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.

Congratulations 🎊 well done OMG!

Two bits of advice,
Everything is a phase, they come and go, don't stress they'll eventually out grow it.
The next year or two will go in a flash, so get the camera 📷 out.

Congratulations, he is beautiful!

PyongyangKipperbang · 27/07/2022 23:14

Happy Birth Day to you all from another MN Auntie!

Congratulations! Wonderful update!!!

Reigateforever · 28/07/2022 00:26

Congratulations. Wishing you both long healthy, happy lives. 💜

I have been watching your threads since the beginning, loving the ‘good’ news at every post.

Fraaahnces · 28/07/2022 00:28

Congratulations!!! He’s just perfect!!! I am so pleased you are both happy and healthy. I had a similar story with being refused IVF, and then developed a tummy bug on my honeymoon. It just wouldn’t go away and now my “tummy bug” has just turned 18 (OMG!). About 18 months later, I tipped out a heap of “off” champagne on NYE and then threw up all over the car the next morning. My twins are about to turn 16!

JacquelineCarlyle · 28/07/2022 00:53

Oh wow! Congratulations! He's beautiful! What wonderful news. So pleased for you all! Flowers

MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot · 28/07/2022 01:05

He is so beautiful and will be so loved. Enjoy your little family and congratulations x

Bellagio40 · 28/07/2022 01:18

He is SO gorgeous!!! Congratulations!

hi just found out im pregnant monday only around 4/5 weeks, im 37 almost 38, been having a lot of cramping on and off and thought it was my period but was feeling nauseous so thats why i took a test i wasn’t expecting a positive as ive had negatives for months so still in shock ive taken 3 tests so far and waiting for some more to arrive, not sure if the pain in my lower stomach is something to worry about or if im starting with spd sooner, i had it with two previous pregnancies, not contacted the midwife yet is it too soon? should i wait a bit longer?

OMG it was positive! Omgwhatthehell is having a baby

Omgwhatthehell · 27/07/2022 20:14

He is here! Arrived about 4 hours ago, weighing just over 7lb.
I didn’t have to have an emergency caesarean in the end, but needed a little bit of help.
DH and I are totally besotted.

He’s Beautiful!
I hope he has a long and contented life 💯💕
well done 👍👶

SpidersAreShitheads · 28/07/2022 02:27

I can neither confirm nor deny that I'm having a bit of a happy cry.....

He is beautiful. And I am indescribably happy for you both. It's all just so, so lovely.

Enjoy your wonderful, gorgeous surprise baby and immerse yourself in every incredible moment. Much love.

PS - these two threads absolutely HAVE to go in Mumsnet Classics.
