I'm only a stalker and I even noticed how quiet this thread is! (Although, I think that is a good thing!)
Hope how many weeks until your hospital stay?
Tasha how are you feeling? Getting closer, eh?
Hope things are okay with DSemcho :-/
Hope everyone else is feeling PARLnoia free!
I would just like to add a little update to this thread. As I feel being apart of this thread got me through the worst days of PARL and ultimately led me to motherhood. I feel my history of loss has given me a sense of appreciation for motherhood that I don't think I would have had if the circumstances would have been different. My rainbow baby filled a hole in my heart that pregnancy loss had left and I will never be the same. I have decided to leave my career of science and vaccine research behind for now and focus on my daughter (and hopefully future rainbow babies!) and to begin helping other new mothers with pregnancy loss, infertility, breastfeeding, postpartum, and to overall encourage them to follow their instincts. It has become a true passion. I Just want to say thank you to all of the women who helped me get here!! And I'm excited for this next chapter my life holds!!

Newly my plan was to go in hospital in another 5w time but my consultant still has broken fingers so I've not met her to discuss and finalise it 
I think I need to discuss with the Fetal med consultant that has been scanning me

Newly: Also a stalker on this thread - love to see all these ladies coming along in their pregnancies. Very exciting!
Newly - I have also decided to go into this 'field' as a career. I haven't gone back to work yet as I didn't quite understand how strong this whole motherhood thing would be for me! I LOVE 99% of it, and can't imagine leaving my girls side. I will start a certificate program to become a breastfeeding counselor this summer, and hopefully will be able to help other new moms in the future! I am also making slings and have been selling them like hot cakes! I love meeting expectant mothers, hearing their stories and offering them help or just an ear
I hope hope all is well and you are successful in your new path!!

Ahhh it's lovely to hear how happy you both are and the passion it has started in you both.
Newly, yes not long to go now. Six and a half weeks until EDD so about three and a half weeks until induction. Am I the next one in here now?

Viet- I feel we are in very similar boats And I love my Ring Sling and am also a Tula lover! Are you still in.... Turkey was it? I feel like it was somewhere that started with a T... ? Could be completely wrong tho! ha... I would love love love to become a certified Lactation Consultant but in the States it actually requires a lot of money and time (around 3-5k, coursework and 500+ hours of mentoring!)... most start out at as registered nurses and become specialized in the field so as someone without a medical background, it's a big feat. I'm going to start out by volunteering at the local La Lech League and local Breastfeeding Resource Center and see where that leads me- the LC's I've talked to said that's a great way to start this journey without having a medical background. I am apart of the Normalize Breastfeeding Organization and the Milky Way Foundation (Breastfeeding Awareness) also started a blog that's actually been gaining a lot of popularity! So we will see where this journey takes me. I love that 99%! haha So true.
SO happy to see you guys doing well Tasha and Hope! Tasha- how has LO's growth been?

Sounds like lots of exciting plans newly. I had a quick nose at your blog yesterday, it's very good.
It's been fine, good in fact. Weight was slightly above 50th for last few weeks, last week scan was below the 50th (33rd), scan next week so we shall see what that holds

Hope - that's great , glad you are nearly at v day. Pregnancy brain makes me forget everything at the moment, hence the late asking.
Tasha - 3 and half weeks, that's exciting, I think you are next. Really glad everything is going well with LO's growth.
Newly/vietmamsie - glad you are enjoying your rainbows

Can't believe how close you are Tasha! And Hope too!
Also in stalking mode. Twins are 6 weeks old and I'm weepy all the time when I see how they don't look like newborns anymore. I'm addicted to pregnancy! I want more even though I know it's completely impractical and financially ridiculous. Oh, and I'm 41. I guess I'll get over it eventually, but I feel like I've spent so many years thinking only about babies that I don't know how to turn it off! I still haven't been able to box up my maternity clothes even though I was looking forward to doing that straight away. Is there a support group for people addicted to pregnancy!
Hope everyone is well---it's been so quiet!

Mowat- I think those feelings are feelings of knowing the twins were your last babies. I think mourning your child bearing years being "over" in a sense is actually really common! I've seen lots of posts/blog posts about it. Cherish those babies!!! Can't believe it's been 6 weeks already!

congrats on a girl blue!
hope - vday coming so soon, soooo happy for you
you too Tasha! it's going by so fast
mowat - I know the feeling! I loved being pregs and miss it a lot but if I had different circumstances with a lot of things I would love to have more. it is sad when you only get to do it once but at least we got 2 out of the deal which to me is a fking miracle of miracles. I turn 40 in sept and remember crying SOOOO much when I turned 35 and still no kids (I got pregs with them little over a month after turning 36).

Hello ladies,
My EDD is September 7th.
I'm glad the new moms are enjoying their babies so much. I'm so excited to see how that feels.
Tasha, you're soooo close!!
loeylo, I'm glad all was well at your scan. Did you talk to your doctor about what the loss of vision and numbness is about? That is scary. Hope you're doing better.

Thank you blue. How are you?
Mowat, huge hugs. I've read so much on here over the years and definetly a normal emotion to have. I've had similar feelings already, trying to not wish time away as its our last pregnancy.
Hope, I can't even remember that many so you did well to remember them
Loey, def see a doctor. Glad the scan went well.
Ummi, nice to hear from you. I'm okay, well physically I'm good. I've never got this far without pre-eclampsia either so it's amazing but emotionally I find it tough at times. How are you doing?
Ab nice to hear from you too. How are you?
And you hopeful I miss all you girls, it's nice to see you all and I'm sure you give lots of us hope. It is going so fast and yet dragging too 
Monday I'll be able to say I'm having a baby this month 
Mrs R, how are you?
My EDD is 12th July xx
