‘That evening and since my stomach has felt quite sore, almost like punched but it is totally bearable.

‘So for anyone in the same position, hope you sees this and it helps to ease your anxieties, I felt pretty anxious in the lead up to it and I’m the biggest baby so if I can do it, you can do it!! Now just need to sit and wait for when they feel ready to make an arrival.’
