it's an antibiotic to prevent against infection (immediately following birth and std's) and to clean out the eyes from anything that may have gotten in them from birth. it's just a clear ointment type stuff.

however, to say that with no ointment they can clearly see you is also false. newborn's eye sight isn't clear anyway but i'm sure the goop doesn't help.

Congratulations Kenny

Gem - Glad your Mum is there for you and at least if you end up at LW it is just down the road. Still not figured out what they are doing yet and when?

Bernina - never heard of eye drops here either, even after the eldest had pooped inside and I was on IV antibiotics afterwards

Loopy - Sorry to hear that, still time lovey <crosses fingers>

Smeej and Loopy x
Sorry Tmi, but when I have been to the loo, a couple of times I have had green discharge. Have rung com midwifes as mine on hols and they said not to worry as it's prob a bit of my show. I asked if I should just pop to the nurse and get her to check for thrush but she said no it's not thrush. When I had a show with Holly it looked nothing like this?? More like a jellyfish (sorry again) on the tissue, and not green.

 

[gertrude]

is anyone else's LO seemingly training for the olympics? I don't think they've ever been this active!

Hun, does it seem like discharge or could it be stained waters? When my waters went with number 1 (albeit in a huge gush, not leaking) the waters being this colour was the meconium in the amniotic fluid.

Besides that, if you are worried I'd ignore what she said and go to get checked anyway

No mine is very quite...hardly active at all. Actually makes me worry but I know its normal. I have to keep telling myself that.

 

[gertrude]

I think it's because today is the first day I'm been sat at home and not being at work/rushing around there or being at mums and doing bits and pieces!

Will mention it to MW as I've managed to scare myself about the cord being too tight around them!

 

[Tasha360]

Yay Kenny Congratulations!

Will catch up and update properly later, demis just waking for her lunch and Ruby's stirring... all good fun

Thinking of you today gem, hope they can deliver Ollie soon. Stay positive xx

Congrats Kenny, looking forward to seeing the pics. Samuel was one of the names i liked for our boy.

Gurtrude lol at the hairy minge, mine had gone wild but i got my OH to wax it the other night as i dont realy like the thought of giving birth with a hairy Mary lol
My lo feels like he is doing the olympics, my oh said its like he is cycling lol, he goes crazy sometimes.

Is anyone else feeling anxious, im not worried about the birth but keep thinking there will be something wrong with bubs as im in so much pain in bed, i cannot get comfortable, hips ache so much and i have a burning feeling under my bump, kind of in my pelvis. Im constantly moving sides in the night and worried that that this is effecting the baby. Am i just worrying for no reason

Toby goes from one extreme to the other. He just spent the last 20 minutes dancing like a madman... but for most of the night/morning I felt nearly no movements at all.

I just got another delayed bonus from work.... Thats £350 in a week! Its not cash but I can use the voucher in mothercare and babies r us and loads of other places... so I'm gonna buy this... but with Toby Baxter instead of Barney, obviously

OH! Heads up ladies... 10% off online orders at Mothercare if you use the voucher code J4AP at checkout

I'm going through the same hun. I wake up every 40 minutes or so because my hip hurts so much that I have to roll over. But rolling over hurts because my hips/pelvis/bump are sore when I move while lying down.
I do sometimes worry that maybe my moving so much is going to make him change position or something, but I think that's partly because he's already proven that he can flip to breech at a moments notice. Hopefully it won't happen again!

Mine is..lol But she doesn't have much room left and it feels as if she is trying to stretch out in every direction in an effort to make more room

Thats exactly how i am, awake every hour as my hips/pelvis hurt to much, but trying to roll over is hard, i keep worrying that by moving so much he will end up with the cord around his neck or something. The midwife said he will be fine though and will just adjust to whatever position i am in. I just keep thinking that if i'm in pain then maybe he is too... So silly! Also annoyed that at my 36 week appointment the midwife said she didnt need to see me till 39 weeks. That seems to long

 

[JakesMummy]

Crazybird - no baby is fine! Like midwife said baby will adjust to whatever Position you move to. My lo is very quiet - I'm guessing she's got to the point where she's stuck for room and literally cannot move. We seem to have quiet mornings and active nights- I'd say she's most active from 5pm- 8pm although I still worry!!
Anyone else in uk got great weather today?!? It's 19c here in Epsom makes a change!!

 

[CottlestonPie]

Yeah its beautiful outside! I'm far too lazy to go out and enjoy it though lol
Although it's stopped me worrying about potential snow on due day!!

 

[caro103]

Congrats Kenny! Can't wait to see pics!

Sorry for the short post today, am feeling kinda pooped! xxx
