Pregnancy week 25
Current stage of pregnancy: week 25 GA; week 23 FA; 35 (!) cigarettes since the beginning of pregnancy. Last cigarette was 14 days ago.
Not much changed since last pregnancy post. We had the consultation with our midwife I've been anxious about for months, and it went surprisingly well. The consultation was about planning my childbirth classes. I was afraid to tell her I didn't want to attend her group classes because I'm trans and I'm afraid women won't want me there. I was also afraid to tell her I didn't want to attend sophrology classes, even though I don't want any pain medicine or epidural during labor. Turns out she didn't want us in her group classes either. She told in a really kind voice that I wouldn't mix well with her other patients. It's kind of a bold thing to say, considering I could have made a big thing about how this is transphobic, but I don't think it really is. I agree, tbh. Some things are for women, and I'm not one, I don't want to crash these women's opportunity to experience sisterhood. Long story short, she opened private slots just for us, with an accent on physiology. She also agreed sophrology was not for everyone and she knew I would opt out. I feel really grateful for the care team I have.
On another note, this week's random events:
- My husband felt the baby for the second time today;
- I wrote my unborn kid's name for the first time today;
- I woke up unprompted at 3:30 am every night;
- The cat is mad anxious;
- I've not had nausea for 2 days;
- I felt slightly depressed everyday, but in a good way;
- We might have found a way to move to an alt community;
- My bump is gigantic;
- We bought a bottle warmer, a bath cape and noise cancelling headphones for babies.
- Still no news from my family.
