Hi ladies
I know ive been away for a long time now and im sorry for that- soooo much has been going on its hard to imagine how much has changed and happened in the last 8weeks of my life. If anyone had told me and my DH what would be going on and changing in these past weeks all at once we'd have said thats crazy - and its been just that. But we have made it through and we both couldnt be happier.

Well you busy ladies its taken me ages to properly catch up and read whats been going on with you all...

I have to say the BIGGEST AND MOST MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! to Lou, Cheryl and Manny on the births of your gorgeous little boys, and I cant wait for the rest of you lovely ladies to get to meet your little bundles and have little squishy cuddles of your own.

Also many congrats to those of you who have got your BFP's recently and are now expecting your rainbow babies.... I hope your pregnancies are all going well and you are looking after yourselves and managing to enjoy being pregnant.

So to make this nice and short i'll save the birth story and details unless anyone wants to know what happened.

As many of you might remember I was very much team yellow and my EDD was the 30th March.....
I was lucky enough to have the best midwife a woman could ask for and she was fantastic and now a very good friend of ours. The last weeks of my pregnancy went fine - only a few little hiccups but nothing serious considering everything we were dealing with my GP was considering making me bed bound to stop me doing too much while we were sorting things out.

So I went 12 days overdue but from that day I became officially TEAM PINK!!!!!!!

I had the most gorgeous little girl after a short but intense labour - 100% healthy and the biggest smiler right from the start and we are loving this new life with her - she is amazing!!!!

I cant believe I DID IT!!!!!!! I'm a mummy to the most perfect little one.....my DH is besotted and we are loving watching her learn new things and interact with us more and more each day.

Sending some of my very happy vibes to you all, xxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[bagpuss19]

Aw pop tart that's so lovely to hear enjoy every minute xx

 

[SATH]

Great update pop you sound soooo happy. Truly blessed.

Ah lau i saw your name and thought here we go bubs has arrived. Do they hav a plan set up for you?

 

[Laubull]

Poptart, yeaaaaa so nice to hear from you! A massive congratulations on the birth of your daughter Yes please to the birth story, I'd love to hear!!

Sath, if only!! I've got another sweep next Tuesday if baby doesn't appear, we'll start discussing a plan.....I assume they'd offer me another sweep later that week and if that doesn't help then I'll be induced. Obviously I don't want any of that, I'd love to go into labour ASAP! Yoga tonight so hoping I can give baby a nudge in the right direction! X

 

[thethomsons]

Pop tart great to hear from you and congrats on your lovely pink bundle!!!

 

[twinkle_paws]

Ah Poptart, great to hear from you! Congratulations on the birth of your daughter, you're a mummy!! What did you call your little girl? xx

 

[mommylov]

Just wanted to write a quick note and say betas came back at 777!!! one more beta on Monday and then scan on tues! Fx!!!

 

[PopTart28]

Thanks ladies - im loving mummyhood and cant wait for you all to experience this for yourselves - its truly AMAZING!

Laubal ill upload my birth story soon as its quite different to Lou and Cheryls - cant wait to hear how Manny got on - Manny I hope you are loving your babymoon with your wee little man oh and when they tell you to just rest and enjoy - it really is the best thing you can do after birth. Oh and drink plenty of fluids and eat well are also lifesavers while you are recovering

Twinkle we have called our gorgeous girl Ruby Madeline
She is the most happy and content little girl and getting more and more incredible everyday. I'll also upload a picture for you all soon too.

Hope you all you lovely ladies are well and looking after yourselves, I'm really looking forward to more birth news and stories as some of you are getting very close now - how exciting......enjoy every minute of the last weeks you are pregnant as they are precious and even tho all you want is to meet and hold your little one you will treasure those weeks and days forever

Right little miss is having a nap so time to unpack some more boxes - its a cross between the tv game show the crystal maze and christmas going through the boxes! You have to find the box in the right room and then its great fun getting all the bits unpacked from each - soooo much better than the massive game of tetris it is to bliming well pack the stuff up ;-)

Mommy - on great bettas - I won't be here Tuesday - I'm going away for a few days (spain) so I wish you lots of luck at your scan and look forward to an exciting update when I come back

Poptart - What an absolutely gorgeous name - I look forward to seeing pictures of her soon

Laubull - Your baby is nice and snuggled in there - how many days over will you be? - I was allowed 14 but that was with my second son

Bagpuss - When are you booking your scan - I think after a loss you are more "loopy" as the innocence has been taken away

I have my scan tomorrow and I'm slightly nervous as I started spotting on Wednesday luckily it seems to have cleared up - I still feel pregnant but I also know the dark side

[mommylov]

Poptart, congrats on your little girl! Love the name too!

Garfie, spotting can be normal so try not to freak out just yet hun. I know easier said than done because like you said we know the dark side too. I hope that tomorrows scan will bring some relief. Im praying this is your sticky bun and sending you lots of sticky . Stick lo, STICK!!

:wave: to everyone and hope you all are doing well!

AFM~ I was so happy to see my results and hear my dr tell me that they are good! I still dont have major symptoms or anything. Getting a little more tired and a little insomnia and some breast tenderness but its all just slight. Dull cramps come and go which is reassuring. SOMETIMES, Im like "Wait, was that cramp in my ueterus or somewhere else?" and then I freak myself out so Im just trying not to pauy attention. heheh Been texting with my dr because I called to make an appt for tues and they told me she was booked. I text her and told her and she told me she was going to take a look. She wanted me to meet with her after the US so Ill see if thats still going to happen tues. One more beta scheduled for mon so as always keeping my fx for that!

 

[bagpuss19]

Actually got my scan tonight they had a free appt do I just grabbed it will update later xx

 

[Lou15]

Congratulations Poptart, our first team pink of the thread! Delighted that you are enjoying Motherhood so much xx

Great results Mommylov! Sounds like you have a lovely Dr too xxx

Good luck with the scan Bagpuss, keep us posted.

Laubull, thinking of you! I remember how sad I was when they couldn't do a sweep for me- so disheartening- but your wee one will be here really soon, it just feels like forever at the moment because you are so desperate to meet him/ her!

Garfie, have a lovely, relaxing time in Spain- I'm convinced my early pregnancy holiday helped Matthew to stick!

AFM, poor Matthew had been doing some spectacularly large vomits (literally drenching me and him) and now fussy and uncomfortable when feeding- am concerned about poss reflux, or maybe that I am lactating a bit too much now as the milk literally seems to pour out of me. Phoned Drs for advice as to whether he needed to be seen and spoke to a grumpy Dr who said 'well, it's not really urgent but I suppose we'll have to see him since he's such a young baby!' Nice! But, fortunately she has booked me in with my own Dr tomorrow who is lovely and hopefully won't make me feel as uncomfortable as she did. Really hope it gets sorted out soon as Matthew is such a contented wee soul normally so I just feel he must genuinely not be feeling well to be getting so upset with feeds and it's awful to see him like that.

Love to everyone xxx

 

[mommylov]

Bagpuss, good luck with the scan!!!

Lou, Im sorry to hear about Matthew vomiting. I hope that the dr is able to figure out how to make you both confortable and happy.

 

[bagpuss19]

Scan fine I'm just a fruit loop! I hadn't really registered that they don't measure the legs in a scan so baby is actually 24 cm wow so big!!!

My wee boy had reflux at the beginning and I found it very stressful had to take a change of clothes for me and him everywhere but it only lasted a few months and he grew out of it. We tried various things like milk thickeners and gaviscon but they made little difference so we just rode it out in the end! HTH xxx
