Oooh Auntbug can't wait to hear lil one is here!!! Good luck!!!! xx

Moomin, hope you feel much better soon!!

..........


Just got back from Docs and am being sent for kidney scan tomorrow as he also thinks it's kidney stones. He did urine diptest and there's nothing abnormal in it except (in his words) a large amount of blood. So it is NOT a kidney infection... have been put on stronger painkillers and will be telephoned tomorrow morning with a time for the scan. Yet another hospital visit... ugh!!

Auntbug - good luck and can't wait to hear an update etc

Moomin - hope you feel better soon too!

afm - contractions have got more irregular but still getting them and I'm getting awful pressure pain and back ache Just hope something happens soon - MIL took Stephen for a couple of days 'just incase' but I feel stupid cause OH has been going around telling everyone I'm in labour even though I did tell him to just be patient and see what happens! It could be nothing but I'm hoping at my appt tomorrow they tell me I am contracting!

I went for a short walk today which turned into a loooong walk because my daft pregnancy brain got me lost and my BH got strong. Very strong. To the point I timed them and they were coming 8 minutes apart and this lasted for a few hours. But now they've gone. Completely stopped. Nothing

It's the closest I've come in my whole pregnancy of feeling like that. And it made me realise how scary it's all becoming. Overwhelmingly exciting but I was very scared as well. I think I'm going to go through all my recent email updates tomorrow and brush up on my preparation. I'll also be making sure that I have absolutely everything ready.

But then again it'll be sods law that I'll go overdue by 2 weeks and I'll be the only August mammy left on this post. Grumpy and sweaty and vvv overdue

Thanks Jodie. Room air is just regular air, no oxygen, no assistance breathing

No typo, my lil peanut is 2 1/2 lbs. We were happy to get there, the goal was 34 weeks and 1000 grams, and it certainly helped can't wait to hold her tomorrow

 

[SammieGrace]

congrats Auntbug!! The first girl of our group! I am sure she is just lovely! If it is not too intrusive to ask, do the drs have any reason for why she is so little? Are they expecting her growth rate to increase outside of the womb? It is great to hear that she is breathing independently!

Hi SammieGrace. I've had a complicated pregnancy. See the link if you want details, but we've been watching closely since about week 16. We may never know what spec caused her to be so small, but we'll see in the next few weeks.

Congrats Auntbug!!

Hope you are feeling better Moomin?

AFM, Snowed in here. Shoveled the drive for a bit of fun this afternoon and knocked snow off the guttering of house. Bit tired now.

Was my birthday yesterday, but we couldn't get out of house to go to the dinner we'd booked which was a bit of a bummer, will try again on Sunday when everyone is free again.

Happy Tuesday mummies to be

 

[ProudMommy26]

Yay!!!!! Congrats AuntBug, that's brilliant news and glad she is doing well

Sorry you're snowed in Vivienne Happy Birthday for yesterday. Hope you get to have a lovely dinner on Sunday!

Yay for losing bits of your plug sequeena!!

eandc123- I get loads of BH contractions when I go for a long walk. I was always scared to go out, just incase I went into labour. But midwife told me yesterday not to worry and that the reason for my BH coming on so strong is because I've irritated my uterus from the walking and told me to just get out enjoy my pregnancy. If I'm going into labour, it's because the baby is ready. Not because of walking or anything, it will happen anyway.

Hope you feel better today moomin!!

Good luck Charlie!!!

tjw- Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Hope everyone is ok today. I'm so tired, still can't get to sleep at night and feel so uncomfortable. Pillows don't work for me anymore.
But anyway the baby is full term today!!!!!! I'm over the moon, this is the furthest I've gone now in all my pregnancies. Hope he stays in now till the weekend (when the girls go to my in-laws for a few days) then I'm trying everything to get him out I know I'm being induced on Tuesday, but really would love to go into labour naturally.
The hubby is up for it anyway
