6 WEEKS PREGNANT: HOW I *THINK* I CONCEIVED, BIRTH PLANS & UNCOMFORTABLE CRAVINGS

[@StephyLocas]

I started my pregnancy vegan and then switched to vegetarian. I think you have to listen to your body in the end and do what’s best for you. Currently cloth nappying at 10 months (started at 4 months). Swear by the tots bots all in ones although the 2 system might be easier with newborn as more pees/poos. Congratulations xxx

[@lfcreviewrips6580]

Emma I really love your mindset re. drinking milk and eating meat, and leaning toward a hospital birth. Just doing what feels right for you regardless of what people may think. Because I do things such as using cloth nappies, co-sleeping, extended breastfeeding, baby wearing, gentle parenting etc. I’m perceived as a ‘crunchy’ mum (I hate that term!) So many people are quite surprised to find out that I opted for hospital births each time, occasionally used pre-made baby food and enjoy time away from my little ones every now and then amongst other things that don’t really fit in to that stereotype. It’s lovely to see a mum just going with it, listening to your instincts and not getting caught up in what others expect you to be doing. Congratulations, I can’t wait to follow your pregnancy 💚

[@lfcreviewrips6580]

And regarding newborn nappies, prefolds and wraps have been my best friend with my 12 week old. Bambino mio bamboo prefolds and bumgenius flip covers are the bees knees 😁

[@toriebrame3419]

I've always reallly admired you for your values and determination to live in alignment with them. But the fact that you listened to your body and reintroduced some animal products makes me admire you even more! It's always good to remember that we are animals too and we need to take care of ourselves whatever that may look like for each person. So happy for you!

[@mamalina]

Torie Brame ah thank you so much for the support and kindness Torie 💓💓

[@LulasticHippyshake]

WOOO! Congratulations!!!!!

[@OmLochi]

Beyond happy for you all 🙏🏻💜

[@sjow3952]

YAAAAAY!!! 😀😀😀 You are my favorite KZbinr and I am soooo excited for your family! We loved using Alvababy covers with prefolds or flour sack towels during the newborn stage; we were limited on funds so that was pretty much our only option. Next time we want to do newborn size wool covers with FST and prefolds. Congratulations!!!

[@mamalina]

SchloJowzlanStowt ah thank you so much! 💓 wool covers is exactly what I want to try. Any recommendations? And what’s FST?

[@lucyturner7844]

Congratulations! I'm the same regarding hospital birth - the midwives are lovely and really enthusiastic about him birth but like you, I don't feel drawn to giving birth at home. I had a lovely natural birth at the midwife unit last time and laboured in the pool and I want exactly the same again, except hopefully give birth in the pool this time. I've bought second hand Tots Bots for my baby and have had Blueberry wraps recommended so I will see how that goes x

[@laurenbailey8533]

Coooooooongratulations 💛💜💚💙 how exciting! All the best xx

[@astasmiles6840]

Hi Emma, what brand organic decaf coffee do you buy and where? Thanks x

[@jordannebasing7785]

[@gkreyl8700]

So excited for you guys. Congratulations you look so excited. You are the best mum xx Love from Aust

g Kreyl 💓💓💓💓

[@itscarrotsncashews3481]

Congratulations! So exciting!! In terms of nappies like a lot of mums I loved prefolds and wraps for newborns. Especially bambino mio miosoft. Easy to find second hand too. Just loved them for the newborn stage! Also for DHA I really recommend “nothing fishy”. They take DHA from algae so no worries about mercury. Plus it’s plastic free and they offer zero waste refills ❤️

[@lianne6056]

Congratulations!!!!! This is sooooo exciting!! I was vegan before being pregnant with my third and then when pregnant I craved eggs sooooooooooooo much! You have to listen to your body x

[@chloedouglass]

So excited for you guys, you are such a wonderful family 💕 sending you all so much love xxx

[@hayley6520]

Congratulations Emma. So happy for your family.

[@The786legend]

So happy for the entire family, exciting times ahead

[@Kantodea]

Oh congratulations! We also found out that I am pregnant. Actually yesterday! So waiting for your videos about baby

[@mamalina]

Alena Mudretsova wah congratulations!! New update just went live 💓💓

[@Gittemary]

CONGRATS LOVE!! You are so amazing

[@mamalina]

Gittemary Johansen yes sure you are right. But it was also about getting right nutrients into my body as fast as possible. Not eaten animals in weeks now though so getting back to myself 💓 and thank you 💓

[@joyfulnoiseeducation4685]

Aw I'm so excited for you. Hope you are doing well. I'm 16 weeks pregnant with my second so due the 5th Aug. :)

[@mamalina]

Natasha’s Natter ah just a few days before me! Congratulations 💓💓

[@naturallykellysage]

So happy for you! Many congratulations xx

[@bekahsbigtinylife]

Wow! So exciting! We’ve been loosely trying for about 6 mo for our 2nd.. haven’t thought about changing much except for diet and exercise.. might need to try giving up caffeine and some reflexology now just to experiment 🤷🏼‍♀️ who knows? You’re an amazing mum win a beautiful family! So happy for you!

[@mamalina]

Rebekah Troche ah thank you Rebekah so much and wishing you all the very best 💓💓💓

[@HelloDeborahUK]

Eek I’m so excited for you! I’m 22 weeks and all about milk too. I’m just going with what my body wants and not feeling guilty. I think we’ve decided on Muslinz and Motherease wraps for newborn and maybe some terry cloths after lots of research. The baba and boo newborns look cute but i haven’t seen many secondhand.

[@DawsonDaysatHome]

I loved using prefolds and covers for newborns. So easy. Also yay for you!!!!!!

[@mamalina]

Jenn Dawson which prefolds did you use? Thank you so much 💓

[@DawsonDaysatHome]

Emma Ross I love the OsoCozy prefolds!

[@robynauer1752]

So happy for you! I found wraps and cloth inserts best at the newborn stage. That can also help save on washing as long as the wraps don't get soiled. When there was just a bit of wee on them (and I mean just a touch) I gave the wraps a quick hand wash and left them to dry on an airer. Great thing about plain cotton inserts is that they can be boiled if necessary. Can you tell I miss cloth nappies, lol?

[@mamalina]

Robyn Auer lol! When you say inserts do you mean just prefolds? Thank you so much 💓

[@robynauer1752]

@@mamalina OMG! Yes, I do mean prefolds, lol! Have forgotten a lot of my cloth nappy terminiology. I used organic cotton prefolds with Thirsties and Bummis covers - the smaller size designed for newborns. I remember prefering the velcro tab over poppers. I used TotsBots Bamboozles with a wrap at night. Although, come to think of it, you could use an insert (like the flip insert) as long as it's not made of rough microfibre. I found a two-part system caused fewer leaks. But, you know, every child is different. Hope that helped :)

[@SteveRueckTV]

Congratulations to you and your family. All the best.

[@faithprayerblessings]

Im so exited for you so i am also new in pregnancy due october its gonna be wonderful to follow you though this journey.

[@mamalina]

SAIRI E. Ah congratulations !💓💓

[@beckyocole]

Aw congratulations!! Im so excited for you! Ive also been craving dairy so much with this pregnancy too, which is random because I don't usually get on very well with it, but now I can eat lots! Im also aiming for a hospital water birth and have been doing hypnobirthing too! xx

[@mamalina]

Becky O Cole ah so excited for you Becky 💓

[@JDEVINCI]

Awwww congrats!!! I just hit 15 weeks so crazyyyy

[@idab2605]

Congratulations Emma💖

[@HelenSimpleSowandSew]

Aww congratulations! As for nappies. I used pop in newborn nappies. They were great. A.d I love my baba and boo nappies now my daughter is out of newborn cloth.

[@iloveMAKEUPxD]

Congratulations!!!! ❤❤❤💙💙💙

[@kimh1263]

I had my son late July last year through that heatwave. It was horrible!!! If your house gets mega hot I’d see if you can hire an air con unit from a company because being outside, in the shade and cold baths just didn’t cut it for me. I went into labour the day of the full moon and gave birth in the middle of a mega summer storm. Nature knows!! Super excited for you, take it easy and stop making me broody 😉😂

[@kimh1263]

Oh and I’m mega into cloth. Boring old prefolds all the way! Easy to wash quick to dry (can be tumble dried), cheap to build up a big stash! X

[@annalewis680]

I gave birth in September 2017 and was sooo uncomfortable over the summer months.

[@kimh1263]

Ooooo, also could I please recommend “The Positive Birth Company” I’ve spoken to their founder a couple of times and plan to follow her guidance with my next pregnancy (I’m on the countdown!!). They’ve just released an app as well which helps with labour. So excited for this! Xx

[@mamalina]

Kimbers Maria yes Shivvy is a good friend and love everything about PBC 💓 will def be doing a shout out to them soon 💓

[@elisabetfinlayson8539]

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@madelovinglycrochet]

Congratulations!! I keep seeing ads on Instagram for Popins? I think that’s how it’s spelt they look like reusable nappies x

[@gracex592]

[@veronicabuckingham-bostock3091]

[@sarab5760]

Congratulation ! So happy for you. I had my second child this January which is my month Bday.

[@Liefpj]

Great stuff, we have a 16mth old boy and weren't trying, but found out last mth that we are now expecting our 2nd in Aug... Ultra sound next week! Not sure if we should find out the gender. All the best, love the song!

[@mamalina]

Bob Ranch ah! Congrats! You’re due just days before me 💓💓

[@mn-kt6em]

What I wish I would have done differently in my pregnancy is take a probiotic. They recently found the amniotic sac is filled with the Flora from the mothers biome. I also wish I would have eaten more meat and eggs, and salmon / dha. You should look up Dr Rhonda Patrick! She has an awesome prenatal diet blog. Congrats :) power to you for quitting caffeine.

[@mamalina]

morbid morgue clark oooh thanks - I’ll look her up 💓

[@brittanycary1171]

I am almost 7 weeks pregnant now :) it’s so excited. But sadly I have been using more waste cause the only thing my queasy self wants come in single use containers. But it’s only for a little while!

[@lesleyann5560]

OK you can stop eating meat now! Reflexology worked for me...

[@thiswildelifex]

It's such a shame that meat and dairy are going more into your diet as it's awful for your health and the planet, not even mentioning the animals :/ Maybe dairy free milk and non meat? X

[@Laura_Ribas]

Amber Oak-Leigh she feels like eating it. Let her be.

[@thiswildelifex]

@@Laura_Ribas she has said it doesn't align with her morals and she doesn't want to do it, so I'm offering a possible solution. Maybe vegan mock products will satisfy the cravings, or she will be able to fight the cravings for the sake of the planet

[@ASusan89]

This is totally her choice. It’s so sad to see comments like this. Let’s be happy she’s pregnant?! It’s such a blessing!!!
