Well she’s here 🥰 bleeding and back pain got so bad last night and this morning I went for an emergency section today! She’s flying it, off the oxygen now so may just have to stay in NICU for the wknd to be monitored just! ❤️ can’t believe it 😂

I’m 30 weeks but my section should be 9 weeks from now, I haven’t got my date yet but all being well!
I thought I had it from last time but I can’t find it. Husbands job is to find me one today 😂. I have a wheat bag that’s taking the edge off at the moment.
I bet! Anything with blood in pregnancy is so scary isn’t it. I can’t believe your little one will be here in a maximum of 2 weeks! Seems 5 mins ago we were obsessing over our lines 😂 x

@Daniki really hoping it goes quick for you, these weeks are flying so hope these next 2 do too!
Oh wow bet your nerves were wrecked that they could have been coming then!
yeah all good here thanks. Just these pains are on another level recently, was literally in tears last night as every time he moved I thought my hips were gonna snap. But other than that everything is good 😊. Starting to get real now that I’m in single digits for weeks left

@Marie1990xhey! I know, really hoping it flies in! But I do find getting to hump day it flies to the wknd til I see my son and then we’re into the next week 🥰 was all prepped Monday morning for a section as my waters turned bloody but everything seemed fine and it wasn’t my placenta so likely just my cervix is irritated now from the constant leaking! Was disappointed then but sure look it another 2 weeks and they’ll be in arms rather than the NICU 🙌🏻 how you feeling?

@Daniki I haven’t got a band, no. It’s only just really properly come on after niggling for a bit.
Omg no way 🫣 must have been a quick labour! Bet it’s surreal being around all these babies!

Daniki · 06/09/2025 17:26

@Marie1990xoh no! PGP is so painful 🥺 have you a support band? I’m feeling good, 3 weeks and a bit left 🙌🏻 I’m feeling heavy now and breathless so not getting up and about as much 😂 just had the lady across from me give birth there it happened so quick there wasn’t time to move her to the labour ward 😂🙈

I’ve literally been bed bound the last couple of days, PGP and/or round ligament pain is killing me, I can barely walk. Hoping it eases with some rest

Marie1990x · 27/08/2025 12:55

@Daniki aghhhh amazing amazing news!!!! At least there’s a date in place so light at the end of the tunnel 🥰. Bet it feels like such a relief having a date in place for sure. Glad everything is going well, and that’s good they’re not concerned about the spotting.

I’m doing good thanks. Bump is definitely feeling heavy now so definitely feeling it, but all good 😊. Third trimester next week which is CRAZY x

@Marie1990xgood! Still here 😂 only 5 weeks to go 🥲 I got a section date for the 1st of oct il be bang on 37 weeks, obviously anything could happen in the mean time but I asked them to give me a date so I had something to count down to! Had some spotting last night and this morning but they don’t seem too concerned, they’re going to take me for a scan at some stage and all my monitoring seems fine! How are you!? Xx

@LibbyOTV we were ttc for soooo long but I definitely think diet and supplements helped. I started the keto diet (predominately for myself not necessarily for ttc but knew it was meant to help with PCOS) along with supplements. I took coq-10, vitamin D, folic acid and baby aspirin. Also took iron and b12 as my GP tests came back as anaemia. Started all this in January and was pregnant by March.

@Daniki yeah having a planned section this time. Started to get really nervous about it now though!

OP posts:
Daniki · 19/08/2025 13:16

@Marie1990xit really is! 😂 oh no way is he she 😂 did you say you’re hoping to have a planned section this time? 🙏

@LibbyOTVi tried a bit of everything but in the end we had to go through IVF, we had secondary infertilty and I had 4 miscarriages so a lot of trial and error with meds as it was immune issues for me! 🫣

LibbyOTV · 19/08/2025 13:08

Thank you @Danikiand @Marie1990xfor replying. That's really helpful. I'll def consider one of these tests. Do you mind if i ask what you think worked well for you in the end? Thanks so much

@Daniki one thing after another for you isn’t it 😂. This baby is measuring but too, 95th centile I think it was 🫣. My daughter was always bang on 50th so don’t know what’s going in 😅.

@LibbyOTV I did the hertility tests. It was good as it confirmed my PCOS, but still needed to go through GP’s to get an official diagnosis so in a way a bit pointless maybe? Although getting GP’s to check fertility is a postcode lottery, I was very lucky (but I’d been TTC for over 2 years). But if you want a quick check to see what your body is doing, I would recommend then at least you’d have an idea
