YAY TOBY!
Congrats Tasha!!! DH's Best friend is getting married that day too and we're also celebrating my grampa 75th birthday that day (it's the 19th though).
Jen your nursery is ADORABLE! I can't wait to get mine set up.
Dana- Crazy but I also gained 3lbs at my 36 week appointment then I went to the Dr the next week and had lost 1lb. So was still at 2lbs in 2 weeks. Made me happy! 36 week though I was pretty swollen and my belly had grown a lot so that's when they checked and found out AFI was good and so was Rosie's size.

Ohh Congratulations, Tasha

 

[smeej]

just back from midwife -

Bubs is 3/5 engaged!
Also I'm measuring 44 weeks due to her being large and all the excess amniotic fluid - no wonder i feel like a beached whale and can hardly move!!

She also thinks it's likely that nature will take it's course and that i'll go into labour before my induction/section date in 2 weeks. In alot of ways I hope I do............I just need to ge my voice back first!

I really don't see how ican possible grow any more without exploding!

Congrats Tasha - I got married in July it is a lovely month. Blimey Smeeji I feel for you, hopefully baby will come out soon. I have been so lazy today have just sat on the computer playing games at least I have been cleaning but will need to get back into tomorrow as have a pile of ironing to do.

 

[chocojen]

Blimey smej!!!!

Anyone heard from gem? x

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Just got back from Dr..nothing exctiting. Was having contractions while on NST but nothing major just the fun old BH. He has slowed down in growth but since she had a hard time with head measurment she thinks is off...he is about 7lbs 10oz now...he is so scrunched in there. His feet are up over his head and it looks like he is scratching his head with his toes. LOL We are all set up for a amino and unduction next monday...have to be there at 8 am. So in 1 weeks I should have my baby!! WOOOOHOOO

 

[cola pops]

Lovely news Tasha congratulations xx
Blimey Smeej, hopefully won't be long for you. At least 1st babies are less likely to disengage their heads (or so I have been told), unlike mine who keeps trying it and popping back out again, Lol xx
Pleased your little one has turned for you cottlestone, was it painfull?

 

[cola pops]

Ahh Reeds, it must be lovely knowing you only have to wait a week. I keep saying 3 weeks to go, and everyone keeps reminding me, it could be 5.......meanies x

Oh, I am sooo close to slapping the next person that says "most first time babies are late".

LOL! I have 4 weeks left! 4!! You got that!!

 

[babybefore30]

Hah hah Casey - everyone keeps telling me that to - if I go overdue I have another 7 weeks on maternity leave with no baby - why oh why did I have to get signed off.

 

[CrazyBird]

Congrats tasha.

Reeds how exciting, wish I was told I would be having my baby next week.

Cottles glad bubs has moved, hope he stays that way. Did it feel any different to have a breech baby?

Wow smeej, hopefully baby will some soon.

 

[MissFox]

EVERYONE SAYS IT!!!
You know it could be more!!! SHHHSH YOUR MOUTH! IM ASKING FOR A SWEEP DAMMIT! I'd rather ask for that than have to have a c-section because my hips have dislocated from walking up the stairs or whatever. Just found out too from my midwife that with hypermobility there is a chance that the epidural might not work (if I end up getting one) and that if it does we have to be very careful on how high to push my legs up since they will keep going and she doesn't want to cause damage.
Yup. I'm 37 weeks and 4 days pregnant and I'm done. I keep hoping and hoping that I don't make it to 40 weeks

Oh and if my shoulder would stop popping out that would be great too

 

[loopy82]

That's great Cottleston, was the procedure itself ok? Got my next midwife appointment on Wednesday and really don't think baby has moved much so I could be having one soon! Have got an Indian head massage tomorrow, still have a small hope that she might turn if I'm relaxed enough.

Congratulations Tasha! Bet you'll have a wonderful day no matter how you do it.

 

[CottlestonPie]

Aww congratulations Tasha that's wonderful!! Xx

ECV went really well... Toby is no longer breech (for now!) and I have a follow up appointment on 1st April to make sure he's not flipped back. I'm so pleased!

OMG hun why didnt you tell us on the other thread....I have been talking about you with Busy and Tiff and we we all hoping that he would flip..that is soo great!!!! soo happy for you!!!!!

Lol sorry hun! Was planning on a nice big update on the other thread this evening!! But thank you!!!

It did kinda hurt a bit when they started. Getting head from ribs was a bit painful. The rest, the actual turning felt like a chinese burn... And my tummys a bit sensitive but it was nowhere near painful enough for pain relief or anything. And it only lasted 5 minutes or so.

I'm bring so paranoid though. Convinced he's already turned back because he's so active today. I'm gonna keep an eye on the movements and see what the midwife says tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

Gem - Hope you and Ollie are doing alright, chick.

Been trying so hard to get things done and it isn't going as well as I would like. The joys of owning a big old house and trying to fix it when having a baby

So after a whole host of Braxton Hicks and coughing so hard that I slightly pulled just under my bump, I've decided that tonight I am on strike.

Craving chips and gravy (oh and cornichons ) and then marble cake with bananas. I can have all of it except the bananas, I forgot to get those from the shop. Enjoy your evenings ladies, I flipping plan to

 

[MissFox]

I GOT MY BIRTH PLAN FINISHED!! I put some really cute graphics on it and I am going to go pick up some thicker pretty paper to print it on. I'm pretty excited that i finally got it done

fancy sharing ??

i love reading birth plans !

 

[DanaBump]

i'll post later about the awful that was my ultrasound today, still really upset over how she treated me.

i guess i don't understand the big thing about the birth plans? they hospital just gave me a 4 page form with options, and that's it.

 

[reedsgirl1138]

MissFox great news on the birth plan. Finally makes it feel like there is a end in sight huh? I hope she comes sooner rather than later for you...and whats up with your shoulder?

Any news on Gem?

Tasha CONGRATS!!

Cottles hopes ur little man stays head down. XX

 

[wishingonastar]

tasha - congratulations on the imminent wedding and great news on the twins weight gain

lisa - if you haven't done already perhaps also try googling iron rich foods and see if there's any you can stomach? after i gave birth to isabel my level was 7 and they wanted to give a blood transfusion but i refused it and built it back up with iron tablets and specific food (like broccoli and apricot). I'm on iron tablets again now as its dropping and having a toddler plus newborn with low iron is not an option this time!!! hope yours comes up again soon
