Surrounded, that's honestly awesome! I hope he comes early for you! I'm hoping mine does too but I'm only 32 weeks.
I have my iron infusion Wednesday. They said my iron levels are at like a 6 and they should be in the 12-14 range. So no wonder I feel sluggish and like crap all the time. I'm anxious to get it done and enjoy the last leg of this pregnancy.

Best of luck with the infusion Eighme! 6 is super low alright. I've hit just under 8 on a previous baby and was practically on the floor. You'll definitely see a big, and very welcome, change!! X

I'm pretty much half way through my treatment. Finding the side effects very minimal. Still pumping and dumping and counting the days till I can give it back to her!

I have a tentative induction scheduled for Thursday at 41 weeks, but that might change for a variety of reasons so that's a huge stress. I would have bet money that this baby was going to be here in December and now we're well outside New Year territory! Was already well home with baby in arms with DD, and I was a FTM! Can't understand what's going on here other than baby probably dreading me because I've been so hateful for weeks
ABC, I always wondered if your twins would come before I had mine -- looks like they will, haha!
simkan, you are seriously amazing for al you are doing and going through ♡
Oh TP you have just described the weeks leading up to my DS2s arrival to a T!! For what it's worth, I was induced by having my waters broken and he was in my arms 44 minutes later while I felt like superwoman. The best of my three labours for sure having all that work done beforehand!! Sending lots of positive labour vibes your way, the end is almost here xxx

My first was over a week early and my second was late. Waiting around for my second the extra two weeks beyond the point at which my first would have already been born was awwfuuuuuull! It felt so long! Sorry you’re going through that too!
I hope Thursday goes well if you end up inducing.

Thanks ladies, that helps a bit. I see everywhere that subsequent babies are supposed to come earlier, and here I am 40+6! I keep feeling like something has to be wrong, especially since I keep having timeable contractions that go away. I was going to say most of you having boys helped me feel a little better too, though Mia's also later second baby throws that off! :P
Woke up to a series of ROUGH contractions today -- like later stage labor pain rough -- and THOSE stopped too. Ugh! Induction is tomorrow but I'm calling them to see if we could push it one more day.

Thanks Pbn and BBB! I'm so ready!!! It's been such a long 2 years with this whole swaying/pregnancy process!
Simkan I'm so glad your treatment is going well and that baby girl is doing well too!!!! Hope you get her home soon!!
TP WOW that is one stubborn baby LOL! I'm still hoping the lateness means boy though! Surely you must be going into labor soon if you keep having those on and off contractions!!!! Ahhh it's so close now though - whether you go into labor on your own or induction!!!!
Hopper - I'll be 37 weeks on Monday. Basically it's the earliest they are willing to induce. I'm a little nervous that we're inducing before the babies are "ready" health-wise, but in the US most docs only allow twins to go to 38 weeks anyways so it's only a week earlier. Hopefully they will do great! My cervix keeps changing a little more each week too so both my doctor and I just don't think they'll stay in 2 more weeks anyways!

TP I don't blame you for wanting to avoid induction I hated it too. I went 9 days over with 2 of mine (That's the longest they will let you go here) my waters always go first before even the slightest twinge so at least there's no guessing or start stop for me. I will say tho that once my waters broke it was usually 2-3 hours after, that the girls were born. This time even tho it was exactly 3 weeks early, it was the next day before baby boy put in an appearance! Maybe boys really are stubborn lol x

That always got to me too, everyone says "oh the more u have the sooner they come" and then all 5 of mine were 1-5 days late. (ps my boys were also later than the girl who was only 1 day late) Good luck TP!

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
