TTC May 2023 💝 Previous MC March 2023 (thread 4)

Congratulations @SnookyPook I've been thinking of you today! What a gorgeous boy, enjoy those perfect snuggles ❤️

@SnookyPook o wow 🙂 he looks so chubby for that weight! Such a releif for you, well done for staying so strong throughout x
@Westy22 how did you get on today? Think after a day of eating and drinking they tend to.expand a far bit lol

Thanks everyone! He's here safe and sound! So in love 🥰 5lbs7oz which is officially 2nd centile! But he seems so strong and not as tiny as I'd feared! I'm doing well. Surgery was really positive and we've been very well looked after. 💙 We think we're going with Samuel Arthur but just feeling it out!!

Hope all has gone well today and you're enjoying cuddles with your little man @SnookyPook

@Supertrooper101 yeah the doula said they like to get things done quickly but if it's what you want then they have to respect that. Makes sense to delay though if its holding babys blood so it can push it through. I as fine with jab, arm was sore for about a day and that's it, I stopped worrying about it when I thought I'd been vaccinated for it as a baby anyway, have you decided what your going to do? X

Niece was tiny 😍 she was so chilled and barely cried lol they made it look quite easy 🤣 @Sez281

Sat waiting for my MW appointment, bump measuring day 😱 I took a pic of it this morning and compared to my evening pics it feels small now so I think I just massively bloat 🤣

Good luck today 💙💙💙 @SnookyPook I'm so excited for you xx

@Jadeypie you sound very care free on doing good 🙂
@Westy22 i can imagine the nhs being annoyed about the delayed clamping, they normally want to kick you else where as soon as possible all detached and good to.go lol theres so many positive things ive read about it though. Was you ok after your w.c jab?
@Sez281 did you end up going away this weekend. Was the weather ok?
@Paws4thought good tomhear from.you and that your still part of the little group 🙂
@SnookyPook well ! As if todays THE day....you so deserve this to go smoothly for you.. look.forward to your update 🙂

Thinking of you today @SnookyPook , hope you don’t have too much waiting around and cannot wait to hear your update!!

@SnookyPook Good luck for tomorrow!! It's come round so quickly.
I'm taking a bit of a step back from mn but still following along :) AF arrived Friday so onto the next cycle.
Hope everyone is doing OK :)

Morning,

Ahh I can't believe you meet your baby tomorrow 😍 @SnookyPook must feel so weird, best of luck and hope everything goes well! Can't wait for the update xx

@Supertrooper101 lol at the health visitor not being happy lol I felt really anxious about how unprepared I am yesterday, but hoping to get alot of things sorted in August/Sept. I had my doula class lol I actually really enjoyed it, only a small group all at different stages, OH came and I think he got alot out of it, come away discussing delayed cord clamping etc lol x

@Sez281 gutted about the holiday, definitely still wear all those holiday bits ha the weather is definitely being super weird, I'm convinced we're going to have a hot September/October when the kids go back school. I literally bought a swaddle blanket in the prime sale lol I have a full list on there as you get 15% off if you have a baby wishlist but haven't ordered any of it yet.

@DmcinT hey! Glad babys doing well 🥰 I'm last out of @Sez281 @Supertrooper101 and due 4th November x

Glad your still in the zone @Jadeypie and doing well. ❤️

Hope your both okay @xxcxdonxx @Paws4thought x

I'm off to meet my new niece today, she was born Monday just gone and is gorgeous 😍 xx

@DmcinT thanks lovely! Yes, very exciting although slightly overwhelming too!! I've had a couple of cries the last two days about generally feeling unprepared and panicked about coping 🤦🏼‍♀️ It's very weird having an exact date to work to! Didn't have that with Sebby and he was late so I think I'd passed panic stage by then and just wanted him out! This time I feel a bit antsy in case I'm not ready enough. Although I know that's ridiculous as we have more than enough to cope and anything we suddenly discover we need can probably be obtained within a maximum of 24hrs... 🙃 I am SOooo ready to meet this little guy though and have him safely in my arms for snuggles 🥰

I believe @Supertrooper101 was around a month behind me so probs due mid Sept? Then @Sez281 around October and @Westy22 near Christmas..? So exciting 🥰

Can't believe little one is almost 6 months!! Crazy! Glad you're enjoying weaning! It's a chaotic but fun time! I think I was a rare exception - AF didn't return for me until I completely weaned and stopped all bf. I think that's pretty unusual so hopefully she'll be back for you soon! Take it you're hoping for a fairly small age-gap? Best of luck 🥰

Just popping in to say hi and omg @SnookyPook u are literally meeting ur little love in a matter of days if not hrs at this stage, how exciting. All the best now for Monday ❤️
lovely to see everyone’s updates and @Supertrooper101 u can’t be long left, are u next after snooky or what’s the order on who’s due?

for everyone entering Fw or tww best of luck, I’ll prob be joining ye soon once I start reducing BFing and hopefully get a period back quick enough🤞🏽 anyone any advice or experience around this?

our LO is 5.5 heading for 6 months and I can’t believe where the time has gone. We started solids at 5 months so it’s been a fun few weeks of trying different things 😅

@Supertrooper101 you need to get a move on woman hahaha.

And yeh health kicks going really well and feeling the benefits. Also the meds are working great now I'm on three a day and iv actually ovulated four times in a row now so made up with that. I did stop the high foliate they gave me because I was getting bad headaches so just the usual does of folic acid which agrees with me. Xx

@Westy22 not sure what the triggers are for the gd but if yours is on the 49th centile i dont think they will be concerned lol mine was 82nd at one point and still didnt test lol
@Sez281 shame about spain and especially since our weather is so stupidly random! Butttt.... you can all go together later in the year 🙂... had the health visitor routine home visit yesterday, she wasnt impressed av not bought hardly anything lol not long had my mw one.. ill have to check when my nxt hospital one is. Hopefully get to ask some questions and actually get a proper answer lol
@xxcxdonxx hopefully your little ones will keep ur mind busy in the summer holidays, or rainy holidays should i say lol
@Jadeypie hows the health kick going. Have the meds settled things in a routine now? Do you have your appointment coming up soon?

Morning everyone 😊

As usual I've been on the missing list like @xxcxdonxx I've took a step back for MN but I will always pop back in to check on you lovely ladies! Looks like everything is going great for use all ❤️

@xxcxdonxx I'm gearing up for fertile week. Still just plodding along and focusing on other stuff like my health and my little boy xx

@SnookyPook so excited for you! Baba will soon be here I crnt wait for the announcement 💙 @Supertrooper101 you'll be next 😉 xx

Hi everyone, I’ve missed loads here! Life’s been hectic recently and I’ve stepped back from MN for a bit. Seen a friend recently who is due a few weeks before I would have been and seeing her bump and talk of scans etc. was a tricky one to manage.

Anyway, looks like there’s lots happening!

@Sez281 thanks for checking in. Glad to hear all of your bloods have been ok and not showing any signs of GD. Hope you have a great break away and fingers crossed the weather holds for you. I think we are now in Autumn now and seem to have skipped summer all together, it’s been so miserable. I loose track, how many weeks are you now?

@Westy22 sounds like you are busy at home and you are in full nesting mode. That’s great you are starting to make some baby purchases, won’t be long now till you have them at yours. Hope your appointment with the mw all goes well, I used to get loads of random nose bleeds too towards the end of my first pregnancy. Not sure why but it was nothing to worry about.

@Supertrooper101 your due date is creeping up too. I hope baby’s movements have been keeping up to keep you reassured and that you get to speak to someone at your next appointment over any concerns.

@SnookyPook wowzers, you are only days away from meeting your little one, how exciting! How are you feeling now?
I had an elective section with my second and it was all really calm, just taking the pressure off when it was happening made a big difference for me.

@Jadeypie @Paws4thought thinking of you both too whatever point you are at 💜

Ahh this is exciting @SnookyPook 💙 Babys done so well to get to 37 weeks 🥰

@Sez281 glad it looks like you don't have GD I'm nervous I'll be put forward for it 🙈 my bump feels really big and I'm literally starving all the time, so I'm wondering whether that means big baby and will trigger a few checks even tho it was 49th percentile on the last scan 🙈

Finally took the plunge and ordered a moses basket lol went for the snuzbaskit 😍 sending everything to my mums tho so she can store till house is in a better place lol x

@Sez281 @Supertrooper101 thanks! I'll be bang on 37wks which is great considering at one point they thought he might have to come at 33!!

@Hankthehonk lovely to hear from you! Can't believe Rory will soon be starting solids!! I'm slightly anxious about the section but I've heard so many positive stories. I think I'd be more anxious about induction with the gestation we're at and concerns for little man. I'm nervous on a practical level but feel at peace that I've made the right call for him and for my MH too 👍🏼

@SnookyPook no way 🤯🙆‍♀️ thats so soon! Yours has bloody flew by lmao... do you have a predicted weight? If your about 37wks thats great his held on that long... aww am really plsd you have your date 🙂
@Sez281 i asked again yesterday about the gd blood test and it was nope, no trigger marks to need it lol plsd urs shud b negative then, one less worry x

Posted too quick! So pleased to see all the pregnancies going well, I've not been on mn much but I'll keep checking back for baby announcements! 🥰

Just catching up and @SnookyPook I'm so excited for you that you've got your baby's birth date! How are you feeling about having a section?
As I've said on here before my elective section experience was really positive so I hope yours will be too. Can't believe you're meeting your son in 6 days!

My wee boy is 5.5 months now and he's such a joy. Stuck to me like glue and changing all the time. First time sitting in a high chair yesterday, and we're gearing up to start solids. It really does go in soo fast second time around!
