April ladies ...were having our babies THIS month :)

[Brunette_21]

Well I'm up at 3:47am not because of labour but a poorly son who is so bunged up I can actually see where his nose and sinuses are swollen and he's struggling bless him.

He's just woken up again crying because it hurt but is now so tired he's fallen asleep in the time it's taken me to go get him some calpol. I really do hate seeing him not well, and have had an evening not thinking about baby at all as I'm busy dealing with the one I've already got.

Forgive my ignorance ladies but what's proposal labour? Never heard it Before.

Have you tried Vicks on the soles of his feet with socks over for the coughing? It's a miracle cure! Xx

I also put vicks on my daughters toes as your toes are connected to your sinuses through reflexology xx

[Bekah78]

Wow, there's 24 of us. Lovely to have so much support at this time.

 

[Hopeful Cat]

So many babies in our future!! I'm due April 20 and can't wait. Hope i can gain strength from you ladies as I'm becoming pretty impatient as the days go on haha. Had false labour the other day and nothing but occasional AF type cramps and upset stomach since.

 

[babyjan]

Redhead, hope your lil one is feeling better soon

Qmama, I hope lil man hurries up for you! Wasn't your first born early? Not sure if it was you who said it or not

AFM, I'm feeling better today, no more vomiting but I still feel weak and a lil sickish! My waters broke with my first at 39+1 day. I'm not really having anything to suggest labour is close... I do want to feel 100% before it starts though.

 

[Redhead84]

Thanks ladies. He was up and about as usual at 6:30 this morning despite getting me up every half hour bless him. Thankfully Daddy took the strain but they have been busy bees taking apart washing machines to go to the tip etc so the noise made me get up anyway... Sleep is for the weak!

There is no way I'm having this baby on time, my current thinking is back end of next week, Friday/Saturday maybe. Still not got everything I want either so heading out in the rain today to get a few last essentials, well I say essentials... Things I want that'll make life easier from learning first time around... Before hopefully getting a bit of rest this afternoon.

I shall try the vicks thing tonight if he's still v snotty

What do you class as essentials? Being a ftm it would be good to know if anything I'm missing that you ladies found really helped.

 

[Boozlebub]

Been stalking for a while but will say hi now!

I'm Boozlebub, I'm 24 and have a 2 year old DS and due a little girl on 28th April.

Starting to get fed up now. DA came smack on 39 weeks so hoping this little lady does the same or even a bit earlier!!!

Exhausted today as DS was up 4 times last night screaming. Now today he refuses to walk on his foot and says it hurts and cries when he puts weight on it. not easy having to carry him around all day.

 

[hellojello25]

38 weeks today! We finally got the dresser for his room, so today while BF is at work, I'll be putting on the finishing touches. We are getting very excited to meet him!!

What do you class as essentials? Being a ftm it would be good to know if anything I'm missing that you ladies found really helped.

Absolute essentials I class as nappies, wipes, muslins, clothes and some form of feeding baby as well as somewhere for him/her to sleep!

Pram and car seat obviously as transport but after that its really how much you want to buy. I don't have fancy swings or chairs, although we do have a basic rocker chair and first time around we didn't even buy a special steriliser (though we have this time).

I used an old satchel as a change bag for my son. I didn't get around to getting one before he was born and just never bothered in the end.

It's really up to you how much you want to get but as long as you can change, feed and clothe them then they'll be fine until you find your feet!

 

[Natasha2605]

Little miss has moved further down into my pelvis, I'm so uncomfortable today!

think we are pretty much organised. Pram to collect next week and I think that's about all that needs organised tbh.

Full term here is 37 weeks, here's my bump picture :

Sorry to hear you're uncomfortable. Have you noticed any others changes now that your bump has dropped or did you get any increase in BHs / shooting pains just before it dropped?

I'm about 5 days behind you and I'm pretty sure my bump has dropped today too. I had loads of shooting pains last night when I was walking around, but they settled down when I went to bed. I wouldn't say I've been more uncomfortable today, I just feel like the bottom of my bump is more squashed when I sit down and the top of my bump is very sloped rather than sticking straight out. I've also noticed this evening that the baby is moving around loads, and is occasionally making me wince when it pushes down.
