Lovely pic Kylarsmom, your bump is lovely

My nesting is extreme - coz we're still decorating our house whilst living out of my Mums!! Getting a little close now, have homebirth stuff planned and arranged, but reeeeally doubtful it will be ready enough to have baby at home!

Love the bumps ladies! Looking great.

Well, we're scheduled for a csection on Aug 6th if we make it. My doc told me to bring my bag to Mondays scan. Ha, we've had our bag in the car for weeks now My little girl keeps surprising them.

 

[Stef]

Fingers crossed your LO can hold onto the 6th August!

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Lovely bumps ladies.
Here's my 35 week bump

 

[Stef]

Lovely bump prodmommy, do any of you ladies have any bump pics of roughly the same gestation with your previous children?

I personally think im smaller this time but drs & MWs keep telling me to expect a big baby, my 1st was 8lb13 and 15 days over due and any bigger than that when ive opted for a vbac scares the hell out of me.

This was me at 40+5 with Olivia, i know im another 6 weeks off that yet but I didnt take too many bump pics last time

I only have 34 week pics to compare this and my last pregnancy as I had my second daughter at 35 weeks, so no 40 week pics. People have said that you tend to be bigger the more children you have. But I'm not sure on that. x

everyones bumps look great!!!! i love baby bumps!

 

[Jodie.82]

all lovely bumps
proudmommy im the same, stomach bug for 3 days feel so weak and cant keep any food in without cramps and running to the loo! TMI. MW has made me only eat dry crackers and drink coca cola until its gone. what with beign anemic I feel really weak!

OH is a DJ and doesnt usually drink much since we have been pregnant but came home drunk last night he´s not bad when tipsy, just annoying and giggly, am I wrong to be mad at him? imagine I went into labour? im having a homebirth I dont want a giggly tipsy birthing partner!!!!!

on a good note im going to wash all babies clothes today

 

[Stef]

Awww Jodie that made me laugh about having a giggly birthing partner. My OH is the same, he is always typsy when he comes home from DJing but since he has started this club night instead of residency DJing he dosent go as often but the last time he went he actually came back blind drunk, id hate him to do that when its getting so near.
The next time he's scheduled in a club in August Bank, if I havent had LO by then there is no way he is going despite what he thinks.

Eeek @ washing all LO's clothes, makes you suddenly realise how close we all are!

xx

 

[Jodie.82]

nooo dont laugh, we dont want giggly silly birthing partner, he will get a slap lol!!
oh wow another DJ partner, are we mad? thats the problem, this is a tourist town and OH has residency in 3 places, busy every night, some weeks doesnt even take his night off, which I cant really complain about as its because of that I havent had to work and wont need to when baby here, plus he can then take a 2 weeks to a month off with us.
hahahha ban him from going!
im 37 weeks today full term whoo hoo!! so OH is on 2 drink rule......he might see my London temper come out when he wakes up

 

[Kylarsmom]

I totally agree! We are attending a birthday party this weekend and I'm sure all the dads will be drinking, but I have already told william no way! Not only do Inot want a giggly birthing partner, I do not know if i'd be able to drive myself to the hospital and i am EXTREMELY against drinking and driving!! I'm usually not controlling but this is one issue I am putting my foot down on!!

Aww not you too! It's so horrible! This is my 4th day now, it's slightly getting better but still not right.
I'm eating what I want, but I won't eat any fruit or anything like that as that will just have me running to the loo.
I've been told it's quite common to have a bad stomach at the later stages of pregnancy, it's getting us ready for labour. But shouldn't be this bad surely?! lol

 

[Stef]

Lol Jodie.

My DH used to DJ 4 nights a week but when we had our first he went once to twice a week rather than 4 nights a week and then recently he has started up a club night with a friend so rather than doing the same places they are trying to go around the north east with it. Because its only fairly new its only just starting off so luckily for me he isnt out all the time. When he DJ'd 4 nights a week we both had our full time day jobs too and it was great having all that money but then the recession hit and they didn't want to pay as much as they were before and he agreed to stay for a while at first and then reduced the amount he worked and because it was just his hobby and bringing in 'spare cash' it wasnt that much of a loss if you know what I mean but it would have been nice now as it means we wouldnt be a little worried about cash when my maternity pay falls on to SMP. never mind though. A family of 4 will be worth what ever sacrifices that may need to be made.

Wahooo at being full term, I cant wait to be able to say that! haha! Although its a goob job im not yet as im not organised at all! still got a fair few things to buy, nursery to start, hospital bag to pack etc etc.

With our first I was ready from 28 weeks and all i was buying after that was clothes etc, ive definitely taken more of a laid back approach this time though I do think its time we pulled our fingers out.

[Jodie.82]

haha kylarsmum thats it put the foot down! its just hard when OH is in a club all night, but are we agreed I can ban him to 2 drinks max from now until birth?
proudmommy yes its normal to have a good clearout before labour, but this is def more than that and same for you by the sounds of it. im so dizzy from just eating dry crackers but MW says it needs to get out of my system!
stef, DJ as a hobby much better than DJ fulltime! although it does have its pros, getting to spend the daytime with OH every day is lovely and will be so nice when LO is here
im still not organised! baby can please stay in until due date in this case

 

[CharlieKeys]

dont'' worry I've banned OH from any more than 2 drinks, but I think he's realised that baby can come at anytime and the last thing we both want is for him to be drunk! So no you're not out of order!

 

[abs07]

Wow, TONS to catch up on!!! Congrats mamaheather!!

I had an appt this morning, I'm 1 cm dilated, she's head down, my fluids are good, she's estimated about 6 pounds 4 oz, and she's definitely a SHE! Pretty exciting day!!

 

[CharlieKeys]

aww glad your appt went well I wish in the UK midwifes would check to see how dialated we are!!!

 

[moomin_troll]

i sometimes wish they would check but then again it can cause infection so im glad they dont.
i dont think it would do me much good hearing oh ur dilated and then nothing happening lol
