Reflections
The beginning of this pregnancy month began whilst Australia, an unexpected trip that I covered in my last blog post and vlog.
This month has been fabulous once again, feeling physically very good and getting oh so excited as my pregnancy progresses. I can’t believe that in just three more months I’m going to be a mother, something I’ve looked forward to becoming my entire life.
Something exciting we have done this month is signing up for a Hypnobirthing course which we will participate in at the end of August, when I am 33 weeks pregnant. Hypnobirthing is something I have been interested in for a while after reading and watching other people’s experience with online. If you haven’t heard of Hypnobirthing, it’s a method to help you go through labour and delivery in a calm and confident way, utilising relaxation. I’m very much looking forward to completing the weekend course, and will of course tell you all about it once I have.
