  • Welcome back TooMuch,

    Have you subscribed to the thread. It is easier to keep track of it that way I think. Scary to think you had your first 2 at 38+ weeks. I am 38+5 today!!!

    Thanks, I have subscribed now so no excuses anymore.

    With my first I got induced as I had high bp and protein in my urine, they took me in hospital on the Monday night after having high bp at my midwife appointment and wouldn't let me out again, I had to do a 24 hour urine collection. DD2 was a natural labour.

    DD1 was 7lb 4oz, DD2 was 7lb 15oz and DD3 was 7lb 12oz. I was 8lb 6 when I was born and my brother was 9lb 2oz so am glad mine weren't that big.

    It's so exciting though.

    I had horrible ligament type stretching pains at around 20/22 weeks. They do go away but are not nice at all.

  • It sounds like you have had a tough time of it with the pregnancy, once you hold the baby in your arms you'll forget everything, it's the most amazing experience ever!!

    strangely enough, baby is one of the few things helping me to keep it all together, but i know if im gonna give him, DH and Gordon a decent life I need to get this sorted now before it goes on too long, and ends up having farther reaching implications....

    I just cant seem to bring myself to do it! I dont know what im so scared of...

    Get what sorted hun? the debt or something else?

    With pregnancies I found I had loads of weird pains - it made me cross how many were glossed over in the pregnancy books.

    I was over 3 weeks late and came out sucking my thumb!!!! You can imagine what that did for my poor mum!

    My first was overdue by about 8 days - my second was overdue according to them (scan) by 2 days but according to my calendar 6 days

    You never know when the baby is coming although most first babies are late. I had braxton hicks contractions for quite a while before labour day. With my first - I wasn't sure if I was in labour - and they said if you're not sure - you're not - when I got to hospital - to check - I was 4 cm dilated!! :eek: By the time my husband had leisurely showered and dressed (despite me telling him to hurry), I wanted to kill him and was sure I was in labour !:rotfl:
