Naughty in-laws!

 

[MrsMils]

Happy due date Moggy! Do we think Moglet might be a punctual baby and arrive on his due date??!! I hope you're being spoilt today. xx

 

[MrsMils]

My in-laws have booked a holiday for the 11th of September, MIl didn't think they would let me go two weeks over, she has said several time how heartbroken she'll be if she misses the birth. No pressure then?! (I actually said that!). I'm actually hoping that it will mean that I'll have the baby well before that, but will have a week of peace to look forward to!

Is everyone having a nice Sunday? I got up at 7 when DH left for work, pottered about and then got back into bed for two hours.... Just about to take the dog for a waddle (thats all I can manage these days!) and then its my nephew's 4th birthday party!

 

[moggymay]

No sign of him being a punctual baby, think he is leaning towards the later date to make up for his bros birthday being dissed!

Been to do shopping and done loads of washing, GP on in background now whilst I catch up on here!

Know what you mean about the waddling, I went back to bed after getting up for an hour, then have had a nap since food shop and a rest after the first load of washing finished. Mogster has a birthday party to go to later on, not sure I will make it but trying to persuade OH to take him anyway and leave me here - after all hes gonna leave us to go to work!

As went early last time have no experience of this late pregnancy, am so tired and not sure if normal or dietary??? Any thoughts?

Moggy - I reckon moglet will defo arrive this week......i really dont know why but somethign tells me next few days I'm also tired no too......iwas last time too but had more time to relax...this time with Jac it gets to me more some days...especially as 6am is the normal waking for the day now If in douby have a chat with MW though

Ann/Lydia - Hi huns

Hubby gone to chester races today so home alone all day...i'm knackered so it's going to be a long one.....LOL. Been to my parents for sunday lunch though....it was yummy and they entertained Jac for me

Slightly worried that my feet and hands have swollen a bit in the last 2 days.....i know it's normal at this stage but it's come from nowhere really and i had protein in my urine on friday....so not sure now even though BP was spot on. Ive taken 2 rings off and kept my wedding band on as its really thin...but thinking i might have to take that off too I swelled up last time with Jac but never needed to take my rings off......Will see waht results i get tomorrow and go from there. (they're probably not bad compared to most people but its the combination of things iykwim)

xx

 

[moggymay]

Claire I had to take mine off weeks ago, its sad but you do get the nice moment where OH puts them back on again once they do fit...kind of nice IMO

As for swelling try not to worry, you kind of get used to it, I was so sore when mine started I was hoping MW would intervene and induce me but now I kind of want to wait for Moglet to come when he is ready. My hands are kind of funky in the mornings cos I can see the vein on the back of my hand pulsing away behind the join of my hand and index finger

Mogster has gone off to the party with OH, think i managed to convince him I wasnt going to go into labour whilst he was away...have retrieved all the cars etc from under the sofa and doen the washing up, final load of washing folded up - had to put it in the dryer cos so dreary outside Whites tomorrow hopefully in the sunshine then Moglet has a window for arriving before all the jobs mount up again...

Found out something I didnt know today - apparently you can refuse induction and opt for extra monitoring instead to wait for nature to start labour...?

What did you have for sunday lunch? So much nicer if you dont have to cook it yourself, bet Jac had a ball! So hard when you are looking after them solo and are knackered yourself, does Jac nap any better in the day now?

 

[penguin77]

I thought you we're going to rest while mogster was partying...you bad LOL

He does nap now...generally he'll go to sleep within 15 mins and for longer if he goes before lunch at 10.30am ish...... so we'll end up with one 1-1.5 hrs or so nap a day now....
Other days like today he's tired and slept at 10 am but only for 40 mins...so was tired as soon as we came home from my parents. Put him down for a nap and he played for 40 mins he's sleeping now though...eventually. He hates the extra afternoon nap now but he still needs it sometimes Sometimes he'll still blatantly refuse though and he'll be knackered....little devil LOL

We had a beef dinner and cheesecake for pudding....it was fab...and so much nicer when you dont have to do the work..and my mums cooking of course

I'm not overly worried about the swelling...it's just nigling me as its appeared the same time as the protein. If thats ok tomorrow then it's just things taking its course...if not i'll mention it to mW and see what she has to say.

[penguin77]

Forgot too........Happy Due Date


xx

 

[moggymay]

youre passed Mogsters gestation too!

 

[penguin77]

yep....everyday is a bonus now - building on the extra fat and all that...if he/she is like me it'll go on without any problems

I'd like to make 37-38 weeks before he/she comes ...... either way i know he/she'll be here in 3.5 weeks with my scheduled csection

[moggymay]

they both will

Hi ladies - will get a proper birth story up but wanted to check my favourite thread and pop some piccies on for you

I think you probably all have me on facebook and looks like hubby has already updated my status for me with names etc - we have baby Dylan snoozing happily in the lounge now just got home from hosp at last

Your support was sooo good, I was really losing the will to put up with the hospital though I know they were doing what they could it was just not enough facilities.........

Short story is, got into labour suite knackered already, did not cope at all with the drip to kick up the contractions or cope with being immobile and strapped to the monitors/drip and puked (nice!) so figured as I couldn't be active anyway give me the epidural and it was fab. I got a couple of hours kip whilst I speedily got to 10cm and then we had a nice relaxed atmosphere and I pushed out bubs. That part took 2 hours as the contractions practically disappeared but it was fab - I could even tell towards the end when to push myself and I felt amazing.

All three of us (Ash, midwife and me!) were pushing away and he came out with a mega heap of hair cord was wrapped twice around his neck so DH couldn't cut it, but he started hiccuping straight away just like in my tummy

Hospital kept us in due to waters breaking/infection risk etc and were delayed today slightly by potential heart murmur but results look okay and will be back in 2 weeks to check.

Here is my beautiful little man before I pass out and have a snooze - thank you all again it was so helpful knowing you were cheerleading for me lol. Now bring on moglet! Will get on again soon and catch up properly but going to stare at bubs some more

 

[MrsMils]

Hi Lia!! He's just perfect!!! Congratulations and well done you!!! I bet its so lovely to finally be home and feeling like the lovely little family that you are! Dylan is such a lovely name, and from his photos it suits him!

 

[penguin77]

Lia - He is beautiful...... i also love his name Huge congratulations hun and i bet it feels great to be a family now

xx

 

[penguin77]

[MrsMils]

I just realised......Lydia we're in the last box

xx

Yay!!!!! How exciting!!!!!

 

[Fish&Chips]

Lia he is absolutely gorgeous!!! Congratulations. I can't believe how long you had to wait but I'm glad it all went well in the end.

Happy due date Moggy!!!!!

Brigitte, we both go up to our last box tomorrow I think! Only 1 month to go.

Yas, hope mummy hood is treating you well. How's the BF going Yas? Good work with the expressing though. That's my plan if I have problems BF.

costgang!

Congrats on going up a box Claire and Mrs Mils!

We had our last socialising event today and hosted a BBQ. It was lovely but I'm now knackered!

Also I THINK I lost part of my plug this morning. It was creamy and snot like (sorry tmi) and I haven't had anything like it before. Saw a bit on the tissue and then saw a big blob of it in the loo. Also had lots of BH + period pains again today. I'm really thinking he might be early. Do you think that was my plug?

 

[moggymay]

Mogster was born tomorrow in your dates F&C...maybe!

Never had a show with him so couldnt say Claire?

 

[MamaBird]

Hi Ladies!!!!

LIA!: WOW!!!! What a beautiful baby boy!! Can't wait to read your whole birth story! But first rest and enjoy your new little bundle! We'll all be here waiting when you get back!

Moggy: Happy Due date hun!!! I agree with Claire...I think baby will make an appearence this week! Fingers crossed anyway!!

Lydia and Claire: YAY for the last box!!!! I have been looking forward to that milestone ALL pregnancy! And tomorrow it will happen!! Ann and I will be on the last box too!!

Ann: Hun, that is exactly what the mucus plug is. I lost huge chunks of mine a few weeks ago. Same as you described...yellowish/clear jelly...different then just normal discharge. I think I have to agree and little fishy will be here sooner rather than later!! But...what gives me that impression is the contractions and period pain...as the plug can reform. Maybe you'll need to leave work early as well!?

Alright ladies! Well I'm off to relax with hubby!

xo

 

[Fish&Chips]

Thanks Brigitte and we've moved up a box to our last one!!! Whoo hoo! I wonder if Peyton will also be early then? Did you tell your MW about your plug? Think I might call mine just to be safe as it's a little early for him at the moment. I had a few more cramps last night and this morning but they aren't at all regular.

Off to my 3rd NCT class in a bit and then got to get my bloods done again as apparently I was borderline anaemic last time. Not sure how that will effect the labour?
