Hi ladies new thread for all us August Due! Now on thread 3. Newbies always welcome.

@MamaFirst morning!! Yeah I had quite a good sleep actually but I’ve woken up with the WORST headache I’ve ever had in my life🤕🤕

Good luck today @firstmummytobe
I hope you manage to stay occupied and relaxed today and get plenty of rest! I imagine the day will go slowly at times!

@firstmummytobe aw that's the worst! Maybe it's tension? Have some paracetamol and chocolate and take it easy today.

@Firstmummytobe...I’m so excited for you gd luck relax you and your body will no what to do when it’s time 🥰 xxx

Good luck @Firstmummytobe. Makes it seem real now people are starting to have their babies. Better think about packing my hospital bag(not planning on leaving the house though) x

Thanks for everybodies kind messages, but unfortunately on today of all days supposed to be the most special day, my partners test results came back to say he’s also a carrier of cystic fibrosis, meaning that the possibilities of the baby having it are really high so it could change the plans for tonight but I will keep you all updated 💔💔

@Firstmummytobe i'm so sorry to hear that! Have they said what that might mean for tonight?

@Firstmummytobe Really hope that whatever hhappens later is best of a tricky and difficult situation. You're dealing with so much and doing amazing.

@Firstmummytobe you never fail to amaze me with your strength, keep all of that strength for tonight to deliver your gorgeous little one and you can face the challenges ahead ❤️

Thankyou very much all your kind words mean so much to me💙

Soooo just walked on to delivery ward and the midwife says, oh by the way we changed the rules today at 12 o’clock your partner is allowed in with you 😁😁😁
I’m beyond ecstatic I’m so so happy he can be by my side ❤️

@Firstmummytobe FINALLY something is going your way. Let's hope this is the start of lots of positive things happening for you!
Good luck x

@Firstmummytobe What absolutely amazing news!! Which hospital are you in? So pleased for you x

@Firstmummytobe..ooh what amazing news huni good luck thinking of you xxx

@Firstmummytobe that’s great news, so glad your OH is able to be there with you. Sending you lots of positive thoughts xx

Has anyone looked at (or tried if you've already had a kid) collection cups for letdown milk? I've not read anything about them really before and just wondering about people's experience, or recommendations.

@weescottishwife not sure if this is what you mean but I've bought a Haakaa.

@WeeScottishWife I've bought a haakaa too

@Firstmummytobe what hospital are you in? It’s so lovely you can have him with you

Thanks everyone!! We are the Liverpool women’s hospital xx

I've bought a Haakaa too after it being recommended on my NCT course - it was only cheap off amazing so figured I wouldn't have too much to lose!

Another one who has bought a Haakaa just to see if it works or not - think it was £12 on amazon so no loss if it's no good! A friend has just offered me a Medela Swing breast pump too, which will be a huge saving if I get on with it.
