I am definitely pregnant with my last child, #3. I am being sterilised during my c section.

I am trying to make the most of these last few weeks of ever being pregnant was just wondering if there’s anything anyone would do knowing it is their last ever pregnancy?

I have brought my maternity leave forward so I have some extra time to chill before the madness hits of having 3 DC, but what can I do to make the most of my last time being pregnant?

Hi op firstly congratulations 🎊. After having my1st daughter I didn't think I was able to have anymore till I fell pregnant 6 years later. After the birth of my 2nd daughter me and OH wanted to try for a boy.. 7 years later we had our baby boy and after gum we said we wasn't going to have anymore due to the birth I had with him... however.... I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant with my 4th and there is less then 2 years between my son and baby.

I've been saying I want to be sterlised when having c section with baby but I've been told um too young(although I'm 33)..

@jadey1991 I am 32 and there will be less than 2 years between DD2 and the new baby, my eldest is 12.

The consultant was more than happy to add sterilisation to my paperwork when I asked for it, so I’m surprised that they’ve said no to you.

I usually hate the feeling of being pregnant, but I must say the last pregnancy I had the best pregnancy cravings and food tasted amazing! I had the most amazing fish and chips and even cheesy pasta. So maybe enjoy pregnancy cravings, when average food tastes absolutely amazing.

My best labour was after pregnancy yoga, so I would highly recommend. I enjoyed the peacefulness of it.

Of course, lots of sleep (if possible with two others)!

…. Also with hormonal emotional overload, a feel-good weepy film is more impactful. I am thinking for myself tonight (Dirty dancing? The Notebook?), but literally anything is making me cry lately, even a good song.

So I enjoyed a BIG bowl of apple crumble and custard, which is my most recent craving and I have booked myself in for a pregnancy massage on my first week of maternity leave and then to have my hair done on my 2nd week off.
