Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

I know! All dignity goes out the window.

I wouldn't worry about pooing everywhere while in labour, your body has a 'clear out' before you have the baby. The reason so many spicy things are said to incude labour is purely because they cause the runs and bowel contractions can start uterine contractions When you're in labour, the only poo that comes out is the odd bit stuck in your intestines lol.

I'm fulling expecting to poo lol. But I'd be worried I'd get the runs or feel ill if I ate spicy food. Give me another week though and I might be up for giving it a go! I want this baby out!!

I'm making a cup of cumin tea

I am clearly desperate

 

[bbymc]

Lol, might go to the playpark and have a swing later lol

 

[lj2245]

I was saying that to Stephen lol. I'd look mental...hobbling over on my crutches then swinging like a loon!

 

[Kaybee]

picturing you in the park. sorry but that made me LOL. I went on the flying fox thing a couple of weekends ago with Kaiden and I'm sure it was that that gave me cramps the next night.

How was the cumin tea? I can't imagine it being nice.

 

[lj2245]

It tasted like water...with bits floating in it. It was bearable until the last mouthful when it was just cumin seeds and they all got stuck in my mouth. Ick.

Ewww don't fancy that tea then! Ryan's got this chilli sauce that is so spicy you need to wear gloves with it. He uses it to play jokes on friends lol. You only need one drop for it to blow your head off. Maybe that'd work lol.

I think the swinging might be our best bet. It may induce labour and would be fun too lol x

 

[lj2245]

I had what I thought could be a mild proper contraction about 45 mins ago and was eagerly waiting to see if I'd get another but nothing lol.

So with 3 weeks to go I've avoided stretch marks on my belly. I've got a few on my hips and legs but they're not bad. What's the chances of staying stretch mark free do you think?

 

[lj2245]

I've no idea, I was like a zebra with Shaun lol! I haven't had any new ones this time but that's just because my stomach is able to stretch to accommodate the bump easily.

Have you been using any creams?

 

[bbymc]

I got some body shop body creams for Xmas so I've used them. When they ran out I went onto e45 cream. I put it on before bed every night, that's it.

 

[lj2245]

Hopefully you should be ok then They aren't that bad though, they do fade.

 

[bbymc]

I hope so. I was never bothered about getting them before but now that I'm so close and don't have many, I'd be gutted if they appeared now lol x

 

[Cherrybump]

thanks BB will have to check out the site .

I just laughed my way from the rest of those posts lol.

I heard you might poope in labor to but alot of girls say the midwives dont tell you if you have lol. little paranoid if i do lol but same time cant be helped lol

DIY sweep sounds handy lol but i aint getting Ryan putting in hands up there heck no. Ill stick to this ball currently wriggling on. xxx

 

[lj2245]

There was a girl on 3rd tri recently who said she didn't get any until 38 weeks. You would be gutted!

 

[bbymc]

Btw, any idea how many packs of nappies I should stock up on before baby comes? And how do I know which size to buy? Xx

 

[Cherrybump]

Oh ive only got 4 packs of newborn lol i do need to buy some bigger ones just incase but they will fit in the newborn ones anyways hopefully i dont have a to big a baby for them lol xx

 

[lj2245]

I have about 150 size 1s. I didn't intend on having so many but I bought about 120 pampers then noticed Tesco own brand size 1s were £2 (compared to pampers £3.50 for same size pack) so bought a pack to see what they were like!

I'll stock up on size 2s when they go on offer I want to wait and see what the size 1 Tesco are like though because if they are good I'll just buy them!

 

[bbymc]

I've just got one pack of pampers size 1, one of tesco size 1 and one Asda size 1 just to try them out. Maybe I'll leave it at that and decide which is best and continue with them. Supermarket ones are def cheaper. I've heard a lot of folk say that toujours from lidl are fab too, so I'm gona get a pack to try. They've won some mum and baby award or something.
