[Baby France]

Bloody hell Nik, how did you not notice you were at 3/4 cm? I'm giggling at the thought of babies head coming out and you thinking...I wonder what that it?! Lol!

 

[ozzie24]

i cant belive 7 babys already!! congrats to all the new mums and i hope your babys are doing well x
iv had enough now this heat is horried. im not the best in the heat any way and being a plus size lady and pregnant makes it 10 times worse. i can no longer do school runs as i keep blacking out so my other half who works nights has to get up to do it.
i have now washed all the baby bits people have given me. its starting to hit me now that soon i will have my baby boy in my arms.
o and iv just seen im on the last box yay

 

[AislingMcM]

Hi all, totally off subject at the min but im just soooooo excited !!! I just realised that my ticker is on the last box !!!

Cant wait untill I hit the last box! almost there x x
Feels exciting getting nearer to the end doesnt it hun x

Ah ul hit the last box in 2 days i think !!! Yea, exciting but scary at the same time !!! Think im more nervous about labour this time than last time...

I am quite nervous about "not knowing" when it starts lol. I was 3-4 cm last time before they put the drip up to start my contractions coming quicker! I didnt even notice that I'd had early contractions, that had started dialating me lol! I am convinced that when labour starts for real this time I will just keep putting it down to wind, or the head engaging or somethin haha!

That must have been great though knowing that you had already gone 3-4 cm without knowing !!! Less to push when the time came !!! I dont know whats going on, but i feel an awful lot of pressure 'down there' today and sort of period like pains down low at the front... Doc stated on Friday that he didnt think i would go near my due date and he did say something bout going within a week from Friday... I wonder does he know something that i dont??!!! Im clueless...

Bloody hell Nik, how did you not notice you were at 3/4 cm? I'm giggling at the thought of babies head coming out and you thinking...I wonder what that it?! Lol!

Haha thats what I am scared of now! lol. I went in last time with pre eclampsia and when they examined me the doc was like, "erm... have you been having contractions?" I just didnt think I had haha! Although when they put the drip up to get me moving it made up for it haha!
I have horrid visions of me giving birth in the loo or somethin haha!

oooo keep us posted missy! The doc has said something similar to me, although she said within three weeks! lol. I bet now shes jinxed me and I end up going 2 weeks over tho haha

 

[AislingMcM]

Yep, il definitely keep ye all posted but i dont think bubz will be here within a week... But saying that, i was laid on the couch when pregnant with Kaitlyn with absolutely nothing, i didnt have any braxton hicks or anything and then my waters started leaking and less than 24 hours later Kaitlyn arrived...

 

[mummaofthree]

3-4 cms !!!!!!!!!!! im so jealous !! lol x

Oh yea, forgot to mention that she arrived 10 days early at 38w4d.

 

[Baby France]

I may be strange saying this but I actually want to see my due date this time? I was induced last time and even though I was excited to see my little baby, I'd mentally prepared myself that I had at least 3 weeks left...I didn't think I was lucky enough to meet my little munchkin early.

Having said that I'll probably be begging for them to induce me if I see y due date come and go and if the heat comes back I'm not sure I'll be able to cope. Kev wants baby to be early again - he has his 18days off starting at the beginning of August and if baby is early he'll have a month off with us! But we'll see!

Yeah to those on the last box...I'm getting closer and closer! I'm 36 weeks tomorrow and its flown by!

Right now I'm going back to bed for a little snooze, Kev's already in bed and Jacob's just gone with his Nanna!

See you later

Lou x

 

[Mercy2]

I am not sure how I'll be if I reach my due date, Riley was exactly a week early so I havent experienced it before! I imagine myself murdering anyone who texted or called asking "is the baby here yet" lol!

People keep telling me it looks like a pink bump! I cant decide what I think lol! any ideas guys x x

 

[MrsP]

was it the same one you talked to on the phone Nik? weird eh that her attitude went so bad
glad you're all OK though!!
The flapjacks are just cooling now so we can take them out of the tin
then top gear, then bed methinks!

I'm not sure, as when I got there there was two MW's in there but one left and then the grumpy one saw me!
I am glad baby was ok, I have never had a problem with them before! Just made me feel really silly!

I remember when I had Mogster cos the waters broke almost a week before he was born they told us to come in if he didnt move for a while, when we did there was a very grumpy MW who told me dont be silly dont you realise babies sleep too???? Felt a right plonker and cried all the way home

The rest of the MW were wonderful but her attitude stuck in my mind, fortunately she emigrated a few months back Think they forget sometimes that we are pregnant and they do this baby lark every day whereas for us its one baby after 9 months or so of waiting and a little worrying

Mogster is 3 tomorrow, had lovely family party today, he is sleeping beautifully and we are due a rainstorm overnight so hoping the heat will break....have thighankles at the moment and hands huge with fluid etc so they hurt and carpal tunnel braces only just velcro on Off to MW tomorrow so gonna beg again for date or something positive...

Sounds like we ahve all had productive weekends in many ways and are now just waiting and tapping feet til the little ones arrive.....come on babies!

Happy birthday to Mogster George

@Mrs P's face book.God I love ya hun.I need to be taught by you to grow some balls!

Yes my car died and i can't afford to do anything about it so it's gone.And having no car is killing me but no way of getting new.I think with Ady it's just sport and the fact I'm doing it all and not moaning or saying anything so he let's me carry on.He does his bit but its from half 12 to half 3/4pm where he sticks his head in his paper reads it front to back then does the crosswords n sudoko's whilst I'm tearing my hair out with the girls and pain.

Whats up with the city wheels?I love em.Still deciding on that or the Jane.

Has anyone heard from George?(moggymay)

Edit she has posted hey baby !

Sorry Zoe, you know me say it how it is. but call me selfish I dont keep shut for no-one, dont see why I should be quiet just to keep everyone else happy. Probably why Si's family love me so much, but hey!

His mum says she had her children for the family, well bully for her I had mine for me. Last thing that crossed my mind when planning for a baby was if everyone else would like one.

Oh dear have you spoke to him about it? Or is it not worth going there?

No nothing wrong with it, just dont think I like it and seems agro having to take all the tops off everytime to load into the car, might be just my frame of mind. Will have a another go another day.

Hey guys, there have been 9 august babies born (if you count the twins as one each) but we still have 7 up? I'm confused.

Otherwise, Mercy just ignore the lady, I find not festering on a point it better stress wise.

Moggy I hope they can help with your swelling.

Eoz you'll be back to pre pregnancy shape in no time with all that walking after baby is born, I'll have to get off my bum and do some more walking to.

Mumma your pics are quiet nice even the un-edited one. You're making me want to try one and send it to you to see what you can do but i Have no eye for creative poses and no one to snap the pic.

Me, I'm very quickly thinking c section might not be so bad! lol, I have been doing my rotation on the maternity postpartum ward here and have seen some bad tears, hemorrhoids and bleeding complications from vaginal births! It scares me! I also think baby might be trying to drop now to! Been having some weird feelings and pains in my hips super low down and baby's head feels lower... I have a prenatal tomorrow so hopefully doc will say yup he's moved down some! It's getting hard to do a lot of things I Have to do.

uummmm I make it 8 including the twins, do me a favour hon, let me know who I have missed. xx

Morning all, boo to sicknes Lliena
It's a bank holiday here (12th July Orangemen marching etc - we've heard the bands already!) so DH is off which is cool and we're going to take Charlotte to a national trust place that is doing a Pirate Picnice day...
Not feeling particularly energised, slept OK, only one wee, but had bad dreams so it wasn't very restful... and somehow DH having been away all weekend and not having to get up for C managed to not get up for her this morning either!!

It's lovely and cool here though, been raining all morning so i'm all snuggled up on the sofa, haven't done that in a long time. Please let it be like this on the day i give birth!!!

Good luck with the sweeps and appointments this week everyone. I've got mine next week and i'm starting to crap myself...

YEY for the new bed, I bet I could sleep sideways in a queen sized bed lol! Yey for Olly being home for a while! and dont go wearing yourself out tidying! I have finally let my tidying OCD subside and given in to accepting a little mess! lol

AFM,
Well. I was a bit naughty in the night lol, and while laying awake for what felt like the millionth hour!!!! I snuggled into DH and woke him up for a bit of DTD,
haha! Not sure what came over me but hey! haha!
Anyways, now GOD the avhes I have "down there!" that'll teach me for being frisky! lol. Feels like I've been beaten up not had a bit of "hows ya father! haha!
cheered me up tho, as It helped me get off to sleep after lol! (the things I write on here would make me turn as red as a beetroot of I ever said them outloud in public haha!)

I have my mums and tots group this afternoon, and hopefully a nice quiet one it'll be too! fingers crossed!

Sending tonnes of hugs to all of us who are struggling to sleep!
Sorry for yet another bout of TMI posting from me haha, I just think sharing with you guys stops me embarrassing myself in public haha!

Look at you go girl, least one of us is getting some action. With E I was like a dog on heat, this time I cant think of anything worse. Si is not to keen either.
