For all of us who have recently got BFPs, all of those still trying and for all the lovely updates about new arrivals let's hope this lucky thread continues for us all 🙏🌈💝 xx

Morning,

Ahh I can't believe you meet your baby tomorrow 😍 @SnookyPook must feel so weird, best of luck and hope everything goes well! Can't wait for the update xx

@Supertrooper101 lol at the health visitor not being happy lol I felt really anxious about how unprepared I am yesterday, but hoping to get alot of things sorted in August/Sept. I had my doula class lol I actually really enjoyed it, only a small group all at different stages, OH came and I think he got alot out of it, come away discussing delayed cord clamping etc lol x

@Sez281 gutted about the holiday, definitely still wear all those holiday bits ha the weather is definitely being super weird, I'm convinced we're going to have a hot September/October when the kids go back school. I literally bought a swaddle blanket in the prime sale lol I have a full list on there as you get 15% off if you have a baby wishlist but haven't ordered any of it yet.

@DmcinT hey! Glad babys doing well 🥰 I'm last out of @Sez281 @Supertrooper101 and due 4th November x

Glad your still in the zone @Jadeypie and doing well. ❤️

Hope your both okay @xxcxdonxx @Paws4thought x

I'm off to meet my new niece today, she was born Monday just gone and is gorgeous 😍 xx

@SnookyPook Good luck for tomorrow!! It's come round so quickly.
I'm taking a bit of a step back from mn but still following along :) AF arrived Friday so onto the next cycle.
Hope everyone is doing OK :)

Thinking of you today @SnookyPook , hope you don’t have too much waiting around and cannot wait to hear your update!!

The very best of luck today @SnookyPook It's been such a journey to get to this point, not long now until he's in your arms 💙 🥰

@xxcxdonxx that just have been so tough seeing your friend as it's such an obvious reminder 😢 i hope the break from here has done you some good x

@Jadeypie so glad to hear all the health stuff is going well, sounds like you've had a really good distracting summer x

@Paws4thought sorry to hear AF arrived. I hope you're enjoying the summer as much as you can as a distraction x

@Supertrooper101 you may get buying stuff missus! 😂

@Westy22 hope you enjoyed the cuddles with your niece 🥰

@DmcinT so good to hear from you too. It's lovely hearing updates from those that have come before us. The very best of luck with reducing BF and hopefully ttc again in the near future x

@Jadeypie you sound very care free on doing good 🙂
@Westy22 i can imagine the nhs being annoyed about the delayed clamping, they normally want to kick you else where as soon as possible all detached and good to.go lol theres so many positive things ive read about it though. Was you ok after your w.c jab?
@Sez281 did you end up going away this weekend. Was the weather ok?
@Paws4thought good tomhear from.you and that your still part of the little group 🙂
@SnookyPook well ! As if todays THE day....you so deserve this to go smoothly for you.. look.forward to your update 🙂

@Supertrooper101 yeah the doula said they like to get things done quickly but if it's what you want then they have to respect that. Makes sense to delay though if its holding babys blood so it can push it through. I as fine with jab, arm was sore for about a day and that's it, I stopped worrying about it when I thought I'd been vaccinated for it as a baby anyway, have you decided what your going to do? X

Niece was tiny 😍 she was so chilled and barely cried lol they made it look quite easy 🤣 @Sez281

Sat waiting for my MW appointment, bump measuring day 😱 I took a pic of it this morning and compared to my evening pics it feels small now so I think I just massively bloat 🤣

Good luck today 💙💙💙 @SnookyPook I'm so excited for you xx

Hope all has gone well today and you're enjoying cuddles with your little man @SnookyPook

Thanks everyone! He's here safe and sound! So in love 🥰 5lbs7oz which is officially 2nd centile! But he seems so strong and not as tiny as I'd feared! I'm doing well. Surgery was really positive and we've been very well looked after. 💙 We think we're going with Samuel Arthur but just feeling it out!!

@SnookyPook o wow 🙂 he looks so chubby for that weight! Such a releif for you, well done for staying so strong throughout x
@Westy22 how did you get on today? Think after a day of eating and drinking they tend to.expand a far bit lol

Congratulations @SnookyPook I've been thinking of you today! What a gorgeous boy, enjoy those perfect snuggles ❤️

Aww congratulations @SnookyPook , he is just perfection!
Enjoy all of those lovely snuggles and being in the newborn bubble with your handsome new addition xx

Congratulations @SnookyPook he's gorgeous and a lovely little weight 😍 enjoy your baby bubble 💙 xx

@Supertrooper101 she didn't bloody measure me lol even though my file says she should, said she won't be till I'm 28 weeks so my next appointment. Everything else was fine, had a trace of protein in my urine but don't think that's too unusual and she wasnt concerned. Checked blood pressure etc and babys heartbeat was really strong x had a trainee lady in who was super nervous and could find the heartbeat initially but thankfully I could see and feel baby moving around so wasnt panicked lol

Awww congratulations @SnookyPook he's gorgeous 🥹💙 Hope you're recovering well. Enjoy the bubble for the next while 🥰 xx

@Jadeypie glad to hear all looking well, god love the poor trainee, lucky you knew all was good! 🙈

@Supertrooper101 we're heading away to the west of Ireland for a few nights this morning. Had another consultant appointment yesterday so couldn't go until today. BP was ok (due to meds) but I'm in every week now just to be safe (not that I mind that!) all measurements good, she's a couple of days over at 29+1 and measuring just over 3lbs which I never thought we'd see 🥹 Hope the nesting has finally kicked in your end 😂

@SnookyPook congratulations!! He's absolutely gorgeous 😍 glad you had a good experience too x

@SnookyPook huge congrats, so delighted to see this wonderful post/update❤️ enjoy every second with ur gorgeous little bundle of joy.

@Sez281 great to hear all is looking good. Enjoy the west, that’s where I am, imagine we could pass each other and never know😅

@SnookyPook Huge congratulations on his safe arrival! I'm so glad everything went well and surgery was a positive experience.
He is absolutely gorgeous - perfectly formed! Feeling all the feels for you.
Good luck with recovery and the crazy magic of 2 child life ❤️

@Westy22 they are meant to at 25wks lol mine was normal on that one then off the chart at 28 lol (they think she measured it wrong lol) if the scan showed 49centile i wouldnt be too concerned lol are they going to monitor the protein then? Still.dont no what to do about that jab 🤦‍♀️ when did u have yours @Sez281 ? Good that there going to see you weekly too, i bet everything will go smoothly now they are lol no nesting yet lol but i am slowly telling myself off lol

@SnookyPook awww massive congratulations 🎊 he is absolutely gorgeous 😍 well done Mrs xxx

@DmcinT you'd think my geography would be a bit better, we were actually in West Cork not the actual west. I forgot Cork was South 😂 Hope all is good with you and Mollaí 🥰

@SnookyPook how are you doing? Can't believe Samuel is 10 days old now! You home and settled ok? X

Hope @Supertrooper101 and @Westy22 that you guys aren't struggling too much in this heat! 🥵

@xxcxdonxx @HopeAndStrength and @Jadeypie Hope you ladies are all doing ok and enjoying the break if on one xx

I had a lovely staycation, it was probably for the best to be honest as I was worried about my BP levels a lot.

On a slightly scary note at my appointment on Monday babies heart rate was too high (180bpm) so the stand in consultant said he said he was sending me up to triage to be put on a trace machine.. he then went to do her measurements and couldn’t properly because she’s turned transverse so now is measuring a week behind (but we’ve to take it with a pinch of salt given her position) Thankfully by the time he’d gotten the awkward measurements her heart rate had gone down to 140bpm which is normal but of course I was convinced she was in distress or something before the second reading 😢. I’m not usually an anxious person but honestly I'm just wishing the weeks away because I'm so worried all the time.. 30 weeks tomorrow 🙏

@Sez281 ahh that sounds scary, glad baby girl settled back down ❤️ glad you had a nice break though I'm really debating booking something.

26+3 and the heat is starting to get to me not going to lie and work is also starting to really stress me out 😫 I'm tired tho so maybe my weekend off this weekend will chill me out and we have a wedding party to attend so thats nice. Ankles and feet have swelled today tho so hope i can get my heels on 🤣🙈 baby is getting bigger, nearly lost my belly button now 😂 loves transverse position and still very active but I'm not going to lie I'm alsp starting to wish the weeks away now, OH asked me if I'm scared to give birth and I was like nope I'm excited as this is so longgg. X

@Sez281 sentiment we forget how nice a stay cation is! Sounds like little Missy was doing some cardio getting in her new position haha. Glad everything is fine! Xx

@Westy22 working in retail pregnant is hard!! I remember it well! Your pregnancy may drag for you but it's flying for me haha glad all's OK tho xx

I'm just entering my tww done what I could time will tell. I'm just over it all tbh think I've lost abit of hope or am just like well I will soon be seeing a fertility Dr either way xx

@Sez281 did they say what could have made her heart rate high in the 1st place... good your not an anxious person, am the opposite lol mines been transverse every time, only recently shifted to a normal position but doubt it will last lol i must be the only one preferring the heat lol
@Westy22 when do you think youl stop work? Did you book a 4d scan? Youve defo got the right mindset about birth, most new mums are scared lol sod wearing heals, trainers all the way. I cant decide if my legs n ankles r swollen or just fat lol been looking at the delayed cord thing, nhs leave for a minute, or you can asked for optimol which is 5 to 10mins. I had in my head it was at least an hour, what did your goula say?
@Jadeypie whens your appointment 🙂 pointless stressing when you have that coming up so you may as well be un phased by it all, especially when your doing all.you can
