For those wanting to join our facebook group please ask, there's always room for more!!

Hi again, thanks :) Probo being thick here but can't send you a PM - tried clicking on your name?

Hello all, I know I am very late to the party but could I possibly join you? My due date is 12th November

:-)

Hello. I'm due on the 15th November - can I join in?

Me too.

CS booked for15th.

Hia. 32 weeks with twins and booked for induction on 1 November so don't know whether to go for Nov or Oct. A little bird told me there are some other twin mothers on this thread. How are you all doing?

Hiya, can I join the facebook group please?

We do have another mummy having twins, pm Angus (who is cleverer than me) and she'll add you onto our FB group, you get instant messages back that way.
Congratulations!
Ps my due date is 1st Nov but I'm being induced on 18th Oct. they're a lovely group!

Hi ladies! Can I join in currently 35+1 and just had a call from the midwife, iron levels have dropped even more so and I'm definitely anaemic anyone else experiencing this? What could this mean for my labour?

Who has their hospital bags packed? I haven't need to get a move on!! Any thing I should take apart from the normal things?

Thanks x

I'm anaemic too GreenGiant - my iron levels are about 9.8 despite being on iron tablets for the past 4 weeks. The midwife doesn't seem too concerned though - I need to ask at my next appt whether it has any implications for the birth (I'm 36 weeks). I read somewhere that low iron could mean no chance of giving birth in the MLU but hopefully that's not true!

P.s. welcome to all the new people!

Hi mycat- I heard that too, i read on dr google that it could also mean once having your baby midwives will have to monitor blood loss etc and could possibly lead to a transfusion, I'm not seeing my midwife until the middle of October so will be sure to get all the information I need, my iron was low and it just seems to have gotten lower despite my attempts at bringing it up through medication and diet I even bought spa tone and have x2 sachets a day with large fresh orange hopefully everything will be ok! Pregnancy can be such a worry xx

34 weeks, been put on bed rest for a few days I have an infection ( not sure what yet...urine was sent for test) so I am on antibiotics....still to pack my hospital bag, I'm beginning to panic now.

Sorry to hear that Monique - try not to worry though, you should still have plenty of time to get your bag packed. I'm over 36 weeks and haven't done mine yet although now that I'm on maternity leave I'm starting to get myself organised at last!

Have no idea what to pack, don't want to pack too little and at the same time don't want to pack too much...will try and find a list online.

I still haven't packed mine. I really need to get a bloody move on! 35+4!

It still feels like I have ages left when I really don't, arrggghh.

This is my 2nd DC and I still don't know what to pack! I'm sure I had far too much last time though. Don't forget the snacks for during/after labour! I had Pringles for breakfast the morning after DS was born

Hi all! Wondered if I could join too please ( only just found this thread !) am 32 weeks and due end nov with my first. Not a clue what in doing so looking for all support and hand holding ;) will pm my details for fb group !

I'm feeling enormous, bored of being awake most of the night because of heartburn, backache and baby's head pushing on my foofoo like he's practising coming out! 36 weeks now, let the countdown commence!
Sorry for the whinge, off for an early morning snack now!

Hi ladies, sorry Im a bit late to the party, I was on the early threads but then fell off so to speak.

Im 35+3 weeks with baby number1. Due 7th Nov, although tbh Im ready to evict him now.

I have pgp which is making sleeping tough. Only have 9 days left at work though which makes everything seem better
