How long (ish) did it take to you to conceive?

Natural

Did you have any medical conditions prior to pregnancy?
No

Did you have any conditions that developed during your pregnancy (e.g.Pre-eclampsia, Gestational diabetes)?
No

Did you write birth plan? If so, what birth choices did you hope for?

No

 

What birth did you have?

Spontaneous delivery at term plus 2. Waters went and then began contracting, baby girl born a few hours later.

How was your recovery from birth?
Really good. No sutures and all was straight forward

Do you have any advice or helpful hints or tips that we can share with parents to be?

Take time to rest. Sit on the sofa and enjoy all the cuddles because the newborn bubble is gone in a flash. Prioritise you and the baby. Everything else can wait.
