@Skl2021 I cannot sleep at all! I'm awake about three to four hours a night and then having a nap during the day. 😂 How are you doing since having all of your children at home for the half term?

@sunnyd67 oh no 🙈 get as many naps in through the day then! I'm a bit frazzled 🤣🤦 all the days and night blend into one and my kids have spent way to long on there games 🤦 but I'm trying to go easy on myself I'm surviving and a few days of playstation won't hurt them 🙌 we have managed to leave the house and play football and park so there quite happy. Back to school soon so it's gone so quick! Max is a month old tomorrow 😢 x

@Skl2021 wow! I can't believe he is a month old already, time is flying by! ❤️😍

@RaliaMusca I had very few symptoms with two of mine, mild nausea with number 3. Each pregnancy is different, but it's hard to keep believing it's going to be okay. Today you are pregnant - and if it helps to have a good cry, go for it...

@Skl2021 A month already? Time has FLOWN!

@sunnyd67 Hope you're managing to get some rest. My husband kept sending me for snoozes in the last weeks - which then meant I couldn't sleep at night, so I gave up... Not long to go!

@RaliaMusca first of all congratulations and sorry about previous losses. I had a scan at what I knew was 6+3 but baby was measuring only 5 weeks and only a sac to be seen no fetal pole and I broke down it tears I thought it was for definite another miscarriage. I went back 10 days later and he was measuring a week behind but there was a strong heartbeat and by the 12 week scan he was measuring 3 days ahead and now I'm nearly 37 weeks pregnant with him 💙 I understand the worry and stress I had a MMC and 2 MCs before this pregnancy so finding out he was measuring behind really messed with my head. I have everything crossed that this will be your rainbow 🌈

@Skl2021 as if he's a month old already! 😱 that's crazy 💙🌈

@sunnyd67 @barneymcgroo @arianasky I know I can't quite believe it feel like I have blinked and it's gone. Making me quite emotional/broody. This is meant to be the last baby but my heart isn't having it 🙈🤦 keep getting these thoughts that I'm not done or maybe I'm delusional from the lack of sleep 🤣 someone snap me out of it! I hated pregnancy 🙊 x

@arianasky thanks for sharing that, that's so reassuring. I'm so glad to hear you're having a healthy pregnancy with your little boy. I can one hundred percent understand how you felt at that first scan. It's just terrifying once you've had a loss. I really appreciate the extra scans but sometimes I wonder if I'd be better off not knowing too many details (like growth) and saving me potential stress.

@barneymcgroo hah, I cry several times a day at the moment. I think what I struggle with is that it don't know for certain that I'm still pregnant today. After my MMC I don't trust my body and symptoms at all anymore.

@Skl2021
I'm feeling just the same 🤣🤦🏽‍♀️

@mrshodgy21 was this meant to be your last too? I think I'm going crazy even thinking like this when he's only a month old 🤣🤦 I don't know if I'm ovulating or the hormones are raging as I just want to jump on the OH! 🤣🤦 Why is my head thinking it's a good idea to do it all over again 🙈 x

@Skl2021 yes this was my last im 39 I have 6 of my own and my husband has 3 I must be crazy even thinking about it after 3 mmc aswell and only a 10 days since kian was born whole time I was pregnant I was saying never again 🤣🤣

@mrshodgy21 how do you do it?! U must be superwoman I'm struggling with 3! 🙈 I was the same I don't like pregnancy and I was convinced this was the last baby 🤦 must just be the hormones making me go loopy 🤣🙌 xx

@Skl2021
Well my youngest is 8 before little man come and my oldest is 17 next month I don't think I could put myself through all the worry again I'm just being stupid 🤣
My husband was up for another one when I was pregnant but seeing me in labour he is like no way can't see me go through that again lol x

@mrshodgy21 my youngest was 6 when I had max and I was worried about the gap. My eldest is 9. Yes I think I'm being stupid too 🤣 don't know why I'm even considering it must be the hormones 🙌🤦 can't handle the sleepless nights now nevermind doing it again! Yes my oh is adamant were not doing it again after 2 traumatic births. His nerves are shot to pieces! X

@Skl2021 @mrshodgy21 😆😆 can't believe u 2 are contemplating another! They do say you know when u are done though...🫣I didn't realise you've had 6 of your own @mrshodgy21 there was me worrying about having 3! 😱 x

@calimc83 I am totally done I don't know where these feelings are coming from 🤣 I can't handle pregnancy and the thought of going through another loss or traumatic birth should be enough to put me off!! Give me a slap 🙌🤣 x

@calimc83 yes and my husbands 3 girls aswell
But surly gotta be done at some point 🤣 baby kian is so good being tricked into having another!

Wow @mrshodgy21 - that's a lot!

I'm definitely done - and very happy about it. Can't wait to start getting rid of baby stuff...
