Great news Tally :)

Sounds scary Charmed, thinking of you xx

I am 37 weeks today (ticker is out I think), today, at this gestation, my 3rd baby was born and my first was already 9 days old. Three more days and it will be the most pregnant I've ever been!! I have a relaxation package booked in for Friday morning (kids at school & preschool) so I am determined to enjoy that and then seriously get in the mindset of having another baby.

I've had a gross side effect of late pregnancy the last two days -the clear out *ewwww* really hoping I am one of the people who can have this stuff happen for ages before my body actually decides to go into labour as I am not ready and I feel I have the greatest chance of a VBAC the longer my baby bakes.
 
Ive been losing little bits of my plug for about a week whenever we dtd.. But just now i lost about a dime sized chunk of it and we didnt dtd at all today. No blood though. Lol how long will this go on for before babe decides to show
 
I lost chunks the size of AA batteries a week before they did my C section.
 
Congrats on all the babies! So cute!

I'm enjoying having both of my boys home now. Cuinntin spent 12 days in the NICU, and Jaetin spent 15 days in there. I was very emotional and I am just thankful to have them home now.
 
So glad you have your little ones home with you now Double! I couldn't imagine leaving my baby at the hospital. I would lose it.
 
Best news Double!!:happydance::happydance: It is heart wrenching having your baby not be with you. So glad you're all home:hugs:
 
Yay for babies!!!! They are all so so so precious!!!! Congrats mommas! Great job!!:happydance::yipee::wohoo:

AFM, I've been in prodromal labor since 34 weeks. Definitly not comfortable and lots of L&D visits, but happy she still is in.

I will be 37 weeks on Wednesday and tonight my contractions are getting painful- I'm going to start timing them.:coffee:

Xoxoxo !
 
Lost my plug last night and still having BH.


Good luck ladies
 
Well, Oliver's movements have returned to normal now, but because I've had so many instances of reduced movements, they're keeping my induction date. It's kind of scary to think I'll meet our little bear in 2.5 weeks!

Work on the nursery starts today, thank god! We've got Oliver's things in our bedroom, the lounge is still boxed up & everything is off the floor in the kitchen as that's being put down today! Well, part of it. Looks like if everything goes to plan, we'll have a weekend of relaxing before I go in for my induction. Yikes.

Hubby is scared that he still doesn't feel confident changing nappies and putting on baby clothes, so we're going to practice on a teddy. Hehe.
 
Congrats for those ladies has been giving birth to babies! They are beautiful! Sorry I wasn't in most of time now because of kids and things to be done around the house.

I haven't got any show yet or anything. :-( Will be 37 weeks this Thursday. But still getting BHs and baby moving is hurting me now lol!

At the moment, my mind is all over place since I saw my consultant last week, she read all of my notes and noticed that the water birth is my first option but was told I can't have it due to no waterproof to protect the equipment by a male consultant at 16 weeks appt I think. I was accepting the fact that I can't have that so spoken to my midwife and she was the one who suggested for home birth and I was going for it but since I saw my consultant and she said I can have waterbirth at hospital - wtf?! She said they does have equipment that can monitor the baby and me in the water pool. I got less than 4 weeks left to giving birth and my midwife said I can have hire a pool for home birth so have to do research!!!! I also was angry because I was told no at first time now told me yes I can!!! Cons is happy for me to have home birth due to the baby is growing perfect and she is aware of my plan of doing home birth and she don't plan to stop me.

I told my midwife at my appt last week that I wasn't happy at all. So I don't know what to do now. :-( sorry rant over!!

I wish I can have a baby now so all things like this will be gone forever as this is my last baby. :-(

Hugs to all of you and thinking of you all xxxx
 
CONGRATULATIONS! :happydance: Its so wonderful to see so many beautiful babies. I can only imagine how blissfully exhausted the new mammas' are feeling. Sleep. Heal. Love!

Well, I'm officially 37 weeks+1!

LO has dropped substantially over the last 2 weeks. Not only is there increased pressure in my back and pelvis...but my cute baby bump now looks like an old mans beer gut! hahahah:laugh2::laugh2:

Aside from the dropped belly. I'm feeling okay. I'm in discomfort. I tire really easily, and hit a wall around 2pm. We're all ready for the baby and our hospital bags are packed - just in case.

This weekend I went thrifting for some post-baby outfits. Comfort and accessibility for breastfeeding will be really important. And in Canada, there is no graceful transition from summer to fall/winter. Its instant, with no warning, and it gets COLD! So my summer maternity wear won't be much use.

Found a lot of cute baggy shirts, long flowy and/or baggy cardigans, flannel button down shirts, and leggings leggings leggings. I have a few nursing bras and tanks, so I think I'll be set.

How is everyone else feeling? All ready?
 
I need to go shopping for some post baby clothes, I'm just not sure what size to go for :haha: When's the best time to go shopping for nursing bras? My boobs haven't really grown at all since getting pregnant, so I'm unsure how much they'll grow once my milk is in! My maternity bras still have room in them, so I wonder if I get a couple at this size & then get more if they're ok?

Next job is to buy all the things we've forgotten & lots of easy to cook meals! Lol
 
I'm all ready. Got my bags finished this weekend.

I plan to keep wearing maternity clothing until it gets to big and THEN shop, so I don't waste any $$. I did buy two nursing sleep bras and a nursing tank though. I'm so excited to go shopping and REALLY hoping my feet didn't grow and it's just the swelling because I have about 50-60 pairs of shoes.
 
Charmed, your DH will have loads of time to practice when baby is here. Fortunately they cry when you do it correctly and they cry when you don't so he'll have lots of time to get the perfect bum wiping techniques down:haha:

Nanaki, I was transferred from MW's to a hospital for blood clotting issues then transferred hospitals to another hospital (a new one) as they were meant to have birthing pools. Turns out they don't:nope: Not please about this but it sounds like you still have options? I'm going to make use of the private bathroom/shower if I need, the bikini & trunks are already packed.

Hope87 I was just on ebay this morning picking up a cable-knit onsie sweater style as it's getting cold here in Calgary! There are SO many cute things on ebay, fair isle toques, dresses, leggings, and onsies and faux fur jackets. I'm a bit frustrated now because I don't know the gender and there are some really cute things that have auctions ending soon. What do do? I can't find things like what I've picked out in the stores here, our shopping is very limited and much more pricey than ebay.
I picked up a gorgeous neutral bunting soft suit from North Face brand new for $20 last week and a down puffer jacket for 0-3 mnths old. We're set!

These are the things I want to get but don't know the gender yet:

So glad your babies are home with you, where they belong double!

Feeling awful the last few days. Keep getting horrible stomach cramps if I eat too much and throwing up x I've had a dodgy belly for days now. I am at the point of being fed up but still not ready to deliver yet. 38 weeks on Thursday!x
