Just thought I'd better start a new thread for those of you who would like to see updates before the old one is totally full.

All still good here! I've been a bit low on iron but the tablets REALLY don't agree with me. So I've started just taking one in the morning with orange juice, and having a spoonful of Floridix in the afternoon and making an effort to eat spinach and red meat.
I've been feeling baby OMG moving around a lot more now he's getting bigger and stronger, which is lovely although slightly alarming at times!

We've probably got a maximum of 7 weeks to go now as I understand the drs are not keen for older mums to go much over 39 weeks. Eeeek.
Will keep you all posted.

I didn't see your original post OMG but just spent an hour or so catching up... I'm sending huge hugs via this post and hope everything is going well...

Good luck

SunsetandCupcakes · 26/07/2022 20:47

I am so glad to read other mnetters are as invested as I am. If you write it down it sounds batshit 'I'm really excited, nervous and invested in the arrival of a baby due to a woman that I have never and will never meet, a woman who I don't even know their name but that feels part of my life, and is someone that I have much more interest and care for than some of my own extended family'

NothingIsCertain · 26/07/2022 20:53

Oh OP I feel I have gone around every emotion with you since your very first post.

I hope LO is either here snuggled in your arms, or not too far away!

BeeandG · 26/07/2022 20:57

Exciting times. Good luck. We are all rooting for you.

Nottogetapenny · 26/07/2022 21:03

Dita73 · 27/07/2022 01:35

Anyone else not going to bed?!

Omgwhatthehell · 27/07/2022 02:17

Hi everyone. Thank you for the well wishes.
I’m about to go onto a hormone drip as the gel hasn’t progressed things much.
I will probably sign off again now until I have actual baby news.
