In the first few weeks of being pregnant I got asked to be a part of a friend’s wedding 5 weeks after my little one’s due date.

Any second time mums feeling like their baby isn’t going to stay put for much longer? It’s probably all in my head but it feels so different this time, it’s like my body is about to fall apart 🤣 I’m 35+4 and I’m not sure if it’s because it’s a second baby but it feels like this baby is going to fall out any…

I remembered during the summer I put this on myself and the baby…. I really thought it was sunscreen when I bought it!

My screen results came back 1 in 284 chance. This isn’t classed as high risk… I have spoken to my midwife and screen co ordinator, I won’t be offered further tests cause it’s over 150.
