Mommy to 5 with number 6 due in June!!
I'm still around ladies, struggling really badly recently with some anxiety and ptsd from my last son's birth. So far all my testing and things look just fine, but they also looked just fine up until my last boy was born! I'm 28 weeks though and my OB is hopeful I'll make it to 35 weeks. Excited to start seeing some more beautiful babies coming along though!

You look great Has2!!!
Boyz - He was in the NICU for 11 days
Taytum so glad you are enjoying the early days. If you google 4th trimester it's totally normal that baby will only want to be in your arms for the first 12w and it is highly unlikely to cause a 'bad' habit.
Re the sleeping - at the risk of sounding preachy (someone once blasted me on FB because I offered this same info), it's far safer to do planned co-sleeping in bed than to sleep with baby on the sofa. Please search online for safe co-sleep tips. I hope you know that comes only with love and care xxxxx

This is my 33w bump. 34w tomorrow.
Sorry I haven't posted much - am still struggling with grief and anxiety on top of all the normal life, kids, pregnancy stuff.
I do read all the posts though and hope everyone is well
I m itching like crazy girls. I bled myself on feet from constant itching. I hope my ob has some answers until next appointment on Wednesday. I m taking icy cold feet bath n ice in hands. Thats wht is helping. I hope its not serious cholestasis. I wanted to keep her inside atleast until 38 weeks

Boom u look so gud. I love ur bath tab as well[emoji85]
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Boyz if its simple cholestasis or acute fatty liver of pregnancy then u need not worry and the OB can prescribe something to help with itching
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Boom u look great !
U mentioned dealing with grief ... did i miss something ?
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Thankyou bb. I think she is going to prescribe me urso.
Yeah actually i was thinking the same as what grief boom is talking about

Urso is a good choice ! Hopefull once ur on it it will ease ur symptoms
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Thnkyou bb. I appreciate u answering my concerns

Hopefully your ob can give you something boyz.
Looking fantastic boom not long now.
I had horrid lower pelvic burning last night. Not sure if it was from coughing as i have a cold or because i was sitting on the floor sorting out some stuff. It did settle and i managed to get to sleep. Braxton hicks have been happening on and off and this little one keeps getting the hiccups.
Sometimes i wonder if ill make it to 40 weeks but ive thought that before 😂😂 and always made it there. Which is good as im still working up to 39 weeks and im having a small baby shower in a few weeks. Nothing like i have had before just a few close people over for nibblies. i just can't face some of the comments i know i would receive like oh its another boy. Wow 5 boys you will be busy. Are you going to have anymore. You shouldn't have anymore etc etc etc

Blue and boyz - I had a HT daughter last year but she was born at 28w and died 4w later from a hospital infection. We never got to take her home and her brothers only saw her twice. It has made this pregnancy a very terrifying experience and bittersweet
Boom - thanks for the tips! I'm definitely enjoying the baby snuggles and so is my husband. The hardest part is just at night - we actually have a sectional couch that's leather so it's not a squishy couch and I put the feet leavers up and I sleep closest to the back of the couch. We have a little bed bassinet, he just hasn't really been as into it as we are haha. We're still working though! He sleeps in his rock and play mostly right now next to me. Going to start swaddling and putting him in his crib more. So much to learn as a FTM!
Your picture looks beautiful! Love your bump!! I'm hoping that once you have this little one you'll feel a sense of peace too, so sorry to hear about your little girl. Lots of hugs and love - I'm sure that must have been so hard.
Boyz - I hope you find some relief soon!! I thought extreme itching of palms and bottom of feet was a real concern? I had some itching, but my dr said unless it gets to my palms or bottom of feet there's no concern. I really hope you get some relief - I couldn't imagine!!
Netti - I hope you are feeling better today! I also am hoping your shower coming up is way better than you imagined. I know people don't really understand GD when they open their mouths, but I think it's so cool you've got a house of boys! You're always the queen! [emoji6] I know the grass is greener on the other side, but I'd really love to give my little guy a brother!

So sorry to hear boom hugs.
Thanks Taytum. Most days are good but i still have some days where its hard. But i definitely feel spoilt woth all the boys in the house 😊

I have thought of you often boom, I hope each day that passes takes away a small amount of that anxiety, i cant imagine how scary this must be for you xx oh and your baby bump photo is just gorgeous :awe:
I got the results back from my glucose test and I passed, so thankfully I dont have to worry about that for now. I also got my iron levels tested and they are still within normal range but lower than last time she checked them. about a month ago they were 20 and now they are 15. So the Dr may up my intake but isnt concerned about it for now. hoping all you ladies are going well xx
Good to hear missiz u r doing fine. [emoji106]on passing ur glucose test.
My iron levels were 10 last when she checked. I m taking my pill but i guess its not absorbing well.
Please take care of iron level they can drop drastically over 2 months time
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yayy on passing ur test missiz !
Its best to take iron with OJ and absolutely nothing with calcium not even MV to enhance absorption

I am not doing much to start labour since normally it starts on its own for me but my OB did the formality of talking about options if incase i go over dates and that got be thinking what if i go over dates
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
I didnt take it from last two days. I m thinkin of atleast keep her inside until next week. So she is 38 weeks. I got cramping today after acupuncture and thought she is going to come today.

I m thinking of taking it easy and made acupuncture appointments for next week instead of this week.

Goodluck Bee, I hope bub makes an appearance for you soon xo hang in there xo
@Boyzmommy - I had acupuncture with my DS1, I did it at around 2.30pm and I had achy feelings in my belly which then eased off, but at midnight that night my waters broke and I went straight into established labour! it can be quite effective :)
as for me, I am going to my hospital booking in appointment today and I also have to get my anti-D injection for being rhesus negative. Does anyone else have that too?
Yup missiz, I've had to have it every pregnancy. Except they call it WinRho or rhoGAM here.
