[gertrude]

and another nosebleed

 

[chocojen]

I wore the socks while I was working but my feet get so hot in them I have given up on them now.

Upstairs is done now, OH is concerned I am nesting!!!! Still got downstairs and food shopping to do

Happy birthday cottles, hope you have a good day.

Aww gertrude not another nose bleed, I've never had one, can't imagine they are very nice. Hope you perk up a bit soon.

Smeej wow can't believe you were still awake at 5am, I would definatly speak to the doctor. My oh brought the single duvet into our room and folded it in half for me to lie on, it was so comfortable and I only woke up every 4 hours instead of 2

Congrats luvmy.

I wonder if more of the april sweet peas have been born but we haven't been told because not everybody on the front pages comes on iykwim.

I've been having lots of shooting pains in my cervix, very uncomfortable, my bellly keeps going hard. Hopefully I'm soon.

 

[Tasha360]

Yeah i bet we dont get to hear about alot of the babies being born.

Happy birthday Cottleston! have a fab day

Boring day for me, just housework to do. Stus paternity leave finishes tomorrow so he is back at work
xx

 

[gertrude]

thanks crazy - tbh the nosebleeds are fine it's the clot that forms that's disgusting it would have stopped much sooner today had I not have blown my nose to get rid of the clot

I didn't have one yesterday and had hope that they'd finished.

I'm having lots of pains in my cervix today too, no tummy tightening though, just the pains. I think pickle is stretching as I feel their feet and my cervix at the same time.

I can't remember if I moaned about it on here but I did book 2 lots of 4weeks pregnancy yoga but my teacher got sick and the second lot never happened. Well she's coming around this afternoon to do a 1:1 session with me and my OH which will be hopefully really helpful as he's not a yoga type person but he can help me remember what to do. Shame I feel like shit (already had a cry about it today)

BLOODY HORMONES! I can't wait to be back on the pill with no hormone nonsense!

Happy Birthday Cottleston!

me and OH are replacing all the doors upstairs as they were old horrible council doors starting to look really nice.
my pains have eased off today. still felt like someone had smacked me down below with a baseball bat when i first woke up but that has gone now thank god it aint nice at all.

hope everyone is ok.

 

[smeej]

Happy Birthday Cottles! hope whatever you do, you have a lovely day today xx

Gertrude - hope nose clears up and you feel better - hopefully the yoga will help xx

Jen - does sound like nesting to me xx


Well i finally seemed to fall asleep about 6.30 am and slept til about 11.30 - gawd knows what is going on with my body clock, but i feel like total cr*p as a result.

Sorry to the other girls who are suffering and thanks for all the advice offered

xx

 

[MissFox]

I've seen a few other April babies that have been born and are o the front page but dont come in here.
Smeej- I would drink the tea a few timesa night when I woke up it felt like a hassle to get up and make tea butit worked out nicly for me
Happy birthday cottleston
Slept in the old house on an air mattress and it has a hole! Poor DH hasn't been able to get any sleep yet and I'm still laying on it bc it lifts him off the ground. Upside for me is that I got to sleep on my belly!
Ill talk to you ladies later- my phone sucks to type lots on

 

[DanaBump]

smeej- try warming up some milk or just drink a glass of cold milk. for some reason that's always helped me pregnant or not.

sam-i may just have to bring in our double air matress now, oh how i miss being able to sleep on my belly.

 

[MissFox]

OMG Dana it was great! I feel bad DH hasn't slept until 6am but oh well because I got to sleep on my belly! If your air bed doesn't deflate just don't fill it up quite all the way and it should be perfect! I have to remember this for future pregnancies!

 

[CottlestonPie]

Oh my god I'm seriously regretting givin the inflatable bed back to MIL now!

Thanks for all the birthday loveliness ladies xx hope you've all had a fab weekend xx

 

[chocojen]

I have had such a good day today, cleaned all the upstairs this morning and then me and OH went for a wlk along the beach followed by a drink in a beer garden at the country pub near us.
When we got back OH did all the floors downstairs while I dusted and now he is making me dinner! It has been great being on mat leave and seeing so much more of him as I have weekends off now.
I just have ironing to do tonight but gonna do it in front of the telly.
Tomorrow I am being visited by one of my uni friends who is 29 weeks pregant, I havent seen her since she was 16 weeks so looking forward to admiring her bump!
Have a good evening ladies, I doubt I will be on here again as OH will be playing his game later

Happy Birthday Cottles! Have a fab day xxx

Gertrude - Oh dear not another one. Theyre very frequent for you lately eh Hope they stop soon!

Smeej - Thats madness that you cant sleep for so long at night :/ Maybe try a warm bath and read before bed to wind down properly? Hope you get back into a proper sleep pattern soon!

Ahhh appointment at the hospital tomorrow. So nervous. Everyone keeps saying it will be ok but we'll just have to wait and see. Trying to take my mind off it but its hard!

Been on a nice long walk today with my best friend... Its like we're from 2 different worlds now. Her life consists of studying, partying and shagging around. Whereas mine consists of baby stuff, money issues and health lol. Wouldnt think we were the same age at all! I feel like Im living a lifestyle thats too old for me atm.
I keep getting niggly pains since I got back. Probably not the start of anything but kinda hoping it is

 

[gertrude]

cottlestone - happy birthday! march is a great month for birthdays

thanks for the kind words - the yoga session was fantastic and I feel a million times better my OH stayed and learnt some tricks for labour too and we had such a laugh. I love how much fun we have with things

pickle seemed to enjoy it too, and I just feel so much less teary! obviously was just what I needed

just need to sort out what we're doing for tea now any ideas anyone?

 

[SazzleR]

Hi girls

Not posted for a while but have been catching up with everyone everyday.

I've been so busy since been on mat leave! I now feel totally ready for bubs to put in an appearance. Hospital bags are packed, all bubs' clothes are washed & ironed, I have a freezer full of meals to see us through the first couple of weeks & we have a clean house. So I just wish bubs would hurry up!

I bet I'm going to be here at 42 weeks getting induced Not had any pains to speak of nor any sort of show so no signs that labour is imminent. Think my bump has dropped so I'll see if the head is engaged on Thurs at MW. I hope so! I'm so tired from not sleeping properly that I just want to go into labour now!

The next 2 weeks best rush by! x

Have Maccies!
Lol Im really craving that lately xD
Had it twice in two days. My old work mates (I worked there last year) probably think Im so fat

 

[CaseyBaby718]

I wonder if more of the april sweet peas have been born but we haven't been told because not everybody on the front pages comes on iykwim.

I've been thinking that too. There actually isn't a whole lot of us on here who actually keep posting. There is QUITE a lot more women who are on the first page and marked down as April Sweet Peas, who we know nothing about. Or having posted anything besides their initial due date.

AFM-- I've been having headaches. I hate headaches. Josie is being VERY active today and was also very active yesterday.
I can't believe i'll be full term in 4 days!! I hope Josie takes that as a reason to start getting her self out so we can meet!!

 

[CrazyBird]

I read a birth story from one of the girls on the first page. Maybe they can't find us anymore lol. Hope your headaches get better. Not nice though.

I like reading birth stories, I hope cami will do one.

Gertrude glad the yoga helped. Its good when you can have fun with your oh. I'm like that with mine, we're just really silly sometimes. But don't get me wrong, he can be annoying at times. But I think all men can.
We had mc donalds for our dinner, my craving has been fries, not really a good craving to have. Oh and chocolate and I hardly ate chocolate before I was pregnant.

 

[chocojen]

Oh cooked me sausage pasta yummy

 

[JazzyCat]

Happy Birthday Cottles!!!

I've been having serious cramping and some contractions for the last two days and I think it's from the raspberry leaf tea.... going to stop drinking it for a day to see if that helps these pains go away. I can't deal with another day of pain like that without LO coming... gets my hopes up but I'm pretty sure it's false hope bc pains go away when I wake up in the morning.... has anyone else noticed cramping who is drinking the tea?
