Yesterday was a milestone for me in my pregnancy. I was 33 + 4 yesterday. It was the stage i reached in my last pregnancy. The day i found out i had PE and that my baby had died.
Happily this time round i feel healthy. Just willing December to come. Had scan & doppler yesterday. Everything good with baby and me. Saw my consultant and she confirmed that she will be delivering me at 38 weeks. She also asked how i would like to be delivered. I'm hoping for a vaginal birth if possible.

Hi Bell,
Many congratulations on reaching your milestone so healthily.
Jules, I wish the same for you too. Im so glad this pregnancy feels so very different for you.
I echo Alisons post to you both - looking forward to hearing all your news over the next few weeks.
Kind wishes Liz

Hi Bell,
I know what you mean- getting past where you delivered last time is such a huge step. I was so happy to get to 25 weeks and past that point because it just meant that every day the baby was growing that little bit bigger and stronger. I also thought I'd feel a little bit calmer (which I have), but you still worry so much and I don't think any of us will stop until we hold our babys in our arms.
Not long to go now though! Rooting for you to get safely through the next few weeks!
