Abz - are you allowed on the wii while pregnant?!
My mum always tells me not to go on mine incase I jiggle myself into labour lol! Im not allowed in the hot tub or on the massage chair either...
Hope your MW appointment goes well today x

 

[2ndtimeAbz]

Well I'm pretty close to the end now so I'm hoping to kickstart something! .
I remember trying hula hooping when I was about 5 months and it gave me a load of BH, which was scary at the time, but this time if it leads to contractions it's all good

Last night it told me I was overweight lol, shame there's not a button for 'pregnant' when they ask you why you think you've put on weight lol.

 

[gertrude]

gem - the weather here is wonderful! shame I'm in work this afternoon - arses

 

[lilgemsy]

Abz - Get wiggling away then! Haha!
Hopefully something will come of it, and if not at least you have fun while trying I guess xD

Gertrude- aww haha. I hope you at least work with a nice view then so you can still enjoy the weather somehow!
The nice sun is making me want to go for a swim :3

 

[gertrude]

well I shall be in work knowing it's the very last day for a year for me whilst everyone else will be there all summer I can live with that

 

[Tasha360]

Glad you're home Gem. Cant believe they are making you wait till Monday though huge hugs hunni

Weather is beautiful here today too, shame my garden is a mess

xx

 

[gertrude]

we (well, my Oh did the work with me giving instructions ) swept our yard yesterday so it looks lovely now! I'm getting new paving slabs put down in June so it's nicer than it is now so I'm not bothering planting loads of tubs etc. Normally I grow tomatoes and chillis and herbs etc but given pickles due date, and that the whole thing will be being turned upside down I'm having a year off

still have an allotment though!

 

[CottlestonPie]

Glad you're home and comfortable gem. So sorry they're making you wait til monday. Can you callthe other hospital and tell them how worried you are and ask them to being it forward? I manage to so that with my breech appointment.

I'm on my way back into hospital this morning as they've asked to scan me in case Toby has flipped. I only managed to fall asleep at 6am so I'm really tired... Hope I'm not wasting their/my time.
Actually, I hope I am because I don't want him to be breech again.

 

[2ndtimeAbz]

wow, I would love an allotment! How do you manage to fit everything in, you do so much!

I've got my onion and carrot seedlings sprouting nicely ready to be potted outside, are chillies milder when you grow them in the uk climate?

 

[gertrude]

abz - I am unable to relax - it's a bit of a in-joke in our house I love the allotment and carefully chose things that don't need too much tlc though

god knows what I'm going to do when my phd finishes! that's going to leave a massive whole to fill

chillis aren't milder, they just don't grow as big/as many - my yard is a victorian bricked yard and it acts as a heater when the sun is out so it's a good place to grow them

 

[CrazyBird]

Gem that's shit, why are they making you wait so long. At least your home now.

Loopy hope the appointment goes well

Cottles I hope your little man hasn't turned again. fingers crossed. My little man hasn't really changed positions at all, he has been head down for ages. Maybe he's just lazy.

Also have gorgeous weather here, getting my hair cut this afternoon.

 

[smeej]

Gem - how frustrating for you It's horrile being made to wait when you are worried - I suppose on the plus side if they were urgently concerned about you and Ollie- they would be doing it before Monday
just try to get some rest over the next few days and enjoy what you can of the nice weather xx

Cottles - fingers xd the little man hasn't flipped - and don't feel worried about wasting peoples time - it's important to know these things!!xx

I still have bum sickness, bad nausea and didn't sleep at all last night, but going to go sit in the garden to see if the sunshine lifts my spirits xx

 

[bernina]

Gertrude, sorry your appt didn't go so well. If there is any residual blood left on the bedding hydrogen peroxide works wonders and doesn't bleach colors.

We finally have sunshine here too, just beautiful, makes everything seem so much nicer even though it's quite chilly.

Gem, I'm happy that you're able to be home now with Mom. I hope they get your scan booked soon and can figure out what's going on once and for all. You have not been treated well by drs during your pregnancy and it's so unfair. I wish you and Ollie all the very best that everything turns out to be just fine and he makes a safe arrival into the world when he's ready. Thinking of you and praying for you and Ollie that all will be well. You are a very strong woman and don't ever doubt that. You will be a wonderful mother to Ollie, he is so very lucky to have you. Ugg, just read your update about scan being delayed until Monday, I swear if I was near you I would go to that hospital and ring someone's neck. You do not deserve to be treated this way, I am so very sorry this keeps happening to you.

Toenails still aren't painted, hopefully this weekend!!

Cottleston, hope baby is still head down, good luck at the scan today.

Smeej, hope an afternoon in the garden helps you to feel better soon!

 

[lilgemsy]

Gertrude - Definately pregnant at a nice time arent we! Have all summer to enjoy with our babies

Cottles - FX'd Toby isnt breech again. And get a nap when you get back home! Staying up that late cant be good for you, bet youre knackered!

Ahh Ive put a nice floaty maxi dress on today. Nice and bright and airy and already making me feel alot better. I think Im going to put Mondays appointment at the back of my mind untill I have to go for it now. Stress free weekend sounds lovely!

 

[2ndtimeAbz]

Pointless post but after a few people mentioned it, I painted my toenails a nice cerise pink this morning, even the MW commented! LOL

 

[MissFox]

stress free weekend is the way to go!!
Cottles- really hope he hasn't flipped!!!
All the sunshine is RUNNING from this place!!! It's been DUMPING rain- it's so dark from how much it's raining and overcast that the street lights are still on and it's almost 8AM! Not normal!!!
Well, I had a TON of BH last night- hoping they carry on through today too but really don't think the sweep worked. Fingers crossed for next week lol. Really hope the EPO does something.
I got a couple more pics from the maternity shoot- I really like one of them and the other I wish my hair was different (oh, the little things haha). Enjoy!

 

[CaseyBaby718]

I can't wait to start my garden soon! Still a little too chilly here in DC, but we are hoping to use this weekend to pack the labor bag AND get our garden plots ready for seeds! Mostly DH will be doing all the work. I can't wait to take Josie outside to look at the garden and see our little veggies growing!

 

[Soulshaken]

hey ladies! :wave:

It's been forever, but I've been reading every night as usual, just to tired to post most of the time Hope everyone is having an okay day, sounds like there are some frustrations with doctors and babies flipping and well, the 9th month is just NOT as fun anymore I think! haha Can't wait to have all these little ones in our arms so we can all stop worrying!
I had my first internal exam yesterday and I am dilated to 1, baby's head is down and engaged, the doc said "WOW he's got a big head!!" ... thanks that's exactly what I wanted to hear! haha, then in the afternoon I had some brown gunky discharge (tmi) anyone had this after an exam? It went away and haven't had anything since but it kinda freaked me out...

Work is getting more and more difficult, can't WAIT to be home with the little man and not running around the ER anymore! to all that need them!

oh and I thought I'd put a couple pics from my maternity shoot that was a few weeks ago...

 

[bernina]

Great photos MissFox and SoulShaken!!! You both look gorgeous and love the ones with DH's in them.

I had some pink/brown discharge after my internal so I think it's totally normal. Usually the dr's finger irritates the cervix while checking dilation.

Soulshaken, are you planning on staying home full time or will you return to work after a few months? I'm taking about 3 months off and then hope to return 3 days a week after that.

 

[Soulshaken]

thanks bernina! that makes me feel better...
I WISH i could stay home with him haha but unfortunately I will be returning full time (4 days a week, 8 hr shifts), we get 3 months unpaid leave, so i'll take the full time and then back to the grind!
