A1983 - deffo best to go see the MWs if you're worried about FM. Glad everything was ok!

My bag is all packed, but I keep sneaking stuff in, like tissues and pregnacare. Stuff like that! My hubby's bag desperately needs snacks putting in it. I won't cope without snacks!

[merristems]

Mmmmmmm snacks! I just went to waitrose to buy a few bits spent 40quid! Woops! I found this useful list for good snacks whilst in labour www.birthtakesvillage.com/labor-food/
A1983 glad babes woke up! Must have been scary

While I was under the epidural I wasn't allowed snacks so I got pretty peckish. When it came to pushing I pushed extra hard so I could be in time for dinner but once she was born I didn't care about dinner lol

 

[flapjack10]

That's a good point, but I get a bit mean when I'm hungry! Haha plus my hubby is an eating machine - my parents call him the 'recycle bin' he's gonna need food to keep him going. Oh yeah and he's really skinny - damn him!

Thanks ladies! I certainly don't feel it! Lol treated myself to some new nail varnish today- it's amazing how just even getting a wee thing like that makes me feel better bout myself though.
A1983 sorry u had a scare but so glad everything's ok. Always best to get checked if you are ever in any doubt. I've finished packing baby's bag but only half done mine- think a lot of mine will be lay minute but ie written lists in my wunderlist app and ticked off the things that are already in it- so tht when the time comes I will know what still needs to go in. Xxx

 

[merristems]

we sure like our food here!

Twinkies went bankrupt in the US and hadn't been sold in awhile. They were bought by someone and will now be back on the shelves July 15. I hope I can find some before I deliver!!

[merristems]

Oh yes your link works doh!

 

[ladykara]

I wasn't hungry straight after birth but after a few hours I so hungry I could have eaten my placenta ...lol I spent my entire pregnant hardiy eating a thing to suddenly being hungry all the time !!!

Dolly you look amazing, I have bump envy xx

 

[A1983]

Ahhh GIY, so it wasn't the rlt that got Elodie out sharpish, it was the thought of missing dinner ;-) love it!!

Thanks for the link Merri-think my bag will also contain some chocolate and crisps too...and take-away menus! I'm starving...off to make dinner!

Dolly you are so right-infact that's just reminded me-when the hospital said to come in last night, I looked down and my chipped toe nail varnish and had a very quick re-coat :-/ my oh did a double take when he saw me! Well practiced though-only took a few extra seconds-it's not as if I suddenly started using my hair removal cream, that did stay on the shelf! Ohhh and yes re the list for hospital bag-im the same as some things will be packed last minute like my red lamp and pillow!

 

[flapjack10]

Yes my nails are done too (we're such girls )

However, I have attempted to shave and trim my bits, but it was terrifying!

[merristems]

Lol fj! I gave up on hair removal long ago! Cant see or reach anckles or fuff now anyway so what the hell it will be the last thing on my mind hopefully! My toes are gold and sparkly!

 

[A1983]

Ohhh gold and sparkly-nice! With the hair removal cream ive been sitting spread eagled in front on my mirrored wardrobe and applying a *thick*! layer...then just staying there for 8 mins like a beached whale, then waddling off to shower being careful not to get any cream elsewhere ha ha! Ill do it next in about a week just in case-I dont really care if there's hair there but when I completely leave it...well they may need to shear me before examining me! Gosh I feel sick this morning (aside to my conversation)

 

[BeautifulD]

A

I'm very lucky and have a very steady handed husband who really doesn't mind doing it for me.... unfortunately I have to take all my sparkly nail varnish off

 

[Dollybird]

Haha well actually immac/veet features heavily in my birth plan! Hahaha.. It's goes:
Labour starts, take paracetemol, try and do number two (not wanting to do that during birth!), hair removal bikini line (immac/veet on the ready!), sit on ball, hospital...

And that's as far as I got! But in all seriousness the main reason I wanna attempt some maintaince down below is that I've heard if they have to take u for csection they shave it all anyways.. With a cheap bic razor! Now that's some itching post partum that I don't want! Xxx

 

[Dollybird]

Ooh my nails are all lovely and sparkly now too! Got a lovely pink glittery no7 one, and hubby kindly painted them, and did a surprisingly good job.
Started my first lot of epo today orally.. Quite nervous now........
Xxx

 

[merristems]

A1983 priceless image! Hope sickness goes soon
Bd you are very trusting my dh is hairy faced and practically faints if he sees me shaving my knees, hes like agggghh how can you do that so fast i cant even do my lip without cutting myself!
Dolly i love your birth plan thats pretty in depth! I hope you have a few other diy chores to keep you busy whilst waiting! I might clean the windows!
Afm baby had a foot under my ribs all day yesterday made me positively miserable! All good now though. Anyone else suprised at how immobile they are?!!
