[Toms Mummy]

Hi everyone, it's very quiet on here! Shame no one has joined from TTC ..... I hope there's lots of baby making going on there though!

I had my daughter on Sun morn! She's gorgeous! It was a short, 2hr labour so we werea bit shocked but we're doing well!.... Her name is Kate and she weighed 8lb3oz, not bad for 12 days early! X

Hi all!!

Sorry not posted for ages - been a busy time... so have been mainly stalking on here

Will try and update properly this eve but in the meantime will just say that all is good with the baby - he (yes we're team blue! ) is growing rapidly and likes to spend his evening kicking the entirety of my stomach

Noo and Toms - CONGRATULATIONS!!! So happy for you both on the safe arrival of your little ones
Noo - did you get a section anyway in the end? Looks like you delivered before the date for you planned one... and size wasn't so bad after all
Toms - love the name and wow that's a short labour!! Hope you're doing ok, I was hopeful tht you had gone into labour when you hadn't posted for a couple of days!

Hope our other lovely mummies are doing well?

And hi EMA Great to have you here, so happy you got your

Buttercup you're up next!

Have a lovely day everyone

Hiya - I had my baby a few days earlier than planned section as I started contracting. His weight wasn't too bad but he was born at 38 weeks compared to Coby being born at 42 weeks. He would have been bigger than Coby if he'd been left to 42 weeks to come himself As it was, he still got stuck and ended up with an extended CS wound and forceps delivery. Pah! Ah well! He is 4 weeks old today and a reflux baby so things a tough! Hope all is well x

 

[Toms Mummy]

Lovely to hear from u baby1..... I can't believe how quickly your pregnancy is going! Congratulations on your boy! Do u have any names picked out?

Aww noo I hope the reflux settles soon! X

 

[Toms Mummy]

I wonder how buttercup is, it is close for her now! X

 

[Buttercup2]

Tom's CONGRATS!!! Pictures! She's a nice sized baby, too Good job! I can't believe you beat me to the punch

Baby1, so awesome that you know what you're having now! I'm glad everything is going well for you. Are you feeling lots of movement?

I'm still pregnant. The baby is getting very low, and I'm feeling a few "real" contractions here and there, but nothing consistent. Fingers crossed that I don't end up induced! My official due date is on Sunday. I've been doing stairs, walking, eating pineapple and spicy foods. Any other old wives tales for me to try??

 

[Toms Mummy]

Haha, sorry for queue jumping buttercup! I hope your lo doesn't take too long to make an appearance!..... I'm not sure it did much but I bounced on my ball lots! X

 

[annio84]

Not an old wives tale buttercup but this is what I think got grace going!

 

[annio84]

And well done Toms! Hope you're settling well

Love the pic Annio ha ha!! Toms can't see the latest pic of Kate for some reason... Hope you're both doing ok though
So a bit of a better update from me now....
I'm 25 weeks tomorrow and though I'm loving being pregnant I can't say it's the easiest thing in the world My blood pressure's still running low so am keeping work on their toes with regular faints, indigestion is my current enemy and my old hip / back problem is flaring up now my bump is growing. I drop hours at work in a couple of weeks which I'm looking forward to. Due to finish properly at 36 weeks but in all honestly I doubt I'll get that far (I work on Intensive Care and it's a really physical job, I already can't do about half of my duties and have a ridiculous risk assessment in place!)
Still 15 weeks to go and I'm growing rather inpatient to meet my little man already Everyone said that this part would fly by but it's dragging a bit to be honest. I think it's because 3 of my friends have given birth in the last couple of weeks and I'm a bit jealous of them Though 2 of those have had theirs prematurely, one is still in SCBU so I've also had words with my little man telling him to cook properly before he arrives He's a very active little boy, especially in the evenings where he goes a bit mental. It's funny but I can see his daddy's personality in him already. He doesn't like being constrained at all - hates me leaning forward, anything resting on my bump and detests seatbelts! Every time I'm in the car he punches away at the seatbelt, not sure how I can explain to an unborn baby that they're non-negotiable!
We had a big disappointment at the start of the month as we had to cancel our 3 week trip to Florida literally the day before we were due to fly, suitcases were all packed and everything My nephew got some kind of viral illness, he wasn't well enough to fly and I wasn't allowed to be near him as no one could figure what it was. And we were all staying in same accommodation so it was either we all went or none of us. Fortunately we're fully covered by travel insurance so at least we've made some unexpected savings towards next year. We still got away for a week, stayed in some lovely hotels in England and got a good rest. And the holidays that I saved are what are enabling me to drop hours at work so maybe it was all for the best.
Hope everyone's had a lovely weekend
