It is really stressful not knowing what the outcome is going to be but I'm staying positive with the help of my partner, we both know what could happen but we are remaining hopeful and keeping faith that she will fight through to stay with us xxx

Have they said she has 50/50 chance of being born alive or is it a ongoing thing xx

I think its good to spread the cost, very sensible. Will def go crazy after we find out the sex!

I don 't mind to be honest, i'd eventually like at least one of each. I have a feeling i've got a boy, but i couldn't tell you why! A client did the ring trick and it came ip boy and my mum thinks boy as well. I lost my grandad last Sept, whom i was very close to so i'm wondering if thats why we all think boy. One life ends, another begins...

(Trying my hardest not to well up right now!)

Do you have any preference?

Thoughts are with you hun, I lost my dad five years ago this year so I know how hard it is. I'm also thinking it's a boy, but that could be because I've always wanted a boy first. Haven't tried the ring thing yet but I may do later tonight.

I'd like to have 3 eventually but not sure if that'll be the case after this one lol.

Are you starting to show yet? X

It's 50/50 for the first couple of months (ish) she's fine all the time I'm carrying her but once she's born it's 50/50 and then after her repair op it's dodgy again. I think the hardest thing to start with is knowing I won't be able to have any skin to skin contact with her until they can get her stabilised but her birth is going to be planned a few weeks early so the right team are there ready and waiting to whisk her off and look after her. I'm going to be going to the princess ann in Southampton and apparently they have one of the best neonatal wards in the uk so I just got to put my trust in them to look after her xxx

If anyone had told me something like this would be happening in my life, I would say I would never cope with it. But it's amazing the strength you find when you're faced with it and have no other option we were offered a termination at 21 weeks but I would have had to give birth anyway and our decision was to carry on and hope all turns out well. And I'm believing that even if I only get a few minutes with her, at least we tried and didn't give up on her, and those few minutes will make the last 38 weeks worth it
Aww bless u, I'm sure everything will be fine, let me know how you get on hunni xxx

All the best pika, baby is gorgeous, really hope everything is ok for you x

I loved being pregnant & love even more being a mum to my ace little boy, so we have decided to save & have ivf again (can't have children naturally) so we will try give Taylor a little brother or sister.

I'm not pursuing with it just yet as my little one is only 3 months old, but another couple of years we will.

Taylor took 10 years trying & 2 rounds of ivf, so I think it's only fair we save enough for 2 rounds & give it the same as we did with Taylor & then what will be will be. x

this is my local Hosp and where most of my family (siblings, nephews, niece, kids, grandaughters) were born, 6 of which were in neonatal.

Being in the area and working in the community I know many many babies who've had long term care there for surgical issues.
They are a fab team and one of the consultants Dr Hall is amazing - he was my sons consultant from birth to 17, Dr Hall moved from paediatrics to Neonates when my nipper was 6 but kept him and 1 other on as my nipper has a very very rare condition and it was easier to keep him than have another learn about this condition - my nipper was only person in Hampshire with it until his late teens.

Anyway, I know that whichever team your little girl is born into she will be going into fantastic hands.
I hope she does better than expected and that she will be home far sooner than you plan for.

Say hello to Maximus Giganticus currently 7lb 5oz at 36 weeks + 4 so they're expecting a 9lber at my home birth. . . If only they could give you an epidural at home! Gas and air only. .. and a ruddy great rum and coke afterwards i feel! Anywho after an eventful scan (wanted me to have another GTT which I now don't have to have thanks to my midwife yay HUGE needle and hospital phobia here) baby Max is doing really well and just one bonny baby! So here he is, face on for camera!

My first was 8lb 6
my second 8lb 11
With my third I measured about 3 weeks ahead for the whole pregancy, I had diabetes tests etc also had low placenta and sporadic bleeding throughout so had 6 or 7 scans in total, at each one they said "oh it is huge!" but I wasn't too fussed as I have to have c sections anyway.
My last scan was at 35 plus one day, they said she was measuring about 5lb but she was born 3 days later weighing 6lb13 which is huge for 35 weeks! but small for me, having been 10lb when I was born. Just shows how out these scans can be

Hi everyone! I'm due to go in for an elective section tmrw at 8.30..... Currently been laid in the bath for 30 mins, I've been having contractions since 4am! So I think my princess is either playing games (had pains on & off for a week & lost my plug last week) or she's eager to come out! Wish me luck!!! 😁😁😁 xxx

I'm laid in bed in agony counting my contractions.... They asked if there was no complications if I wanted to go ahead with a normal delivery & I said yes, but thinking how the hell will I know if there's complications or not? Gonna wait till 9 & ring the ward. I'm too tired to give birth!!!! X
