April 2021 - The Last Stretch

[drumst1ck]

Made a new thread for us as we were coming to the end of the previous one!

@tinatsarina congratulations!

@drumst1ck I'm 39+2 and also eager for baby to make an arrival! Had more period cramps last night so was hoping it was the start of contractions but they've eased this morning. Felt really emotional past few days, hungry and not sleeping well, so I can totally relate. How many weeks are you?

@drumst1ck just sww

@tinatsarina congratulations!

I'm done too just want to feel more mobile again! Only 38 weeks so feel I have a long way to go. Also terrified about birth again to be honest.

@BaaHumbugg I'd definitely recommend hypnobirthing. It has really helped and given me lots of techniques to use in birth. The Positive Birth Company on YouTube is good.

Thanks everyone!

@BaaHumbugg I was 38 + 5. Honestly this recovery was brutal as the section was brutal.

Congratulations @tinatsarina

Xxx

Bless you, hope you're feeling better now!

@rainbow95 thankyou, I'm hoping my body will know what to do more this time around!

Congratulations @tinatsarina.

It's all very exciting on this thread now with all the baby news!

Getting totally fed up at 38+3 and feeling insanely huge (baby is measuring over 97th centile).

Congratulations to those that have left the pregnancy train.

Hi everyone,

Baby girl arrived this morning!
It was a sad experience for me, was induced 3 times (all three failed) a failed epidural (was in agony), then baby was born via c section l.
We’re so in love!

@tinatsarina I'm so happy for you

Although I'm so jealous of all the baby news. I'm 38+6 today. Midwife didnt give me a sweep, she said they'll do it at my hospital appt tmrw so hopefully that'll get things moving

Congrats everyone on all the baby news! I hope you all have smooth recoveries and enjoy all the cuddles.

Not too much longer for the rest of us. We can do it. (at least that's what I keep trying to tell myself...)

Congratulations @tinatsarina xxx

Congratulations to all the new mummies! Lovely baby news 😍

Still hanging on here and no date for ELCS yet...37+2 so I fear i may be the last one standing! ELCS tbc sometime before the 26th...

Congratulations @tinatsarina!!

Congratulations @reimah!

Loving all this baby news!

@TheViewOutsideMyWindow with my first I was due on 31 Oct, was on a birth board on a different mum site, I was the last but one to have baby!

Congratulations ladies!

Major congrats @LuckygoLucy and @tinatsarina. Katie is a gorgeous name! So happy for you both and hope all is going well.

Believe I or not I am just being discharged tonight, we have been having a few issues with feeding and jaundice, now found out baby has a tongue tie so will be hopefully getting that dealt with soon! It’s going to be another adjustment for the little one, I think she thinks we live here!

Hope everyone is ok, thread is busy with news , lots of new little people!

Congrats to @reimah too, great news!

Congratulations @reimah ! X

Baby boy born by ELCS on Tuesday morning! All well and we stayed in one night and home yesterday evening!

Congratulations to everyone on all the news so far and look forward to more!xx

Yay @BabyB22021 more wonderful news! Congratulations x

Congratulations to @reimah, @BabyB22021, @LuckygoLucy and @tinatsarina! So much new baby news 😊. I’m starting to be really fed up of being pregnant... 39+3 now and very aware that I “could” ask for an induction when I see my consultant on Saturday, but really prefer to hang on for a spontaneous labour. Although it would be a lot easier to have the baby during the Easter holidays so I don’t have the school logistics to organise in case of a hospital stay. I’m keeping going with walks, bouncing on the birth ball and my raspberry leaf tea for now.

I can't even be bothered to try and get things going anymore, I feel so exhausted And lazy! I should go for a walk!

@reimah @BabyB22021 Congratulations! Xxxx

Has anyone been getting the 'how you feeling', 'any news' etc texts. In the last few days I've had a few a day. Due on Sunday so makes sense. They'll probably all guess if I go quiet!
