It’s Beginning

Posted by: typealice In: Baby

Not for everyone’s ears, I’ll warn you!

I lost my mucous plug this morning. By coincidence, we had a doctor’s appointment this morning, and they examined me. The doctor told me the baby hadn’t dropped (which I know, because I still have a hard time breathing) and I’m not at all dialated or effaced, so she said she’d still give me 10 days before I actually go into labour.

For some women, losing their mucous plug means things are starting to happen, and for others, it means nothing. Here’s to hoping it means nothing, because we’re still not ready to have this baby yet! You should have seen Clive’s face when I woke him up with the news that I’d lost it! It was great!!

About

I'm Gillian, a Nova Scotian woman with a son named Ash (born 09/07) and a wife to Clive. I am what they call an Attachment Parent; I breastfeed, wear my baby as much as possible, cosleep, cloth diaper and practice elimination communication. I have very strong parenting views. We are raising Ash as an organic vegetarian. I care about the environment and do what I can to reduce my carbon footprint and set a good example for others, especially my child.

I'm proudly drug free, but can't say that I have always been. My early 20s were comprised mostly of travelling- I've lived and worked everywhere from West Africa to the Caribbean. I currently run AP Mamas, a site dedicated to attachment parenting and G Slings, my sustainable sling company.
