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

Happy full term teacup. Hope little miss makes an appearance soon.

I can't believe we will all have babies soon. I'm struggling to believe that in a few weeks I'll actually have a new born

Thanks!
I thought the same this morning! It's just sunk in now that I'm going to have another child and a teeny newborn

Foxy I did like counting the days but once it gets under 20 I'm going to be panicking!
We've not got our crib yet because mothercare ballsed up

 

[babymonkey18]

Lol teacup...only one more day for you then before the freak out

Congrats, full term!!! do you have any feeling of baby coming soon...before due date?

 

[JDH1982]

Congrats on full term teacup!! It's all so exciting. I can't wait to see everyone's piccy's and to share my own xx

 

[Foxy37]

Im feeling odd today and slept amazingly well , hmm could it be a sign or is it wishfull thinking lol .
Bit of an achy belly and feel like i want to clean the house . We done litter picking today with our neighbors so a bit of walking was done and some gagging due to some grusome findings lol xx

 

[teacup22]

No freak out! The lady in Mothercare found one in the back and DH is building it as I type
I'm not sure if she will be early I think around due date but I'm so uncomfy and getting contractions, my mum said that se was like that the entire last month though
DS was a couple of days early so I think she will be a very October baby

How many cups of rasberry leaf tea are you ladys drinking , must admit i really like it as usually drink orange and honey to ease conjestion so this is bliss . Ive also started on epo capsules any one else ? xx

Had my baby shower today! Feeling the love from my friends and family. So many gifts, its still hard to believe I will hav a little someone to fit into all these clothes. And use all these baby things with... Best get started on the washing of it all soon. Well after the house gets another clean first. 36 wks for me tomorrow. 3wks of work. All things counting down till d-day now. Lots of things to keep me occupied between times.

Can't believe so many ladies are now full-term and there are only a few short weeks left to go!

I think we finally have everything we need for baby now, apart from a baby monitor (which we'll get once he moves into his own room or we start putting him down for naps on his own) and the snacks for hospital bag. Just waiting for the last couple of bits to be delivered tomorrow (bath, moses basket sheets and bath/room/head thermometers). It still seems surreal to me that I have all this baby stuff around the house and a huge belly which kicks and prods me, and that it's actually a baby. Not sure it will truly sink in until he is nuzzled into my arms !

I am taking the RLT capsules as I cant stand the taste of the tea I am only on 1 a day at the moment as I only started them on saturday, Will up to 2 a day on Thursday (full term) Then up again in another few days/week. Im not actually taking EPO. I know some people insert it vaginally too dont they.

I actually packed my hospital bags at the weekend. I am missing a few things but they can be shoved in nearer the time. The main bulk is done.

Also, UK Ladies, I got a good deal on a breast pump yesterday. I got the medela mini electric in kiddicare, they price matched babies r us and took 25% of the difference off, so i got it for under £39 and it is normally £70! Bargain hey. Almost half price!! Even the lady at the counter was impressed

i myself hope to bring Zaya home today

That would be brilliant news!

 

[teacup22]

Miss K - it's weird isn't it... We set up the crib in our bedroom and it still doesn't feel real!
Lovehearts - that's a total bargain!
Peanut - great news about Zaya!

It's funny some days I can't wait for her to be here and then today I feel really unprepared!
Had midwife appt and discussed birth plan, then next time I see her I'll be 39 weeks.... DS was born in week 39!

 

[Foxy37]

Sry I replied to this on my phone the other day but it must not have gone through!


Good question about how much...I am curious as well! How much are you drinking?
I am going to start the tea at 36 weeks, probably 2 cups a day. Will prob increase to 3-4 at 38 weeks. This is all based off of my midwife's recommendation and what I've researched.
As for EPO, I am going to take it orally starting at 37 weeks.

 

[Foxy37]

yes ive been taking 2 cups a day since 36 weeks and have just upped the dose of epo to 1000 a day xx

 

[teacup22]

Really bad back pain coming in waves..... I bet it'll fizzle out again

 

[gardenofedens]

35 weeks down and 35 days left to go! 7 days until I'm as far along as I was with DD when I went into labor. 9 days left until I delivered her. 13 days until the day I've guessed I'll delivery (10/27). 14 days left until I'm full term! WOOHOOO!
