40+1, nearly there!!!!

Soooo, due date was yesterday & looks like this cheeky monkey is going to be much like big sister. I've had over a week of painful Braxton hicks but nothing more. My poor little girl is getting so impatient waiting to meet her new brother or sister, every day she talks to bump telling baby to "come out today please" 😂

I think we are all a bit bored of waiting now, but on the bright side I'm feeling fairly ok after being told I had low iron & being put on iron tablets for a few weeks. I didn't realise how crappy I'd been feeling until I started taking them.

Thank you!

I have a midwife appointment tomorrow, so hoping I'm offered a sweep. Not keen on another induction to be honest do think I'll just wait & see for now & cross that bridge if I come to it x

Woo hoo, hope it does. I'm struggling in the heat let alone be term!

My nausea is no longer crippling but I still need to wear my little sickness bands or I'm thumped. I'm guessing its never going but it is so much better the last few weeks.

Good luck. Huge hugs and positive thoughts xx
