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.

Don’t know why I posted that twice.
I’ve had the gel now although it looks like things were on the move naturally.
So hopefully it won’t be too long.

Oh my gosh oh my gosh oh my gosh.
well,you’ve told some friends 😋and I’d argue we’re all aunties now too hehe.
can’t believe the time some of us have been here,from that first post.the uncertainties.fears.what ifs.and how you went for it with such determined strength and bravery. What a mum this lo has gotten lucky with.
I keep thinking yeah it’s been kind of a long time to follow a post right?but it really has,over 9 bloody months!wahoo.
so happy for you.nearly there.
