19th October Ladies ... **5 Births Already**

[Mary Jo]

oh wow, great pictures! I am planning to have a 4D scan with this baby, I had one at 26+6 with Adam and it was amazing. only thing is, the scanning place I want to go to will only do 4D from 26 weeks, and I have an ideal day to go, as my husband will be off work, a week on Monday, when I'll be 25+5. might ring and see if they can do it, it would just make so much sense because husband can look after Adam (I'd go alone). wonder if they'll be fussed over 2 measly days?!

I found I bonded so well with Adam once I had seen what he looked like. and it's not that I haven't bonded with this one - I feel him move a lot lot more, which is nice - but I also think it wouldn't be fair to have pics and a DVD for one child and not the other. how do I explain that in years to come?!

nypage - those photos are soooo cute i love the yawning one!! I loved my 4D scan it was amazing!! Im sooooo tempted to book another one lol

Maryjo- unfortunately I didnt get one of my daughter....7 years ago I didnt even know such a thing existed! Hope she understands she was born in the caveman years. Hahaha.

Mummy- you so should get another one when the baby is chubbier

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Yehhh thats what i was thinking as at our 21 week scan she was still faily skinny, but im still really happy with the photos we got x , I wish i had got one with Tyler too xx

 

[Phantom710]

GREAT PICS! Can't wait for my 3d one but im gonna wait for a bit. (only like 5 more weeks though)

 

[nypage1981]

Yep, the tech told me to come back in 5-7 weeks for my next one. Then they are more filled out. AFter that he said its tough to see much because they are so squished in there!

Ah, nicole, those are fantastic pictures!!! They show so much detail!

Gorgeous scan piccys

Im torn at the mo between getting a 4D scan or spending the money on hiring a birth pool..... i wish i could do both!

I feel really rubbish today ive not been sleeping well and ive had loads of uncomfortable braxton hicks today so ive not got much done at all!

 

[nypage1981]

Take a day off sam and hope you get better. Being lazy when your pregnant body asks for it is nothing to feel guilty over.

Happy fourth of July to the american ladies in here. Enjoy!

 

[sam#3]

I just realised we have only got just over 2 weeks left in 2nd tri then its over to the home straight.......... can you believe it?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!??

 

[Phantom710]

I know! i realized that yesterday. Holy Crap!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Our pregnancies are flying in!!
I cant wait to meet my little girl but i will also miss my pregnancy xx

 

[Mary Jo]

don't forget how badly time slows in the last 10 weeks. I don't think I'll be saying that it's flying by once we're out of August or so!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

This is very true!! haha i remember the last weeks well..... trying every method possible to bring on labour!!

 

[Phantom710]

so how bout a little fun, what crazy methods have u ladies heard will bring on labor?

(so gonna write them down and begin trying at 37/38 weeks LOL)

 

[katerdid]

Oh don't say that...don't want the last weeks to drag by! I'm ready to be done with pregnancy. Too many aches and pains and worries. Just want my body to belong to me again.

* Eat Fresh Pineapple
* Drink Raspberry Leaf Tea
* Spicy Curries
* Sex
* Driving Down Bumpy Roads
* Boob Pumping
* Twiddling Nipples
* Long Walk
* Castor Oil
erm thats all i can think of right now x

 

[Mary Jo]

I tried most of those with Adam and he was still 4 days overdue. didn't do long walks because with the SPD I was walking at a snail's pace and easily exhausted. didn't try castor oil because it's dangerous (can make LO poo as well). and didn't use a breast pump because I didn't have one till after he was born. I did go into labour the morning after a really hot curry the night before but it was probably coincidence.

I've also heard of people trying pulsatilla (homeopathic remedy) and clary sage oil (in the bath, massaged on bump). I did also bounce on my birthing ball like a lunatic but still naughty baby didn't engage till a couple of hours before he was born.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

I tried everything too hun apart from the castor oil (ive heard the dangers too) and the breast pumping but am gonna give that a go this time

and i still went 13days over GRR!! LOL x

 

[Mary Jo]

ack, 13 days. I bet it really dragged by! I'm banking on second babies coming a bit quicker, but maybe I shouldn't? I don't want him to come much before 40 weeks (between 39 and 40 would be fine) because I'm planning that my mum should come and stay beforehand so she is there and can look after Adam. I think I'll get her down from from 39 weeks. if nothing else I should get a bit of peace and quiet if she takes Adam out!
