole ‘geriatric mother’ thing is!! I’m only just 32 and they’ve made comments like ‘due to your advanced maternal age…’ !! Really annoys me, especially because after 4 years of infertility and a loss at 19 weeks last year, it’s not like having my first term pregnancy at this age was really in the plan! Anyway I’ll back off now 😂
Oh my god, girls. Are these comments coming from midwives? 32 is like prime birthing age these days 😅 unbelievable...
I had the exact same with my first born (minus my age) but also finding my muscles get exhausted super quickly. I’ve been eating like a horse this pregnancy too! I’ve started following some exercises and stretches on YouTube and using my birthing ball every evening for the last few weeks and I definitely feel a bit more limber! I’ve been having some electrolyte drinks to help with my energy and these seem to help too so just going to slowly but surely keep going until I *hopefully* go into natural labour and can manage the VBAC lmao. Hypnobirthing has also helped shift my mentality a lot too! X
Thank you @Zoe that’s really helpful xxxx
Who's "risk bracketing" you? I'm 38 and literally no-one has mentioned my age... except me in jest!
