Hi, 1500-1800 cal Although I must admit I didn't count calories that strictly, 2-3 meals a day with no snacking.

Thanks everyone! I must say it was the hardest thing I have ever done - and my husband would see me biking hard out and would often say, I've never seen you so determined! I wanted it that bad that I was prepared to do anything! So I think if it had of gone either way I could be happy that we did everything possible.

Love it when a plan comes together ;D You are much like me in that I wanted it so badly, did everything I could so even if it was opposite, I would have no regrets. Didn't quite go to plan in the end, but I got my baby girl and I'm cuddling her right now even tighter!
I will still follow all these journeys as it was such an emotional one for me, I hope to give others support along the way.
Congratulations :D

I would like to share with all you swayers the letter to my daughter that I wrote the day we conceived & read to my husband right before we DTD ;) it is so close to my heart and I know it is something you will all understand. It may be an exercise that all pre-swayers should do... :)

"To my dearest daughter,

I have waited so long for you to be with me, to hold you, to marvel over your beautiful face. You have 3 wonderful brothers that will protect you and care for you, and a father that also longs to hold his sweet little girl.
We have done all we can to try to bring you into this world. Now my darling its your choice. The world at times is a scary place to be, but you will never be alone, there is a whole family waiting for you, we're waiting for our, Gracey.
I want you to know that I've always wanted you. I've always felt you close to me, in my heart. Please make my dream come true and I promise you that you will have a wondrous life with me as your mother.
My life is devoted to you and your brothers. I know your up there my love reading this along as I write, I feel your spirit.
I love you Grace, my future daughter. Our precious girl. We are waiting for you to complete our family & to make my heart whole.
Please answer my prayer with your presence.
Lovingly your Mother"

Blubbing here too! So sweet :) I started to wrote a journal when I got my BFP, but felt so guilty that if my baby was a boy, and he ever found it, I got rid of it. I would like to write something to my daughter to read in the future ;)

Thank you so much. It doesn't even feel real, today I actually took a step further and pulled off tags on the few clothing items I have bought ;)
I look to my labour and know that just like the other 3 I will love it being drug free - I want to feel the pain, as with each contraction will be every ounce of pain I have ever felt with my GD and for once I want to be rid of it. Its going to be a very emotional labour for me and my husband, he has seen me on my knees sobbing, seen me go through GD, seen me go through 3 miscarriages and watched my determination with TTC this girl. We want to fully labour alone with the nurses just there at the end.

All my labours have been completely drug free too and I wouldn't have it any other way....nothing against it for those who want it, it's just not me. 😊 With the twins I had to get the top professor of the hospital to approve my birth plan as it was their "policy" to give twin mums epidurals and be really invasive. I actually don't mind labour, it's the PPH afterwards that scare me. 😕

Wow I can't believe you still did drug free with twins! good on you. At the time I had wished I had drugs with No.2 he was 9pound 4oz (my last was 6pound 10 so was a bit different!) :) ... Because I went to hospital with my first at 8cm in NZ they don't let you have anything after this stage so it was like a quick band aid at 37 weeks!... I think that's what helped was to know that I could do it. PPH do you mean hemorrhage?

Yeah I haemorrhaged after DS1, worse after DS2, really badly with the twins, not at all after DS5 and only minimally with DS6. I breeze through labour until then! 😉
