Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??
- Thread starter bbymc
- Start date
I def think South Queensferry-ish is the best option. It's 50 mins from me, 50 mins from Karen, 4o from Cheryl (in Hamilton yeah?) and prob about 30 mins through Edin for you Capital girls 
This is all according to Google maps lol.
Maybe we can hire out a conference room cheap and take our own lunch

Best mention it to the midwife again cherry. You can never be too careful. I hope it subsides soon!
Yeah Laura, I was thinking we might be better to see if there's a wee room we can use somewhere. Maybe in the library or something. Lol

Probably not much I wouldn't think. Yeah, I thought a library might be too quiet but they might have had a wee private room we can use. Maybe once we have a better idea of numbers we can find out about the scout place.
I thought of a park/picnic too, but what if it rains? Lol

Dunfermline would be great for me though I reckon South Queensferry is more or less the middle for those of us not in Edinburgh. I was thinking a park/picnic too but we would certainly need a backup for when/if it rains.

Lol yeah.
I've been thinking about Ryan's mum and her comments about when she looks after the baby. It's kinda worrying me. Lol. She lives in a small flat on the opposite side of town from us and as it is now, we see her only once every few months. She can't drive either.
However, with my parents, They live a 5 min drive away, I see my mum every day when she comes and walks the dogs for me and then any day on the weekend when Ryan's working, I will either spend the day with them or will just stay over with them since Ryan often isn't home til 3am or whatever. I can have the dogs at their house no probs and they have 2 spare rooms, one of which is still referred to as 'Emmas room' lol. So there is plenty of space for us. They often watch the dogs for us if we're going somewhere too. And they have a car which they bought so its big enough for us and the dogs!
It's stressing me out cos obviously I'll still go visit and stay at my parents at weekends when Ryan's working. It beats being in on my own and they help with the dogs so its great and mum will still come on weekdays for the dogs if Ryan's working, so my parents will see the baby way more. Mainly though, Ryan's mum is expecting us to want her to watch the baby but if she does it means we'd have to drop baby off all the way across town to her since she can't drive, and then still go to my parents cos they'd need to watch the dogs. It would be much easier for us just to drop the dogs and baby off at my parents since its just along the road! Especially since the baby will have everything it needs at my parents since we'll be there regularly. Baby will be happier there too since she/he will see my mum almost every day. :-/

Thats pretty frustrating surely she would understand that your parent are much close to you and it does make it much easier if your in a hurry.
Just to quickly update you all on my m.w app
my results came back for my urine on friday which i forgot she was sending off lol came back all clear and my pain could be cause by paige being on a nerve she thinks. If i get any more pain i have to see my gp and then on hospital to get check out but since she has being pishing so hard around my belly that pain has gone.. Not had anything since.
Paige is measuring a week ahead and midwife says she defo a good size baby could be around 8lbs eek!! still head down but she thought she might have change to breech as she size its pretty narrow down there i told her i still feel all those pops of hiccups down there so she said ohh that good then she just so hard on the top lol. She's now 2/5th engaged yay so ill having to get bouncing alot more lol. I also asked if i having gone before then can i keep a sweep at my next app which is at 39weeks so that the plan.
Ive just to carry on with my antibiotics anyways and hope the pain goes away totally but i now feel nothing so im hoping it was paige on my nerve lol. Super happy about my app lol

Emma, I can understand why you want your parents to look after the baby and would feel safer with them having him/her but it's nice that your MIL wants to take the baby overnight too! I can understand if she's upset if she doesn't get to have the baby overnight and your parents do. It is your baby though and you have a right to do what you think is best but I'd definitely recommend being honest with her about it. She's more likely to respect you and your decision that way.
Emma it's a tricky one hun. I agree with Laura though, just be honest with her. Maybe you could let her take LO overnight once a month or something? It would let you and Ryan have a wee date night and you MIL would feel more included.
cherry, that's great about your mw app going well, I know you were pretty worried. I think James may have moved down into my pelvis a bit, it feels really heavy today but I can still feel him kicking up top. I had some of those foam shrimp and banana things this afternoon at work and I kid you not, he went mental!!! Think I may have to give the rest of the bag to John! Xx

yeah. I'm happy she wants to take baby and I'm totally happy for her to do that. Once I'm comfortable with leaving the baby with other people, she can take baby whenever she likes. But i mean for us asking someone to watch baby, I'd always be inclined to ask my parents cos they live nearer, they drive and they can take the dogs at the same time. I wouldn't ask her since we'd essentially need two babysitters. One for baby and one for the dogs.
Yeah I totally get your reasons, it's definitely more practical to let your parents babysit but maybe, to risk hurting her feelings when she's obviously so keen to be a part of baby's life, it might be worthwhile letting her do it once in a blue moon. You have the breastfeeding excuse to do the first 6 months, you can say you are exclusively breastfeeding and that's why baby can't be away from you for more than an hour or 2. Maybe by then you will feel relaxed enough to let her have baby overnight even if you don't need a babysitter that night. Sometimes chilling out at home without the baby is the best night ever! lol. You could use her when you want to do that and use your parents when you need someone to have the dogs too?
I don't trust my MIL as far as I could throw her and it's going to take an awful lot for me to leave my baby with her overnight but she is SO keen! She keeps asking how soon she will be able to have the baby to stay and when I say 6 months she says stuff like 'oh I was hoping you'd say 6 weeks!'. Umm...no! Stephen trusts her though so I'm going to have to deal with it when the time comes. I will be using the BF excuse until 6 months though so no need to worry about it until then!
