TWW - Short(ish) LP

Oh wow hey ladies! I randomly think of you both sometimes but I completely lost this thread!
Aww so glad babies are doing well and oh my goodness potentially another on the way?! Haha

My little lady is now 15 months, she's been running since 9 months and she's size beyond her years(which doesnt always work in my favour 😂) but I also have a 7 year old son and I think for now I'm done 😬. But I'm only 29 so who knows how I'll feel by the time I'm 35! I actually really enjoy the big age gap between my kids too.

Wishing you both every luck and happiness 😊

Hello all 🙂 hope everyone and babies are all well?

My little one has just turned 1 and feeling so incredibly blessed, and a little emotional at how quickly time has gone. It got me thinking back to our ttc journey.

Anyone considering doing it all again? 🫣😬😂

@BB2818 oh I will! She will be my last so even these sleepless nights I can't help but stare at her in awe.

It did thank you, sweep on the 9th, lost mucus plug morning of the 10th, waters broke lunchtime. Went in with contractions about 6-7 mins apart around 4pm. Still 4cm at 7:30pm but less than two hours later she was born and got my birth pool experience like I wanted 😊. Was very intensely painful as it was so fast 🤣 but so glad she's here and we are both doing great! X

@Ttcmumma congratulations 💕👶🏼 wonderful news! Enjoy every minute- time really is a thief, it goes far too quickly.

I hope everything went smoothly and you and baby are happy and healthy xx

Baby girl is here! Born at 21:09 last night weighing 7lb 11 ounces. 40+2! Definitely later than my 38 week first born lol

Crazy and little bit emotional to think we have been chatting almost year and all of our babies are here/nearly here 🥰🥲

@Ttcmumma very excited for you! Hopefully little lady isn’t too comfortable in there 🙈. It’s crazy to think you will have a brand new person with you any day now 🥰.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the estimated weight. This little madam was estimated at 6lb 9oz on the Wednesday, born on the Saturday at 7lb 5oz. Older DC was estimated to be born at 5lb 7oz if I got to 40 weeks and was born 7lb 12oz at 37 weeks. SIL was supposed to have a 9lb plus baby and was induced just over 40 weeks and he was a 7lb 12oz too!

I hope so or just gone over due date? If my calculations are correct. Hope to hear soon @TTC12023

@BB2818 I'm due Monday and this little madam is chilling 🤦🏼‍♀️ she was estimated at 7lb 10 on Tuesday so she needs to hurry up and get out before I can't get her out 🤣. @TTC12023 was due before me so I have a feeling she's busy being a new mama hence the lack of reply!

@TTC12023 @Ttcmumma any baby news yet? 🫣🥰

@TTC12023 any sign of baby yet? I'm 38 weeks today, my son was born around this time. I'm so fed up and know she's going to have me waiting ages😅

@BB2818 yep! They're doing a growth scan on Monday at 36 weeks to see how she's doing. My son was 7lb at 38 weeks on the dot so I'm hoping she doesn't take too long as so far she seems to be developing much the same as him. She was estimated 4.3lbs at 32 weeks.

@TTC12023 oh you're so close! I wish I was finishing work 🤣. My belly has actually already begun to drop and my pelvis is very sore now but no one's checked if she's engaged just yet. Good luck without hubby this weekend! But definitely get those bags packed just in case. I have a baby shower on Sunday so im then going to grab all last minute bits next week at 36 weeks and wash all her bits. Packing bag and setting up her cot and putting her car seat in the car etc at 37 weeks. I won't be able to rest if I know I'm not ready to go at 37 weeks. Purely as my son broke my waters at 37+5 and I feel like my body is giving up quicker this time, it may evict her the second she hits full term 😅 or it will just have me struggling for weeks on end!

@TTC12023 a weekend of shopping for you 🙈. Then feet up and relax until bubba arrives 🥰

@Ttcmumma she needs at least another 2 weeks to cook. Make sure you get some rest before baby’s arrival. By the time we got home with little lady I was almost 4 days with very little sleep 😴

I don’t think anything worked this time. With older DC I had a sweep 3 days before. Bounced a lot. 2 nights before had a hot curry. Day before waters went I went on an 8 mile walk. Also craved pineapple through out could eat 2-3 pineapples a day 🫣🤣. Could have been all, one or non of the above 🤷🏼‍♀️

@BB2818 good thank you! Just so ready to not be pregnant 🤣 I'm 35+1 so could have a little while yet. Praying she comes around 38 weeks like her brother did. My pelvic and back hurts and she seems so low lol. My appetite is gone and I cannot stand meat 🤢.

Planning to have everything prepped, set up washed etc at 37 weeks and then doing everything I can safely do to naturally induce labour 🤣. Watch her make me wait till 41 weeks or something tho!

Just checking in. Hope you are both well? Anymore baby girls to add to the gang yet? So excited for you both 😃🥰

Thank you ladies. Sorry I haven’t replied. I don’t think we have had a week where we haven’t ended up back at the hospital 🙈. Fingers crossed we are done now, seen enough of that place!

@TTC12023 it seems to be a year for girls.

@Ttcmumma DC1 was born at 37+6. DC2 40 exactly. I thought DC2 would come well before due date but obviously not the case. Although there is nearly a 8 year gap, my body probably forgot I had done it all before.

Are you both ready? Can’t be long now until your little ladies are here too 💕

@TTC12023 if this one's 2 weeks early like my son we may be giving birth at the same time haha!

I've done this before but still lived with my mum so it feels abit first time again, as it's the first time it's just me and my partner, not my parents as adults in the house too lol. Trying to spread all the expensive costs out a bit too but almost done now. Baby shower in march so hopefully get some little bits then too.

Yeah don't worry about the weight! It's a good sign. With my son I went from scraping 7 stone to 10 stone at full term. Lost a stone by giving birth lol and lost the other 2 stone a month later!

My body is currently super confused by the weight, I'm naturally 7ish stone, but after my mmc last year my body shot up to just over 9 stone. I'm guessing a hormonal thing, I'm now 11 stone. I can feel how confused my body is haha but I just remind myself it means baby girl is growing and I'm providing enough for the both of us 😊.

Aww congratulations!! So happy for you 😊.

I'm glad your labour seemed smoother this time. Gives me hope after an awful induction with my son haha. How strange your waters were so strong tho!

I'm good thank you, 30 weeks now so getting everything bought and getting quite big haha. Can't wait to be at the stage you're at!
