Glad to hear your nephew is doing well.

I completely get where you come from, there were a few people that said to my partner about it being his last father's day before being a dad but to us he already is. Yes this is his first child but he's done more for Leo then some people that already have kids. I got him a card and a little present and wrote a message in from both me and baby. Mothers day this year was the first time I've never received anything, we had only just had the news about baby's condition so my partner didn't get me anything. Since I lost my son his dad had always sent me something even if it was just a message but this year he's cut all ties and didn't do anything. I sent him a message yesterday to wish him a happy father's day but got nothing in return not even sure he has the same phone number and tbh it hurt because like you said no one seems to count you as a parent when you didn't get to take your baby home. Its like when people say you wouldnt understand your not a parent or wait till your a parent but to me I am a mum and I have been to my little boy for the past 7 years.

Honestly if he faints il kill him. 32 weeks today, its scary to think I only have about 6 weeks left. Today is my best friends wedding though and I'm so looking forward to it even if its going to be a long day with being in work after. Just not got dressed up in a long time and will be good to be a bit more then just a pregnant person.

That's great that he is doing well Angela. Hopefully he will be back home again soon. Hope you enjoy your NCT class I cancelled my bookings as one was a tour which were now at a different hospital, one being breastfeeding but we have a breastfeeding nurse at the hospital we're at that will help more with expressing and one was a new parents one but we won't be able to do a lot of the things for a while. There meant to be really good though xx

Ah that's good, yeah I was told if 2 lots of reduced movements they usually refer for a scan. How did the scan go?
Leo did the same when we went in started moving when mo itors were on. He doesn't like things in his space, like if I am leaning my hands on him while in my phone or anything like that he starts kicking till I move haha.

Hi ladies, just read to catch up on everything.
Angela I hope your nephew makes a quick recovery and continues to do well.

Nikkilou, sorry to hear you lost one of the triplets but let's hope the other 2 keep progressing and doing well. I think it's more common then people think to loose one baby with multiples as I've heard a lot of stories on my ivf pregnancy page of loosing one of twins or triplets. It's a lot harder on the body and a lot more complications.

Me and Leo are doing well, haven't had anymore appointments since my midwife one 2 weeks ago and I will see her again next week. We went to MAU last week with reduced movements and once monitors were on he started moving but not as much as normal but went back to normal the next day and the hospital was concerned. Our next scan isn't till 20th but hoping we will get our c section date then to start the planning and going to ask about having a spinal block instead of epidural as heard its meant to be better recovery and more effective. Also starting to really struggle with work and being exhausted so possibly going to talk about going off a little earlier as it will be more worth it then reducing my hours.

Hi, didn't manage to get an appointment other then for this afternoon but I don't have the energy to go up there again so going to try tomorrow. Its not sore so isn't massively bothering me. My midwife has said with us now definitely having the section they don't want me to start collecting till 37 weeks as they don't want me going into spontaneous labour but she said the nurses at the hospital may advise different and if they do go with them. I may have a look I to that book, thank you. I've managed to only put on 4kg so far in pregnancy too which I'm really proud of considering baby is around 3 pound now, it was something I wasn't too bothered about but I didn't want to put too much on with doing so well to loose all my weight to have ivf.

Fair enough loads of people have said to me why you packing you've got plenty of time. But at the same time I have baby's bag to pack, my bag for in the hospital and then a suitcase for our accommodation. I'm glad I've started as I feel a bit more relaxed and I have what they think may be thrush in my mouth and been told it will be stress. Got to go see my gp (well a gp because mine walked out the surgery and said he's never coming back) and see what I can have for it as chemist didn't want to suggest anything and wasn't sure if it was definitely thrush as he said if it is its only early stages. Not sure if my midwife can check tomorrow.

Nikkilou, so glad everything is going well at the minute. I had no explanation for the bleeds I had either. I can imagine it was definitely hard for them to try see all 3 heartbeats, I only have one and he's always been a bugger when it comes to checking his heartbeat even at my scan at 7 weeks because he implanted at the furthest point possible.

Congratulations chantelle, I hope the Ivf process was kind to you as I know some people have a really hard time with the medications. Are you still having pessaries or progesterone injections?

Angela glad the baby show went well seen there were some celebs about and someone I know had a stall on there and said it was a good weekend. I wished I lived closer to them.

So update on me, my pain in my hips and below the bump I think is made worse by my ibs as the other day I was bunged up (sorry for tmi) and I was in agony. Still going o speak to my midwife about it tomorrow as also had a few dizzy spells where I've felt faint but I don't know if that's the warm weather. I started our packing yesterday got a few more bits to get but think it's helped me to relax and sort out some of baby's room. Hoping my partner wakes up feeling better today to put his furniture together but he's having a lot of stomach problems so not sure yet.
