32w+4d 💙👶🏻

[Loublou1985]

After finding out we were expecting in July 2018 we have now only 7 weeks (approx) to meet our little one. It’s been the best journey I have ever had. It’s been tough, tiring, and a roller coaster but totally worth it now knowing we’re in sinnle digits to meet our baby boy. I Want to give everyone good luck and best wishes on their journey and hope you get your little bundle very soon!

Due to my Gestational Diabetes diagnosis I will be told in 3.5 weeks what labour I’ll be having, I’m praying for a natural birth and the gas and air will suffice for pain relief.

EDD 02/04/19 💙👶🏻

Aww such a gorgeous photo 😊. I too had GD in pregnancy so I understand how anxious a time it is. Not long now and he'll be in your arms 😊

[Loublou1985 in reply to littlemisstired80]

Yes I’m anxious. Got to wait for my 36 week growth scan and then it’s systems go! Not long to go but wishing time would hurry up ha ha x

[littlemisstired80 in reply to Loublou1985]

I found out when I was having my little boy after my 36 week growth scan too 😍. Lol I too was like I want him in my arms now haha but trust me when I say enjoy the sleep these next few weeks 😂. Honestly though when you hold him that first time it will be the best feeling ever xx

[Loublou1985 in reply to littlemisstired80]

I can’t wait for that moment and for my partner too! I’ve just always wanted to be a mum xx

How exciting! Congratulations xx

Best of luck. I'm due 5th April but will be induced at 38 weeks due to my age and the fact its IVF. I'm also hoping for a natural birth but I guess I will just have to wait and see.

Starting to feel uncomfortable and its hot right now here in New Zealand so I'm ready to meet her right now.

[Hidden in reply to Mantaray75]

Wow, that's come in so quick. Over here the start point is to recommend induction at 38 weeks for us geriatric IVF mothers to be, however we can refuse and actually they are becoming more sensible about simply checking, and if all well, allowing the pregnancy to continue naturally x

[Mantaray75 in reply to Hidden]

They originally said 37 weeks at my first consultant appointment but I'd just had a big bleed at 7 weeks so I think they thought I would have a problem pregnancy. I'm now booked for 38+6 They are now doing weekly CTG's after reduced movements 2 weeks ago and I've had monthly scans all the way along. I'm quite happy with the careful monitoring. I was offered an elective section by my midwife last week but I said no.

[Hidden in reply to Mantaray75]

Wow, sounds like excellent care xx

[Hidden in reply to Mantaray75]

Hi Mantaray, wishing you the best of luck. Good to hear all going well xx

[Loulav]

My EDD is 29th March. Not much between us. Im having a cessarean, so I assume he/She will be sooner. Good luck. Not long to go now xx

[Hidden in reply to Loulav]

Hi Loulav, glad to hear everything is going well after your rollercoaster start to pregnancy xx

[Hidden]

Hi Loublou, glad to hear you are doing well. Good luck,hope you have a smooth birth and will look forward to your update xx

[Muppetgirl]

What exciting times. I hope when you meet your little one it take a away the pain of the journey

[Cinderella5]

Wow what a pic!! Not long to go now, wishing you all the best for a safe delivery!xx

[CC2018]

Glad to hear all is well. Our EDD is 01/04/19 but because of ivf and lupus they're inducing me at 38/39 weeks so she'll be here before the end of March. I've also had lots of growth scans and been told i'm a higher risk of pre eclampsia and still birth. Hoping we all have an easy birth and labour xx

[Loublou1985 in reply to CC2018]

Good luck & hope for a great outcome ! I think I’ll be induced due to IVF & having the Gestational Diabetes but time will tell. xx

[CC2018 in reply to Loublou1985]

We could end up having them the same day lol xx

[Loublou1985 in reply to CC2018]

We could ! my friend is due 4 days before me and we think we could do the same xx
