Hey mum 2 3 my first week of maternity leave this week soooo nice!
Lady Laura I'm hoping for August too she just needs to be 6 days early her brothers were both late lol!
Knackered the whole time can't believe I could have another 14 weeks ;-s I'll be dead
The boys were super well behaved and really enjoyed the day I was dreading it but they were so good it was lovely!
Super cute boys fish!
Fish: I hope she comes a little earlier for you then, I was induced 18days early with my first DD due to pre eclampsia, im sure though with being due 18th Sept theres no getting away from the fact shes going to be at home for the extra year. I take my last 3 weeks of holidays at end of July, then maternity kicks in mid august :D im so excited x
I'm also hoping for a late August baby. My doc has always been happy inducing me early. However I've always waited until 40 wks. This time I'll be telling him as soon as he is happy for her to come out I'm on board!! So I'm hoping that's in my 38th wk which would put me at the last couple of days in August. Will wait and see I guess!
Oh salsa lucky you, here in uk don't think they will even if I beg ;-s
I would personally wait for the 39th week because of brain development... Here they will not induce or section unless medically nessisary before 39 weeks... NBP posted a big article about the brain development and why to wait til 39 weeks and it's very compelling...
I heard even 39th week can cause dislexia and learning difficulties.
Isnt it strange how different countries work. Im in the uk, I was induced at 37 weeks with my little girl due to pre eclampsia. Fair reason but if all is well and babys late they wont induce until atleast one week over due, they mostly try a stretch and sweep and if that fails they will thrn book an Induction date for around 42 weeks.x
Wow! 42 wks!! The longest they leave you in one piece here in Aus is 10days over. Never 2 wks! That would be awful. Well if it happens on the date I want I will be 38wks and 5 days. Will wait and see closer to the time. Here in Aus if you need a booked c section they do it at 38wks.
My friend had a beautiful baby girl this morning Emily Ava, interestingly an accidental shettles sway 5 days before o, makes a pigeon pair for her but you'd love her so its okay and she does know how lucky she is!
