Hi bella. Sounds exactly how I was when DS1 stopped breastfeeding and then two weeks later I realised I was pregnant again. My Christmas drinks are still on ice ��. Sometimes plans get laid out for us and we just go with it. Goodluck ��

Totally weird Kazzo, I can see a portion of your reply in the window of the thread in the side bar, but can't see anything you wrote in here. Well, not pregnant, but we are about to ttc in the next few days. Wish me luck!

Is it just me, or is conception sex the best sex ever?

So we got a lovely bfp today. We are on the beginning of the last of our firsts. This is our fifth pregnancy, we have three children so we are expecting our fourth child in October. I stoaked! There has been a bit of nerves. I'm not sure if I am enough for four children but I know I would regret not havin this baby, and the sense of peace that I feel now carrying the final member of our family is amazing. Feeling blessed, slightly nervous because I know it will be hard at times, but also joyous. Yay for me!

Congrats Bella! Super exciting! Wishing you all the best for this pregnancy and a lovely birth.

I'm having issues with BB both on my computer and my phone. Anyone else?
We are also expecting again. 7 1/2 weeks. Saw a heartbeat on ultrasound just over a week ago, so we are very hopeful that this one will stick. I'm taking progesterone this time too. This will also likely be our last pregnancy. During the nauseous times, that's a comforting thought. Other times, I hate to think of this being the last little bundle to snuggle, and the last adorable first steps, and last cute babbling from a toddler, etc.

Congrats cricket! That's awesome. So happy for you. I feel you on the lasts. This is our last baby and I am treasuring the last of everything. Not looking forward to the morning sickness you poor thing. Hope it gets better soon. Xx

What gestation did your last Angel fly free cricket? It must be very hard after a loss. I've had one but at 5.5 weeks and since hubby and I are super fertile and barely look at each other and we fall pregnant, whilst it was sad, it was def not devastating like I think it would be even for people who have to struggle to fall pregnant or who lose a baby further along. Anyway, I hope this pregnancy is very uneventful. Fingers crossed. The more morning sickness the stronger the baby I used to get told.

Thanks Bella!
We lost one at 7 weeks, one at 10 weeks, and one at 5 weeks. DH and I did conceive very quickly, but after those losses, it was really starting to feel like I couldn't carry a baby anymore. The first ob I talked to said I was probably just getting too old. (I was 34!). Anyways thankfully I have a great gp who encouraged me to try the progesterone and found me a new ob to see, and it looks like it's working, so far.

**Cricket** · February 4th, 2016, 09:46 PM

And this must be a good strong baby.

**Dot Face** · February 4th, 2016, 10:23 PM

Congratulations bella and cricket

may your bubs be amazing healthy little homebirthed babies! Amen.

I'm popping in to announce the birth of my baby girl! Born at home on Saturday night at 9.30pm, 39 weeks 1 day gestation & posterior presentation!
I hemorrhaged after birthing her so had to get jabs to get placenta out quickly. Ambos came but thank God placenta was already out by then so didn't have to transfer.

Overall recovery is going well, better than with my first assisted-vaginal birth in hospital, despite having lost more blood. Praise God for everything!

**Cricket** · February 4th, 2016, 11:31 PM

Congratulations Dotface! Have you done a birth story? I'd love to read it.

So glad to hear that all is well, despite a few scary moments there. God is good.

**Bella29** · February 5th, 2016, 10:23 AM

Congratulations dot Face! Well done! I'd also love to read your story.

Cricket- how ridiculous of that ob. 34 is not old. And I'm glad you ended up changing. Good idea. How much longer r u on progesterone?

**HotI** · February 26th, 2016, 10:55 PM

Are people following the midwife rules changing? When do we have to birth by to be able to have support at home (without fear for them or us)?

**Bella29** · February 27th, 2016, 08:01 AM

2017 I think hot1

Well Hello!!

Something called me to come back in here today and I see its been very quiet in here over the last year!

I also see I didn't update you all on my birth!!

Charley Ruth came Earthside at 40+5 on the 28 January 2015. Born unassisted at home into her Daddy's hands weighing in at 5140g (11lb 5oz). Her birth was my most empowering and spiritually awakening birth to date. It didn't come without drama and I had quite a large bleed.

Charley is now 17 months old and is the apple our families eye.

I am now working as a Midwife and am still debating whether to go back for another lol

Sorry its taken me so long to update! Life is busy with 4 kids!!

Hope you are all well!
