1-2 DPO time to TWW 31.10.2022

Hi @MillieKitty
how are you and baby getting on, happy 12 weeks!
baby is nine weeks tomorrow - I feel like we’re getting a bit more settled now and the colic phase is coming to an end.

How's everyone doing?

Baby is 12 weeks old today, how time flies

@PPop i am exhausted! Just hit the 8 week sleep regression. He woke every 60-80 minutes for a 20minute feed overnight and is refusing to nap during the day unless on the move in his pram/sling... it's a lot! But wouldn't change it for the world

I get what you mean about the tummy. My figure has definitely changed. My hips are so much wider and my rib cage /chest too. Just take some getting use to I guess

@Fingerscrossed2023 sadly not, I haven't heard from her still. I do so wish she has a baby even though I fear things won't be the same again.

How is everyone finding motherhood?

And more so how are you finding your body after carrying the little ones? I am finding my tummy odd to look at currently 😂

@Fingerscrossed2023 aw it's definitely very surreal reading it back! Congratulations @PPop and @Wrenegade ! I love how we all have had girls 😂

Hi team, have just read through this whole thread today. Was so cool to see the TTC and then the BFP now to you with your babies! So lovely. @PPop did your sister ever get pregnant?

@PPop congratulations on your baby girl, hope everything went smoothly for you and you get more sleep soon 💕

@MillieKitty wow! Time really has flown. How are you getting on? Our baby girl arrived two weeks ago on the 17th August and has already gained a pound and almost out of her new born clothes 🥹

Baby girl was born on Tuesday 27/08 I'm besotted and sleep deprived from staring at her 😂

Hope everyone is doing well! It's madness that we all went through this together!!

How are you all getting on? Has there been any new arrivals? 👶🏻

Baby girl is five weeks old now! Time really does fly

Congratulations @ScaredSally and @MillieKitty ! Hope you're both recovering well.

Sorry that they've changed the goalposts for you @PPop, I think I'd feel pretty frustrated too to have the plan changed at this point. I think my last midwife appointment said they would offer induction from 38 weeks here (which seems to be massively jumping the gun to me, if there's no apparent reason for an induction??), but I think different trusts will vary.

I think we're quite close in due dates @Wrenegade, hope you're doing well. It's such a strange time waiting and not knowing if it will be today or in another month potentially.

I'm 37 +1 today and definitely hoping to go full term as I still feel less prepared than I wanted to be by now, and also feeling grateful that I'm not feeling too uncomfortable and have had a pretty easy pregnancy after the first 18 weeks or so. It feels so strange knowing that life will change forever in such a short space of time - I'm trying to enjoy this last bit as much as possible, but one more week of work to go.

Thank you! We had been on the 37 week track until yesterday and it threw me into such a tailspin! I've been massively anxious and trying to just move along with it. Went shopping today, dented my car and struggling to waddle around so I'm living the dream 😂

When do they offer intervention to you if you haven't gone into spontaneous labour?

Yes I do miss having a cocktail, mocktails just don't hit the same!

@PPop what?! I have so much empathy for you, I think I’d feel a bit emotional having a date in mind and then it being pushed back. I’m awaiting spontaneous labour and not knowing if it will be this evening or in four weeks is tough.

So strange isn’t it. I can’t remember not being pregnant most days but then I also can’t believe how close we all are to having our bubs.

Well I got given a date yesterday and the consultant was mean!!! I have got 7 weeks left as they changed from 37 week plan and decided to go to nearly my due date instead 😩 stress stress!!

So exciting that the babies are starting to appear, it feels like just yesterday we were all doing the tests - well sometimes other days isn't pregnancy so long?! 😂

@MillieKitty congrats!!! And don't worry the stitches aren't sore for long... my little man got stuck and had to have an episiotomy to get him out and the stiches healed in no times, the awkward itchy phase of healing was the worst, can't be itching there out for a walk! Haha

@MillieKitty sorry to hear that you’ve had to stay in and have stitches. Have they given you anything to help with the soreness? Sounds like you’ve done a super job and that you’re being looked after. How is baby doing?

EDD is in 19 days so I wonder how long it will be.

@PPop have you been given a date yet?

@PPop thank you! I'm just very sore below, had to have a few stitches 😷 hopefully your friend has a smoother birth than I did! How much longer to go for you?

@Wrenegade can't be long for you now!!

Awww @MillieKitty congratulations! Lovely news! How are you feeling today? My friend is getting induced today which is exciting for her!

@Wrenegade thank you! It still feels surreal, got to stay in hosp whilst they do extra checks as birth was long and baby got a bit distressed. Sending you lots of luck for a healthy birth!

@MillieKitty A huge congratulations! I can’t believe how little time it feels between us testing and your baby being here.

I hope that you’re all doing well and you’re enjoying every moment with your precious girl 🥰

Gave birth to a little girl today at 2pm!

Woohoo!! This is exciting news!

Thank you! My waters actually broke last night and contractions strong so shouldn't need induction now!

Good luck today!!! Hope you go into labour quickly!

@PPop nope so once you're induced you're stuck in hospital until baby comes!

I don't know how inducing works! From
OBEM it looks like they put something up there? Do you go home after?
