2ww for us and our Surrogate

HopeNovember2017 · 17/05/2018 15:41

Hi Ladies,

Anyone else bitten all their nails down during 2ww? We are 3dpt5dt (my sister is being our host surrogate - shes amazing I know Halo ) and im going through waves of optimism and despair! Shes much more laid back than me and Im finding it harder to distract myself even though Im not the one physically experiencing anything! Sad Our beta is 25th May but atm I feel like its impossible to make it until then!!!!! Would love to hear some positive stories!!

My background:

Me: 27 with MRKH
DH: 54 (2 children from previous marriage)
Transferred a 5 day Blast

Wishing you all lots of luck!! :) xx

@MagicalCreatures lovely to hear from you!! Oh congratulations how exciting!! How are you feeling? He must be due right around Christmas!

Im feeling good, still very surreal but I honestly cant wait for him to be here now! My sister is getting tired as expected but she is doing well too! I am moving in with her for the last 2 weeks before he is due to help her out a bit more!

I will be in with her during the C-Section. The staff have been great tbh, they have even said I can help lift him out and that the midwife will take lots of pictures for us etc. :) x

@HopeNovember2017 I am so so happy I found your thread again!!!
So happy to hear it’s all going beautifully and that your having a little boy. He looks so perfect.
I’m having a little boy too, due in 3 weeks. We had a 4d Scan and it’s so incredible isn’t it.
I can’t believe your nearly at the finishing line after first reading your thread all that time ago.
How are you all feeling? And will you and DH be allowed in the room during the birth if your sister is having a c-section x

Morning SubtitlesOn!

Lovely to hear from you :)

We are all doing well! 29 weeks yesterday and everythings going good! Really can't believe it's less than 10 weeks now until little man is here! I've dropped down to 4 days a week now so I can help my sister out with housework and my nephew so it's been lovely to spend alot of time with her! I'm sure it's going to go so fast now with Christmas just round the corner!

Hope you are all okay :) xx

Oh yes - we dont care what the baby is! It was just a huge surprise being told it was a girl at 19 weeks and less than 3 weeks later being told a boy! My sister has also opted for an elected C - section so that will done at 39 weeks! Cant believe how quickly is all happening!

Thank you for all your continued kind messages :) x
