April 2017 # 6 - Third trimester is here!

[MyGreenSofa]

New thread for the lovely ladies due in April 2017. Suddenly there's only 3 months to go! And the thread has already welcomed two special, early arrivals.

Please continue chatting here!

Hope things are well Keith

Thanks bangbang I'm fine. Bloods were normal and he woke up so was just sent home to scratch until my section on the 27th! It's actually not as bad today, hopefully this continues!

That's good news.

I'm back at the hospital tomorrow to see how the baby is getting on...

37 weeks today here!

Sounds like you've had a stressful couple of days keith and bangbang. Glad you're home now keith (hope you get some relief from the itching soon too!) Hope appointment goes well today bangbang

I ended up with an impromptu trip to triage on Saturday for reduced movements, was the first time I had that and none of the usual things got baby to move, started to really convince myself something was wrong. Of course within 5 mins of being hooked up on the monitor baby finally woke up and started wriggling around, little scamp!

How's everyone else doing?

We painted the nursery this weekend and got most of the furniture in and sorted which is super exciting as I can finally start organising and putting things away properly!! just got to wait a couple of weeks before we can put our safari animal decal up on the fresh paint now. I'm impatient to put it up though!

Last week at work this week, eeeek. Thank goodness! Finishing on Friday at 37 weeks. Sitting at desk all day sooo uncomfortable now.

Anyone due early April starting to feel signs of anything at all?

At the beginning of last week it honestly felt like he was banging on the door he felt so heavy and low but since then nothing! And the scan said he was already 6 pounds 12 or something so I'd rather he got a move on to be honest!

I fell off the thread - sorry (but there's a good reason!)

MicroChat arrived on Tuesday last week - 35+5w, via emergency section. All very dramatic but we're so relieved. Little girl, 5lb 9oz, back home now and looking scrumptious :)

Aww chat massive congratulations!! Certainly does sound a bit dramatic/scary? Hope you're all doing well and enjoying lots of lovely newborn cuddles!

Was wondering if there might be some babies lurking out there yet!!

I'm feeling a lot more heaviness in my pelvis now too abe and the peeing has definitely upped in frequency too since bump dropped!!

HUGE congratulations Chat

Congratulations! Hope it's all going well!

Congratulations chat, that's brilliant news! The April babies will be coming thick and fast soon!

I'm so ready for this baby now - only 35+2 but utterly fed up with being pregnant. Done most of the shopping and room is nearly ready so feeling quite prepared but still feels a long way away. 2 weeks to go at work too, which I can't be bothered with either. Can't see anything happening early though.

Congratulations chat! Sounds dramatic but pleased to hear that you're back home and little one is doing well.

I'm 36 weeks today, and definitely getting impatient for the arrival!

Congratulations chat - hope your recovering is going well and you're enjoying yummy cuddles 💕

Love that the babies are starting to arrive!

36 weeks today aswell, and FINALLY finished my hospital bag. I've even started washing baby clothes! Really hope I get a burst of energy soon as I'm proper tired and slacking :/.

I have a seminar tonight about girls with autism which runs till 9pm! I usually in bed by 8pm so no idea how I'm going to cope, will ask the person sitting next to me to poke me awake if I doze off

Still can't be arsed to get off the sofa now

Congratulations, Chat!

Shark* I'm 36+1 and I just can't be bothered either - I'm just so tired! Aiming to get my hospital bag done by the end of this week.

Finish work in 2 weeks and it just couldn't come soon enough...! Winding down nicely though, so my workload isn't too bad, it's just the commute and trying to concentrate which is hard...

My back is starting to give in too now.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Congratulations chat! Also have some news to share.. our baby was delivered by emcs during the early hours of Wednesday morning at 37+5 (just!) weighing 8lb 3oz. My waters broke and contractions started but he was still presenting breech. We got home on Friday.

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Wow purple congratulations to you too! Hope you're all doing well.

Oh wow, babies galore! Congratulations to you too purple! Hope all is going well?

So that's 1 for the #pinks, and 1 for the #blues and 2 #emcs - I wonder what the tally will be once we're all done...?

Oh wow congratulations to you too purple! Hope you're recovering well and enjoying smooshy cuddles!

It's all starting to feel a lot more real now! I've had a day off today and have just done my second load of baby washing, it smells so good! So nice to be able to have somewhere to put stuff away properly now too!

Congratulations purple and chat!!

Ooh I want to wash my baby things, what's the nicest smelling laundry powder/gel?

Massive congratulations to chat and purple!

Congratulations, purple!

Wow! You turn away from the thread for a day and babies start popping up all over the place.

Congrats Chat and Purple Fantastic news!

Who's going to be next?

P.S one of my closest friends messaged me earlier to say she's expecting again (#3)

It really is a baby day!

Thank you! Do we have a follow on thread?
