Full term today!!!

I am full term today!!!!

This is the 5th time I have been pregnant and this will be our 1st baby and today I feel like I have won tattslotto! so I wanted to share the love and hope in the pregnancy after Miscarriage or loss forum

I have had a wonderful pregnancy, after the initial anxiety which I am sure you have all experienced or are experiencing it was an amazing feeling to finally be sharing our special news with family and friends. I had pretty mild ms in the 1st tri with mainly dry reaching if I didn't eat quick enough, needless to say I ate lots lol. The 2nd tri brought with it bubs 1st movements

at 16 weeks I felt bubs moving around like crazy and with my excitement came home from work and showed dh, he too could feel the little one and every day since then we have laid down on the bed at least once for a snuggle and time to bond with bubs, dh sings, play the guitar or just lays there talking to tiger 6 with his hand on my belly. My fav times have been where a nice long belly rub has been involved which has turned into a full body massage niiiice! The 2nd tri was also the start of endless heartburn and sever bouts of bad sciatic pain which kept me resting for weekend after weekend not getting anything done around the house. Luckily it gave me a break and I did manage to organise everything for bubs before I finished work at 34 weeks. So now I am on maternity leave YAY I have been lapping up a smothering of pampering from dh, enjoying visits from friends for cuppas and a catch up before we become a family and don't have visitors for a couple of months. We've been having dinners out, going to the movies, having loads of baths and generally relaxing and now becoming MEGA EXCITED!

Thanks for reading and I'm sending out loads of happy dust to all
