***December Dreamers*** 70 babies born***

[mummyclo]

I think.. to be honest if they valued their drink more than their unborn child, they shouldn't have got pregnant! Im not much of a drinker, and didn't touch a drop when pregnant and won't at christmas as im Bfing.
I don't really understand the NEED to drink....but thats just me

Like you say Mizze, text can be hard to get what you mean across as it can be taken so many ways, but least we know what each other means!

Perfectly agree about trigger points, I've got a friend on Facebook I need to delete as he's constantly complaining about his horse throwing him, I'd love to have his horse but all he does is complain and just argh. I'm not saying anymore otherwise I'll be too stressed for any possible attempt of seeing madden make an appearance today or this weekend

2lb 7 is awfully small.....were they concerened at all?

I'm going to slightly contradict myself with what I'm about to say as I agree with you I dont understand the NEED to drink, and I certainly don't see the need to go out and get completely drunk that you can't remember the night! Yet when I was 18 I used to go out most weekends and the odd week night with my friends and get drunk, BUT I stopped the same year and don't miss it, infect Dh has seen me drunk 3 times and I've seen him drunk 4 times, we would rather spend our money on things like meals out, clothes etc that we are going to remember.

I can't wait till everyone has had their LO's!

 

[Nessicle]

Thanks Mizze! Don't want to get too excited until they're stronger as they could just stop again!

Sammi at the moment it's like backache and period pains quite dull though at the moment not very strong and squeezing from inside my pelvis into my bum and all the way up my bump and it gets tighter and tighter then releases and the crampy pain eases

Me neither, it's been one hell of a journey from march/April when we got our bfps

 

[Mizze]

Me either - Nikki-lou is right its been a long journey!!

Thanks Mizze! Don't want to get too excited until they're stronger as they could just stop again!

Ness that sounds like how my labour started, hope it progresses for you! Xx

 

[Nessicle]

Thank you I need the labour dust!

I was gonna say earlier I don't think I couldve shared this journey with a nicer group of women! OH laughs when I say you guys are my friends but my 'real' friends wouldn't have had half the understanding and compassion you all have!

Ooo I've got back pain and period pain but it's literally like a tightening from the top of my bikini line to above my belly button and certainly doesn't get tighter or move to anywhere else


I reckon by Sunday Ava will be here

Thank you honey! Gosh I really hope so! Just want to get into established labour! So far still same and got quite a heaviness in my pelvis region just bouncing on the ball! Still not needed any painkillers so reckon if I is labour it'll be a slow one lol xx

2lb 7 is awfully small.....were they concerened at all?

yes but they said it could be a number of reasons
1.baby is two weeks behind in growth
2.it could be because im only 5ft and OH is 5'5 and we are just having a short baby which means it wont have put alot of weight on.
They also mentioned that because i was 6lb 1oz and i was the bigger twin born and OH was only 6lb that this could be another factor.
I actually thought it sounded worse when he told me the second time because i asked the weight again, i thought id heard it wrong the first time he told me. But he did say the baby can double its weight in the last few weeks, which he hopes will be the case in my babies case.
They cant do anythign at this stage as im near the end, just have to wait it out and see what happens when baby is born

Also forgot to write baby is only 2lbs 7oz, but they hope he/she will put on alot more before being born, so im kinda hoping i go over my EDD now so baby has as much time inside me to put more weight on, ino its only 3 more days inside but its still something.

Those scans are not acurate at all, they said Niamh was 5lb8 at 33 weeks yet was born at 8lb 2 weeks later. There is no way she put on 3lb in 2 weeks so she was more than likely 7lb.

Im just going by what he said and wrote in my notes, like you say it could be totally wrong, which id be angry about but of course pleased at the same time, i couldnt believe it when he told me.

mustn't get too excited!!

Everyone experiences labour different Sammi so don't rule it out just yet - keeping everything crossed for us!xx

Probz sammy, im pretty sure he/she wont be overly huge, anything from 5lb upwards would make me happy but who knows.

 

[sammiwry]

True, they keep coming and going but when I do have them they are about every 20 mins

Going to have a jalfezi tonight for dinner I normally only eat kormas or tikkas so asked my dad for a hot curry that I should like and that's his recommendation or a dhanska?

No-one knows for certain until they are here! I was predicted by about 7 and a half pound and was closer to 9! My brother was predicted to be over 9lb and was 8lb 12 and also 12 days late!

 

[Nessicle]

Jalfrezi is a good choice from an Indian takeaway or restaurant but the home jar stuff isn't that strong
