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.

I'm so pleased to read your wonderful updates, I commented right back in December when you first posted and kept up to date with your last thread, so it's been lovely to see today how well everything is going for you!

My first baby was breech at my 32 week scan, but one evening when I was 35 weeks and in the bath, I watched her push up on her hands and knees and turn herself around - it was quite bizarre to watch! So don't worry too much at this stage, your DS still has time to turn on his own, without intervention. My eldest DD is 15 now, but that moment is still very clear in my memory!

Sending you my very best wishes!

@northernpearl I have to agree.
I understand op has had fertility issues but she's pregnant now and other people still struggle.
If anything surely she should understand that more than most?

northernpearl · 11/06/2022 07:21

Being pregnant is part of life, no need to hide it away in specific sections. If posters don't like it they can hide it. Anyway OP posted here because her original thread is here and if you read it you will see she has had fertility struggles.

I hide the pregnancy threads for this very reason. I think it's inappropriate for it to be in AIBU.

Wow.can't believe we are almost there.listen to me say We! As if we've all incubated this baby haha.
Been here since that 1st post.there are so many ways that day could have gone.
But it was bestest news.and it's so close now.to meet your meant to be little boy.
He's going to be treasured eh op.

I just saw this thread come up so I read your original thread from start to finish and I can't tell you how happy I am for you.

It's so lovely to read something so positive on here.

Congratulations to you both💐

With all the pregnancy/parenting threads on here, why did you post this in AIBU?

I'm happy for you but posting on this thread is insensitive I feel

My DS the day before labour decided to go back to back 🤣. They didn't realise until I was in labour and a lovely doctor turned him around for me.
