Anybody else Due January 2021? I'm due 31st! X

[Floulou20]

@TTC24 What a beautiful name 🥰
We're doing great thank you!
He will be 12 weeks next Thursday, I can't believe it. They really do grow so quickly x

[TTC24]

@Floulou20 Me and baby are fine thank you! We've named her Orla. Hope you and your little one are okay🥰

[Floulou20]

Congratulations @TTC24 🥰 it's the most amazing feeling isn't it! I can't believe we've had our babies! How fast does time go. Hope your doing well 💕x

[TTC24]

Sorry I haven't been on for a while!! Congratulations @Floulou20 and @Countrygirlmummy!! My little girl was born 19TH January 3 weeks early! Weighing 7lb7oz!! She's doing absolutely amazing I've never felt love like it🥰🥰🥰

[Floulou20]

@Countrygirlmummy oh bless! So tiny I bet he's like a little doll 💙 what did he weigh at birth?
Yeah all is going great thankyou we're trying to make good use of our daily walk it's a bit draining being stuck in the house all the time but he absolutely loves being in the carrier on a walk. How are you finding lockdown with a newborn?
No I'm bottle feeding now, I did start off breast feeding but it didn't go very well. But he's happy and that makes me happy 😁 x

[Countrygirlmummy]

*birth weight

[Countrygirlmummy]

@Floulou20 aw gosh, they grow so quickly. I’m trying to soak up every precious moment whilst he’s so diddy. It won’t be long and he’ll be a chunk too! He’s more than broth weight now which is great, still a tiny 6lb 7oz 🤣 hope all is going well? Are you breast feeding? xx

[Floulou20]

@Countrygirlmummy That sounds perfect! I'm so glad you had a positive birth 💕 hopefully feeding will start to get easier, but it's great he's piling on the weight!
We are doing great thankyou, he's 6 weeks old today I don't know where the time has gone! Loves his milk he's a little chunk at around 11lb now, he's just fitting into his 0-3 clothes now where has my little newborn gone 🙈 X

[Countrygirlmummy]

@Floulou20 thank you 😊 oh my, it’s just the best!!! ❤️ We are so in love 🥰 doing well thank you, very natural, positive birth and my recovery is going great. Issues with feeding and latch, tongue tie being looked at soon. We’ll get there. He’s piling on weight with top ups 🙏 how is all with you and your baby? xx

[Floulou20]

@Countrygirlmummy that's fab news congratulations 💙 it's an amazing feeling isn't it. How are you doing? X

[Countrygirlmummy]

Hey ladies, how is everyone? I’ve long forgotten all your due dates?! Has everyone popped by now? I was due 27th Jan and my baby Toby Arrived on the early hours of Tuesday 26th!! Contractions started in the Sunday night. We are so in love with him. Hope everyone is ok xx

[Pol96]

@Floulou20 that's so good! I bet its very surreal actually having the baby at the end of it all!

He's head down and low, but not engaged 😩 measuring well and they let me record his heartbeat so my oh could hear it! Now to keep bouncing on that ball to get him out!

[Floulou20]

@Pol96 Thankyou so much 🥰 we're doing great Thankyou feeling much better every day! Still can't believe he's here ☺️

It's so exciting not long at all now, he could be here any day woo! Oh that ball is the best thing since sliced bread 🤣
How did the midwife app go?

[Pol96]

@Countrygirlmummy we've been organising everything this week too! Moved our room around to make more space for his next to me yesterday.. Can't believe we're almost at the end! I'm so impatient now 😅 hope your appointment tomorrow goes well too xx

[Countrygirlmummy]

@Floulou20 oh gosh what a shock to start it all off, glad you had great care and all is well now for you. Such lovely news. Yes not long now, getting very excited and also still nervous about how the birth will go. We’ve been organising all his clothes, bedding and car seat etc.
@Pol96 woo almost full term now! I’m thinking the same really hope he’s not turned as he’s been head down for my last few appointments. Hope all goes well for you. I’ve got my 36 week appointment tomorrow. xx

[Pol96]

Omg @Floulou20! Congratulations!! Hope you're both doing well?
I'm almost 37 weeks now and am so ready for him to be out 😂 got a mw appointment this afternoon, really hoping he's starting to engage, going to be bouncing on my ball all day 😂 x

[Floulou20]

@Countrygirlmummy thankyou ☺️ I'm doing really well thankyou! Still quite sore but keeping on top of pain meds!
I woke up with quite heavy bleeding on the morning of Christmas Eve so I went to triage they got me in for a scan and found out I had something called vasa previa where the cords blood vessels were trapped underneath his head quite close to the cervix so they wanted to deliver him by c section that day was all a bit crazy! But the care I received was amazing really happy with everything 😁
Oh wow so close now, how are you feeling? X

[Countrygirlmummy]

@Floulou20 congratulations!!! Aww little Charlie, how sweet 😍 how are you doing? May I ask why it went to emergency c-section? Merry Christmas to everyone on here too!! I’m almost 36 weeks 😬 the time is flying xx

[Floulou20]

Hi ladies hope your all well and enjoyed Christmas!
A little update from me
Baby boy has arrived 🥰 he came at 38+4 on Christmas Eve born by emergency c section weighing 7lb13 we've called him Charlie 💙
Not long now can't wait to hear how your all getting on x

[Floulou20]

Hiya ladies! Hope your well
I'm 33 weeks now can't believe how fast it's gone by! Getting quite uncomfortable on a night now too
We are almost ready I've nearly finished packing my hospital bag just a few bits to pop in last minute, baby's hospital bag is all done 😊
I've done a little bit of a birth plan, more like little notes of what I would like to happen. Discussing that with my midwife at my 36 week appointment 😁
Can't believe we are all nearly there now, how exciting! I'm so excited to meet him I keep wondering what he will look like/if he will have lots of hair etc 🥰

[Pol96]

Hi ladies! Long time since we've posted in here!
I'm almost 31 weeks now, apart from packing my hospital bag I think I'm all ready! I need to continue washing all his clothes but the stuff for his hospital bag is all packed and ready to go. I'm getting super impatient and quite uncomfortable now! Can't wait to meet my little boy 💙

As for a birth plan, I think im going to do a kind of preference list but I'm very aware that things might not go to plan.. The unit I would have been giving birth in is now a covid ward so..

[PopsicleHustler]

Hello country girl, I'm 31 weeks now but measuring 32 weeks. Have organised through the bags and boxes we put away from having 2 girls already for our 3rd girl due 18th Jan. Only thing left to organise is the double pram which is coming next week. The lovely Hauck Duett. Very excited. And newborn nappies. Whoop whoop chicken soup! The end is in sight



Anyone else preparing any birth plans or just going with the flow?????

[Countrygirlmummy]

Hi everyone I hope everyone is well, just realised I haven’t been on here since September!! Where is the time going? I’m 30 weeks next week 😱 we have bought our pushchair, we got the Nuna Mixx Next, god that wasn’t a straight forward item to choose! So many options!!! We’ve got a Moses basket for little one, our house is progressing nicely and we are just about at the point we can start to get the nursery ready, eeeek, I still find it’s not fully sunk in although he’s definitely reminding me with big kicks that he’s cooking nicely 😂 xx

[Floulou20]

@Pol96 oh lovely I love the look of the ocarro!
We ended up ordering the tutti bambini cozee next to me and then icandy peach for the travel system. So excited to get them 😁 x

[Pol96]

@Floulou20 it helps so much with the anxiety! We've gone for the maxi cosi iora next to me crib and I think we're getting the Ocarro bundle (after a lot of looking!) What about you?
I've got a few small bits already too (clothes, blankets etc) x
