September 2021 due date babies!!!

[Neversayno]

@Suggerhoney congratualtions honey he is just beautiful! What a lovely weight. I hope the after pains have subsided and you are able to get some rest.

out of all the pregnancies I think yours has been the most challenging for you and you’ve been absolutely amazing! I’m so glad the outcome was as hoped and baby is super healthy.

can’t wait to read birth story, I still haven’t been able to write mine; I’m still traumatised by the whole thing!

 

[Neversayno]

A week old in a mere few hours….how???

She’s so squishy!

 

[LoneWanderer]

Yep surely you next Zo, then Cat very soon too... eeeek so exciting all these babies

 

[Suggerhoney]

Thank you so much ladies.
@Zoboe95 hopefully u next hon.
@Neversayno that's how I feel traumatised by the whole thing lol. So glad it's over and he's here safe. Definitely put me off having anymore. Was just awful.
He is worth it all tho.
We may be able to go home much earlier than planned.
I really hope so because I'm hear on my own and even tho I'm in pain I've had to get up and get on with it.
DH visits for 1 hour a day but its hard not having his help.
Will be better at home.

Sorry girls really need to catch up soon my husband was taken to hospital with kidney stones not long after we got home taking in an ambulance then flown to mainland only got home on Saturday and he can’t really do anything so I’ve been doing it all myself

 

[Neversayno]

@Suggerhoney hes so beautiful I LOVE the stripes!!!

hope you get to go home soon; sorry to hear you had such an awful time too! They are so worth it but a week on I still feel pretty affected by the whole thing lol maybe when I’m healed I will feel even better about it all!

Very painful labour and epidural didn't numb me down there so felt everything.
I will do a birth story when I feel a bit better and not so shaky and sore.
He was only 7lb 3oz looks so teeny and cute.View attachment 1101889

Huge congratulations hun! Omg he is so beautiful!!!

 

[Zoboe95]

@wantingagirl such bad timing! I hope he is feeling better soon!

@Suggerhoney so sorry you had a bad experience, worth it for that beautiful little one though! I hope you get to go home very soon!

And me ...I'm just sat here being impatient, thinking every little niggle could be a sign of something! Everyone told me this the she will be small and early, I should have known she would keep me waiting! I know 37+5 is still early, but it doesn't feel it!

 

[atx614]

@wantingagirl im so sorry! Yes horrible timing right when y’all got home. I hope he heals quickly.

@Suggerhoney he can only come one hour a day!? That sucks. I hope you can get home quickly too. Yes much easier with help.

@Zoboe95 i bet you’ll go soon! If you don’t go into labor on your own do you have an induction date?

Just got back from my growth scan and She's about 6 pounds, 3 oz right now. Head down which is good. But turned a bit sideways and looking up, which isn't ideal so hopefully she turns to face by back. Her head and legs are measuring a bit a head and her stomach is measuring a bit small. If she keeps growing at this rate she will be 7.5-8 pounds at birth which is good. Just have to make sure her stomach is growing to make sure she is getting the nutrients and my placenta isn't crapping out like it did at the end with my DD. I had to be induced early with her because I’d IUGR cause her stomach wasn’t growing so they will keep an extra eye on this one!

 

[Zoboe95]

@atx614 no induction date, they're pretty certain I will go naturally, and to be fair my midwife is pretty useless anyway! I do feel weird this afternoon, but I pushed a grumpy toddler round a shopping centre in her buggy this afternoon, so it could just be that! Only went because I knew it's air conditioned there, and said toddler is really grumpy when it's hot the things we do for our kids

 

[atx614]

@Zoboe95 I hope you so go early on your own! How far along were you when you had your first? Looks like you or @Catmumof4 will be next depending on the date they give her! Then I’ll be bringing up the rear lol. Is there anyone after me?

We moved my older two kids’ seats around in our van today so baby will be right behind me and easy to get in and out. My oldest is in the back third row now. So we will see how she feels about that when we pick her up from school lol. Crib is all set up now and have the swing and bouncer out. Feel all ready except need to pack my bag still. Not sure why I keep putting it off.

 

[Catmumof4]

@atx614 thanks hun I hope they do contact me I got a call this morning and they want me to go to a meeting which I'm anxious about on Thurs bleurgh, very much looking forward to it being over!!

@Zoboe95 things we do for the kids Lol!! Hope your able to rest up!!

@wantingagirl I'm so sorry your partner was taken that must have been so so awful for you!! Glad he's back now even if he can't do too much xx

 

[Zoboe95]

@atx614 I was 37+4 when I had no 1, and I'm 37+5 today, so I think that's why I'm getting impatient

 

[atx614]

I feel you! You are mentally done! My daughter was 38 weeks (induced not naturally), and even though she was induced mentally i was done with my son at 38 weeks. BUT he decides to come at 42 weeks lol. So I totally get being done. It’s super annoying when your mind is done but your body isn’t

 

[Catmumof4]

Mother nature messed up making it so long

 

[Zoboe95]

Debating going for a wander somewhere today to see if helps get things moving a little. Trouble is I have this fear of my waters going in a public place I have been popping a pad on before I go out, to try to catch some of it if it does, but they're making me really sore now! Cant win!

 

[LoneWanderer]

Two bloody weeks already, time is so weird! Drags so slow while you're waiting for the buggers to arrive, then flies past so fast once they get here!

Baby got a new bunny. Baby is not sure he likes it

 

[Zoboe95]

@LoneWanderer that is one shocked face!

 

[atx614]

@LoneWanderer haha love his surprises face!! I love when people take pictures of their baby next to their stuffed animals and then you can see how they grow!

@Zoboe95 not sure what the weather is like there but maybe an outside walk! Then if your waters go no clean up lol. I can’t walk with a pad on either, too much chafing. It’s too hot here for an outside walk. Was 100 yesterday, ugh. But also can’t go anywhere inside to walk as I’m not vaccinated. So I’ve been trying to walk early mornings to beat the heat.

 

[atx614]

I’ve been buying WAY too much on Amazon lol. I think cause I am bored and stuck at home. I am trying to be more productive and do things like cleaning and stuff but I can do like 30 mins and then am tired and go sit down. And then I am on my phone and somehow end up on Amazon lol
