Xxx

Hi everyone found the new thread, & just wanted to say good luck to you all & I majorly need to catch up on old thread.

I had my son at home at 4:16pm on Friday after waters going at 8am & contractions ramping up at 2pm.

Caspian, 8lbs 2.

Hope those with scans coming up are doing well.

Just a quick post as in between feeds.

Massive congrats dolerite!!!!! What a cutie

Congratulations dolerite! Beautiful name.

Thanks sayit
Congratulations on your son dolerite

Congratulations dolorite!!!! Good luck tomorrow smurf. We went to visit friends and their 2 weeks old baby today. They had many mcs before having their little boy so it was extra special. We still haven't told anyone apart from close family - it just seems so awkward to announce out of the blue! I'm dreading telling work - it's just going to be so awkward. I need to read up on when the latest I can tell them is.

Thanks for new thread Bec

Big congrats dolorite

Catching up now!

24+1 - got a little kicker!

smurf thinking of you tomorrow. dolorite congratulations! bec exciting you have a date for induction. Thank you everyone for your comments. legend you hit the nail on the head, our heads are spinning. In the space of 2 hours to go from "let's see if there's a viable pregnancy" to a multiple pregnancy and becoming aware of all that that means. It feels ungrateful to mention that here given everyone's losses. Also there is precious little information/chat about it. I'm just over 13 weeks now, explains why my trousers have felt much tighter this time around!

I've fallen off the thread; learning to breastfeed takes up all the time in the day and night. At just over 1 week old our little one is over his birth weight and doing brilliantly. I'm finding it all a huge learning curve but we're getting there. As requested I've attached a picture

Congratulations again Dino. Who's next? Purple?

Hope everyone else is doing okay, it is lovely to see so many people supporting each other through the early weeks. Triplets on the thread - amazing!

Congratulations dolerite, love the name too .
Good luck today smurf, am keeping everything crossed for you.

pooch I have to officially tell work by 26wks, I work in public sector so don't know if that's a legal standard or just us.
My line manager knows (so I get free time of anti natal appts!) and a couple of friends but none of the other staff. I can't be dealing with a big announcement and all the squealing that will involve so I don't really know how to bring it up.

Glad you are both doing well nasch, I found a local breastfeeding peer support group invaluable with DD, I was lucky enough not to have any major problems but it was really nice to have somewhere to go each week with other mums going through the same things and to sound out all the minor issues, helped me suss out what was 'normal' or not. Helped me make some mum friends too.

grain, perfectly understandable you are feeling overwhelmed, I imagine excited and terrified at the same time. All the worry times 3 now. Hope you manage to find some good support resources for multiples.

Ah 10th April is your induction date xxbec! I'm not very up with the terminology lol.

On that note what is PPH?

Naschtze - he is gorgeous! Looks really content!!

Smurf all the best for your scan today, will be thinking of you!!

First day of mat leave today and let's see how my day pans out.

Mamas and papas delivery today but dh said not to open anything for a week or two yet as it won't be as 'fresh' got appt at 2, first in day assessment for the CTG (which they apparently do for diabetics twice weekly at the end) and then the diabetes clinic.

Not sure if I am next??

36+3

I also had to tell work by 26 weeks. I told my manager at 16 weeks and a couple of friends at around 17 weeks. I just let word get around itself, didn't want an announcement. My team all probably knew around 19 weeks. My bump ramped up and other people on the floor just guessed which was fine. After two miscarriages I didn't feel ready to announce at all.

Thinking of you today Smurf. I really, really hope it was just a blip and you get some good news.

Grain - how exciting!!!! sure it is quite overwhelming as well (understatement I know....!)

12 week scan today - have been a bit nervous about it all weekend but not much longer to wait now. Have developed a bit of a 'what will be will be' attitude which is helping me now but won't be any help at all if it is bad news.

Morning all...

Thinking of all who have appointments and scans today.

Lovely to see pics of gorgeous babies!

So the dry heaving has started. I didn't actually feel nauseous I just coughed and then couldn't stop heaving after. Then I thought about the burgers I ate for dinner and it made me heave again!

Starving too ALL the time!

7+1 today and taking each day as it comes

dolerite and nasch gorgeous babies both, congratulations!

littlepooch from what I've read you have to tell work 15 weeks before your due date?

popcorn good luck with your scan today, let us know how you get on.

smurf will be thinking of you today, hope everything goes well.

13+1 today and still suffering with nausea, if anything it had got better and now back to where I started at 6 weeks again!

I'm also very breathless a lot, is that something I should be concerned about?

I've told 3/4 people at work and hoping that word will just get round to the rest eventually, either that or I will look so pregnant in a couple of weeks that there'll be no guessing or speculation any more!

Olivers I am seriously breathless too, going up one flight of stairs and my heart is pounding. Feel like a seriously unfit smoker or something! I meant to speak to dr about it when I saw her on friday but totally forgot. I think it is fairly normal but it's horrible. Check you're wearing a good fitting bra as that made a bit of difference for me as my old ones felt like they were crushing me.

Wow this thread is buzzing along quickly lol

Yeah purps IOL (induction of labour)
And PPH (post partum haemorrhage)
So hoping around the 10th, the consultant from the diabetic team said he was happy to go for 38wks due to his impending largeness and the diabetes and apparently there's other high risks lol

How's your diabetes going purple?
They wanted me on insulin but I tried soooo hard and didn't have any fails in the week so he said to carry on with what I'm doing and he'll see me in 2 weeks, I could t get out of there quick enough lol

Grain I'm overwhelmed a trio!! I bet your hubby can't wait to tell all the boys that it's his amazing sperm that got your pregnant thrice rofl

Popcorn I'm sorry your going through this anxious wait, it's horrible for you, I've got my fingers crossed for you x

Alb your so amazing after all you've been through to have had the strength to go again and I'm just so annoyed for you that things haven't ran as smoothly as they could have, knowledge is power (mostly) and at least you have that on your side to aide you in what lies ahead, sending hugs xxx

Oh and I think its

Purple 36ish
Me 33ish
Jpeg 33ish
Sah
New shoes
Knorrig

I feel like shite today, baked being very quiet and he's freaking me out a bit, another symptom of an anterior placenta ladies, so if anyone is struggling feeling movements that's a possible reason, I didn't feel this little man until 21/23 weeks and he's my 6th child.
I have terrible heartburn/acid reflux and I've got not one scrap of energy.

Hubby started our bedroom last nite but he's no good at wallpapering and I would have let him have a bash but it's Laura Ashley £35 a roll so I reluctantly had a go and managed about 6 lengths before I had to throw in the towel, nightmare.
Gunna have another go this evening, I sooo need to sort everything out, my bags done and the baby's bits I've decided to take are washed and mostly packed, I hate the feeling of being so underactive and having so much to do.

All the ladies with scans this week and soon sending you luck and hugs.
You just have to get thru each day, there's no magic way, you just have to keep the faith...somehow 😩

Popcorn hope the scan goes ok.

Feeling like I'm in need of a weekend this morning! Busy week at work so nowhere to hide and sleep.

Thought my symptoms would start tailing off now but doesn't seem like it. Sore boobs, heartburn, backache, tiredness. Just pleased no heaving. 10 days to go until my 12 week scan. It cannot come quickly enough as I can feel the scaniexty starting to swirl after last Wednesdays positive one.

Oliver and imgonna, sounds like heart palpitations. I've been having them too, getting breathless and heart racing, even when I'm
Lying down for example. They did an ECG and said my heart is beating fast but within rhythm so that's good. Very common in pregnancy. They did give me the 24 hour cassette thing and I'm awaiting the results but that was just totally precautionary.

Do mention it but am sure it's nothing to worry about.

Popcorn good luck!

Xxbec gosh am I next? That's scary! The diabetes is going ok-ish but I'm
Struggling to eat during the day and then I binge eat at night and that's when the sugar is at it's worst. I'm up to 6 units on the insulin now. Going to the clinic this afternoon. The baby is breech so they mentioned doing a c section at 39 weeks possible. That's around 24 March...,

Congratulations dolerite and nasch. 2 absolutely gorgeous boys. I love the name dolerite.

Its going to be be a big run of boys in the next few months as IIRC all the next people due are having boys (including me).

Told work last week just after my contract was made permanent and I feel a little less anxious. I'm pretty obviously PG (32 weeks) but no one had even suspected. Obviously my usually lumpy and shapeless figure meant that just one more lump didn't seem unusual!

I'm trying to catch up a bit on this thread so sorry if I miss anyone.

grain congratulations on your scan - what a surprise!

xbec you have my sympathies regarding the wall papering. We are in the middle of DIY stuff too and I get really frustrated that I can't manage as much as I used to although 6 lengths of wallpaper sounds like you managed to do lots. I hate wallpapering though and have vowed never to do it again even if it mean spending hours filling and sanding walls to get them smooth enough to paint.

good luck with the scans popcorn and smurf.

Ants I nearly forgot about you, there's not much between you me and jpeg x
How have you keeping xx

nasch - gorgeous picture! Hope you are enjoying loads of snuggles. Congratulations!

It sounds like we are going to have a busy few weeks and months on this thread with all the new arrivals!

Oh gosh I am having heart palpitations! I suddenly feel like my heart is racing and like I've drunk a load of caffeine. I keep asking DH to take my pulse. I had this when pregnant with DD and it was nothing but may mention it again to the midwife at my next appt.

I am more than confused now re telling work. I looked on gov.uk and it said you have to inform your employer 15 weeks before your due date. Fine, I thought, I'll tell my boss after my 20 week scan and just let word filter out from him as I'm not one for big announcements. Then read the pregnancy policy at work and it says that I have to tell them by the end of my 15th week of pregnancy? So that would be next week for me? Can that be legal? I really don't want to tell him now, it's still so early to me and I'm still v anxious.

Had a mini freak out when I saw my name on the next up list, hehe!!

I remember having the heart thing at about 16 weeks and I felt like I could even hear it beating!!

My work is also by 25 weeks so I wouldn't have thought you had to tell them yet littlepooch maybe the policy is mis-worded so it reads the other way round? Or do you work somewhere where you'd have to tell them from a health & safety view?

Smurf been thinking of you today. Hope it was just a mistake on the scan or a little blip and it's all ok now.

popcorn hope your scan went well too.

I'm 34 weeks tomorrow so still a little while to go for me! Who knows whether I'll be early or late... statistically I'll be late so that's what I keep thinking!!

For those who are breathless I had that for a while in the second trimester and now I'm breathless just because I'm so heavy!!

Nasch such a gorgeous pic!! Glad you're both doing well.

I had such a bad nights sleep and ended up eating a chocolate spread covered bagel (so healthy!) and watching the good wife from 2.30 and then have had the longest day at work... I'm so tired! Still probably won't sleep tonight!

If I had a pound for every time someone asked me how long I have left... I would be a millionaire!!!

Aah Jpeg you poor thing, the not sleeping thing is horrible, it's not too bad for me yet but my sis who's 35 weeks now says a full nights sleep is a thing of the past!
