I'm on baby number 6, currently 21 weeks and it's not going brilliantly. Ive got a multitude of silly things the matter with me. When i try google what's normal for your 6th baby all I can find it what to expect in month 6. So today ive been plagued with Braxton hicks on top of everything else. I was told from about baby 3 I had an irritable uterus, so just climbing the stairs sets them off. Also keen to hear of births that went well. The drs are scaring me half to death and due to my rapid labours I want a home birth. Feeling very bullied. So mothers of more than the usual hit me with it, I'll take it from you! Grin

extra Flowers so sorry to hear about your Dad and how poorly you are keeping - you are having a really tough time of it.

I am expecting #6 and am 22 weeks. Feel not too bad now but generally get really ill towards the end - something to look forward too.....

I had stomach surgery as a baby and have also had 3 sections - have a lot of scar tissue so my body doesn't stretch to accommodate a baby, meaning baby doesn't have much room so squashes all my organs. On the plus side I never get very big, so don't look pregnant - just in lots of pain!!

Sending you best wishes and hope things get better x

I just gave birth to my 6th. it was my first induction but went quickly like my other labours. I was put on drip this time to make sure my uterus contracted and I didn't hemorrhage as was told that was a risk after 5 previous births and my low iron levels. if anything I've bounced back quicker this time. my body felt normal quicker. not sure if that maybe down to a totally different pregnancy and a 9 year gap Smile
