📢 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 📢

TW. And I’m back in hospital. Sat afternoon I started having agonising lower abdomen pains, vomiting and fainted several times. I thought it was food poisoning. Hubby called the NHS and they sent over an ambulance when it became clear that I was very poorly. A quick scan showed that I had internal bleeding. A pregnancy test became back positive. I was having an ectopic pregnancy and was bleeding heavily. I couldn’t breathe because of all the fluid in my body. At this point, I thought I was going to die and told the nurse I had 2 beautiful boys and couldn’t leave them. I thought about them and my husband the whole time. I was rushed for an emergency laparoscopy (the second laparoscopy in less than 2 weeks 🤦🏼‍♀️) and they explain they would have to remove the Fallopian tube where the pregnancy was located. The procedure went well, but I have lost a Fallopian tube, one of my ovaries has twisted and I have an ovarian cyst too. I had 2 litres of blood in my abdomen and had to have a blood transfusion. I lost my baby. I had no idea I was pregnant as it was still a bit early to test. My fertility was already problematic, it’s even worth now. As #infantmentalhealthawarenessweek comes to an end, I want to hold space for the babies we’ve lost, the babies who were born sleeping. They mattered and we forever will be their parents. I also want to thank all the amazing #NHS #healthcarepractitioners and the blood donors. I can’t give blood but I wish I could. I am a registered organ donor. If this is all you can do, do it. I want to apologise for having to re-schedule all your appts as I really have to rest for the next few days. I will be seeing you as soon as I can and help remotely the best I can. Women, listen to your bodies. If you don’t feel right, get checked, it was almost too late for me ❤️ - no filter to show the reality, here I am with 3 more holes in my belly, pumped with fluids and looking like a fucking Xmas tree with all the lines in my arms!

TW: I want to take a minute to send my love and hold space to my friends Hannah and Gemma @glasgowslinglibrary whose beautiful babies were born sleeping, to all the other babies born sleeping, to the babies we lost, to my own baby. Light a candle to show your support ♥️ Posted @withregram • @glasgowslinglibrary Today is the Wave of Light - where we remember babies and children who have sadly died too soon.

Posted @withregram • @slumberroo NEWBORN TOP TIP 💫✨

SUSTAINABILITY: yep, that’s a picture of some ugly used jiffy/mailing bags. I always re-use packaging. I can’t remember the last time I bought some packaging to post stuff. Why am I showing you this? Well, first, to tell you that I re-use ugly, boring packaging to post the babywearing you buy from me or to post your hired slings. Re-using is better than recycling. It has a small impact on our earth. Second to make you think for a second before you buy a sling new. Before you make an expensive mistake. Try before you buy! Don’t follow the crowd and buy the exact same hype carrier on the market because that’s what other parents do. Always try first! It might not work for you or your baby. Then think about how long you will be using this sling for. Stretchy wraps and close caboos are great for newborns and small babies and last a few months (read my blog about this 😉). What will you do with it once you have to move your baby to a different sling or carrier? Consider hiring long-term from your local sling library! Also means you can change slings as your baby grows and experiment! Then you return the sling and it goes to another parent. The cycle continues. No waste, just a lot of cuddles and free hands so you can get on with your life and explore the world!! At Wrap a Hug, we offer a monthly fee of £5 for stretchy wraps and close caboos or £10 for all other types of slings. The world of babywearing is your oyster for a low price! So think about hiring before buying! There are no time limits and you can change slings as often as you want 😍 Drop me a DM to book an appt to find a sling for you! (A big thank you to @saz.pr for sending me used Jiffy bags!!)

Coffee, cake and comfy sofa ready for you at the Victoria Park Parents Coffee Morning @thehubvictoriapark 🥰 I’m hosting until about 11am. Try to come with baby in sling as buggy space is limited 😚😚
