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.

Good luck 💙

Good luck, enjoy the excitement of the next few hours, I know you just want it over. But take a moment to think how special it is. And a day that you'll never forget good or bad you'll never forget!

How exciting, he's nearly here Grin

Best of luck for a smooth and easy birth, and if it isn't your little boy will soon be in your arms to make it all worth it.

Strange isn't it- to think that very soon not only will a baby be born but so too will a mother Flowers

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.

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!

No news yet I’m afraid @Heronatemygoldfish but I am ready to evict him! I feel so heavy and quite tired.

Hopefully I’ll have an update within the next 5 days or so.

@SunsetandCupcakes I’ve always crunched ice lollies Grin
I’m happy that the crazy hot weather has gone. I’ve been enjoying maternity leave so far and napping like crazy. I must have needed a rest.

Enjoy the maternity leave, have you started crunching the ice lollys?
