MSE Pregnancy Club 28

Hi everyone

I'm 26+3 now so guessing it's about time I joined this thread if that's ok! I'm expecting a baby girl and my due date is 28th March.

Sorry I've been a bit AWOL, it's been a hectic time as it's been my wedding anniversary, birthday and then obvs preparing for Christmas!

I'm having an unexpected day off work today as I had a little bit of bleeding this morning I called the maternity unit and they said to wear a pad to keep an eye on it and I only need to go in if I get any more bleeding, any pain or reduced movement. Luckily I haven't had of those things, baby was really active this morning but quieter so far this afternoon (just got a fizzy drink to wake her up though!). Fingers crossed it was just a one off but you can't help but worry!

I had a bit of drama a couple of weeks too when I fell over at home (following Danielle-y's lead!). Luckily I fell on my bum - I still rang the hospital and my midwife but I didn't get checked out that time as baby was active. I ached so much the next day though! My midwife's been round this morning and baby's heartbeat was good - you could even hear her kicking which was lovely

But please can everything be plain sailing from now on?!

Hi Missymoo! I had a Next sale slot yesterday afternoon and I'm 'guilty' of spending quite a lot too though! The baby clothes are so cheap at half price and so lovely I couldn't resist! Most of the stuff I ordered was age 3-6 months as I have quite a bit of 0-3 months already. It's crazy to think 3-6 months will be June to August next summer, life will be so different to how it is now!

Hi Carrot! I hope you're at the hospital now and alls ok with your girls, I bet they're just having a lazy day too but worth getting checked out. I do take my maternity notes to work as it's about an hour away from my home in the opposite direction from my hospital but I usually just leave them in my car. I get the impression you're using public transport if you have to carry them? I'm not very good at remembering to take them on shorter trips out but I'm not usually that far from home if I need them.

Anyways, hope everyones feeling well and has a lovely Christmas! X

Hi ladies :j
I'm finally taking the plunge and joining the big girls group!!

Am currently 26+4 with blue bubba number #2 on board!! I have a just turned 3 year old ds already and looking forward to completing our little family with the arrival of this one.

Lovely to see some familiar names jumping up with me, all feels a little bit real and scary now!!

Will read back and post again when I can but Carrot, hope your girls are doing ok (and you of course!!)

I'll take this opportunity to wish everyone a very merry christmas - with an excitable toddler on a Santa watch I don't know if I'll make it back online before! Hope any festive babies that are due over the nxt few days don't keep you waiting for too long!!

Hello everyone! :wave:

I am coming to join this big girls thread as I am 24 weeks today! :j
Due on 15th April and another Team Yellow!!!

Hi all

The girls are good. They were unable to find one of the heart beats initially. Longest 25mins of my life waiting for the consultant to come down. But got fully checked out and had a fetal monitor on for a few hours as well as scans. They are ok and growing well but need to keep track of their movements and go back if any changes again.
The hospital were brilliant.

I will from now on be carrying my notes with me to work. Unfortunately I work a long way from home (and hospital) so looks like I will be carrying them with me. They are an A4 folder but they are heavy because full of papers and extra folders etc.

Merry christmas to you all and thanks for your kind wishes.

After christmas it is operation buy everything for babies - very exciting!!!

Happy Christmas everyone, fingers crossed all babies will hold on until tomorrow, none of us want to spend today in hospital. Xx
