@Starfish762 Yes!! I’m so, SO happy for you, absolutely thrilled! Must be such a relief 💕
@DanceM1 Sorry to hear you’re feeling so rough and so sorry it was your due date, too, that’s not easy. Rest up and be kind to yourself.
I’ve been feeling some sort of movement every day (and husband felt her the other night for the first time!), thanks for asking, but nothing really today. I’ve been organising the spare room (that will be the nursery) though to try and find some wardrobe space to fit in all of the stuff we seem to have acquired for baby already (lots of very lovely gifts and I’ve done some shopping), so have been really active (probably overdoing it). Have now just sat on our bed to rest a bit and to see if I can feel any movements. I know they’re not necessarily everyday at the moment so not worrying particularly but she does seem to get more active when I sit down in the evening so we’ll see 🤞🏼
@Workingmama1 I think that’s a completely normal way to be, I really do, as sad as it is. I’m trying to force myself to do stuff to prepare, even though it feels way too early, just to try and enjoy it a bit. We’ve done some clothes shopping for her and have ordered the pram and today I’ve made space in what will be her wardrobe and hung some stuff up (mainly as I had nowhere to put anything and I’m working from that room at the mo so it was driving me insane) but there’s always that part of my mind going ‘but what if she doesn’t make it to wear the clothes or sleep in the room?’ and ‘how will I cancel the pram if the pregnancy doesn’t progress?’ My husband tells me to not think like that but it’s SO hard. Am just trying to force myself to enjoy it and keep telling myself that the more weeks that go by, the more chance everything will be fine. I read a story on here yesterday about a baby that was born at 23 weeks and survived - that’s only a week away for me, which is quite reassuring (as much as I obviously wouldn’t want baby to be born at 23 weeks!) My friend’s waters also broke at about 22 weeks and her baby held on in there until about 34/36 weeks before he was born! He spent some time in the NICU but was out and perfectly healthy after about a week. So the closer we get, the better our chances are. Plus, and I don’t know if this is true, but I imagine at this stage, we’d be more likely to know if something were wrong in there - waters would break or we’d bleed or movements would stop completely, there would be SOMETHING, not like the last time for us all.
That’s just my really long way of saying it is SO normal for you to be feeling that way, just try to allow yourself a little moment of belief that all might be ok because likeliness is that it will be. Lots of love xxx
Feeling very achey very, very low down today, not like cramps, just a light dull ache. Imagine it’s growth or me overdoing it but just going to rest as best I can for the rest of the evening and wait for some reassurance kicks from baby girl. Where has this weekend gone again?! I really cannot wait for Christmas, mainly just for time off! 🙈
