Dd1 started yr 5 today, Dd2 started yr 2 and DS started prep happy, sad confused.... Feeling old, so many people said 'oh only one to go....' Oops.
First meeting with my midwife tomorrow then scan Friday, a bit late for the scan so hopefully everything is whe it should be. Feeling tired but I get why I feel tired but can someone please tell me why my nipples have to be so sore and sensitive??? Lol crazy.
So sorry to those that a tired and at the end stages, it's so very hard waiting those last few days/weeks!
Yay Tegam! I have my first home visit and booking in appointment with my MW tomorrow! I have met her but it was a freebie "meet and greet" in her office so this feels like we're really starting now. I'm excited. Good luck with your scan too xx
Ugh to sore nipples. I was convinced I was weaning my DS2 for a few weeks there and I have cut him down as I just couldn't handle it for a while. I seem to be okay now but he's doing fine without night feeds so he's just down to breastfeeding in the morning and even then it's not every day.
Thinking of all our 'at the end' mamas too. Any niggles yet??
Had midwife appt this morning. Feeling better about being on baby/body time. Don't think things are going to happen this week or the next, but feeling ok about it for now.
Bub is head down and seems comfy again which is nice.
Mw brought her grandchild with her to appt. Kids had fun together. I remember her coming once before DS was born, so it feels like another thing that had to happen before baby time is here.
Might youtube some baby belly dancing to see if i can bub bit lower and hitting cervix.
Glad you're in a better place in your head, HotI
I've got an appointment with my mw tomorrow - she's heading overseas on the weekend, so I thought I'd go for a drive to her place to make it easier...and I could do with a change of scenery! So, it remains for my mw to be happy with fundus height as to whether I'm going to have a scan with this pregnancy or not.
Took the kids for a spider treat at a local cafe today, to change their scenery around a bit after spending all week boringly at home - after I had a nap, of course.
Thank you for the warm welcome ladies. I am excited to be part of this group.
SJ I figured it was time I join
I am time poor at the moment so I am sorry for the lack of persies. Hopefully I can find some time later to introduce myself properly and get to know you all a little better.
Callum Elias born at home 1:30pm today. We haven't done stats yet but he's perfect!
I had a long night of prelabour and went into active labour around 11:30am. I felt so connected to the baby the whole time and kept telling him to come.
I'm thrilled my midwives and sister and DH were all present. The kids were perfect and stayed in the other room until it was all over (dd said she didn't want to 'distract me' god bless her).
I finally reached down and felt baby's head and face as he crowned and was the one to catch him - something I've never managed before.
He's fed well and is sleeping peacefully now.
I feel amazing and so blessed. I know the next few weeks are the toughest part of the journey for me.
At least I'm starting on the highest of highs. Love to all and a birth story to come soon I hope.
