New thread before the other fills and locks!

Hi to all newbies- it's heartbreaking to know we have had loss/es but as we are all here embracing new pregnancies!!!
I'm currently 34 weeks and to be perfectly honest with you it's been such a worry due to all I have dealt with to get thus far!!! Early scans, meetings with consultant appointment, with every pain came worry and this didn't go until I reached 28/29 weeks and I felt I could breath!
I was so scared I only bought small bits to go in hospital bag in the last 2 weeks!!!! The movement is constant sometimes quite painful but I prefer these pains rather then the heartache any day!
I'm sure most would say the same!
Pgp has steped up and so another painful journey to GP for them to confirm I need to stop work now as the pain is getting worse!
Don't quite know how to feel about it all was really hoping to at least get through till feb!!!!!

Very proud to announce he is here! Seth James was born at 7.20am today weighing 7lbs 13oz, double of dd, feeding like a dream and being a good boy! Being kept in tonight as had a massive bleed and my blood pressure is up, feel have been through the wringer but it's so been worth it. A big thanks to all you lovely ladies who helped me through some really horrendous days, may all your pgs be well and best wishes to everyone. will try to add some pics to profile once we're home.

Oh Gem that's wonderful news! Many many congratulations and welcome to Seth :) x

Huge congrats to Gem and welcome to the world Seth James!!!!!

Congratulations gem! Very jealous of you cuddling your new baby, enjoy him and best wishes for a speedy recovery x

Hi can i join? I am pregnant after almost 4 years of trying 1 m/c and a few chemical pregnancy i have worked out i am 4+4 so very early but i feel it will stick this time does not stop me from worrying constantly! I also was in getting my appendix out after ovulating so been exposed to scans and surgery lol but i got 3 strong lines yesterday so cant be bad too bad can it??

Welcome and Congrats - Thefalcon- hope this thread helps you get through these early days/weeks/ months I could not of coped without MN and the support of some of this threads!!!!
I'm on a countdown of weeks now can't wait for it too all be over! And to have a baby after my losses!

Thanks Countmyblessings i am so nervous so i can imagine your relief nearing the end and getting your healthy baby in your arms. I am up all blooming night at the moment, nausea is coming and going as is boob pain i will be 5 weeks tomorrow that is normal though right? I have a ds but as it was 4 years ago i have forgot what is normal the pgs in between were all strange so oh i dont know just rambling hope everyone is ok :)

Thankyou very much everyone, got home yesterday evening, I have added a pic on my profile, think I've done it right so you can have a look at the little munchkin!

Ahhh Gem thats gorgeous!! Makes me so look forward to arrival of our little man in May! Glad you're all well and lots of congratulations once again!!

Gem welcome home with your beautiful Seth James he is lovely!
You keep looking, cuddling and loving every second of it!
I love the smell of new borns its so unique!!!!

Oh Gem he's beautiful! Is it possible to be broody at 35 weeks?!

Gem so glad you are home and all is well.

Falcon congratulations on your bfp, hope this one sticks, my ds is 3.5 so I can relate to not remembering what is normal!

I am lying in bed having what I think are Braxton hicks, never got them last time but just odd tightenings with no pain just discomfort and no regularity, feels weird and a stark reminder of how close I am! 38+2 today, can't wait to be where gem is now! Night x

Advice please ladies, I had a terrible night, up between midnight and 3.30am. TMI now but have been pooing all morning and have just been sick. I feel really weak and need to lie down. With ds my first sign of labour was contractions, could this be labour or is it general exhaustion at end of pregnancy? My son is at nursery all day so one less thing to worry about but don't want to call DH away from work unless necessary and hospital is 40 min drive...

Might go to bed and try to sleep for a bit but any words of reassurance would be great

It certainly sounds like things are getting moving, when I had DS I definitely had a good "clear out" before my water broke and contractions started.

I'd get as much rest as you can just now. Hopefully you won't be waiting too long

Thanks MrsR, was feeling like things were happening last night and this morning but went back to bed for an hour and sickness had passed! Still feeling tight around the bump but don't think anything is imminent, just wishful thinking... Can't really believe I have reached this last stage, don't want anything to go wrong now!

Will use the excuse to rest although that is nigh on impossible, if I am not sleeping anyway I might as well have a newborn to show for it

welcome baby Seth huge congratulations

how's everyone doing?

I've finally got round to putting pics of Lily on my profile she's 6wk 3days now and a lovely baby bfing perfectly gaining weight well (now 11lb3oz) and smiling oh and she's a good sleeper important totally bestowed and every second of anxiety was worth it.

good luck all of you xxx

aww Lilly sounds gorgeous Stateofconfusion, i am ok worrying still but hoping for the best 5+2 today so very early days but i think its going good :)

Thanks state, lily is gorgeous! Im so happy right now, on cloud 9! Take it easy 001 it will be your time before you know it. Hope everyone else is ok. Dp has been absolutely amazing and is pretty much running the house on his own so I can rest and hopefully I'll be back on my feet very soon. Already feeling little better, blood pressure is down and hoping iron rich diet that Dp has me on is rebuilding my iron stores. Will check in again soon ladies til then take care.
