Hi Jo, Thank you.

wow that is a big gap. When baby arrives, eldest will be 14, second is 8. I feel like I'm starting from scratch :)

All will be good. I had my 3rd at 42 and it was a wonderful experience. My older two are also his godfathers. It all comes back to you hun, so don't worry about feeling you're starting from scratch x

Hi Victoria - congrats on your third!! How exciting...

I'm on my first pregnancy, aged 36! So I'm thinking if I want more than one (I'd like two!), I won't have a lot of time! I'm excited but fed up of the emotions at the moment. How have you been feeling? x

Congratulations on your pregnancy :) how far are you?

Beginning of my pregnancy wasn't very good & thought we were going to loose him but he's a fighter :) I'm 19weeks. I paid for a private scan at 16weeks- for my own peace of mind.

What emotions are you having? I'm feeling fairly ok, just tired by end of the day x

Oh I'm glad he's a fighter - do you know it's a he already?! How exciting!

Oh the tiredness....I used to be a running and gym bunny - well that's out the window - I've turned into a couch potato haha....I figure I'm growing an actual human inside, it's ok to get tired just now!

I'm 16.5 weeks along now. Yes, I've been an emotional liability/wreck at times. 90% I'm grand, absolutely fine, 10% I'm either raging or really upset - either way not good for me and not good for baby! Had a right go at my man on Friday, I'll be lucky if I've still got a man by the time baby is born, if I carry on like that. I hate it - the mood swing comes out of nowhere and just totally takes over me, not nice at all - I'm normally very chilled as well :(

I paid for a private scan who checks wellbeing & gender :)

Aw a lovely stage, are you feeling any movements or flutters yet?

I was thinking about going to yoga classes to try help fitness & everything really.

Oh your man, he knows what's happening so as hard done by as he seems, just think of the outcome :)

Ooh fab! I think I've felt flutters, it's hard to know at the moment?! I'm sure I'll know all about it soon :) I've got a definite bump forming though, for sure!

I was looking into yogabellies, but it's all so expensive! Just signed up to NCT which was £230. Cause it's my first, I'll take the help I can get. I think yoga would be really good for my body and mind..! Plus it would be good to meet new mums giving birth at a similar time.

I don't think he's got a flipping clue but heyho...! :)
