Preparing for Birth and Baby mini series: late pregnancy, birth pool and how it works, birth room and home birth items, nesting, car seats and the perfect changing bag.

<p>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.</p> <p>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 <a href= "https://www.gentlebirthsbirthingpoolhire.co.uk">https://www.gentlebirthsbirthingpoolhire.co.uk</a> , 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. </p> <p>I also touch on childcare for different scenarios, organisation, finishing our little boys nursery and the postpartum period. </p> <p>This week I share with you two brilliant products, one from Cybex <a href= "https://cybex-online.com/en-gb/car-seats/cloudzisize">https://cybex-online.com/en-gb/car-seats/cloudzisize</a> 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.</p> <p>The second product, after mentioning it on episode two is the brilliant PacaPod changing bag <a href= "https://www.pacapod.com/products/hartland-pack-black?variant=39358845943893"> https://www.pacapod.com/</a> , its beautiful, have a listen and watch mumtalkpodcast highlights at the same time so you can see what I am talking about. </p> <p>Here are the links to kindly gifted PR products which have just made our nursery - the Kidly Lion Rug <a href= "https://www.kidly.co.uk/products/tapis-petit/lion-rug/10749?colour=ocher"> https://www.kidly.co.uk/products/tapis-petit/lion-rug/10749?colour=ocher</a> & Kidly Giraffe animal head <a href= "https://www.kidly.co.uk/products/kids-depot/animal-head-wall-decor
