quick question for those on 2nd + babies -how long do you usually bleed for after the baby is born? Reece is 5 weeks old today and I'm still bleeding, I'm sure it wasn't this long with Charlie (DS1)

Think mine was around 2 - 2 1/2 weeks Claire, I don't recall bleeding for a long time although the after birth pains got worse each time. Has it slowed down alot and look like its ending or still heavy ?

Good Morning everyone,

MM, congratulations on Dylan arriving! Sorry to hear he had to get transferred to the other hospital, lots of degunking vibes going his way!!

Tia, urgh, sorry to hear you got admitted! I have been induced all three times so far with high BP, boooooo! I am under a different hospital this time but they dont seem to be taking it very seriously, my BP has been creeping up already (only 29 weeks) but they just march me around the hospital till they find a machine that gives a lower reading I think a lot of it is anxiety related though - I hate hospitals.

I had the most horrible nights sleep was thrashing around all night, apparently snoring so bad hubby decided the sofa would be more confy and up twice for the loo :sad:

Sorry for the marathon post, hope everyone is okay!

Hi, I just saw your sig, you've got your work cut out with 4 boys!! I have 3 boys and love it! Mine are 15 (okay, I admit its getting harder with a teenager :eek:) 5 and 2. Baby on board is a pink one according to the scan but I will believe that when i see it with my own eyes!!

Got my scan today- mixture of extreme excitement at seeing baby and finding out the flavour, and terror that something will be wrong with bubs. Got work to distract me this morning though, which is actually a good thing otherwise I would be a wreck by lunchtime. Will update you ladies as soon as poss.

It's awful waiting isn't it? You just want it to be over so you can relax knowing that everything looks ok. I worked myself up into a right bundle of nerves, it seemed to take forever and I just kept playing the scenario of the sonographer saying something was wrong over and over in my head. I wasn't like that with my first though so I don't know why now . It's like I have a compulsion to imagine the worst happening so nothing takes me by surprise and somehow the act of worrying about something makes it less likely to happen. Which obviously is a load of old tosh and will probably just give me a great big stomach ulcer!

Btw has anybody else got embarrassing teary-ness like me? It's got ridiculous and can be over the most mundane things. Saw my mum's neighbour on the school run this morning and she asked me how things were going but when I went to tell her I was having a boy my voice got all choked-up and I felt like I was going to burst into tears! I hope she didn't notice as she'll probably think I'm a loon!

I love it too, my boys are soo easy and their 16,15,12 and 10 ..I didnt believe that my 5th was a girl either but 2 scans have confrmed it and it has been a different pregnancy so I'll go with it!. Its lovely though to be told your having a girl after all those boys isnt it.
