Omg super shiv you are all in our thoughts today. How frightening for you all - keep us posted but most of all look after yourselves xxxxxxx

BadMissM · 13/04/2013 12:17

OMG Supershiv, that must have been so scary.....but kind of similar to when I had DD. I was in hospital, (but only for tests) but again thought I had an upset stomach, not that I was giving birth (because I'd never done it before)... I was half-way through before I got a nurse.

At home! Gosh that must have been really scary. Sending you much love and light and good thoughts xxxxxx

Congratulations to you and baby Oliver, and well doen your DH for thinking so quickly xxxx

Little Oliver will be in my prayers (what a lovely name). You have a very clever DH too. Thinking of your new little family and sending positive thoughts your way xx

Cheeseandbread · 13/04/2013 13:09

Wanted to thank everyone for bump advice re being a bridesmaid in August. Mumziller has calmed down a bit (after tears from my friend and her) she now likes the dress.

esme80 · 13/04/2013 14:15

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 13/04/2013 14:47

Welcome to the world baby Oliver.

I will be thinking of you both. xx

paolocee · 13/04/2013 14:48

Good luck Shiv and Oliver and DH!

Hey Schro, long time no see. How's the lingonberry addiction?

Grannyapple · 13/04/2013 14:54

Just seen your news shiv...huge congrats to you both...beautiful name & well done to your dh too...he sounds pretty amazing in the situation. Huge good luck vibes to little Oliver & you guys too & we'll all be around here to support you over the coming weeks & months xxx

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 13/04/2013 15:03

Paolo Hey there. :) The threads kind of dropped off my active list and I kept forgetting to come back.

No more lingonberries! That died off after a while, thank goodness!

How are you?

paolocee · 13/04/2013 15:09

Glad you fought your way through it, Schro. Just take one day at a time. Smile
I hope it wasn't a gateway cordial. Stay away from that dandelion & burdock.

Am good. Not been on here much either. Work, house renovation and twin preparation taking up 101% of my time. All good with you? Big bump yet?

SchroSawMargeryDaw · 13/04/2013 15:22

:o

It must be so expensive preparing for twins! Are you getting very excited about them? I'm wondering how big the twin bump is!?

No bump here yet. I've lost over a stone since becoming pregnant and am not showing at all, you can only see a little bit of a bump at the bottom if I am lying down flat. I can see the baby move under my skin though, very mad to watch!

SundaySunshine · 13/04/2013 15:36

Oh my word shiv just read your post. Congratulations!!! Grin that must have been traumatic for you and your DH. What a clever daddy. I hope you are recovering well and little Oliver is getting bigger and stronger by the minute. Keep us posted as you will certainly be in all our thoughts xxxxxx

Wow shiv. Congratulations on becoming a mummy! Welcome little Oliver! Well done you and Mr Shiv, that must have been a terrifying experience. All our thoughts are with you both and little Oliver. I hope he goes from strength to strength and is home with you in no time xxx

dinkystinky · 13/04/2013 18:16

Supershiv - huge hugs to you, DH and Oliver. His arrival sounds so scary but the staff in SCBU will be taking excellent care of him and I really hope both you and Dh recover from the birth well and all 3 of you are in my thoughts and prayers xxx keep posting on here to let us know how you are all doing and if there is anything any of us can do to help out at all.

Wow shiv that must have been so scary, sending prayers for little Oliver, I'm sure they are taking great care of him. You and dh must have had such a fright but well done to both of you and big congratulations.
I too was just thinking to myself about who would have first baby on this thread, I had a feeling we would have one soon
