1-2 DPO time to TWW 31.10.2022

Haha no to be fair, I hate spicy food and flavoured tea and tried sex but felt too sore, being induced tomorrow!

Haha oh dear! Have you tried all the teas, curry, and of course how it began? 😂

Well @PPop you'll probably be having your baby before me at this rate 😂 41 weeks today, this baby doesn't want to come out

It's looking like I'll only be waiting about for 2 weeks as they have said they will c section at 37 weeks due to my BP and spinal issues 😊 so I took my annual leave 2 weeks before and my mat leave starts roughly when they take her out.

@PPop i couldn't wait around for 5 weeks! i worked until 39 weeks and waiting around almost 2 weeks drove me crazy!

@MillieKitty I did all the tricks! Drank raspberry tea for months, 4 mile walks every day from 39 weeks, sex, spicey food, had a sweep at 40weeks exactly and still didn't go into labor until
40+5! He was stubborn and came when hr was good and ready haha

@PPop yeah I feel like my baby is squashed in there! They have a lot of quiet time but enough activity so I know they're okay, I have a sweep on Wednesday if I haven't gone into labour so I will probably panic and try all the tricks 😂

Try raspberry tea and a curry... I mean the Mr can put the effort in to the sex on these occasions 😂
Yes I feel 35 weeks is even too long, it's wanting to spend time with them more when they come out isn't it!

How are the movements further along I found since 28 weeks they have just increased drastically! But I guess at some point room will be difficult for her!

@PPop I've been too tired to do things such as walking, ball bouncing, sex etc 😆 that's good you're finishing work around 35 weeks, I waited until 38 and it felt way too late

Ohhh so exciting that they are appearing now! You started trying to prompt labour yet with curries etc @MillieKitty?

I am 31 weeks tomorrow and struggling with lack of sleep and brain power 😂 still working I have less then 4 weeks left until maternity but just been put on blood thinner injections and struggling with those a smidge so we shall see how the next few weeks pan out! I just want the end now 😂

@MillieKitty thats exciting!! I was almost a week late and beginning to consider induction when I went into labor...the waiting around at the end is the hard work!

@ScaredSally amazing news, congratulations, thank you for letting us know 👶🏻

How's everyone doing? It's my due date Monday, struggling now!

@ScaredSally congratulations!!! What lovely news! I hope you are all doing well ❤️

@ScaredSally congratulations on your baby boy, what an impressive weight. Well done on cooking him so well. Hope you’re getting lots of rest and support and enjoying your new horn bubble 🥰

It's been a while but my little man was born 6th July weighing an impressive 8lb 13! The newborn phase is tough but so magical! Hope your all well! X

@Wrenegade I feel totally ready for the c section in theory then I get spooked by how it's going to make me feel, I'm nervous of the pushing/pulling as that seems to be what people dislike and having my spine injected just as I know that that his historically been an issue since fracturing my back! I worried about the catheter for ages but I guess I won't know my vagina is flapping in the breeze so it'll be okay once the block kicks in 😂

I just want her to get to the 37 weeks, safely and healthily and meet her. I imagine we all thing that though!

Oh @ScaredSally and @MillieKitty you guys are SO CLOSE! I'm excited for you!

@Wrenegade I've been sweating from places I didn't even know existed 😂

Sorry to hear about your fall! That must have been scary, so glad all is well afterward , bet you can't wait to finish work

@ScaredSally it must be lovely to see him in a scan so often. Whilst of course I don’t want a reason to need a scan it would be great to see her again. You’re an absolute warrior to keep going and be there for your year 11’s! I hope you’re getting lots of support and rest in between.

@MillieKitty not very well at all today, I don’t know what to do with myself! How are you?

Eek I'm 35 weeks now! How is everyone coping in the heat? It is killing me! 🥵

2 weeks 4 days left for me! .... and my last 2 weeks of work (if I make it that far) determined to see my year 11 class through to their last exam! Been getting scanned every 2 weeks during the third trimester and it's been great to see him grow each time but I definitely just want him here now... can't wait to meet him!

@PPop I’m glad that it is all under control and you are being monitored. Are you feeling ready for the c section? We’re in the middle of a hypnobirthing class and about to start NCT classes too. I’m feeling quite excited!

My mat leave starts on the 14th August but annual leave starts on the 24th July ☺️. I am struggling with the heat, I’m finding it hard to sleep and feel more irritated. The chill blankets sound ideal tho! Baby has had a very regular pattern since 17 weeks, always the most active in the evening but rolls through out the day. She is also very responsive to the bump being touched and usually responds. How have you found movements? I did have a fall at work at 26 weeks and she stopped moving for a few hours but the labour ward monitored her and all was well thankfully.

It was a bit scary @Wrenegade but I have blood pressure issues anyway it's controlled now on meds but it has meant any considering I might have done of a natural labour just went clean out the window 😂 but I was prepping for a c section anyway so it's fine.
Going off on annual leave from 14th august then my maternity starts the 28th so that isn't too long, I feel like I'm counting the days whilst I'm trying to stay awake these days as with the heat sleep has gone! I might just have to try the dogs chill blankets on me see if they cool me down!
How have you found movements? You will have a steady pattern now? Are you finding it easy to track?

How are you feeling, the blood pressure issue sounds like it might have been quite scary? Not very long for you to go! In fact if my baby stays put yours may arrive first.
I am 31 weeks now and also hated the first and second trimesters, I felt so ill and tired. I have another six weeks. Planning to go on mat leave the day before due date but on annual leave from week 37. How about you?

I am 26 weeks today got 11 weeks to go as I had a bit of a blood pressure issue and they then said 37 weeks for c section to get her out!
When do you go on maternity leave? I haven't loved being pregnant so far so I'm hoping the third trimester I'll have a sudden glow up 😂
How are you coping in the heat?

@PPop hello! No baby here yet, 9 weeks/56 days till due date. I’m really enjoying the third trimester. Baby is growing big now and we can’t wait to meet her. How are you?

Hello! How is everyone doing? Any babies yet?
