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.

Congratulations 🎊 well done OMG!

Two bits of advice,
Everything is a phase, they come and go, don't stress they'll eventually out grow it.
The next year or two will go in a flash, so get the camera 📷 out.

What wonderful news, read your thread from the start and honestly it’s such a heartwarming thread, huge congrats to you and DH absolutely flipping fantastic xx

Eaglesqueak · 27/07/2022 23:00

I’ve followed your story from your first post last year and it has to be one of the most heartwarming threads ever on here.
i used to work in a clinic investigating women for fertility issues and we did pregnancy tests on everyone before any procedure. The women would look incredulously at us because the whole reason they were there was because they couldn’t get pregnant, but it was amazing how many positive tests we had. Following your story has been like following one of those women from that moment of joyous disbelief to the beautiful reality you now have.
Thank you for sharing your journey with us all and many, many congratulations on the birth of your gorgeous little boy. I wish you and your little family a lifetime of happiness and joy.
