Just thought I'd better start a new thread for those of you who would like to see updates before the old one is totally full.

All still good here! I've been a bit low on iron but the tablets REALLY don't agree with me. So I've started just taking one in the morning with orange juice, and having a spoonful of Floridix in the afternoon and making an effort to eat spinach and red meat.
I've been feeling baby OMG moving around a lot more now he's getting bigger and stronger, which is lovely although slightly alarming at times!

We've probably got a maximum of 7 weeks to go now as I understand the drs are not keen for older mums to go much over 39 weeks. Eeeek.
Will keep you all posted.

He is here! Arrived about 4 hours ago, weighing just over 7lb.
I didn’t have to have an emergency caesarean in the end, but needed a little bit of help.
DH and I are totally besotted.

Hi OMG/OP, I’ve actually joined just so I could post a message here! I got enthralled by your story and just want to add my very best wishes to all those you’ve had on here.
I suspect by now you may have needed to go the emergency section route.
Looking forward to hearing there’s a healthy mum and healthy baby.
And yes, the tea and toast will be like nectar!

Hope the induction has worked for you.
My sister had to be induced twice but ended up with emcs both times due to failure to progress. In the end though the babies were healthy and she recovered well so fingers crossed it won't be long now.

Also the tea and toast after is the best you'll have in your life. Grin Brew🍞

I've followed this thread since the day the original was posted and can't believe you're now at the point baby OMG is on the way! It seems to have flown by!
Good luck OP. I have so enjoyed following your journey x

Hi everyone. Thank you for the well wishes.
I’m about to go onto a hormone drip as the gel hasn’t progressed things much.
I will probably sign off again now until I have actual baby news.

I had to do that too. Hopefully it works quickly 🙏

Good luck OP! I’ll be thinking of you! I remember opening up your original thread thinking it was about a positive covid test result! Thank you so much for keeping us updated. We are with you!
