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.

Goodness, saw this trending but hadn’t realised how close you are now! Wasn’t expecting it to be a live birth thread. You’ll have your little boy in your arms today! (Or tomorrow.)

wishing you so much luck for a lovely birth

ponlm · 26/07/2022 14:12

Good luck! This is so exciting, I've been following along for a while!

Gives me some hope after 3 years of TTC #1 without success!

SpidersAreShitheads · 26/07/2022 14:13

Thinking of you OP! I too have goosebumps and have followed your wonderful story since the start.

Hope all goes well for you this afternoon - and I look forward to hearing an update whenever you are ready ❤️

I have an update!
My waters broke at 4am this morning at 39 +2. I called the delivery suite and they told me to come in. And I’ve been here since, being monitored. I’m just waiting to be induced.
We haven’t told any friends and family yet as I’d rather just let them all know when he’s safely delivered.
Wish me luck!

Fabulous!

PragmaticWench · 26/07/2022 14:27

Just think that this time last year you had no idea of all this to come. Shows our lives can change in unexpected ways, for good or bad.
