Today I am officially eight days overdue. We had our appointment back at the hospital where they have done a sweep and confirmed that my cervix has softened and that, if it comes to induction, they should be able to reach the waters to break them without having to put in a pessary first. All [...]

Hello Due Date!

Well, today is it: 40 weeks pregnant! I have been here twice before and both times there was still plenty more days to go before either baby actually made their appearance! With Lilly having been 11 days over (I went into labour at 10 days over) and Isla having been induced at 11 days over, [...]
Haribo has grown!

Today we had our ’12′ week scan at the hospital and got to see how much little Haribo has grown since we had our first peek three weeks ago. And there he or she was, flipping and stretching and sticking his or her bum up to the screen for us to see, clear as day! [...]
39 weeks – the novelty is beginning to wear off

Well, I am now 39+3 and, if I’m honest, being heavily pregnant is starting to become a bit of a chore. I feel SO huge and slow and heavy, and it is hard work dragging myself around and doing things. I’ve not got much energy, I feel really tired and today I’ve been feeling particularly [...]
Saw bubba!

Yay! 12 week scan today was all fine… saw little bubs kicking and waving away! It was all over so quickly, and although we did get a short but clear look at baby, the picture isn’t very clear (nowhere near as clear as Lilly’s 12 week scan). We saw the legs kicking and we clearly [...]

Well, she was due yesterday but, as I rather expected, she was a no-show! I had my 40 week appointment with the consultant yesterday. He did an internal examination and a membrane sweep to see if that might encourage things along. I must say, it wasn’t very pleasant, but it was all over in less than [...]
No sign of our little lady yet…

Tomorrow (the official due date) one of the girls from my NCT class is coming round to visit with her baby, Lewis. He wasn’t due until the 31st of December, but came along a couple of weeks ago. It will be so strange to see him and think that technically, he’s “younger” than the one that’s inside me!!
