The baby is also so active!! He is waking me up at night with movement!! Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying all the kicks, but it really feels like he is trying to go somewhere! Haha. Sorry kid, but you have to wait a bit longer!! Lol!

 

[emicakess]

Oh emicakess that sucks! I'm taking off starting July 1st and am counting down the days!!! Lol

Your almost done! I am going July 18th. I would probably be able to go earlier like when you are going but my coworker is going on vacation until the 7th... So I guess maybe I could leave then but I would have to how things are going at the time

Emi - I'm 32 weeks and have been getting lots of pressure under my bump and like a nerve pain around my left hip bone. I'm wondering if it's her hands or something pressing against me. So glad I'm not the only one with this strange feeling. It can get really uncomfortable.

 

[ChristiansMum]

I think I will go early, he is measuring 2wks bigger so I hope I go early. Both my other babies I measured spot on all the way through and my first was born on his EDD and my 2nd at 39+2. I thought my bump had dropped but baby was transverse on Tuesday so I think it's wishful thinking that he has moved because I still get kicked in the same place x

 

[ChristiansMum]

I also hope this baby is 6lb 9oz as DS was 6lb 7 and DD was 6lb 8 x

 

[flyingduster]

See, with Monster, I went waaaaay late. 2.5 weeks late!! But with GD in the mix I am *dreading* the fight I'll have with the obstetrician if this one goes far over!! I am also thoroughly over the constant *attention* the GD needs day in and day out. I am blimmen dreaming of my glucose numbers!!! Ugh. So over it, so I am hoping against hope that this one decides to come early. A few more weeks at least, but then I'd be happy for it to come any time... Lol. No idea of weight though! Monster was 9lb 10oz so hopefully an earlier baby will be a bit smaller. ;-)

 

[x_Rainbow_x]

My boy is measuring 2 weeks ahead and Iv been told to expect an 8lb if he's on time. Far cry from my tiny 6lb3 little lady.
Packed my maternity bag yesterday... Must have packed most his vests n grows lol. Learning from past experiences lol. Only took 3 of each last time and got through them all within a few hours... Oops lol. Seems scary to think hel be here soon. We're planning on getting DD a gift from her brother as don't want her to feel left out or anything, so we've brought her a woody doll as she's obsessed with toy story ATM lol.

[ChristiansMum]

Tracie- I got DS a present when DD was born I got him a 'big brother' top and a toy (I think it was an angry birds toy) this time I want to get both kids a present from their little brother but I have no idea! Well done on packing your maternity bag all I have done is washed my dressing gown to go in it. DH keeps telling me its too soon to wash babies clothes or pack my bag

When is everyone else packing their hospital bag?x

 

[Literati_Love]

Oh boy, I really need to get on this hospital bag thing! I am still unsure of what to bring.

Does anyone else find that their hips get REALLY sore from lying on their side all night?

Do you have a body pillow? I knew mine were getting sore last pregnancy but my DH bought a body pillow which helped tremendously! I am still using it this pregnancy. Put my bump on top of the pillow and the pillow between my legs.

My fundal height is measuring about 2 weeks ahead! Midwife thinks if I make it to full term that she will be a good 8 1/2 to 9lbs. Eeeek!

 

[addy1]

My hips are so sore right now, and have been for weeks. This has happened with all three my pregnancies now. It is always the worst part for me, as it really keeps me up at night. Only a few more weeks though!!

I am starting to think about my hospital bag too. I just don't want to be caught without one ready if baby decides to come early.

Question: What are vests and grows??

 

[mirandaprice]

Vests are onsies (from what I've seen pics of when the term "vest" is used), no idea about grows.

I'm hoping my baby comes late (as odd as that sounds ) My due date is the 11th August, but my brother's birthday is the 17th, and he'd really like the baby to share his birthday Which, I think is the sweetest thing!

I have noticed the last few days my stomach feels heavier, but the little guy still seems pretty high up- as he's been kicking me under the boob and into my ribs and constantly pushes what I assume is his little but right under my boob.

Hello ladies! I have my appt and ultrasound tomorrow, 2 appts in 1 day. Starting July 2nd I will have ultrasounds every week. Well at least I will see him every week. This heat is really getting to me. Been drinking plenty of water. I am sooo happy that hubby got an air conditioner last week!!

I think I will pack my bag around the ending of July. I am soooo scared of when the time comes to have the baby. All the pain but I know it will be worth it once I see his face!

 

[Literati_Love]

Clynn - Eeek! I think my baby will weigh around that at full term as well. My FH is measuring 1 week ahead now.

Addy - Sorry you're going through the sore hip thing too! It is definitely keeping me up at night as well. It's getting to the point where I'm tempted to sleep sitting in a recliner so I don't have to put so much pressure on my hips!

Miranda - Aww, that's sweet that your brother wants to share his birthday with your LO!

Tracie - Ah, thanks for the pics! I was also confused. Looks like grows are what we call 'sleepers' and vests are onesies.

MomWife - That's a lot of ultrasounds! At least it will be nice to see him, as you said. All the pain will definitely be worth it in the end!

JJsmom - I don't use a body pillow but i have a pillow between my legs and a pillow beside me. I'm not really sure a body pillow would help with the hip pain but I suppose anything's worth a try.

 

[WanaBaba]

I've had my hospital bag packed for weeks! Haha. Although it's not finished as still need to add little bits to it that I'm waiting on from amazon and need to try and find a dressing gown that is really thin!
I've probably got way more than I actually need in it though as apparantly here you don't need to take anything at all in for the baby, even clothes! As it's all provided! Not gonna bother taking nappies and wipes etc but I have packed some clothes for baby as would prefer she was in the clothes I've bought for her. Although a few people have said they're sure I'll change my mind once I'm in there haha.

 

[HWPG]

omg, all of you are SO far ahead of me - i havent had a shower yet, and right now my hospital bag has two nursing nightgowns in it. thats it. we're not doing a nursery, or even a crib at the beginning, so none of that either. i do have 2 newborn outfits i guess we could use for him, but thats it. we dont even have diapers in our house, ha!
yesterday, at my 33 week appt, i was measuring 35 weeks, so i had an impromptu ultrasound - everything's fine, they think he was "standing up" and thats why i was measuring so far ahead - in the u/s he had his feet against my left side, head down, pressing his back fully against my rib cage. they estimate him around 5.5lbs, so add him to the "could be 8.5-9lb" group as well. geesh!

 

[clynn11]

Lots of big, healthy babies in this thread!!! Lol. I have absolutely nothing packed in terms of hospital bag and the nursery looks like a tornado has hit and has yet to be painted. I'm hoping I get it all done when I'm on maternity.... starting July 1st!! Not that I'm counting down the days or anything.. lol! At the doctors right now for a routine check up.. Hoping I haven't gained much weight the past 2 weeks.
