Anyone else 5 weeks pregnant?

[babyboybluex]

I got a lovely dye stealer this morning and I am so chuffed! After a CP in July, seeing that beautiful first line so dark is giving me great hope.

Anyone else 5 weeks? How are you feeling?

Haha I can only imagine but I bet you look gorgeous @Snoopy28x. That is amazing that you've controlled it through your diet, you should be so proud of that... I've seen many mums struggle with it 4 weeks is nothing! I am soooo excited for you.

It's hard entertaining 24/7 I bet! Hopefully you have nice weather and can enjoy park walks etc. I'd love a water birth as well but will need to see how things go! With my first my blood pressure shot through the roof so I couldn't go to the birthing centre... so far, it has stayed normal so I've got everything crossed. I also have GBS so need antibiotics in labour (not sure if that affects being in the water) xx

Hey ladies, how are you doing?

I am so ready to meet this baby! I'm so uncomfortable and heavy! Not sure if baby is maybe engaged now, I was having shooting lightening crotch pains last night and feels like maybe it's a bit lower down. Rather than right up living in my ribs lol

I've been busy getting my hospital bag and baby stuff sorted, washing everything. Just need the last few bits. Off pram shopping today as our pram was being stored in the loft and looks like a mouse has been munching on it downsides of living in a rural village next to fields! So we are off to get a new travel system today.

Anyone else get really strong braxton hicks/tightenings??? X

Oh my goodness, I am 37 weeks today! Ahhhhhh 🤗

Hope you are all well ladies x

@babyboybluewithnumbertwox eek! 37 weeks yesterday! I had my last growth scan.. baby is 8lbs 3oz 😳 I've been booked for an induction 15th may if baby hasnt made an appearance before that. I was concerned about going over due as it's already a chunky monkey!

My bump is massive and so uncomfortable. Like it cant stretch anymore! I also get very intense Braxton hicks!

Morning ladies, I totally fell away from this thread but had a random notification in my inbox this morning so have just been catching up! So lovely to see you’re all progressing well! I can’t believe the finish line is in sight for us and we meet our babies this month! I was 38wks Friday and omg physically I’m ready lol, my body is so stretched and sore but mentally I’m like WTF, I have to raise a small human, can I do this!?!? Excited, nervous and everything in between!

oh wow @Snoopy28x sounds like wee one is cooking away nicely in there, hopefully you get some movement before then but if not at least you have an end date in sight! How did pram shopping go? No braxton hicks here , I think I had them weeks ago randomly after a long walk but just had lots of period like cramps only

how’s your blood pressure @babyboybluewithnumbertwox , hope you manage to get your water birth! Im
hoping for the same but I just have this feeling I’ll go way over and need monitoring blah blah, just want to know how it’s going to unfold! X

@Blondiebrownie6 its mad how fast time has gone! Yes baby is definitely cooking well lol yeah 2 weeks and counting. I feel nervous about induction, partly because of having to leave the kids for.. I dont know how long. I've only ever spent 1 night away from them. Also I've read the contractions can be more intense etc.. so hoping baby comes sooner.

I have been having sort if twinges in my back the last few days and increase in discharge. So hoping my body is gearing up! Gonna be pouncing on dh as DTD worked both times before lol

As soon as you hold that tiny person you've grown, it will all fall into place. You'll know what every type of cry means! I am so ready to meet this little person.

We picked up the pram today, decided on the Panarama XT in a pretty green colour x

I'm being induced today ladies due to my BP! Ahhhhh... ❤️

@babyboybluewithnumbertwox omg! Ooh good luck! I will be thinking of you. Do keep us posted on how it goes xxxx

@babyboybluewithnumbertwox hows it going? I hope your doing ok and that baby comes easily for you.

I've been out and got raspberry leaf tea and clary sage oil. I will encourage this baby out lol x

Baby boy was born at 3.38am this morning! 💙

@babyboybluewithnumbertwox 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 congratulations!!! I hope your both doing well. So happy for you xx

Love the colour green @Snoopy28x pram sounds fab! We went for a sage green for the nursery and I love it!

huge congrats @babyboybluewithnumbertwox hope you enjoying with your family and you are recovering well :)

I had an early surprise on 3.5.22 and our little boy entered the world after a rather speedy intense labour! Still in shock! This bubble is something like I’ve never experienced , it’s so wonderful! So excited for yous to go through it, I already done want him to grow lol xx

@Blondiebrownie6 so jealous of all these early babies lol I've been so emotional today. So exhausted and just want baby to come now. I'm on countdown to next Sunday but also scared for an induction.. and sad to leave my other 2 babies. I know dd (5) is worried about it x

Hi ladies! Well my time finally came..!! My beautiful baby girl was born at 3am this morning. Weighing 8lbs 6oz. Just got home and am exhausted but happy xx

A huge congratulations @Snoopy28x! That is wonderful news. I hope you are doing ok and the birth went well 💓

@babyboybluewithnumbertwox it was an unexpected situation lol I was due in to be induced. Got there and they said I was already contracting. They left me on a monitor for a bit and I got to 5cm still irregular contractions. So they put me back on the monitor asked me to lay on my side for 15mins. So I turned over... had the most intense contraction that didnt stop. 2mins later I was holding my baby girl 😳😳😳 we are both home and doing well xxx

I just wanted to check in and see how everyone is? Our boy is now 6 months old 😱

Sending love to you all 🥰

We're great. Our boy was born 06 June - he had his first purée today. Crazy times!!

Morning ladies! My little lady was born 17th May. She has CMPA so been on a journey finding the right formula that she doesn't react to. We have finally got the right one, her skins cleared. She also has reflux but as she gets older that's improving!

Life with 3 is hecticbut y she is such a good girl, she just fits in and is very easy going and happy watching her crazy Siblings! She had cracked the rolling over and almost sitting up on her own 🥰

How have you all been finding the last 6 months? Xx

aw lovely to hear from you @babyboybluewithtwox how are things with your boy?
@Snoopy28x we have CMPA to! I was dairy free as breastfeeding but have stopped now and we’re on puramino formula, it’s rotten! Poor sod! We’re sitting up here and have 2 teeth but this boy will not roll lol! He’s having none of it, wants to sit and be upright , he has terrible reflux also so tummy time has never been a hit! Absolutely loving food here, cooking some carrots as we speak lol! X

CMPA here too 😰

This is 2nd reflux and cmpa baby so it seems a bit easier this time. We are on alfamino now as tried nutramigen, neocate (reacted badly to coconut, skin was red raw!).

She does enjoy food, sweet potato and carrot make the reflux worse.

How are yours all sleeping? X

We're just starting weaning. Interesting that carrot made reflux worse as I my little one was quick sick the first time.

He sleeps through most nights tbh xx
