Hi Dream lovely to hear from you only 3 days between our LOs . What a head of hair Kaiden has OMG !!!! We will be trying again from when Sean is about 4-6 months . Ill be 42 in November so might take sometime or might not even be successful ! Sean is doing really well and becoming more alert every day I'm loving ever second with him . Had my own dose of baby blues ( mine felt like home sickness and wanting to run home to mammy all rolled into one even though I'm 41 !!! ) was just a bit overwhelmed that I now am someone's mammy !! Feeling much better now.

Lady Iwill think about that one but straight off the Top of my head I wasn't prepared for how uncomfortable the last few weeks were , ( I think I went a bit strange lol ) didn't realise till after I started to feel like me again ! Wasn't able to eat , sleep and the waiting really got to me . I'd plan to do more things to keep me occupied rather than just waiting in the last two weeks . Was soooonot prepared for the LOVE I felt for Sean from the second I saw him. And the feeling over overwhelming responsibility for this little person

Only from having Ava ive learned a few things I hope to do differently this time


1. Breast feeding is hard at the start and I'm determined not to give up this time I will try my best
2. It's ok to cry my eyes out it's hormones and I hope to sleep better and not look at baby every second to see if they're still breathing
3. Witch hazel is a God send for after the birth.... Have bought some already
4. Never use sanitary towels, only ever use maternity pads as sanitary towels are scented and will not show true blood loss and can disguise infection warnings! I learned the hard way after a haemorrhage at 11 days post partum
5. I'm going to be soooooooo tired but it will pass I have to remember that !!!!
6. If visitors call..... They can make their own bloody tea because I don't plan to get up and host people like the last time! My house was like a circus and I kept thinking is it any wonder female animals in the wild go off to have their young and don't come back near anyone for days or weeks lol


Sorry if my wee list is putting anyone off.... Guess there's no turning back now for any if us !!!!



Wanted to edit to say...... No matter how many other babies you see in the ward you will think yours is the most beautiful face you have ever seen in your entire life..... It's magic !!!!!

Dream how adorable! I STILL can't gt over all that HAIR !

 

[xxDreamxx]

CMC - nope it's a thick blanket/rug from Target. Clouds on one side and a fox on the other.

Leftwonderin - yep & the heartburn I had my entire pregnancy sure confirmed the old wives tale that heartburn equals hair. Mind you, hubby is Indian so a lot of Indian baby's (or mixed race baby's) have hair. I love it.... It also attracts a lot of compliments when we are out

I bet it does enjoy being the proud mammy xxx

Hi ladies,

Sorry I've been away for sooo long!

Susan - Love your new profile pic. That little foot is to die for!

cmc - Your mini list is scary but I bet they are all true! I know for sure I'll be checking the baby every second, once she's out!

LW - Can't believe you've already started thinking of #2. This baby thing must be addictive

tickle - Hope the days go quickly for you until the maternity leave! I can't even begin to imagine having to work right now!

LL - Congrats on your boy!

Hope I didn't forget anyone!

AFM - We had our 32 week appt last week and had a bit of a scare! Her head was 2 weeks ahead and her legs were 3 weeks behind. So I googled and lots of scary scenarios came up! We decided to see a perinatologist. He performed another scan and said "yes, the head is big and the femurs are short; but there isn't such a big gap as my original OB measured". He thought the baby is just fine. We were really relieved.
I'll see my OB at 35 weeks and he said he'll check "downstairs" but did not explain what for!
The baby will not have a room of her own for a while, so we're not dealing with a nursery; but we bought a dresser for her clothes from IKEA.
I've started washing them today and can't wait until they are dry so I can iron them. And I hate ironing!!!

Ece I was told my babay has a big head lol .... Doc said big head , big brain ! Apparently babies heads norm measure between 33- 37 in diameter , Sean head is 36.5 .

 

[ticklemonster]

Hey guys 2 days to work wahoo.

Been to midwife today almost 37 weeks, been told baby is now measuring 35 weeks, funny because 6 weeks ago I was told I was measuring 2 weeks ahead lol. And also baby is back to back, I wasn't scared about labour before but I sure am now! Going to do everything to try make baby move, but my gosh I've been getting so much lower back pain almost like period pains all week. Also my bp is lower than ever! Ahhhh the joys of pregnancy ey xx

 

[xxDreamxx]

ECE - Glad the Perintonologist measured differently to your Ob. Kaiden measured allover the place during pregnancy, he'd be a week ahead, then 2, then 3. He did end up a good size for a 37+1 birth (7lbs 2oz) is what average full term baby's weigh.

Ticklemonster - I had the same thing happen, they said he was measuring behind what he had measured 2 weeks before. In the end, I think they can only "estimate" and there is a big margin of error.

Leftwonderin - We need more pics of Sean

Hope all is well with everyone?

 

[c.m.c]

Ece how scary !!!! I hope all goes well for your follow up ! I'm sure u got a shock when they said that but other's have said they can measure wrong a lot of times and everything ends up ok

Tickle..... Is tomorrow your last day? Bet you're so excited to get off! This baby was back to back a few weeks ago and the back pain I had was horrendous so fingers crossed baby moves for u!!! I got on the birthing ball and got in all fours washing the floor to try and move her.... Seems to have worked fingers crossed !

 

[Left wonderin]

Tickle enjoy your last day not long now cmc eeeeeeek how exciting I'm very excited for one
Sean I 1 month tommrow I can't quite believe it !! Where has the time gone ??? He has almost grown out of all his new born clothes . Can't believe I'm putting baby grows away already but the up side of it is he is nearly big enough to begin to wear his real clothes lol !!! Today he wore is first 0-3 suit He looks so grown up! He is also starting to make lots of different sounds in response to be talked to its so so cute. Not too sure if we have gotten a real smile yetor if its still gas !!!! Here he is inhis big boy clothes xxx

 

[ticklemonster]

I have finished work now lol spent the whole of today cleaning and sorting baby clothes out, I believe they call it nesting haha.
Pain has been awful in my back been on all fours today, think I felt baby move but can't be sure xx

 

[lune_miel]

33w here today and no signs or symptoms. Hope he will not need to be evicted!

 

[ticklemonster]

Hey guys, how is everyone? I'm 38 weeks now, pretty uncomfortable and can't wait for babies arrival, everything is already now apart from my birth plan, which I really must do before Wednesday otherwise the midwife may shout at me. Lol. I asked her what was wrong with just going with the flow, they never look at the birth plan anyway haha x

 

[c.m.c]

Hey ladies just had my last appt had an internal sweep etc and am booked for induction on 17th if baby doesn't move but fingers crossed today might help with moving things along! I'm 39 weeks today

How us everyone?

How's the babes doing?

Tickle how are you? Gosh it's so uncomfortable right now isn't it? Hope you're well!!!

A girl I work with due 16th April had her baby on Friday 3 weeks early!!!!! Total surprise spontaneous labour

 

[ticklemonster]

I'm ok cmc just waiting to meet baby, I hope I get a sweep this time, I never got one last time.
Just getting last bits ready, like haircut, nails etc as I doubt I will have them done again for a while lol x
Hope everyone else is well x

 

[Left wonderin]

Ooooooooh girls I couldn't be more excited ........... Reall honest labour watch is now on ! Anyone any signs yet ? Anyone lost any of their plug ?? Many BH ?? I can't wait to meet the two new rainbows

 

[lune_miel]

OOooh Tickle and ece any day it could be! What can sweeping the membranes do? Are you guaranteed to start labor in the days after?

I still have 6 weeks but it's OK I have 3 showers and 2 classes to cram in.
