Aaahhhh... thread number 12! Hold on tight ladies... here come the babies!

Congrats happydays and welcome to the world little happy. Hope he is out of NiCU soon, can't wait to see a photo and find out name/weight!! Get lots of rest x

Congratulations @happydays00 I hope he's doing well. Will be thinking of you both

Megan, my DD is a Friday 13th baby, it's always been a good day for us!

Sorry to hear it is taking a while Karigan! Atleast you are on your way!

37 weeks today here.

Congratulations @happydays00!! Hope you get your little one back with you quickly and in the meantime manage to have a bit of a rest.

Oh @happydays00 congratulations! Hopefully that babe will be out of NICU and in your arms in no time. 3litres!!!!!!! No wonder you were struggling!!!!!
@Karigan195 that all sounds exhausting. Come on that cervix! Glad you've a backup plan in place.
Two more babies by this time tomorrow!!

Think i might have lost a bit of plug, no blood though. Obv this could mean nothing. Feel like i will be waddling with fanny daggers for atleast 2 weeks yet

Anyone with previous children, has anyone ever done a ‘newborn photo session’? I only just started thinking about it and they all say to book after 20 week scan.... are they worth doing?

Never done it sorry hsunshine

@happydays00 huge congratulations Mama! And welcome to the world mini-happy! Hope you are reunited by now and enjoying all those wonderful newborn snuggles.

@karigan195 fingers crossed for a co-operative cervix tonight. Otherwise we're date buddies!

@hsunshine yes, and have the same photographer booked for this one. I'm very fussy about photos and knew the only way to be in some was to have a proper shoot. The pictures are wonderful. Not posed, no baby in a flowerpot (no offence if that's your thing!), fully natural in our own home. Half family shots and half sleepy baby shots. I actually can't wait to see our photographer again, she's lovely.

Haven't caught up on everything but @Karigan195 sorry to hear it's been a real slog for you!!

@Stroan - did you manage to get home for the night? Wishing you the very best of luck for tomorrow!

Baby Happy still has no name but weighed a very chunky 6lb 15 which I was surprised about as my DD was 7lb 2 at 39 weeks! This is the only picture I have without wires and feeding tubes so hope to have a better one soon!

Then doctors have said the x Ray has showed a lot of fluid on his lungs, but hopefully this will just evaporate naturally over the next couple of days. So good news really, as they were initially concerned there was a blockage or something and surgery would have been needed. I think that's ruled out now but will feel happier once I've seen the doctors and baby myself!

@happydays00 look at the gorgeous human you made! You've had such a hard slog, I hope you have a much easier recovery.

Yes, I'm home. Back in tomorrow at 11am

Oh look at him @happydays00 !!!! He's such a bundle!!!!! V good news that no surgery needed!

Omg happydays he is just lovely! I want one!

Decaf yours is on order...

Congrats @happy he's a cutie! Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery for you both x

@happydays00 oh he's a wee cutie! Have you narrowed down names at all?

What a lovely little baby. That's how perfectly formed our babies inside our tummies are right now! Makes it so real.

AHH what a gorgeous boy happydays and a fantastic weight. Glad all is ok and no surgery needed.

Awww he’s lovely Happy!

Think we are going to be due date buddies Stroan. Have you been given sexy white socks too 😂😂.

They just monitored again and contractions coming 4 every 10 mins. Average strength around 77 and still no progress apart from an unbelievably sore pelvis (arghhh)

But dusty i have no patience! I need same day delivery!

On a different note. Since I have been imprisoned in the maternity unit I had to send my mum to Aldi! She did well. We now have 6 reuseable nappies, two packs of liners, 2 packs of boosters and three sleep suit sets. The sleepy fox set is gorgeous and the nappies are £6 cheaper than normal- thank you mum!!!

Oh he is just lovely @happydays00 well done you!! It’s totally mind bending how fully and perfectly formed these little babies inside of us are isn’t it?!
Sorry things aren’t progressing @karigan95 but you can’t day you didn’t give it your best shot! Hoping for an early slot for your section in the morning!

@IVEgottheDECAF. Ha ha I have no patience either. Karma is laughing right now 😂😂😂

Ooft karigan you're such a trooper. Although 4 in 10 sounds closer than before?! So moving in the right direction. At least you know baby will definitely be here by tomorrow morning.
