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 love catching up with your news and seeing all your updates 💖

Wimblepeep · 10/06/2022 19:03

Yup, I was one of those crying with the original thread too. It’s so exciting! I’m 40 and deciding now if I want to try. So it’s nice to read about ‘older’ mums here.

Bipbopbee · 10/06/2022 18:59

Such a lovely thread! Just caught up on your previous one OP, so pleased for you!

Themidnightpig · 10/06/2022 18:59

I just read your previous thread too and it also made me cry!! Congratulations to you, what a wonderful exciting time for you and DH.

I was the same gestation as you (ish) this time last year and now I have a gorgeous squishy little almost 10 month old, it is the best feeling in the world.

(Ps I also smiled at having just bought all your lovely christmas cheeses, meats and wine that you then realized you couldn't eat as that was me too!)

💐

@Omgwhatthehell
Omg I love this thread, congratulations 🎊 to you and dp.

I'm now pregnant to with what I hope is my rainbow baby after 4 miscarriages I'm 11+2 week's have had 3 scans so far on NHS cause of my past, also work in a hospital so a girl from ultrasound had a quick peak today and baby was dancing I'm hoping it hangs in there.

Izzwizzo · 10/06/2022 18:45

I'm so thrilled for you. I remember your first thread and it made me cry happy tears! Hope you get some time to put your feet up and relax before baby OMG arrived. Life will never be the same again but in a wonderful way Smile

SerialNameChanger2114 · 10/06/2022 18:45

This is one of my favourite ever threads ❤️❤️

ColourMeExhausted · 10/06/2022 18:45

What a lovely thread to find on here! So happy for you OP and wishing you all the very best with your pregnancy and delivery! I had second DC at 38 and two of my friends gave birth at 42 with no complications. Nothing wrong with being an 'older' mum!

SpaceFarce · 10/06/2022 18:43

Ah thanks for starting a new thread and keeping us all updated, OP. I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever been so excited for a stranger’s baby to arrive than I am for yours. Just so very pleased for you, you seem like a lovely person.

CuriousMama · 10/06/2022 18:41

It's so exciting. What a lovely time to have a baby 💞

Pieeyed · 10/06/2022 18:36

Such a lovely thread 💕

shivermetimbers77 · 10/06/2022 18:35

I have also been quietly following and so happy for you OP! Great to read your updates

PaintingClocks · 10/06/2022 18:35

I’ve just read your first thread and it’s made me cry! Congratulations!!

Nottogetapenny · 10/06/2022 18:35

We are all here for you and wishing you, your baby and family well. I hope you don’t mind me saying, but in a way we all feel attached! Maybe it’s the way, you keep us informed but maybe it’s because you have made this thread so lovely. Take care, and enjoy your weekend. Xx

LittleBear21 · 10/06/2022 18:32

Yay! So glad for you and baby OMG and the new thread!

Looking forward to all the happy updates

Americano75 · 10/06/2022 18:28

I've just discovered your original thread and honestly, it's made my day. What a wee miracle.

Cherrysoup · 10/06/2022 18:26

Oh my! Just read your original thread. How exiting! I hope you’re feeling well. Has the baby turned?

Forestcantrun · 10/06/2022 18:24

I remember being absolutely delighted for you when you first posted in December so I'm very pleased to have found you again and hear all is well. This is such a lovely thread 😍

Lottle · 10/06/2022 18:24

Following! I remember the original thread and feeling so happy for you. Sorry this will have been asked but whatever happened about that original procedure you needed?!

nettie434 · 10/06/2022 18:20

Oh I remember your original thread. I am so pleased that everything is going well for you. Dried fruit like apricots and prunes are good sources of iron. Tinned sardines are brilliant but they are not to everyone's taste!
