Thank you ladies. Will get lots more pics. I can't stop staring at him. He likes being cuddled.
Just so so thankful.
Hope to update more soon. The after birth pains this time are insane. I can't believe I actually have that done feeling but definitely not wanting to go through that again. All will be revealed when I do birth story

@Suggerhoney hes just precious!!!! Congrats hun. That sounds like a difficult birth but I’m so proud of you. How exciting to have the first baby of the thread here!!

 

[sadeyedlady]

Congratulations and well done @Suggerhoney

 

[daniyaaq]

@Suggerhoney oh congratulations he looks so so cuddly and gorgeous.

 

[soloso]

Congratulations!! He is so precious. Sorry to hear it was a rough birth but soo pleased he is finally here safe sound and healthy!!! Hope you recover quickly xxx

@Reiko_ctu are they very intense then? I found my shorter labour much more intense than my longer ones! I wonder if it will follow suit? My girls came much quicker than my boys.

Oh yes super intense!

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@Reiko_ctu at least it’s over quickly though! Maybe another swift one then?

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@Suggerhoney still can’t believe baby boy is here safe, sound and healthy!!! Yay Mumma!

feels so much more exciting for us ladies knowing this is coming for us all so soon!

@Catmumof4 how did today go??

So happy he is safely here and you're getting snuggles! It's kind of nice to have the done feeling although it may get forgotten in a year or so... sorry it was a rough induction. Likely your body just wasn't ready for labour but when it's better for them to be out you just have to do it.

 

[Reiko_ctu]

@Mummy2Corban yes the nice thing is once I feel transition I know it’ll be minutes before baby comes… well so far at least. We’ll see how this one goes - could be a different experience!

32 week bumpie. Feeling huge but I know I’ve got a bit more room to grow looking at my almost-40 weeks pics from baby 3! She was 7-6 at 39+6, so hoping even if this baby is big I can get her out a bit early and she won’t be much bigger than that!!

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@Reiko_ctu its just that unknown that I hate! Seeing as your babies have followed suit hopefully this one will too. You look amazing! One beautiful bump. I think you forget just how big a bump can get.

@Suggerhoney I commented on the September thread but my biggest congratulations again! Gourgeous pics

Those who were saying about the 6 weeks holiday at the time it felt sooo long but looking back and it seems to have flown LMAO how does that work?

@Reiko_ctu what a gourgeous bump congrats for 32 weeks yesterday!

@Mummy2Corban wahooo 36 weeks babe 1 week to full term!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!! And as usual you didn't forget about me
SO as for me I had consultant appointment today which was super eventful!! I totally broke down because of the issues iv been having (sod, fibro, pain induced incontinence, swelling, itching mental health and so much more) I just can't do anymore, my daughter asked if I didn't love her because I couldn't walk her in for her first day back and it just broke me. Well she called for mental health specialist (kim) who iv had a great relationship with and just opened up about everything. They are sending a special request through to the main mental health team and when they get the reply will be scheduling me in for next week!!!! It's open atm as to wether they want me to have the elective section I wanted or if they want me to have a mechanical induction. I just said whichever way just get the baby out safe. Only downside is I didn't get a answer today and have to wait for a phone call which will send me doolally lol!!! Sorry for the long post! X

36 week bump

 

[topazicatzbet]

@Mummy2Corban lovely bump and live the cat in the bath. Lol.

@Catmumof4 I hope they get things sorted for you ASAP.

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@Catmumof4 well definitely an eventful appointment. I’m glad you got your point across and I’m glad they’ve taken you seriously! Must be a proper struggle for you right now. Bit frustrating you haven’t heard anything back but I guess they’ve a few messages to pass on that it may take a little while. As if it could happen next week!!!!!!!!!!! Oh my!!! Baby no.2 maybe here next week!!!!! Hopefully they still agree with your planned section. Are you ok with an induction if that’s what they offer?

 

[Mummy2Corban]

@topazicatzbet haha! He always follows me in the bathroom as he wants me to turn the tap on for him!

 

[Reiko_ctu]

@Mummy2Corban love that 36 week bump! Looks just the right size for a lovely sized bub!!

24 days till October and then the babies will just start one after the other! @Catmumof4 you'll have to get us through the rest of September till then by having yours!!

 

[daniyaaq]

eeek only 24 days. I need to start ordering baby bits

 

[Reiko_ctu]

eeek only 24 days. I need to start ordering baby bits

What are you needing?

I’ve washed and sorted all my newborn and 0-3 month clothes and given some to the thrift store/my sister because I can’t believe how much I had. Absolutely silly. Got paci’s and a baby bouncer, so just need swaddles and burp cloths still. I can’t decide whether to get a few nice ones or ask my friends to borrow theirs since it’s last baby!

has anyone seen those zip up swaddles that have the baby arms up? I’m interested in one of those. I never swaddle my babies for long though, only a few weeks.
