I am in my 2nd trimester...13wks 2days, and very excited. I have had 5 previous pregnancies and births and all have been with minimal if any meds. My first I had iv meds put in and that's it. I am looking forward to having this baby naturally without any meds if possible.
I need to change my vote from "I'm not pregnant" to "I'm in the 1st trimester!"
3rd trimester, I'm almost 31 weeks! Joy, I absolutely Love the Birth Wishes Series! There are somethings I get to leave out in mine!
-At my hospital Baby HAS to be with one or both parents at ALL TIMES. NO Nurse or Doctor can take baby out of room without a parent accompanying them.
-Baby STAYS with parents in room NO NERSERY.
-Baby was to be in clear sight of one or both parents Nurse or Doctor CANNOT watch baby if mom has to go to the bathroom, baby HAS to go to the bathroom with mom if dad isnt present.
-On discharge Baby HAS to be in Car Seat and IN MOMS' Lap (wheel chaired out).
-Baby HAS to have a band on their ankle, mom has to take baby with her if she wants to walk the halls. If mom get too close to the exit, the ankle bracelet will trigger an alarm and hospital stuff will come and check to make sure It IS mom who is with baby.
I'm not pregnant but I want to gather all the information about the different birth plans that I can.
WoW im allready in my second trimester!! I still cant believe I fell pregnant so quick after a missed miscarriage..I still have trouble when I feel him move and get super excited...
Not long now untill im in my 3rd trimester.. YEEHAA
Congrats everyone
That is GREAT Tiffiepooh! I look forward to hearing all the research and information you can provide and your experience when you do have your next one!!! I'll be touching on the subject at some point as I feel it is SO important in helping reduce our national cesarean rate and helping mommas and babies to be safe in delivery.
Im not pregnant since we just had our first 23 weeks ago today. But I want all the info I can get for the next time so I can have the birth I want. Gonna try a VBAC next time and so have to wait at least 18 months but I already found a hospital and midwife that will support me. :)
I put 1st trimester for myself even though I'm just a few days away from the 2nd trimester!!! 12 weeks and got to hear the heartbeat for the first time today. Magical! Little one was moving all over, playing hide-n-seek with the doppler!
I'm approaching week 24! Crazy!! :D
Im on week 31!!!!! I CANT BELIEVE IT STILL! It all goes by way too quickly.
Here's a hint:
1st Trimester - conception to week 12
2nd Trimester - week 13 to week 28
3rd Trimester - week 28 to birth
I checked several sources and they all said the above dates so we'll go by that!
