Wooohoo for you last day of work Sazzle!!

 

[lilgemsy]

Woo for mat leave, Sazzler

Lol, my mum helped me do my bag... well admittantly it was actually her who packed it and got the stuff all together and that and I just like sat there and watched
She does everything for me
Shes coming home from work for a bit soon to give me a back rub because Im aching like mad and had a bath and stuff and it just hasnt helped!

 

[caro103]

wow gem your mum sounds like one special lady! mine just goes 'yeah thats normal in pregnancy'

just picked up my birth pool , eeek so exciting! xx

 

[DanaBump]

cleaning my bedroom for the last 2.5 hours and barely anything done yet i've non stop worked. me thinks i need to dust more often cuz that's what's taking so darn long. it'll feel good to have it all clean tho.

 

[caro103]

haha dana I have the same problem! hence the deep cleaning last wk, hoping to keep on top of it now though, at least until LO is here! don't want the midwfie thinking we live in a total dump when they turn up!

 

[2ndtimeAbz]

Lol Caro, I've done the same thing too, home visit next week (as long as my hb levels are back over 10 fx'd for results on Monday). I hope she doesn't mind cats as we have a litter of 4wk old kittens in the dining room!
Ah Rainbow, got all emotional reading ur birth story and Alex's face in ur last photo is lovely!!
My Tens Machine arrived today, had fun testing it out on my achey shoulders. Giggling my head off as OH knocked it up quite high and it made me shrug my shoulders and I couldnt stop tensing!!
Good Luck Tasha!! Hope things are going well

 

[MissFox]

so I'm having some contractions every 10-12 minutes for about an hour now- that's when I started timing. They aren't painful though so I'm gonna wait and see if it changes in the next couple of hours- trying to drink lots of water to make them go away.

 

[caro103]

hope hb levels are nice and high abz! i'm sure kittens will be fine, my cats so nosey the 1st thing she tried to do was climb into the pool , not sure claws and inflatable pools mix!

Miss Fox, hope you settle those contractions! though she'd be good if she came now wouldn;t she!? xx

 

[DanaBump]

hopefully lunch will provide me with some energy again. really want to finish this bedroom and the bathroom in the bedroom. i really just wish i could hire someone to do all this for me

i hate dusting and cleaning the bathrooms. yick!

 

[lilgemsy]

These April babies are definately eager arent they!
MissFox - Hope they ease off for you

Lol Im lying on the floor atm with the laptop on me. Baby is trying to kick it off so gonna have to move in a min but ooooooooh its the most comfortable Ive been all day, weirdly.
I just cant settle at all today!

 

[bernina]

Sounds like the nesting instinct is kicking it for lots of us, hope mine kicks into gear soon!

I"m the same way with my hospital bag, just cannot find the motivation to get started. Have a list of what to put in, but actually packing it I can't find the desire to do.

Caro, yeah for the birth pool!! Getting close now!!

Abz, hope the levels come back above 10 for you!

Sazzle, for the start of maternity leave!!

Had my 36 week check-up, dr did group b strep test (just an external swab of the V and A areas, no actual entry), hb is good at 152, my bp is good at 110/70, fundal height was good (still didn't get the number though).

Dr. asked if I wanted him to check cervix and I said go for it. Turns out I'm 1-2 cm dilated and 50% effaced. He said that's a great spot to be in at 36 weeks. Head is also down and he could feel it when he was checking cervix. Getting a few cramps now but guessing that's from the exam of the cervix.

Hope everyone is well.

Best of luck Tasha!! Anyone who has her on FB, please keep us updated!!

 

[caro103]

ooh that sounds promising bernia! glad everythings as it should be too

so my multi purpose tap adaptors do not fit our taps , am thinking gaffa tape might come into play!

 

[CaseyBaby718]

All these babies are trying to get out!! Making me soooo anxious. I can't wait to meet my little Josie!!

Hope everything is well MissFox.

Does anyone know how Tasha is doing? Whether her little ones have made their debut yet?

I've been crying on and off today because of the earthquake/Tsunami in Japan. I guess i'm just really sensitive right now.

 

[lisaed]

not been on here for ages just thought i'd have a peep and see if any babies had put in an early appearence? this has been the worst pregnancy ever cant wait til its over and baby's here (glad ive done it before and know its not always like this)

just been released from hospital again, been throwing up since day 1, on crutches since 18 weeks and now on all kinds of medication, cant work, walk or drive and having to give myself injections can't believe how awful something so natural can be!

 

[caro103]

gosh how horrible for you hun! at least the end is in sight now huh? xx

 

[chocojen]

Tasha has been in since 12 but been waiting all day for more staff to come on, as she normally has quick labours they didnt want to start until there was enough people about, they were due to start things at 7pm. We have visitors arriving shortly but will update you if I get a chance to check later xxx

 

[babybefore30]

Anyone having problems with sore feet - they feel like they are on fire.

 

[lisaed]

gosh how horrible for you hun! at least the end is in sight now huh? xx

yep end in sight worth it all in the end i know!

 

[helen1234]

tasha has got to wait for more staff to come on shift as they anticipate her to deliver quite quickly once she starts, poor girl been sat there since 12pm today.

i dont think i'll get nesting this time, if i get on the floor i cant get back up again

 

[DanaBump]

Anyone having problems with sore feet - they feel like they are on fire.

only when i stand for a long period of time. i put ice packs on them for a few minutes and the soreness seems to go away.
