Hello fellow mum's to be and mum's already. My name's Charlotte and my other half is called Ben. This is my first child 💙 and it is due on 2nd September 2018. I part own a dog (it's my mum's but I was the one who bought her, raised her and trained her to be best dog in the world). Looking forward to having this baby. I also have a blog I started for my pregnancy journey.

My labour and recovery have been the easiest. Even breastfeeding I am finding quite easy. But I understand how women find it difficult. The amount of times I've been quite frustrated because I've latched Presley on correctly and then he moves and it can take an hour or so to get him feeding correctly. So I have a lot of respect for women who try to breastfeed; whether it be for a couple of hours or a couple of months. It's not as natural as we're made out to be. You have to work hard to get it g...

He finally arrived this morning at 7.51am weighing 6lb 5.5oz 😍

Update for anyone wanting it 😂😂 had the dilators in for 29 hours. Took me through to labour ward (3.30pm) removed them and broke my waters (4pm), stuck me on the drip (6pm), started having contractions and needed gas and air until I screamed for an epidural (10:45pm), and now very comfortable 😍😍 no sign of baby but at least it's starting and no pain 👐👐

Hour 48: hopefully today is the day. Hopefully they can break my waters and get things happening. Definitely got that feeling I'm Rachel from that episode of Friends where everyone gives birth before her 😂😂😂

Last bump pics, 2 days apart

So 33 hours in and having sporadic contractions 😂😭 and 2 types of inducing to try and get me dilated enough to burst what little waters I have (last measured at 4.3cms on Thursday)

Being induced tomorrow. Wish me luck 🤞🤞

Can't sleep. Think I'm just nervous about the next few days. Having to unpack the car and pack it so that we've got everything incase I have to be admitted today

Been a bit of emotional one today. Go in for a scan as I had just above 5th centile on fluid last Thursday at my scan. There's even less this week but quite a bit in his stomach and bladder so he's obviously swallowing and weeing. Go to the assessment unit and have them tell me they want to induce me Sunday and monitor me tomorrow. So looks like I'll be having a baby 2 weeks early 😂😵 wanted a baby at the start of the new school year 😂😂 oh well.

So need some advice from anybody who has been in a situation like me. Currently homeless and being switched from BnB to BnB so no fixed abode at the moment. What do I do about doctor's, midwives, and health visitors as haven't changed my address anywhere as still have some access to previous permanent address?
