I am almost pinching myself. It is starting to feel real. 3.5 weeks left at work, nursery planned, enough to make do if "bumpy" appears at any moment. In antenatal class yesterday we learned about feeding. It's weird as the previous 2 classes about birth, then what happens if things go wrong, still didn't really make me feel that this is real. But somehow yesterday with the feeding class, the bump going crazy all day and now reaching the milestone of 34 weeks - it is starting to feel real. Some time in the next 6 or 7 weeks we will be bringing home a real human. A tiny person who we will be 100% responsible for. Wow. It is making my mind melt (either that or I am getting baby brain 🤣).
Hope everyone else is doing well? This really is a crazy journey. Xx
It’s really amazing, and you look amazing too! I I have to say I couldn’t quite believe it until my boy was born, and here I am up early after feeding him, nearly 5 weeks later. I still have to pinch myself sometimes. I’m so excited for you. You thoroughly deserve this.xx
It certainly is. It’s a shock to the system though after 42 years of decent sleeps ha ha. It’s so exciting and terrifying being handed this little bundle but now it feels like he has always been here. I can’t tell you how lucky I feel and you’ll be exactly the same. Just amazing❤️.xx
Hi Camillage. Well done👍🏻😘🤗🤰🏻 i feel the same. I mean you know your pregnant but you still cant believe it at times. Its such a magical surreal thing to happen. Its like WOW. Life is gona change for us soooo much, it will be hard work and although we will be sleep deprived and tired we wont have it any other way. We are so blessed. 🤲🙏
OMG you look fab!!! What a tidy bump!👌 I finished work a week today and they threw me a baby shower followed by a meal and lovely gifts. It was amazing, i was sad after but looked forward to being off as you get uncomfortable sleeping, frequent toilet trips, braxton hicks/period pains/back ache etc. You having many symptoms at this stage?
You are v organsied. 7 weeks to go im so happy for you. It will fly past now and soon you will be holding your very own baby in your arms! Im so excited for you. Good luck with the remainder and keep in touch. Xx😘
Oh wow, your last day at work sounds fab. I will probably just log off and that will be me. I had my last work trip to London this week. The train was delayed on the way down and I was late for my own meeting. I also got swollen ankles for the first time. 6 hours on a train is not good at this point ha ha. Still, it's done.
Symptoms? A bump, the occasional heart burn, swollen ankles when I sit on a train for too long, having to use a huge pregnancy pillow covered in flamingos which means I have to wake up every time I turn over (which is a lot), sleeplessness, boobs that look like the maps of tree routes. I think that's it. I am quite lucky, 42 years old and iron levels, pee tests, size and weight of baby, and blood pressure all average. I have been told at this point they don't see any reason to bring me on early which is great. How about you? Xx
Omg thats great (not the symptoms bit) but everything else. (Lol to maps of tree routes) i cant believe it. Im 38 weeks today and baby can make an entrance any time. I am restricted to what i can do now. But having some work done on the house is keeping me distracted. I am trying to rest but it is hard. Wish we could skip the labour part and just be holding our babies lol. We are truly blessed id rather go through labour than not be pregnant.
Awwww you look lovely! I miss being pregnant - I absolutely loved it (once I stopped feeling so anxious!) Not long to go know! I hope it flies by for you xx

Thank you. I am enjoying it. I feel a little anxiety returning but I am not at all worried about birth or anything like that. It is going to happen. We are going to be parents. Yippee!!! How are you? X

It's natural to worry when you are solely responsible for the little life growing inside you. I think most women feel that way even if they had no trouble conceiving. You have a good attitude. I wasn't worried about the birth either and I had a really good experience (it's not all horror stories!). We are doing well thank you; Isabella is growing so fast 😢 The early days are hard work, nothing can prepare you for it, but it does get easier 😊 I miss those newborn days so much already, even the hard parts. Xx
Happy for you, enjoy every minute of it,I too couldn’t believe I was pregnant till my blessing arrived. enjoy the bump too, I miss mine. All the best for the remainder of the journey xx
I am enjoying the only time in adult life when you can really get away with wearing tight stripey clothes (unless you happen to be a size 6 model). I am enjoying the active little one (especially when I am in a meeting and feel like they want to join in or remind me they are there). I am mostly enjoying the anticipation of meeting the little one. And getting prepped for spending time with them and getting to know them.x
Looking good xxx

Thank you. I am looking forward to getting everything ready, finally having the nursery and being able to put all the clothes etc in. How are you getting on? X
I'm okay thank you. I'm 27 weeks today and starting to feel real. Our nursery is being decorated on Tuesday so I can start actually putting stuff we have bought/been given in their room. Still get anxious that something will go wrong but is getting easier as the weeks roll on xx
Aww, you look lovely. Really not long now. My mat leave starts end of June so 4 weeks Tuesday. Completely understand the anxiety but trying not to let it get to me. All the best lovely xx
Looking great hon. I still haven't got my head around the fact that in about 2 months ours will be here. I'm pretty terrified to be honest. And I'm also loving being pregnant, I wanted It for so long and it's been such a great experience for me I kind of don't want it to end!! Enjoy these last few weeks xxx
You look amazing Camillage, such a neat bump. Not long now these next few weeks will fly by I'm sure, I've found the further on I get the faster the weeks seem to go xx
Well done and congratulations for doing so well Camilage💝🤰🏻you look gorgeous too. Have a great remaining of your pregnancy, enjoy the peace and last few weeks of it in sunny weather😎
All is well too at my end, thank you. I’m today 28wks and also cannot believe I’ve reached this far. This pregnancy is going super fast for me and thanks God very smooth! I have to slowly think about my definite date for starting maternity leave, can’t decide yet. Also lots to prepare for little one but I hope I’ll manage to do this in next coming weeks xxx
That’s amazingly beautiful! Im so happy to see you with a nice real pregnant body and so delighted to read this!
Wish u have a great delivery and dont forget to send us your tiny human’s picture! Take a great care of yourself! Wish lots of love and happiness for your new family! Xxxxxxx
Gorgeous pic! You're absolutely glowing! ☺️ Can't believe we're 34 weeks!! Eeeee!! Sooo exciting we get to meet our little ones soon! 💖 Take care and enjoy these last few weeks with bump, time is just flying by! Much love xxx
Ahhh you look lovely and happy youve been through a lot so you definitely deserve to be heres to a quick 3.5 weeks then you can relax until bumpys appearance!! Wishing you all the best 😊 xxx
You look fabulous and going to be a yummy mummy... it sure is real...wishing you well on your labour and birth and good luck 😊😊😘😘
What a great picture you look amazing 👍 I have really enjoyed following your story. Having spent last year with my own pregnancy full of anxiety it's been nice to feel like I've enjoyed a pregnancy (hopefully that doesn't sound weird/stalkerish!) Jack is 6 months and I totally feel like I'm pinching myself cause I can't believe it actually happened. I think it's the whole IVF journey is so overwhelming and for loads of us been many years (I was 12 in total to complete my family) enjoy these last few weeks before the main event 😀😀😀 x x x

Not at all. Completely understandable I am sure. Especially if you were so angst ridden in your own ha ha. So nice to hear you have your 6 month old there. I find I need to follow others stories for hope and reassurance, and also to give back some. Big hugs to you. And may we all have our miracles one day. Xx
