Congratulations @Cruz86 🥳🥰 hope you're doing ok now after all the drama 😨

I am now a day overdue! Really hoping he will come within a week 😬 Getting a bit anxious as cannot imagine how labour feels but trying to stay calm. I've been eating dates, drinking raspberry leaf tea, staying active, using my birth ball, listening to my affirmations... I just hope it all goes well! Saw the midwife yesterday, she said he's quite down low 🤞🏻

Who else is almost there? Xx

@Cruz86 congratulations, so glad Arthur is here safely. Hope you’re doing ok 💙

Hi all I have had two miscarriages this year and am currently 10 weeks pregnant since yesterday I'm experiencing lower cramping and so worried something is wrong again. I did see a heartbeat at eight weeks so trying to hold onto that don't have another scan until 22 November any advice plz so worried ?

@Cruz86 Congratulations, what a entrace form baby Arthur, I hope you are both doing well. 😇

@ImHopeful2023 cramping is quite normal although it is very hard to believe it, I had cramping up to week 14 of pregnancy, not all the time but now and again.

Thanks sunnyd67for your reassurance means alot

@Skl2021 I'm not too uncomfortable although waking is a bit of a mission now 😂 OMG 6 weeks that's crazy! Ah love him 💕

Hi hope everyone is ok!

@Srx1 @arianasky I hope your babies decide to come soon! How exciting 💕

Hope @Cruz86 @barneymcgroo @speake1 are all doing well.

Welcome to the new ladies. Hang in there and never lose hope - we all know how difficult this journey is, hope you find a lot of support in here.

We are so happy to announce that after 1 ectopic and 3 miscarriages last year our lovely rainbow baby is finally with us, arrived today 11/11/22 exactly one year later on the due date of the first baby we lost at 12 weeks.
Baby Arya, 2520g - she is quite tiny after all so scans were right but absolutely perfect, over the moon 💕💕

@Arwen7 Squeeeeeee! Oh that's wonderful news! Gorgeous name, I hope you're not too sore. Was it a planned section in the end?

@Arwen7 HUGE congrats on baby Arya! 💖 I agree with @arianasky, great birth date - I might be bias since it's my wedding anniversary! 🥰

I second what @calimc83 has said about all of the babies arriving recently - I'm only at the start of my journey really (somewhere around 10 weeks) but it's really reassuring to hear about all the new arrivals. Gives me so much hope for me and my rainbow, too! 🌈

So lovely to see all these rainbow babies arriving 🌈 congratulations everyone ❤️

@Arwen7 aww congratulations on your baby girl 🥰 lovely name! You must be sooo happy!

Such lovely news :-)

@arianasky good luck lovely it won't be long!

@Arwen7 I'm in tiny baby club too :-) x

And to everyone joining this thread wishing you all the luck in the world with your pregnancies xx

@Arwen7 Great news, Congratulations! ❤️

All these baby news are making me so emotional, everything we have been through to get here! My partner and I were talking yesterday while I was feeding - can you remember how long we wish this day would come and now we are here? I just cried.. 5 years, 4 miscarriages, infertility, IVF, and now I'm holding my precious rainbow - never give up hope!

Hi all. I've got high BP after birth (so weird it's always fine!) and have to go in the a drug called labetalol.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Did it work and how long were you on it for?

@flowergarden16 I am in it now! I had high blood pressure right at the end of my pregnancy, and it has remained high - I had to go back in due to it and stay the night. I've been asked to stay on it for two weeks before seeing my GP who will then reassess. I've got to take it twice a day at the moment. I'm not really feeling anything- I didn't feel the high blood pressure either though.

Thanks @sunnyd67 ! Good you feel ok and glad it's working for you

I'm so annoyed!

Hopefully will make it come down. Are you allowed a glass of wine in it as honestly, I need one x

@flowergarden16 I'm not sure, but I've heard that red wine itself can reduce blood pressure 😃

God another fun day. Woke up in the night after feeding to a fish of blood from my c section incision. Went to hospital this morning and they seemed relaxed and said I've over done it and need to rest and let it heal. Fingers crossed. Am on the BP meds now so hoping they will kick in soon too.

How is everyone else?
