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.

How exciting- best of luck OP 😊

MeenzAmRhoi · 26/07/2022 14:29

Yay lots of luck, op!

PragmaticWench · 26/07/2022 14:27

Just think that this time last year you had no idea of all this to come. Shows our lives can change in unexpected ways, for good or bad.

I have an update!
My waters broke at 4am this morning at 39 +2. I called the delivery suite and they told me to come in. And I’ve been here since, being monitored. I’m just waiting to be induced.
We haven’t told any friends and family yet as I’d rather just let them all know when he’s safely delivered.
Wish me luck!

Fabulous!

One of the most joyous threads EVER ! made me cry a little- with happiness for you !

Thinking of you OP! I too have goosebumps and have followed your wonderful story since the start.

Hope all goes well for you this afternoon - and I look forward to hearing an update whenever you are ready ❤️

ponlm · 26/07/2022 14:12

Good luck! This is so exciting, I've been following along for a while!

Gives me some hope after 3 years of TTC #1 without success!

doodleygirl · 26/07/2022 14:10

wishing you so much luck for a lovely birth

MatildaJayne · 26/07/2022 14:09

Goodness, saw this trending but hadn’t realised how close you are now! Wasn’t expecting it to be a live birth thread. You’ll have your little boy in your arms today! (Or tomorrow.)

Swannning · 26/07/2022 14:06

Lovely thread, good luck OP

DollieBantrysPantry · 26/07/2022 14:03

Soooooo exciting, fingers crossed everything goes well and the baby is soon here 😊

Mama1980 · 26/07/2022 14:03

Good luck op 😊

Dyra · 26/07/2022 14:03

Oh wow! I remember your first thread and now baby is nearly here.... Best of luck!

Izzwizzo · 26/07/2022 14:02

Oh so exciting. I've been following since the start. Wishing you the very best for a smooth delivery. Not long to go until your little one is here. Will be thinking of you. The post birth tea and toast will be the best you've ever tasted WinkBrew

CbaThinkingOfAUsername · 26/07/2022 14:01

Sorry, OP, just read your update. I had a sweep, the balloon and 2 pessaries and they still didn't work, it was a lot of waiting around in hospital for nothing! I'm glad things are on the move for you though! I can't wait to hear that baby is here!

LumpyandBumps · 26/07/2022 13:57

This is the best thread I’ve seen on MN. I remember your first OMG post. Now you are so close to becoming a Mum. Best of luck x

CbaThinkingOfAUsername · 26/07/2022 13:56

@Omgwhatthehell my eyes actually filled up with tears reading this, I so happy for you! I've I've through the same then eventually got my little baby, so I know the feeling. Congratulations. I also clicked on your old thread and forgot that I had commented on that as well at the time, under a different username 😊

Oh and in regards to doctors not wanting older mums going much over their due date. They did the same with me, I was 39 when giving birth. They did so many blooming interventions, I wish I had said no, the midwives didn't seem happy with the medical decision either to induce me. I'm not saying that to sway you either way, but just make sure you do your research in advance, as I got a bit overwhelmed with it all.

SunsetandCupcakes · 26/07/2022 13:45

adler you made me tear up.

MarsupiIami · 26/07/2022 13:44

Ooh exciting! Best of luck

SunsetandCupcakes · 26/07/2022 13:43

Oh how exciting.

I am also so very excited that you have told us, gosh I sound so sappy but it feels like a privilege to have shared in your nervous OMG, wtf in the very beginning (and knowing the time it took to get to that point) and now to know baby Brian is making an appearance.

Agree with thehop there is nothing like this moment you are in, sending you unmusnetty love. (Will return to being a viper asap)

whyayepetal · 26/07/2022 13:40

Oh what a lovely thread! Another one wishing you and your DH all the best Smile

Janey3090 · 26/07/2022 13:36

This is so exciting!! Wishing you the best of luck 💙
