I hope the scan comes back normal for your little one. 
Youāre so close!
Also hoping Kās test comes back negative. I had the same worries about figuring out a way to get myself to the hospital should one of us test positive. Itās an unpredictable time to be pregnant.

@katinka I hope everything turns out okay. It must be so stressful. [name_m]Just[/name_m] wanted to say that my 3rd was quick and I expected my last to be even quicker but in the end active labor was about the same. Birth is so unpredictable. I had all of these fears about giving birth in the parking lotāI donāt drive and had to take a taxi to the hospital, and I was alone as my husband was with the kids, so I was very worried, but in the end I was induced and the whole process took much longer! You just never know. Good that youāre preparing and being open to your options, but hopefully everything will go smoothly for you and your family. Best wishes. Youāre almost there!

Fingers crossed its a negative test and growth is okay. That all sounds so stressful and being stressed is not what you need in these final days!
Iām also worried about covid and someone getting sick just before the birth. There are just too many variables and scenarios to try and plan for

Good news on both counts!
Kās PCR came back negative and heās been so much better today, although I kept him home again just in case. And the growth scan showed no concerns and apparently baby is in a good position. So relieved!

Congratulations!! [name_f]Glad[/name_f] youāre doing well!!
We are still waiting for [name_u]Baby[/name_u] #2. [name_f]My[/name_f] mucus plug fell out on Thanksgiving but nothing else has happened since 
[name_f]My[/name_f] first was 8 days late so part of me isnāt surprised, despite so many people saying the second baby comes faster haha.
Iām feeling fine though and the baby is still nice and active. Weāre all pretty impatient for her to get here - my daughter was shaking my stomach yesterday yelling āCome out, baby!!!ā

Sorry to hear youāre still waiting @lehassebrock ā if youāve lost your plug thatās a great sign though, Iām sure sheāll make her appearance very soon Your daughterās excitement sounds very sweet!
I canāt believe itā¦ I think my period just came back?! Iām only 6 weeks and 2 days postpartum & exclusively breastfeeding now so I really thought Iād enjoy a few more months cycle free. Too bad I had a c-section and have to wait 18 months to get pregnant again otherwise Iād be seriously considering going in for round 2

@elleplume itās possible, but just so you know, I was 8 weeks postpartum after my first and really thought I was starting periods again, but he was 9 months old before I became regular. I had a false start or two after both my boys and am thinking Iām looking at the same phenomenon right now after my daughter. Exclusive breastfeeding till 5 or 6 months also. Best wishes!

Aw man! I have heard of some people having a random period one month and then nothing for months, but I also know people who got their period that early and it stayed regular .
I know the mini birth control + breastfeeding can really delay regular cycles. I did both and didnāt get my first cycle until my LO was about 14 months and they were irregular for probably 5-6 months after that.
Still no baby 
. Her eviction is scheduled for [name_m]Friday[/name_m] morning. Iām still hoping labor might start naturally before that, but at the same time
I ended up needing pitocin with my firstborn anyways and everything ended up fine. [name_m]Just[/name_m] hoping that the labor will be better this time around regardless

Keeping everything crossed for you and eagerly awaiting your happy news! 
Thereās something about the newborn stage isnāt there?! Itās exhausting and messy and emotionally all over the place but itās such a precious time. Iām cherishing it all the more this time. Sasha is a week old tomorrow and itās already going way too fast 
How is Flora getting on, @elleplume? And how is everyone else doing?

@katinka yes the newborn phase is so intense and glorious! [name_f]Flora[/name_f] is doing really well now. We had a tough few weeks trying to get breastfeeding fully established and sheās had some big feelings to work through since leaving the hospital (lots of crying) but Iāve taken her to a couple of osteo appts and her feeding has really improved, sheās gaining weight and is much more settled! Now itās mamaās turnā¦ I need a massage! Thanks for asking
