OUR BIRTH STORY | Giving birth as a first-time mum & midwife - Positive Instrumental Birth UK
I just found out I'm pregnant 🤰 thank you lord Jesus i hope it's a girl
Excellent video
Hi Rosie, Type in ‘POGP Pelvic Girdle Pain’’ on Google and it should bring up physiotherapy specifically targeted at women who are expecting with exercises for management of this condition. The advice about the correct way to get in/out of bed, small things like that really helped me. Have you considered heat pads and taking a soak in the bath (when you get the chance!!) I hope these suggestions help you and make sure to seek advice from GP or Midwife before commencing any physio or using heat, I double-checked with mine at the time 💛
Congrats!!!! Pray for me. Spotting one week before period .
Wonderful sharing, you look beautiful
Your hair and makeup looks lovely ❤ you look beautiful xx
Yes she does
How very exciting, looking forward to see how it all progresses. I bet the upstairs will feel really light and airy when the landing is opened up.
Thank you! So excited for it to be finished; think the in-between process is going to be stressful but I’m sure it’ll be worth it in the end!! Eek! Xx
You are definitely not alone in the parent vs. 2 year old battle - you are doing amazing considering you are undertaking nothing short of a miracle growing a baby so do be kind to yourself - it’s lovely that your partner is so supportive. Also - when you got back in the car AFTER your facial and massage you looked VISIBLY like a new woman. I think it did you the world of good feeling those feel-good hormones; glad little man enjoyed it ^_^ P.S: dinner and rubbish telly to wind down the evening is the highlight of at least 90% of toddler parents out there - if it’s boring, I’m with you 💛
Oh I totally felt like a new woman too! Must remember to do little things for me every now and again; I’m totally rubbish at prioritising it but it makes such a difference!!! Oh absolutely; rubbish telly for the win!!! 🥰 xx
Good luck in your new home💜
Thank you!!! We are loving it so much so far!!! Xx
I myself will never move again after this country stupid stressfull process
Agreed. Totally mental process - not sure we will do it again for a long while! Too stressful and we are hoping this house will be a long term house now so are more likely to put the money and stress into house alterations than moving again any time soon!!! Xx
Congratulations how wonderful. :)
Thank you!!! 🩵 xx
Congratulations! 🎉
Thank you!! 🩵 xx
Congratulations!! A little brother for Evie, one of each truly wonderful 🩷💙 Wishing you health and happiness in your pregnancy and beyond 🤰🏻🌟
Thank you!! She was always going to be a wonderful big sister either way but I think it’ll be so special to have one of each!!! 🩵 xx
Congratulations xx
Thank you!! 🩵 xx
I new with Mira I am try too 🤰🏻🤞🙏
Good luck!! Xx
Thank you for this 😊
You’re very welcome! Hope it helps!!! Xx
Many congratulations to the family.. May you have a safe pregnancy and healthy baby.. Plz pray for me too for healthy baby girl.. 🙏
Thank you so much. Same to you, sending all my best wishes xx
Do you think it may be Hypermesis Gravidarum? Having any kind of morning sickness is yuck, but I've heard HG is debilitating. I 100% feel you on the fact that not having symptoms is worse than having bad symptoms. Having gone throughout 2 miscarriages, the symptoms would be comforting for me.
Yeah it is hyperemesis; I had it with Evie too. It eased with Evie by 14 weeks but I still threw up a lot throughout. It’s not showing any sign of easing yet so we shall see…. Yeah the symptom-loss or symptom changing is so hard in any pregnancy but pregnancy after loss is a whole new mental minefield! Solidarity and hugs xx
Congratulations 🥹🥲💕
Thank you!!! 🥰 xx

Awww I'm so happy for you. I just found out I'm pregnant. I didn't get a positive until 6 days after my missed period.
Congratulations!!! So so exciting! I’ll be sharing my whole journey so do keep in touch!!! Xx
I don't have a miss period my bleeding started a day before my period and was pink for two days then trun brown I also be having my period for 5 I end have it for 6 light so light and I am wishing and praying God didn't leave me and kanye I want this healthy baby
Why would they put you somewhere to labor that you couldn't also have the baby? I would have been uncooperative as well if I had to move mid labor.
Normally I would have been able to have her there, but because I pushed for so long and she was in a difficult position it needed more medical intervention than the midwife led unit could provide so I needed to move. I could have chosen to labour on the more medical delivery suite which would have meant I wouldn’t have needed to move but this was what I chose. Hope that makes sense! Xx
@@RosieAGirlOnAJourney gotcha! I'm sure it was more laid back in the room with the pool. Kind of like the birthing facilities we have here, except located in the hospital instead of just near it.
How long is your cycle usually, I tested at 10 dpo yesterday and was negative which was a bummer after seeing everyone getting positives early as 8 dpo I’m 11 dpo now and I’m extremely tired I’ve been cramping on and off for the past week or so no bleeding or anything though nausea with occasional vomiting, gassy, and tender breasts… I am very confused at this moment
My cycle is normally 28 days, but both my Mira and normal OPK strips tell me I generally ovulate day 12. Good Luck!! xx
Hi! Im just wondering why don't you give your exact levels next time for people like me that are trying to understand how mira works. Just my opinion because you supposed to share it with us but your only mentioning high or low that doesn't help people like me.
I haven't given exact levels because levels differ for each person, and what may be high for me may be low for you. Mira interprets them for you and tells you where you are at in your cycle and also you can tell when you see it plotted on the graph you can see if its higher than your previous readings or lower. Sorry if you feel I've been unhelpful - I just don't want to lead people astray by saying that a "5" is a high reading when for you it may not be, for example. Best of luck xx
HUGE congratulations!!! 🥰 xxx
Thank you so much, I'm so so excited, and it's such a relief to be able to share it all now!!! xx
I have a sprollie, theyre amazing dogs, especially if youre an outdoorsy person. They love nothing more than hikes with the family.
Oh absolutely - I'm pretty sure Murphy would live outside if we let him! Such a fab breed! xx
Hi Rosie wanted to offer an opposing perspective, 100% respect what works for one family is their holy grail 🙏🏻 For our family and 2 year old son we are far better off with me easing myself out of the house; apologies if this is an obvious suggestion but we time it so that he is having a bath; I can get my things together and lunch ready without him clinging onto me as he recognises these as me getting ready to leave, and having asked my partner how he is afterwards he has reported back that he is absolutely fine, toddles about doing his thing before cuddles for bed etc… hope this helps, do what is best for you 🌟
I am also new with mira
Best of luck xx
Good luck! We have just done this and selling/buying simultaneously was SO stressful. Worth it now we have been in our new place for a few weeks.
Thank you! It's all a very slow and painful process at the moment but I just know it'll be worth it! Can't wait to get in now!! xx
Buying and selling at the same time is the most stressful thing I’ve ever done, and we didn’t even have kids then! I always said I’d never do it again but here I am looking for a bigger house 😂 But too scared to take the plunge and do it. We are in the south west too (well, kind of south central/south west, we’re in Poole/bournemouth). Hope it all goes well for you lovely, and hopefully not long now 🙏🏻 xx
Honestly, I had no idea how stressful it would be - trying to liaise between solicitors and estate agents etc! Hoping we will have a bit more clarity soon on dates, but who knows! We are more Bristol area now, but if you're ever this way, do let me know - we could get the chaos monkeys together to play! Thanks lovely - hopefully we will be in soon! Fingers crossed! xx
I love your videos . I should have subscribed before. Saw the move into your first new build. Good luck for the next move ❤
Thank you - so glad you enjoy my videos - looking forward to sharing the next move, as and when it happens! Eek! xx
Came here because we just booked our babymoon here! We are going next month, can't wait!
Hope you had the best time - It was an amazing trip! xx
Hiii Rosie!! Thank you for posting this video - so helpful! I just ordered mine, and I'm trying to learn how to understand it before I get it. I can't quite tell if your PdG did go up? Should we hope for a higher or more drastic rise? ❤
Hey, glad you've found it useful - Its tricky because everyones readings will be different but yes, generally based on my own previous months of readings, I would have expected a steeper rise in PdG to confirm ovulation...tricky! Best of luck! xx
This is really interesting! I am planning on applying for a midwifery degree this September time - hopefully to start September 2025 so am starting to work on my personal statement at the moment and have watched your personal statement video which was also really useful so thanks for that!!
Glad you've found it helpful - good luck!! xx
Shnuggle moses basket 🧺 is such a stunning piece in your home ❤
We loved it - used it a lot and it looks fab too! xx
Really enjoy your vlogs! Love how you keep them real and honest x
Thanks - so glad you're enjoying them! I'm firmly of the belief that there are too many filters of mum life online, I will always keep it real! xx
I’m with you, packing for holiday is so stressful! I have 3 boys under the age of 5 & I’m the sole packer. Even if my husband offered I know I couldn’t trust him not to forget something of importance 😅 Hope you all had a lovely time! We just got back from Cornwall on Monday ❤
Thanks lovely, we had a fab time! Blimey, 3 boys under 5, you must be a superhero! Hope you had a lovely trip! xx
I love your videos, and your dress in this video. Where did you get it? I've been trying to find something similar as I have 0 summer clothes. Thank you for your videos, I also work nights and it takes such a toll on our bodies and minds!
Hey. I’ve been in the same situation of feeling awful when I’m going to work (or anywhere really) and my son is upset. I tried sneaking out but it didn’t feel right and sometimes made it worse. My son is 3.5 years’ old now and loves his routine so any change from that leads to tears. It does get easier though and it’s now become a game to say bye to me/shut the door on me/wave goodbye etc. Keep going, you’re doing great!! 💕
Do you claim the tax free childcare for Evie? I know you said you don’t get any funding until September (we’re in the same boat) but you can get the tax free childcare if you both work 🎉
Hey, yeah we do claim the tax free childcare but even with that it's like selling a kidney each month! The funding has kicked in now so we get 15 hours and that's made a difference but still so pricey!! xx
@@RosieAGirlOnAJourney I am studying midwifery and my little boy is in nursery full time, cos we have no family here (we're both from Poland, all our family is there) and we pay full time nursery bill. It's just so so tough, we're constantly skint. I have to go to work for 16 hours a week to get some free hours, which isn't ideal when you're doing such full on course.
So interesting thank you!
You don’t know me but I’ve watched your vlogs for the last few years now since wanting to become a midwife. I just wanted to check in & ask if you’re okay? 🥰🩷 Mum life & working is soo hard. I can completely relate 🫶🏼
Oh bless you, that is so sweet! It’s certainly been an adjustment, and there are definitely times that it feels overwhelming, but yes, I’m doing good! Often exhausted, but wouldn’t change mum life for the world - she’s awesome! Thank you for checking in, and thanks for watching!! Xx
Where shit comes to die 😂😂 your honesty always makes me giggle!x As an ex-NHS employee, it was reassuring to know it’s not just me who thinks/used to think about patients after leaving. Well done you for all the cleaning up, I think I’d of stayed in bed haha x
Haha; yeah you’ll get brutal honesty with me, that’s just how I am! 😂 I often think about them; and it’s so nice when you do get that closure of finding out how they got on, but it doesn’t always happen. X
@@RosieAGirlOnAJourney I worked for NHS 111 and we never got to know, I’m glad you get a chance to possibly find out :) x
Aw that must have been tough! 111 is such an amazing service; you must have spoken to people going through all sorts! X
Love this kind of vlog, something about watching spaces get cleaned lol. I was just about to ask about the NHS art and then you explained! Very cool!! Does your Trust not have electronic notes? I always check on the ladies I’ve cared for via our PCs, I can’t imagine not knowing the outcome 🥰
Glad you enjoyed it! With a mad toddler running around there’s a lot of tidying constantly required so I’m sure there will be more coming!! Haha! Yeah, I love it, and I’m actually really proud to have it too as it’s such a nice nod to how hard it was working during that time! Yeah they do have electronic notes but we aren’t meant to look stuff up that isn’t directly related to current care; and often I can’t remember their full names or hospital number to look them up a week or so later… It’s hard not knowing though! X
It really makes you appreciate being parents when you can get a little time for yourselves.
Absolutely does! A bit of space and we couldn’t wait for all the snuggles and having a toddler climbing up my leg again!
I just came across your channel! So real, it is so exhausting I feel you. Especially the lack of sleep we are going through a similar time. You’re smashing it🤍 Subscribed ✨
Us mums have got to stick together; it’s not easy! Nice to know we aren’t alone! Xx
That's family life for you.
Absolutely! Not always easy but you wouldn’t change it! 🥰
Found your channel only recently & I was so glad you uploaded today :) find your videos so calming and love your honesty! Xx
Glad you’re enjoying my videos! Thanks for watching! Xx
Love that you’ve continued to post this even if Evie is almost 2 😂 Murphy is such a happy boy, he melts my heart x
He really is; happiest pup ever 100% of the time! Xx
I’m starting midwifery at Plymouth this September so I’ve just sent this video to all of my future cohort 🥰 Thank you! ❤
Thank you! Hope it helps! Do let me know if you have any questions at all - happy to help any future midwives out there! 🥰
