Kelly ... are you overly excited for monday !!!!? so lovely you will have your baby in 2 days !!! Are you all ready? Did the hospital tell you anything specific before you go in? I was just told not to eat or drink anything from midnight and come in at 6am for my section at 8am... what time is yours??
I was swabbed for group b strep just in case my waters break beforehand... were you? and I have never had an internal this entire pregnancy LOL

YAY to 37weeks full term finally went and saw the MW yesterday, 4/5 engaged which is good, AND WOHOOOOOO I am getting my waterbirth and on thursday i had some of my plug

Today however not feeling 100%, lots of aches and pains down in my foof area and everytime i stand up i feel a great weight right on my bladder and its quite painfull. Hopefully all the currys my OH has bought me will take effect at somepoint lol and my LO will be here soon

Aww, thanks for your message

I am so nervous, anxious, excited all wrapped into one....I really need to calm down & take my mind of it, as I swear thats how I ended up going into labour the day before my scheduled csection with DS2!

Im pretty much ready, but I think you will keep finding things that you want to organise/do

The hospital told me not to eat from midnight, also I have to take 'zantac' the night before & in the morning (with minimal water)

We need to be at hospital at 7am, but dont know when we are actually having baby, as they said 'it depends on order of list on the day & if any emergencies'

The midwife explained everything & I also have a few 'hopes' for the birth, which I have to ask on the day...

I wasnt swabbed for groupB, as they said I will be given anti-biotics anyway

Ok, gonna have to get off here & 'try' to take my mind off it!

If I dont get to 'talk' to you again, I wish you & your Husband all the best for Wednesday

Do you have a holland and barretts near you? I'm halfway through my 3rd box
and I think they are less than £2 each - which is brilliant!

I did order a couple of eBay before I realised I could buy them in town, it's more expensive but probably a good idea if you can't get them anywhere else

 

[wishingforbub]

oh Kelly thank you !! and good luck to you and your hubby too
xxxxx enjoy the experience xxx

Our nearest holland and barret is a good 45 mins away in scarborough, we would go to hull but the roads here are so bad we dont wanna risk going out :/

Lmao my OH has just tried making naan bread for the first time... hillarious is all i have to say haha... the gloop.. is everyewhere hahaha x

 

[WILSMUM]

Here is a tiny update (from what I know and remember):
Amelie had a little baby girl named Ivy
Kerrie had a sweep and is still waiting on something to happen !
Mizze got her pram , but not all of it LOL
Lots of uncomfortable mamas-to-be on here...lots of curry eating and rudy's going on
Mrsbling posted lovely pics of her little girl and Lozzy posted 2 new ones too of Niamh and Niamh has put on some weight which is good
Sammi's doggie Rox slept through the night on her own and had hurt her paw ( i think it's ok now)
I think Ducky has been checking her cervix LOL as well as Pixxie hehe
Oh and Tillbob had to be induced as she had high BP.... waiting on an update on her.

I am not sure what else... or if I even got the above info right LOL Hope so...sorry to anyone, if I reported wrongly hehe

Thanks for that update - I too havent had chance to read back x

evening girlies, hope ur all ok! No signs of anything for me yet. Not sure if im meant to get any so soon or wether because ive got no signs or bleeding then maybe it hasnt worked?! pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fingers still crossed for you Kerrie

Just back home.

Ivy Grace was born at 1.27 pm 2 December weighing 6lb 7oz.

36 hours in labour, failed epidural, 7cm dilation in under 4 hours with no pain relief, forceps delivery - 100% worth it.

Aww, you had a tough labour Congratulations on little Ivy Grace

Evening ladies :wave:

Thought I would pop on and post a few piccies of Eloise..... been a bit tired as only had about 10 hours sleep since 5am sunday due to labour and birth (and having to stay in hospital). She has settled in at home well and we seem to spend most of our days just staring at her and smiling

I must say the midwives at the hospital were amazing and nothing was too much trouble for them

She is adorable Congratulations again

2 days left and a whole list of things i want to get done, really need the snow to clear

OMG..... Me too, im actually stressing myself out a bit

Have done the HUGE pile of ironing, but now want to 'spring' clean the house, take DS2 to the cinema & santa....Get an online shop done & booked in The list goes on & on!

Kerrie = think next c sec booked is kelly on monday

Yes, my Csection is early on Monday...Getting very nervous & anxious...But of course excited to meet our LO

Good luck for Monday Kelly - if they are anything like the staff at our hospital it wont be anywhere as near as bad a s you think it may be x

 

[Xaviersmom]

You know everyone who says get your sleep now... I find that I am getting more sleep and it's better quality than before LO got here.

2 days in a row now, she had cluster fed in the evening and only woke 1 time thru the night. I got 5 straight hours of sleep 2 nights n a row.. I almost feel human

Christmas tree shopping today..there's a nice little cut-your-own tree farm a few minutes from my house.

A dear friend of ours is a photographer.. he is coming to our house tomorrow for family photo shoot! His wife is his asisstant and she's itching to do an infant shoot. YAY for family pics

 

[wishingforbub]

Oh good Xaviersmom that you are getting good sleep ...I wish we could all say the same LOL
Enjoy your xmas tree shopping ! and your photoshoot tomorrow be sure to share some of the pics with us !

 

[GoogilyBear]

Does anyone know where i can get some cheap nursing tops or something? they are either super exspensive or ugly lol. i would just wear vest tops all the time, but its not practical in this weather lol x

 

[lozzy21]

Googly im just layering my tops, usualy a vest top with one of OH's zip up hoodies. That is when i actualy get dressed, if im not going out and no ones coming round i stay in my pj.s

You give us all hope! Nice to know our suspicions about better sleep are correct.

Glad to hear all is well, hope your photo shoot goes well.

I am just going to layer my tops, nursing tops cost a fortune! Just put a vest top under your normal top then you can lift the first one and pull the vest down so you show minimum flesh xxx

 

[KellyC75]

Thankyou all for your lovely messages

kelly yr lo will be exactly 2 weeks younger than mine! Will be funny if yr first in and lo is delivered same time as ailsa!

Aww, thanks What time was Ailsa born again?

I bought 2 of these (2 for £25) I know thats not that cheap, but think they will come in handy for under all my own vest tops ~ with my cardigans over top

Hey googily glad to hear from you, i had MW on wednesday 36week appointment in 3/5 engaged an glad to hear your getting your waterbirth aswell, when are you due? my MW said i could go early we could be giving birth same week maybe

 

[spencerbear]

Well ive just struggled round tesco, good job i only wanted a few bits. Took forever to park and then once i got the bits i needed, over 30 mins queue to pay. And clearly the huge bump on the front of me was invidsible cause i was being pushed all over the place. Big shop on Monday morning.

Just got to crack on with my list of jobs during tomorrow and monday, so i know everything is done.

 

[Mizze]

Who would have thought trying to buy an artificial christmas tree was such a pain - I just want a plain tree - (Actually what I want is a real one but it took months last year to not find pine needles in between the floor boards of the lounge and since LO will be one next christmas im thinking artificial is best for a few years at least.) But either they look pants, are seriously expensive or have crappy reviews!! So much for sending DH out to buy one today.

Feeling good today - rest of pram should be delivered today or Monday and Just4baby gave me the number to track it through the distribution company bless em so I know it has reached the local depot - though where that is im not sure. Also Ive got a lovely meal planned for tonight - mexican chicken fajhitas and refried beans etc - yumm yumm one of mine and OH favourites. Also good crappy TV to entertain me tonight.

I have lovely clean teeth too thanks to a visit to the dental hygeinist (sp?) and since ive shopped, been to the library and had the dentist I dont have to go out into the freezing rain again today! Hooray! Also my stew made 7 portions - so In the freezer I have 7 portions of stew, 4 portions of bolognaise sauce which can be turned into chilli con carne easily enough, 4 portions of lasagne and 3 portions of veg soup. Plus other ready stuff like chicken pie etc. Im going to use Jessabellas chicken recipe this week too and if we like it I can cook and freeze that too.

LO is feeling very heavy though today - I asked DH if he could carry her for a bit only to be told that was my job, because as soon as she is born she is his! Cheeky fecker!!

Can see us squabbling over who gets cuddles though once she is here. I will win since im the milk machine!!

Nat and Xaviersmom lovely to see you both here!!


to all not having such a good day.

Mizze xx

I hate it when people barge into you - its not as if its not bleedin obvious we are all hugely pregnant.

At least its done now and you can snuggle up in the warm for a bit.

I have done my jobs for the day - including giving the kitchen a damm good clean.

Just need to make a list of numbers for DH to have for when I go into labour so he doesnt panic!
