Rebecca - yay that's really great!! I hope you have an absolutely blessed weekend with all your kids at home. So sorry that you have to return to work. I have to start again in 3 weeks and just want to cry when I think about it.
Nimbec- shame you've been under so much stress & exhaustion during your pregnancy. I hope you can REST now and keep that baby in a bit longer. Do you have someone taking over your work responsibilities?
Rq- wow that sounds exhausting. I hope you can lock your doors today
it's nice that you have so many people in your life who all care though!
Ellie- It's totally possible that the scan was a bit inaccurate and that they are just being cautious. Ultrasound growth scans are not 100% reliable. My son measured SO LARGE on all the scans from 30 weeks +; in fact my dr had me do the 2hour glucose test based solely on his measured size. Despite a nuchal cord and him being back-to-back, I was only advised to consider a c-section due to his size. And when he was born he was not big at all in fact just 3,15kg. (His weight was initially recorded incorrectly by a nurse as 3,51kg; we only found out that it had been incorrect a day later).
Long story short- I hope and believe all is well with Finlo's growth, too. It is however reassuring to have medical professionals looking out for us and being cautious so they can deliver our babies safely. Xx
Afm- love being a mom. My baby is definitely the love of my life and a breath of fresh air in this house. My husband was nice to both of us for a few days but quickly regressed to his old ways and I'm just staying away from him. Eg yesterday I got screamed at for "sitting at home all day doing nothing and contributing nothing" (= maternity leave). This from a man who still hasn't spent a cent on his son and hasn't helped out one single night since his son has been born etc. Since he can't breastfeed, refuses to do nappies, doesn't prepare or wash bottles etc and in general doesn't want to help out anymore, my son also doesn't spend much time with him anymore. Baby G and I have a separate bedroom on a different floor of the house so we avoid him when we can.
