Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

[The Alchemist]

I agree. Zoey is a great name. And I'm being a little bias because my dd's name is Zoey lol.

We are team blue and haven't settled on a name yet :/

Sorry ladies, haven't posted in a while as moved house this week so internet was cut off.

Back online again now. Hope you're all doing well. Getting closer all the time. I have half packed my hospital bag (all babies bits are packed and half of mine) so hoping to finish that off over the next couple of days. Started maternity leave on Wednesday too, so am going to spend the next 7 or so weeks getting the new house perfect for baby and generally relaxing.

Not long now!!

Wow, not many zoeys or even zoes around these days which is why we liked it x
it is a definite now, she is Zoey Patricia Elizabeth
my sisters who are 16, 7 and 5 love it, the youngest gave me a present for zoëy last night - a stuffed zoë zebra from peppa pig with a a tiny hard zoë zebra up her dress as if she was pregnant, thought that was so cute and amazing, although I think that anyway because she is a gorgeous sister xx

35 weeks!! Feels like not long left, but then on the other hand I keep thinking urgh it's still 5 more weeks lol

I'm getting extremely uncomfortable now with hip and pelvic pain, sleeping is not really happening so i'm tired all the time. Hate complaining about such a wonderful thing but i'm really ready to meet baby now, 38+ weeks sounds good to me, please not 40+!!

Hope you're all well x

sewing cot sheets today!

Ksilme - great choice where I'm from, Zoey has gotten popular. Boo...but it's still a cute spunky name.

JD - get the birthing ball! I have pelvic pain enough to be on bed rest these days. What helped is the birthing ball. I used it.all day yesterday and today upon waking up, no pain! I'm happy. Pease get it! You can even use it after you have baby and use it to exercise too so it comes in handy.

Creative - that is mighty creative of you ! I wish I could sew!

Its easy! iron the hems and sew a straight line on the machine. It was very quick to do and cheaper than buying "proper" cot sheets.

 

[peanutmomma]

was checked yesterday bc BH are starting to hurt. High, thinned out and just over a fingertip. So I am curious if that would even be concidered dilating yet?

 

[Pisces24]

Hi all, wow been ages since ive been on here. Home stretch for us! Hope you're all keeping well x

 

[GossipGirly]

Ages since I posted! Not long left now! My due date was moved to 8th and im having a girl hope everyone is ok xx

 

[gardenofedens]

Babymonkey - Elizabeth would have been our LO's middle name if we had a girl too It was my grandma's middle name and great grandma's first name

Zoey is quite popular here as well, but still super cute! Good choice!

Not posted in a long while but hope you are all doing well x not long now at all really

 

[peanutmomma]

hope everyone had a good weekend. I felt "off" all weekend, but I am still here. Zaya made up yesterday for moving much all last week. I feel like I have a ball between my thighs now as she is sitting so low. We shall see what this week brings I suppose.

Hi lladies ive also not posted here for a whilst , im due 7th . Has any one had the dreaded braxton hicks as yet ? i started getting them strongish and have had that dull ache down below (oh how i missed that from 16 years ago NOT ) lol .
I feel amazing in myself and have been pooping again now , most likely due to possibly head engaging but who knows as last week she was breech .
Any one else having that yet ? xx

Dragged my Oh round the shops today to do the baby shop all at once. All the pads, shells, nappies, sheets, bedding etc etc etc. Why did I think doing it all at once would be sensible. My feet are like balloons, my wallet is empty and my drawers are heaving. I can't remember having this much stuff in the past.

I have to say it's all a lot more technical these days though. All this bedding malarchy is confusing me. When do babies go into the sleeping bag things? I'm hearing so much conflicting advice I just don't know what to do.

Just got nursing bras to get in a months time and then I'm done.

Other half has been out playing with the new car seat. You should see the old one that we took to the tip. I can't believe we ever thought it was safe compared to what they are like now!

Oh good lord I am been dealing with BHs since 18 weeks... HATE them! They are really strong now and accompanied once in a while with period cramps. I think things are getting revved up for sure! If I am laying down when I get them now I have to sit up, otherwise my blood pressure shoots up and I feel like I am hanging upseide down cuz my head feels like it fills up with blood! Too weird...

I know he is not engaged. At my appt last week he was still floating away in there. He flipped head down at about 33 1/2 weeks... maybe yours will get the hint soon!

Foxy, my first BH was around the 17 week mark when I was traveling. Since then, almost anything can set one off! Apparently my uterus is very sensitive. I had a NST done today and had several BH's each time baby would make a big move. On occasion I'll have one that's significant enough to make me feel short of breath and make my back and abdomen crampy.

Yes, I am the same way! I swear all I have to do is think about one and it'll trigger it! My midwife says my uterus is "excitable," as she doesn't like the term "irritable." LOL...
