Emz - What a lovely story, I am now in tears at my desk! So glad the birth wasn't as you thought it would be and your midwives both sound amazing! Can't wait to see some pictures of your daughter!

Sorry I've been a little AWOL I got unsubcribed from the thread and couldn't find you ladies I am back now though.

Almost - hope it goes well x

Almost that's great news. Keep us updated x

Thank you ladies. I'm feeling great. Not like I've had a baby at all. Although the after pains are worst this time round! Very strong.

We have now named the baby. Her name is River Willow Chandler. She is doing great. Not had chance to get on laptop yet but will get a pic on soon.

Yes our hospital give you the option of paying for a private room. We did it last time as I was a new mum, nervous and didn't really want a curtain around me in a cubicle all night lol It was so lovely so when I had to go in this time I definitely wanted my own room again. Tv, en suite shower and toilet. Lovely. It cost £135 a night in my hospital. It is expensive but so worth it. Could hear so many babies crying on the wards in the distance but I closed my door and went to sleep lol x

 

[Soniamillie01]

What a beautiful name! x

 

[MissBroody]

gorgeous name! and yes after-pains this time round were horrendous for me too was like being in labour for another 24 hours and was close to tears!

Almost that's fantastic

Xx

 

[almosthere]

I third-beautiful name!!!!

 

[Jembug]

I love the name!!!
Eeek after pains, mine will be third time round! Thet made me want to vomit, lol
First time round I don't remember having them!
One more day to go Almost xx

 

[almosthere]

aahhh!! I know, I am starting to get very excited-still bummed we can't start until being on bcps, but that is just how it works. And bcps just mean getting closer to my bfp, I am super happy to get this opportunity so soon since we need the assistance and am very excited to start this new journey with dh!

I also hope you are all doing well-mommies, babies, and mommies to be (although I consider all pregnant ladies mommies!! =) !!!)

Gret news about tomorrow Almost. I can´t believe how quick things are moving for you. I always had the idea that IVF was a really long process but maybe that´s just over here. I´m so pleased for you that over there it doesn´t seem to be like that.

Emz, that´s a lovely name. How do you think your grandma (I think you said it was her who had problems with Kai) will take to it with it not being a traditional name?! Looking forward to seeing some photos of the little River Willow!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Almost - how was the appointment?


Any uk ladies see the new midwives series on BBC2 from last night? I've just watched it on I player and am a little emotional! Also started to panic a little a labour - ekk! Positive thoughts, all will be fine!

For those outside uk, it's a reality documentary on a maternity ward / delivery suite. You'll probably get it on BBC iPlayer if you google it - definitely worth a watch!

I'm also starting to feel very unprepared. A friend was like have you got x y z and a b c I was like no! And also don't feel like I've read enough etc. any thoughts?

Sonia, do NOT freak out about not having EVERYTHING imaginable for the baby. People tend to forget that once the baby is born you can still go out and get things you need! You can be as prepared as can be before baby comes, but once it's actually here and you start getting to know the baby, you'll discover more things you need that you never thought of. And then you'll never use 1/2 the crap you bought beforehand that everyone told you you MUST have. So please don't stress!! As long as the baby has a place to sleep, diapers and it's mommy, you're covered!

AFM, I signed up for hypnobirthing classes and I'm so excited! It just takes a really calm approach to labor and delivery, which is what I want. I was pretty calm when I had my daughter, but not as calm as I would like to be this time.

I've also been feeling a TON of little baby kicks the past few days! Which is really good for me..it's helping me feel more connected and excited about this pregnancy instead of scared out of my mind. Such a great feeling!!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Thanks so much presh, I know I'm fine and have ages to get stuff. Just think that maybe as I'm also not showing, at all, and don't feel pregnant (which I'm not complaining about as sickness has gone) it still doesn't feel real, real. Does that make sense? I feel so bad to say that but think that's also contributing to it.

I'm going to make a list this weekend of 'essentials' which I think will help and also read up some more from my what to expect book. I do refer to it all the time but going to have a good read.

Ah little kicks must be amazing. I don't think my flutters were flutters as not felt anymore and that was about a week or so ago now. I hope they come soon. Baby hr is nice and strong on Doppler and has started to move to different positions, normally right hand side but has been far left and centre last two nights. X

I know exactly what you mean about it not feeling real. It's so hard to comprehend that there's actually a tiny person that you made growing inside of you. We all feel that way! Once you start really feeling it, and definitely when you can see it moving, it will feel more real. And as you get closer to the end it will really hit home that you need to prepare for baby. But at this point, I say relax. You don't even know the sex yet, so when you do find out you can start planning the nursery and doing the fun stuff, then you can figure out what you really need.

Sonia, is this the BBC show you were talking about?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01b2w7d

 

[Soniamillie01]

No it's this one https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00wpcyv
It's a bit like one born every minute x

 

[PreshFest]

ugh. you have to be in the UK in order to watch it on iPlayer! LAME!

 

[Soniamillie01]

That's pants! What about YouTube?

 

[almosthere]

eee presh kicks-how amazing!!!

sonia I agree with everything presh said-you will have plenty of time to get things in order!

afm..... was told I was good to go for ivf and had a very productive, informative FS apt-inter-vaginal US, bloodwork for me, and some for dh, signed all papers to start the process for IVF which also needs ICSI used... :/ ...but then comes the big bummer.....found out right after I took my 1st bcp for ivf that I need a uterine cavity evaluation before I can be approved by insurance for ivf and this may take long enough to cancel out my first cycle...ughh. I am really disappointed, but it is not cancelled until unless my appt. results take too long to be sent over to my insurance...

I am supposed to start lupron aug 13th so everything needs to get figured out before then for this cycle to be covered or else we cannot afford it until next month :/....Sooo....FX I can get in this thurs or friday and confirm things are all clear and good to go by sometime next week or else I will be heart broken!!

 

[PreshFest]

'That's pants' is officially my new favorite phrase.....
