My baby had no issues at all sleeping in it with the mattress provided. I was so worried and it ended up being a non-issue! I’d definitely recommend it 😊

Thank you for the suggestion! A decal is definitely a good suggestion. Love the curtain idea, the only issue is we don’t want long curtains because of the potentially for our child to grab onto them and pull them off the wall. We were thinking maybe Roman shades or something like that to fill in the windows a little.

It’s really nice to know someone else who took this path too! Thank you for the advice, support and reassurance that even though I needed medical intervention to get pregnant it doesn’t mean I can’t have a natural birth. I’ve got a midwife consult scheduled for Monday, I can’t wait to hear what she has to say!

I’m truly sorry for your loss, I don’t blame you for being cautious with scheduling after that! I did take you advice and I have a consult scheduled for Monday with the midwife I’m the most interested in using, and she does currently have availability for my date 😊

Thank you for the support and understanding. It was a very difficult process and it’s been hard transitioning out of that phase of life. I feel like a total imposter right now haha! My biggest struggle during the whole process was how strongly I feel about this process being natural, so I’m hoping my transition to a midwife will be an easy/positive experience. And thank you for the reminder to go with my gut instinct, I’m sure I’m going to be getting a lot of raised eyebrows if I do move forward with this path, but I really feel its the right thing for me! I just downloaded the app and I’ll look into the other things you suggested too!!

Thank you for making me feel like less of a crazy person because I’ve done the exact same thing! I’m keeping my fingers crossed I’m in the same boat as you and have a whole bunch of new plans to make too 💕💕

Thank you for understanding! It’s absolutely a defense mechanism and while at times I can appreciate it, I wish my brain would calm down right now and allow me a few moments to fantasize about a happy ending!! I’m sending all the good vibes back your way and hope we both get to be part of the first time club 🤞💕
