Karmella, you're dead right that you are better off without him! Can't believe he couldn't wait to tell you, you and his children should come first right now. Your son hugging your bump is too sweet though
Excited_FTM, sorry to hear the baby isn't quite in the right position. He could hopefully align before your next appointment. If not, it's exciting that you'll get the date you'll meet your little one!
39 weeks today. Had my blood pressure checked when I went in today, the machine reading was high, so they kept me to have the doctor do a manual reading, which was in the normal range, so they are happy to leave my next appt in the clinic on Thursday. Cough starting to ease up some so feeling less worried about going into labour soon!0 -
So a week left for you comongethappy! Glad your cold / cough have gotten better!
Very excited to hear monflat's news tomorrow
Had my 36 week check up today, nothing interesting to report, they have just upped my GD meds to see if it improves. Can't wait to finish work this week!0 -

Early baby number 2! Baby boy arrived safe and well at 7.21 am eastern US time this morning after a very quick labour. 3 weeks early! 7 lb 1 oz, 19.75 inches.
Waters broke at 2 am, just a bit so wasn't convinced. I'd some pH strips from work so tested it: 7.5, amniotic fluid for sure. Mild cramping started at the bottom of the bump after 20 min, then got stronger and really close together. More waters, about 4 times at home. We were totally unprepared, no bags packed, no contraction app, no taxi numbers. Took us 2 hrs to get sorted then into hospital by 5am. 5cm then. Contractions began to get very very strong, breathing through them was very hard, I didn't want any drugs and they don't do gas and air. I'd planned to walk through the contractions but once I got on a bed I didn't get off. Lying on my left side all the time. Got to 10 cm about 7 am, felt the urge and started pushing. Jesus that was something else. Hubby had requested a mid wife early on and she was great, ob was there for the delivery and she was good too, both coaching me through the pushing. I think I was roaring, midwife told me to put that shouting energy into pushing! I was in another world through all that, eyes closed, lot of pain. And then he arrived! All pain forgotten! Up on my chest straight away. Oh my God!
Despite my intentions, I delivered on my back on a bed, but all went so quickly and so well I've no complaints. Midwife and ob were great and did honour our wishes for no drugs etc. Poor anaesthetist arrived in half hour after birth offering epidural, sorry mate too late!
Tried breast feeding after a wee while, took a bit to get him latched but seems to be OK so far. Nurse will be by later to see if I'm doing it right. Just hanging out now getting plenty of skin to skin with my little fella bliss 0 -

This midwife reckoned he was around 10 lbs (no scan, just feeling) , so it will be interesting to see what he comes out as the midwife two weeks ago reckoned he was 7.4 lbs.
They had me wait 30 mins for another reading and it was normal, back in GP Mon for another BP check and then another midwife appt on Thursday if I haven't gone.
10lbs, wow!!! My goodness you're not far off from giving birth now, this thread will be full of new babies soon. Looking forward to hearing the stories and names 0
