@speake1 Congratulations! That's a lovely name! Wow, growth scans can be REALLY off! 🎉🥳

@speake1 Huge congratulations!! 🥳🥳 Glad to hear you're both doing well 💙

@speake1 congratulations 💙🌈

@speake1 awww congrats lovely!!! 😊💙

Congratulations @speake1 lovely news 💙💙💙

@speake1 congratulations 🎉💞 hope you and baby are well 🙌♥️ x

Beautiful @speake1 congratulations xx

@speake1 congratulations, lovely news 😍😍😍❤️

@barneymcgroo thanks for the tips, I will definitely ask these questions at my appointment. I'm thinking our baby is going to be quite tall hence why he is measuring heavier.

@barneymcgroo regards to the app - I know, I would be 41 weeks even if they wanted to induce me there and then on the 8th November. I had a lovely birth plan written up with all these nice things.. I'm bouncing away on my birth ball in the hope the baby will come next week 😅

Love the name @speake1 and so many congrats! Is that four happy babies on this thread now? X

@calimc83 sorry just see you post it's been a crazy for days trying to get into the swing of things
Yes I came home from hospital the same day xx

Congratulations @speake1! So lovely to see all these babies arriving 🌈

@flowergarden16 I think we're at 5 babies now 🤔 if I have my calculations right 🤣🙈 x

@mrshodgy21 no worries! Hope u are all settled in at home? @speake1 huge congratulations 🎉 gorgeous name! 19 weeks today and I feel like I have forever to go 🙈 also still can't bring myself to think I'll have a positive ending to this pregnancy 😫 xx

@speake1 congratulations!

@calimc83 I was the same at your stage, it's awful how our experiences of loss make us so cautious about feeling excited about our wee ones. How are you feeling in yourself? Are you getting any new sensations (or still feeling the aftereffects of the first trimester?)

Thank you all for your congratulations, we’re both doing great & so relieved we went for the planned c section this time as we had such a positive experience & feels like closure to our daughters traumatic birth & the losses that followed. We got out within 24 hours aswell so absolutely delighted with that, family of 4 carnage has begun 💙

Just hear to have a moan! Almost 36 weeks and feel soooo shit. Have pelvic and Punic bone pain, reflux, feel utterly exhausted, not sleeping, hips hurt. Argh! Anyone else?

@speake1 I have a c section booked for a couple of weeks and suddenly really scared. Glad to hear yours went so well

@Tofu35 ahh were u..was panicking I was having some sort of weird premonition of doom! I'm ok in myself..sickness has gone but the headaches have been bad! Feeling some movements which is good...but scares me at the same time as when I don't feel anything then I panic 🙈. How are u getting on?? Xx

@calimc83 33 weeks so those little pops and flutters from the second trimester are now bladder kicks, rib punches and rolling about. It will be very weird when I have my body to myself again, and this wee wriggler is in my arms and not in my abdomen 🤣 glad your sickness is gone though, that's always a win when you feel you can face the day without needing to figure out where you could be sick if needed x

@flowergarden16 same! 36 weeks on Tuesday and heartburn is horrendous and I went shopping today and my pelvis literally feels bruised now 😭 also growth scan on Monday and I'm so so nervous that he won't have put on or put on enough

I can't seem to find anything on Google, maybe it is normal and no one asks these questions but .. baby is head down, his feet has been on my right side most of the time and only turned to the left once but it was quite few weeks back when he was much smaller. However since yesterday his legs and feet are on my left side and he keeps sticking his back/bump out on my right and it is rather painful especially at night when I sleep on me left side. I'm 38 weeks so I wonder if this is okay or am I overthinking things

@flowergarden16 @arianasky I could have written that myself. Everything hurts and I'm just ready to have her! Have my section booked for the 11th and rather looking forward to it although not quite ready yet. Nursery half done, hospital bag non existent... 😬

@speake1 so glad you had a good experience this time ❤️

@sunnyd67 I would guess the baby has little space now to completely turn hence only rotating a bit here and there... mine's bum has been up my right ribs for a couple of weeks now and it is very uncomfortable especially when sitting.

@Arwen7 same! The vomiting is back with a vengeance also and insomnia is real 🤢 ooh so exciting you have your date that's not long at all!
