Hello, and welcome to the final episode of the preparing for birth and baby mini series! This week I am wrapping up the series talking through all the final things I can think of. This week I am focusing on late pregnancy and the hormones, irritability and nesting urges that seem to come to me at 38 weeks! I talk through the birth pool we have very kindly been loaned by https://www.gentlebirthsbirthingpoolhire.co.uk , how it works, what you receive and how it goes back. We are going to be preparing our 'birth room' on Thursday, I will be visually sharing that on mumtalkpodcast instagram so do follow if you would like to see but I talk this week through our intentions.  I also touch on childcare for different scenarios, organisation, finishing our little boys nursery and the postpartum period.  This week I share with you two brilliant products, one from Cybex https://cybex-online.com/en-gb/car-seats/cloudzisize who we have worked with before and really rate them. If you are after an infant car seat that swivels on a base PLUS can be used without a base and with a car seatbelt AND has a lie flat function have a listen! It really is a brilliant infant car seat. The second product, after mentioning it on episode two is the brilliant PacaPod changing bag https://www.pacapod.com/ , its beautiful, have a listen and watch mumtalkpodcast highlights at the same time so you can see what I am talking about.  Here are the links to kindly gifted PR products which have just made our nursery - the Kidly Lion Rug https://www.kidly.co.uk/products/tapis-petit/lion-rug/10749?colour=ocher & Kidly Giraffe animal head https://www.kidly.co.uk/products/kids-depot/animal-head-wall-decor/10829?colour=giraffe  We will be back with series 10 late June/early July! I am so excited already!
