to you and your partner mama.

I think a 20 week one is more the normal. We're planning our second homebirth and getting our 20 wk ultrasound in a couple weeks. We don't do testing aside from my bloodwork at the beginning so the 20 week is a our way of checking in. In...

It's def. related to pregnancy. Your body has to provide so much more oxygen to the blood (which there is more of) so it's very normal to feel out of breath; not to mention the lungs get less space esp. as pregnancy progresses or...

I'd love to be in! I've never done the bead swap but it sounds fun and I'd also be in on the crafty swap. I can sew and embroider. Not sure how they work but let me know!
