6th thread already 😬😬😬 not long now

@sunshine8888 congratulations she is beautiful. Good to hear everything is ok with you both, hopefully you wont have to spend too long in NICU.

We are still in after nearly 4 weeks but hes really on the up now!! X

@Sunshine8888 oh my goodness, congratulations on beautiful Carolie! Isn't she just beautiful! I still remember when you got that positive test and now your beautiful daughter is here! Can't wait to hear lots of updates on how she's doing :) How are you feeling? How was the birth?

@Purple29 so glad your little boy is doing well :) hopefully you can go home soon ❤️ How are you feeling?

@Sunshine8888 aaah congratulations! She is beautiful 💕💕

@Purple29 that's excellent ... hopefully he will be perfectly strong to go home soon and you can be a family x lots of love as it can't be easy at all

@Sunshine8888 congratulations lovely lady! What a lovely surprise to wake up too this morning, a little bit of sunshine on these dark days. She's beautiful and a cracking weight!!! Enjoy every single second of her 💓💓💓

@Sunshine8888 - congratulations! I think we had the same due date.

Is anyone trying anything in particular to help with birth preparation? I have started taking Raspberry leaf tea and eating dates, both are supposed to help the cervix contract so help with the last stage of labour. If they don't help I figure no harm in trying. And is anyone doing Perineal massage?

@Sunshine8888 massive congratulations! What lovely news. Hope you are both well 💕

Anyone struggling sleeping? I’m so uncomfortable at night, I must have turned sides about 20 times last night. I’m exhausted constantly and still have another 4 weeks of work 😭😩

@Sunshine8888
Wow! Congratulations! Lovely news! Glad your both doing well x 💝

@Sunshine8888 big congratulations! She looks beautiful and wow so big! ❤️
Had you started your leave already?

@Sunshine8888
Was your due date the same as mine ? 2nd May? x

@Sunshine8888 wow congratulations! She’s beautiful. Hopefully won’t be too long and you’ll be at home.

@Purple29 glad your little man is doing well too!

Massive congrats Sunshine8888 she's beautiful!! X

Congratulations @Sunshine8888 wonderful news! I think this might be the start of more birth announcements how exciting! X

@Caspianberg I am planning to give perineal massage a go this weekend. Will see how it goes 🙈

@Lifesforlivingandloving and @123Pandy girls please can you post any new info you get about appointments / birth policies from Queen Charlotte's in the coming weeks? My next appointment is in 2.5 weeks, I will also post anything I learn then.

@Caspianberg I started doing the perineal massage a couple of weeks ago. It's super uncomfortable to find a good position to do it any I'm not sure if I'm even doing it right! 🙈

@Sunshine8888 congratulations she's soo perfect! Keep safe xx

@Sunshine8888 she’s so beautiful! Congratulations

@sunshine8888 huge congratulations! I remember when you got pregnant all those months ago! You were due the day before me :)
She is absolutely beautiful btw xxx

i'm struggling with pain on the left side of my bump. seems to ease if i lie down. makes me think it's stretching or ligaments rather than labour or braxton hicks but i'm so uncomfortable that i took paracetamol twice today and can't help putting my Dd to bed- i asked my hubby to do it

@november90 and @facevalue thanks. I'm doing ok, just going through the motions of expressing and spending time with him plus trying to eat and rest myself.

Hoping to get home by the end of april.

Hope your all keeping well.

@woollycat
They changed the rules again today
No partners allowed at any appointments
No partners for the induction part if your induced they can come back once your in established labour
They can only stay for 2 hours after the birth then they have to leave and cannot visit again until your discharged 😢

@Lifesforlivingandloving thanks for the info. That's annoying - but at least they can be there through established labour and birth

@Sunshine8888 congratulations!! 💕
