4th time mums

[Babymama95]

Is anyone else pregnant with their 4th?
I'm 9 weeks pregnant with my fourth and I'm due February 22nd 2021. I have 3 kids - Theodore (Teddy) is 2 (3 in September), Charlotte (Charlie) is 1 (2 in August) and Benjamin (Benny) is 7 months (1 in December). In February I will have 4 under 4.

Not long left at all for you then @kim160790! Sorry to hear about the GD, good luck with the scan, hopefully they don’t have to take her out too soon (although a week less of burping and back pain doesn’t sound too bad 😝).

I’m 27+5 so a long way to go yet. My c-section will probably booked in for around the 2nd March apparently, but I won’t find out for sure until Feb 😱

@PowPurry - you are making me feel a million times better about not having anything sorted yet!

Baby girl born New Year's Eve 🥰🥰

Massive congratulations @kim160790! Did everything go ok?

How is everyone else feeling?

Congratulations @kim160790! Fab news. How are you both?

I’m good @PowPurry. Found out I may have GD which isn’t the best news, but have already made some dietary changes (rye bread is 🤮😂) and am feeling okay about it now. Not as uncomfortable as I have been in previous pregnancies so (and I’m probably jinxing myself) am actually quite enjoying this pregnancy. The SPD has even improved thanks to exercises and a belt, have managed a few very, very slow jogs.

How are you feeling PowPurry?

Ah I have my blood test for that on Friday! I’ve never had it before. Did you? At least you’ll get extra scans now to check growth etc!

Funny you should say about being comfortable, literally today all I’ve been saying is “gosh I feel big now” ha! He’s well and truly growing in there. Which is great. Though I did have a big shock yesterday, I weighed myself for the first time ever during pregnancy, and by some miracle I’ve only put on a stone I’ve been eating terribly. (I was big to start with) stocked up on veggies in the shop today and going to try and cut down on the sweet stuff now, better late than never I suppose.

Glad to hear you are feeling good! I can’t complain really, my spd which I was worried about how early it started, was bad at one point, but like you seems ok now? Strange.

He still has active days and quiet days. I actually contacted the midwife about it last week and she had me in. He sounded great and she reiterated they wouldn’t properly monitor until 28+ weeks. I think this may just be his “pattern”. Combined with the anterior placenta I’ve told myself not to panic on said quieter days as I was getting really anxious about it!

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow and can’t believe how quick it’s going, I’m really trying to savour every second as it’s definitely our last.

No I’ve never had GD before so was pretty stressed out at first. I had plenty of tests for it when pregnant with the others because they were all so big. Strangely this one is predicted to be a lot smaller (only 8lbs) and now I’ve got it 🙄. I already get scans at least once a month (we’re in France) so I don’t think I’ll end up getting any more, just more blood tests 🙃

Lucky you with the weight gain! I have definitely put on more than that 😂. I think I’m around the one and a half mark.

I’m 31 weeks on Wednesday, and I find out in a month the date for my csection. Cannot believe it’s so late in the day for finding out 😩. My mum was supposed to be coming over to help with the kids and to meet the baby, but with things the way they are with Covid, she won’t be able to come. I’m pretty disappointed as it’ll be the first baby she’s not met the day they were born, but am hoping the vaccines mean she can come over during the summer.
