I'm here

DuchessofPemberley · 19/11/2020 17:55

I’m new, but due in January too! Hope it’s ok if I join. Didn’t join the previous threads because I was afraid I’d jinx things after a previous miscarriage 🤦🏼‍♀️

I'm new too, but also due in January. Hope that's ok? X

MoonDelay · 19/11/2020 17:58

Me too I'll join in 👋

footprintsintheslow · 19/11/2020 18:19

Hello everyone new!!! Lovely to see new people.
I'm due 10th Jan but there's a threat of c section a week early for me.

3rd child plus two miscarriages before now. Hope you are all well.

loveacupoftea18 · 19/11/2020 18:24

I'm due 2nd Jan but have a few weird things going on which might mean they bring it forward. Hopefully not a Christmas baby?!!

This is child number 2 for us following a few miscarriages. Excited but feel very unprepared compared to first!

WhoUsedMyName · 19/11/2020 18:29

Hey ladies.
@footprintsintheslow I'm the 10th too Grin is anyone suffering with spd? I am soooooo bad

WhoUsedMyName · 19/11/2020 18:42

Has anyone started taking raspberry leaf tea?

Skyla01 · 19/11/2020 19:00

Hey can I join? Due 20th Jan, first baby. Feeling very tired after not doing very much today, I'm very glad to be working from home!

@WhoUsedMyName I'm planning to start raspberry tea but not sure when to start. I'm 31 weeks just now. Maybe 33 or 34 weeks?

WhoUsedMyName · 19/11/2020 19:02

I started drinking it at 31 weeks I'm
Now 32+4 but it's ment to take a while to get into your system. I wonder if it actually works

LorennaS · 19/11/2020 19:03

Hey all! I’m new too. Due 16th Jan with first baby 🙂

Skyla01 · 19/11/2020 19:40

@WhoUsedMyName I'm not sure if it works... probably not?! But I quite like the taste so it can't hurt to try! Even though I'm sceptical if it works or not I'm a bit scared to start drinking it too soon. Are you just drinking 1 cup a day? Will you up it?

footprintsintheslow · 19/11/2020 19:40

What's the raspberry tea all about?

loveacupoftea18 · 19/11/2020 19:54

Bugger I meant to start raspberry leaf last week. Must have a cup tonight!

2babymumma · 19/11/2020 20:32

Coming over too

Grumpy19 · 19/11/2020 20:48

Hi. Can I join? Expecting DC4 in January.
I ordered Raspberry leaf tea and capsules last night. Going to start taking them sooner this pregnancy as I know I'll be induced at 40 weeks if I haven't had him before that.

DuchessofPemberley · 19/11/2020 21:24

@WhoUsedMyName

Hey ladies. *@footprintsintheslow* I'm the 10th too Grin is anyone suffering with spd? I am soooooo bad
Me unfortunately! 🙋🏻‍♀️

The pain is really bad, I am hoping to be referred for some physio to help with it. Sorry to hear you’d is bad at the moment!

SunSparkle · 19/11/2020 21:30

Welcome new people! I'm due with my first baby on the 28th Jan :)

VeeVeeBee77 · 19/11/2020 23:21

Hi ladies, long time lurker but figured at 32 weeks it was a good time to join the party and say hello! Pregnant with my first and both excited and nervous about it all.

MnM156 · 19/11/2020 23:55

Was due on 1st Jan but I expect to have an induction in next 3 weeks; sometime mid Dec due to growth issues. Still haven't started packing my hospital bag!

PopsicleHustler · 20/11/2020 05:59

Good morning ladies....

Hope you're all doing well.

Due jan 18th but measuring a week ahead. This is my 5th baby. I already have two boys and two girls and this will be our 3rd girl....

Hows everyone's pregnancy going?
Got everything?
Morning sickness subsided?
Constant Braxton hicks like me?
Birth plan sorted or just go with the flow?

greenette · 20/11/2020 06:05

Hi everyone

I'm 33 weeks today.

I've been taking raspberry leaf tabs and tea since last week.

Does anyone have any advice on evening primrose oil orally and vaginally and has anyone also ate dates?

footprintsintheslow · 20/11/2020 06:42

We one to everyone new hope you are all feeling well and calm.

@MnM156 what are the growth issues you are having? My baby is huge apparently and there were others on the first thread that were measuring small and very big.

@PopsicleHustler morning sickness has gone thank god as that was the worst for me and the early exhaustion. No BH here yet but lots of movement.
I don't bother with a birth plan as I personally am happy to go with the flow and do as I'm told. Also I don't want to set myself up for disappointment it's looking like a section now anyway due to placenta previa. Bit nervous about that and a bit tearful over it. I'll know for sure in two weeks.

What part of the world is everyone in? I'm in Wales.

footprintsintheslow · 20/11/2020 06:42

*welcome to everyone new I meant.

Perfect28 · 20/11/2020 06:45

Why are you discussing ways to induce Labour this early on?
