Due February 2025 - Thread 5: IT'S TIME

[UrbanSquirrel]

Creating this as a space to continue the Feb 2025 chat - quite frankly it's all starting to feel very, very real right now!

This is a follow on from Thread 4:

Due February 2025 - Thread 4 www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/5215577-due-february-2024-thread-4

@UrbanSquirrel love the new group name! Yes feeling very real now xx

Liking the new name! It definitely feels like it's time- have 8 days to go till due date and very impatient now! How's everyone feeling?

@NeedSleepNowPls Five days to go here, and your username basically sums up how I feel, with the added irony that, after Tuesday, I won't be able to sleep properly for the next 18 years... 😜 x

10 days to go until induction - currently 37+4
So excited!!!

Haha I'm so in denial about it all I'm pretty convinced we'll sleep better once the babies arrive. No heartburn and being able to lie on our fronts again 🤗 the small issue of the cluster feeding babies waking us up is a problem for later on

Can't believe we're on thread 5! What a ride it's been 😊 it's been great to have this forum (and the FB group!) for support 😊

@superj21 Absolutely agree: this community has been a godsend. I'm unlikely to ever meet most of you, but I've come to think of you all as friends / comrades 🤗

@NeedSleepNowPls Yes, you're quite right: the heartburn can sod right off, thank you very much... 😂

Same here @UrbanSquirrel !

Yay! Nearly there! 22 days until planned C-section here! X

3/52 today for my ELCS and it seems so close and yet so far!

Had a horrible consultant appointment today so feeling quite sorry for myself and quite pressured to make decisions I don’t want to make. Hope the rest of you are doing better!

So sorry to hear that @retrievermum. Can we give you any moral support / encourage you to push back? Just let us know. Can you ask for a second opinion? xxx

@UncharteredWaters I have read your message several times and I am sure it's something completely obvious, and it's just that my brain has finally shut down completely... what does 3/52 mean? x

@UrbanSquirrel I’ve pushed back completely (probably gone a bit extreme with my push back but I just got so frustrated!) but just feeling totally deflated. My community midwife has been amazing with it and I’m too stubborn to be forced into anything, but it’s just left me totally oxytocin free, which isn’t what I need right now!

You sound indomitable - brava! As a fellow stubborn person, I salute you 👏🏻 And fantastic that your midwife is on your side. Let's hope you can get your own way. And fingers crossed that the oxytocin levels restabilise soon. Sending supportive vibes 🤗 xxx

Oops @retrievermum forgot to tag you x

@UrbanSquirrel thank you for staying on top of these threads for us!

I’m currently still counting down to mat leave…6 working days left. I’ve left myself a week in between the last day of work and my c-section. I’m so done with work though and mentally checked out 🤣. I’ve just finished my last big project today and the relief is real!

Following 😳

@UrbanSquirrel 3/52 is 3 weeks!(medical lingo!) :)

FTM and 37+4. Tonight I have lower back pain and now nausea and vomiting has come out of nowhere..could this be a sign 👀

@SBelfast Sending you lots of best wishes for your baby boy and hope you are able to be with him very soon!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@UrbanSquirrel @ThisLimeDeer i guess you are right about raising the issue to prevent other mums to have the same issue leading to something terrible. How should I do it? I don't know how it works.

Thank you @Peters27! All has become clear 😃

@apple67cherry How are you feeling now? Any doubts or anything out of the ordinary I would call triage. Good luck! x

No update as of yet! Seems to have settled since xx
