Hiya, another baby girlie x

 

[minidancer]

Hiya frangi, congrats on your girlie, this is a very pink thread, and welcome!

Megan I know it's unbelievable how quick the time is going! That's me down to single figure weeks! Rose your doc saying that was the same I was thinking this week, I had my little girl at jut over 38 weeks so I could potentially only have 7 weeks left! Had a mini panic attack yesterday and ordered loads of things for my hospital bag

 

[minidancer]

Something else occurred to me today when I was watching OBEM. Last pregnancy I got the line up my belly, this time I have nothing. Wonder if it's a boy/girl thing? Do you all have it? xx

 

[moggi]

Yeah I was in hospital from 36/37 weeks witn both of mine and then they were born at 39 &38 weeks. I'll be surprised if I get to 40 weeks this time. Scarey and exciting lol XxX

 

[moggi]

i've never had the line thing so i don't think its gender related XxX

UPDATE!!!!!!

I have found an OBGYN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well actually, I ended up calling the closest hospital here and it just so happens that they have a Women's clinic attached to the hospital that will take me. I have my first appt on the 26th!! Yeah!!!! I explained the situation to the woman on the phone and she was beside herself upset about it and set me up right away. I have also lucked out in the fact that the hospital that it is attached to has been voted "the best place to have a baby"! They have a state of the art maternity unit and a level 4 neonatal! So I am officially in good hands!!! I am so relieved!!!

 

[meganOUFC]

Oh fantastic!!!!! I am so pleased for you what a relief!!!!!

 

[minidancer]

Brilliant news brandy!! I am so happy you have found somewhere and even better it has such a brilliant reputation!! You must be so relieved and delighted! xx

 

[BrandysBabies]

I am! Talk about panic attack! Lol! Hopefully from this point on I can just relax and enjoy the pregnancy as much as I can. I can deal with the RLS as long as I don't have to go into labor! Hahaha!

 

[moggi]

That brilliant news Brandy, i'm so happy for you XxX

 

[dt1234565]

Thank goodness!!!

I have just seen the old maltesers advert. You know where they put a maltesers on their belly and watch them bounce off, am gonna get me some, the kids will love it! So will I!!!

xxx

How's everyone doing this morning? God I'm so glad it's Friday, this week has dragged!

Brandy so glad to hear you got sorted with an OBGYN, must be such a weight off your mind! Debbie I forgot about that advert, I might need to try that trick now

Steven has an interview today for a job that will give him a £7.5k payrise so I'm hoping and praying that he's successful! If he gets it it'll take so much pressure off financially when I'm off on maternity and when I come back part time afterwards. Only down side will be that he won't be able to take as much time off after the baby is born as we'd planned as he was going to take a month off (2 weeks paternity and 2 weeks hols) but he can't really do that in a new role. Ah well it'll be worth it

I had my first leg cramp at 5:30am this morning - it was agony and is still hurting now! Anyone else suffer from these and have any tips on how to deal with them?

 

[moggi]

lol debbie, i did that the other night. They kept rolling off before she got chance to kick them XxX

 

[meganOUFC]

I used to get cramps in my calves every night with my son, funny enough around 5am!!!!! Lol

 

[gypsy1981]

Lol - any good advice on how to get rid of them? I hobbled to the loo and it eased it a bit but still took ages to get back to sleep with the pain. The muscle is still sore now!

 

[minidancer]

I saw the malteser advert too and it made me want to go and buy some to try it

Oh no Nicola, that sounds painful! I have never had it so don't have any suggestions on how to ease it sorry. Hope it doesn't happen again I hope all goes well and he gets the new job, sounds fab apart from not being off for so long after baby arrives, but at least he will still have the 2 weeks paternity leave xx

 

[meganOUFC]

It's a case of straightening your leg out and keep making your feet really flex to really pointed and go back as forth and see which helps. For me it use to be to flex my feet rather that point.
