Hi Sophie,
Glad to know things are going well with you(no bleeding). Thats really a big relief.
How many are we left now? You, Elizabeth and me? I am also hoping this waiting period goes quickly for us.
Love Valli.
3rd Trimester bumps!!
Congratulations Toni and welcome to Thomas and Charlotte. They're great names and did you know that 'Thomas' means twin? I hope that it's not too long before they're both safely home with you.

Hi all,
Jackie - hope everything is OK. We haven't heard from you since your planned C-section. How is stich???
Valli and Elizabeth - how are you two?? Valli - what are your doctors saying about the size of your baby. Is your diabetes all Ok now, and whats happening with your Mum ... any way she is able to come and see you.
I have a week and a half untill d-day and am so uncomfortable. My feet feel like they are on fire all the time
.
The nursery is now all finsihed and I keep on standing by the door staring at the cot and clothes and can't believe that within a max three weeks I will have my baby. I'm still nervous something will go wrong
. Its just such a massive dream come true after years of trying.
The last four years have been filled with so much emotion, sadness, panic, that although I am ecstatic to be pregnant, the happiness will not come until she is born and safely in my arms.
At every midwife appointment my bump gets measured. For the last 2 weeks it hasn't grown at all. The midwife didn't comment on this so I guess its nothing to worry about. I have also not put on any weight for 4 weeks (in actual fact I've lost a couple of pounds). again I think this is normal, but I see the midwife on Wed and will make sure I check these things with her. Lots and lots of braxton hicks today and some spotting. Lets hope this is a sign that labour is on its way.
Well, back to the couch for me.

Hi Sophie,
Things are not changed that much for us. I think spotting may be the sign for the labor? Isn't it? Don't worry, within no time you'll have your beautiful baby in your arms.
I also think the same as you, something may go wrong, I know its not a good thing to even think about. But still I am too worried on that. Yesterday I packed the bag for the delivery(I am slow on this). And I gave some work to dh to do when I am at hospital like washing the baby's clothes, so they'll be ready by the time bay comes home. DH was saying lets do it now itself. But I told him after the baby's delivery. Somehow, still worried what if something goes wrong. I am too too scared.
My sugar levels are all over, sometimes they are normal and sometimes are high. In my last scan baby weighed 8lbs 3oz. Her growth is 39 weeks(at my 36weeks visit). So I am kind of thinking the doctor may change the delivery date. But she didn't. Has to talk her tomorrow when I go for the non stress test. Having lots of braxton hicks contractions. Since yesterday night I am having pain in the lower abdomin too.
Your weight losing is normal. I was told like that. But I am on the opposite way. I am gaining weight now.
Thank you for asking about my mom Sophie. Mom didn't get an appointment. I am still trying, if there are any slots to get an appointment. No luck so far.
Keep us posted what your midwife is going to decide on wednesday.
Elizabeth, how are you?
How is everyone else?
Lots of Love,
Valli.

Hi Everyone
Wow Toni, can't believe your twins have arrived. Hope they are thriving and home with you very soon.
Things didn't go quite as planned with me. I was getting ready for c-section on Tuesday, but on Sunday there was blood when I went to the toilet. I was getting some pains, nothing major and they were every 4 minutes but I didn't think it was anything just 'Stitch' being his normal self. John rang the hospital about the bleeding and I soaked in the bath for an hour. The hospital said at 7am to go down to be checked out but I did everything I could to get out of it. Anyway, we arrived at the hospital about 10.00 and was taken through to assessment. I was put on the monitor and in 25 minutes there was only 1 pain. The midwife did an internal and said I was 5cm dilated -I didn't even know labour had started!!! Suddenly it went very busy, 2 surgeons came in immediately, John was handed theatre scrubs and told to get camera out of car ASAP and then I was seen by the anaethatist and within 40 minutes of our arrival I was in theatre having an emergancy c-section.
It was such a beautiful experience -I can honestly say they did everything to make it special. The anaethatist said I was the most relaxed person he had ever seen -all I could say was I don't care... I'm going to meet my baby!!! I was talking to John and felt a slight tug and the next second our baby was crying -neither of us had realised they had even started it was that relaxed in there.
So Joshua James entered our life on Sunday 10th July at 11.35am weighing 7 lb and 8oz. He has so much hair everyone was amazed. He is beautiful and a real character, and I still can't believe he is ours.
It was lovely because our consultant who has been with us throughout 5 years of treatment and the pregnancy came to visit us and wrote down all of Joshua's details and asked us to go to the clinic to show him off when we have the time. It is nice that it meant that much to them.
Joshua and I were allowed out of hospital Thursday night on the condition that John does all the nightfeeds!!! No 4.30am feeds for me. When we got home there was about 20 people who live in our close waiting to meet Joshua, they had been waiting since 3pm for us to arrive. I didn't realise how much people care, a lot of them know how much we have been through to have Joshua and are so pleased it has happened.
I am so grateful for everyones support during our pregnancy and hope we all keep in touch on the Parents after treatment board.
Good luck Sophie, Elizabeth and Valli -it won't be long until your babies are here.
Jackie
Did any of you who had your babies early take part in the Premature baby research? You have a womb biopsy, they take some of the cord and some placenta.

Jackie,
Congratulations on little Joshua's arrival!! I'm so happy for you, and happy to hear that you had such a wonderful expereince with your c-section. I can't believe this is it-such a long stretch since finding out we were pregnant around the same time. Again, wishing you a joyful and restful recovery and all the best for little Joshua..
Hi Sophie and Valli,
Still here, still waiting...my cramping has slowed down a bit. I did have a cleaning frenzy yesterday, but I've been having these off and on for a month now, so don't know how to read it. I'm feeling OK, pretty relaxed overall, and have become less impatient as this baby could be arriving late (39 weeks today) so just trying to take one day at a a time. It is hard though.
I'm sorry Valli to hear that your mother has not been able to make it. My mother and father are arriving in Sept. to visit, but las t week I so suddenly wanted her to be here for the birth..It made me feel sad that she cannot-too late now-as her travel plans have already been made. I guess I underestiamted how much I would want my mother here with me now that I'm so close. Of course, DH will be with me and he has been pretty great all along. It won't be long for us now, soon we'll be holding our little ones...I wonder who will be next??!!
Love,
Elizabeth

Hi everyone
well we all are home! We were allowed to come home this wednesday, which was the day before my birthday so that was a nice present. now i am an extremely tired but very happy and relieved mummy!
They were kept in NNU for a while becauser of the usual problems, jaundice, body temp fluctuations and feeding maintenence. Charlotte did have a bit of in infection and had to go on antibiotics for a while, but it turned out to be nothing serious.
In answer to questions - delivery was fine. When i went into labour i had serious back pain - didnt think it was anything to worry about but went to the nurses desk to ask for some paracetamol. next thing i know shes saying she doesnt like the look of me and sends me off to the delivery suite. they gave me an epidural early on, even though i didnt feel like i needed it, it was decided better to do it now rather than when im in agony!! I was in labour for a total of nearly 15 hours officially and was shattered at the end of it. it was so relaxed they had to break both my waters, and tell me when to push, as i couldnt feel any contractions. the main thing i remember is my dead legs flopping about everywhere. i thought i would be scared about not being able to feel parts of myself, but it was actually highly hilarious!!
It did get a bit scary at one point because Thomas got stuck behind my cervix, and they had to eventually deliver him by Ventuose. I guess they decided to do the same with Charlotte to be safe but in all honesty she didnt really need it. she was so good - she just slipped into place after Thomas was out and made her descent! and at least i avoided a C-section!
Hope you are all well - how are your babies doing? Which reminds me - Jackie CONGRATULATIONS to you and DH JOSHUA!!!!!!!! Its a lovely name and was actually on my short list.......... we should start a thread on the parents side as Im sure our paranoia will continue well into the next few years. What do you think? Sophie - trust me - you aint felt nothing yet!! you will not stop worrying once little Freya is here........................ But the amazing feeling on unconditional love................... wow!!
so the rest of you how are things progressing? spotting is very normal although i didnt know that, so dont worry! so is weight loss - the baby is eating more and more so its taking anything that you would normally put on. also as you get close to birth the babies growth tails off - so its just a sign that everything is progressing as normal.
keep in touch and take care

Still here!! Congratulations to all you guys......soo sorry I have not been around! and big good luck to Sophie J and Valli.........hang in there.....I know you must be going nuts!!
Things are pretty manic my end........my darling beautiful miracle has both reflux and colic!! So some days I have literally had 2 hours sleep!!!

I am also paranoid of anyone going near her........even when my own mum was staying with us......she was feeding her one night so I could sleep and still I kept popping up and down to check she was ok!!
I love her sooooooo much I can't explain it.........I also have become slightly obcessed with having another.........something I never thought I would think........oh god what a nightmare!! Anyway going to concentrate on my miracle and see what the future brings........will be visiting my clinic soon to see what they say!

Hi Girls
Toni - Well done on your delivery of the twins, it's great that you could have a natural delivery. You must be so busy now you're all home but it sounds like you're blissfully happy - it's amazing isn't it !!
I think it's a great idea to start a thread on the parents side - what shall we call it?
Jen F - Are you stark raving mad woman !!
Thinking about another baby already - WOW !! 
As for me, I have been through the pain barrier twice with my breastfeeding. My left nipple was so sore and painful last Sunday
that I almost gave up ( it was really bad !! ) However, I grit my teeth ( quite literally ) and battled on and it's all going great again now. Thomas is a bit of a monkey at night and hates being put in his crib so the most sleep I generally get in the night is maybe 3 hours but it's amazing what your body can cope with ( or without !! ) Still it's more than worth it - I totally love and adore my little man - being a mum is wonderful !!
Jackie - Hope you, DH and Joshua and all OK.
Sophie, Elizabeth and Valli - Thinking of you all.

Hello all,
Freya arrived on Thursday 21st July at 7pm. WOW, she is the most beautiful thing in the world.
7lb 4.
Labour was 18 hours long from start to finish. I spent most of labour in the water birthing pool but got out towards the end as I was in so much pain I was requesting an epidural. But I was so nearly there so I pushed on the bed. So bloomin painful but so worth it. Carl and I cried so much when she was born, and I still cry now when I look at her.
Spent that night and the next night in hospital and came home saturday. Feeding has been a bit difficult as all she wants to do is sleep but today I think I've cracked it.
Angel Care Monitor is fantastic .... only way I can sleep but even then its hit and miss. most probably 5 hours a day I'm managing at the mo.
Jen, Kim, Jackie and Toni - so glad things are going well.
Elizabeth and Valli - I imagine we will be hearing your news soon.
Lots of Love to you all, and thank you so much for being there for me during this pregnancy. I agree we should start a thread on the other side when Elizabeth and Valli are ready to join us.
