Some of you may remember what happened the last time I was pregnant, and the day my waters broke .
Well, today I am 29 weeks and 4 days pregnant, and my waters are still intact! Although I actually went into labour when I was 30+1, 29+4 was when everything started. This is a big deal for me - I may actually have a 'normal' pregnancy this time round.
I do need to make it clear that I wasn't exactly panicking about another premature birth - for a start, I might still have one, and actually, I was lucky in that Gracie was absolutely fine - but obviously it's not the ideal.
So now, I can start thinking about planning the birth I want. I had been a little bit nervous about thinking things through properly, but now I might start. That said, I'm not the most forward-thinking of people anyway, so I daresay there will be decisions left to the last-minute again.
Being pregnant second time round is different - mainly because I have a 4-year-old to run around after, and also because I'm now 40 - but let's hope that giving birth second time round will be more on my terms - wish me luck!
