December Mums

[Pyrrhic]

Hey girls. Sorry I've not posted an update since this afternoon, been feeling quite rough! Bleeding stopped in the afternoon. Lots of nausea and sickness too. Straight afterwards I had very strong, painful contractions coming from my back across my bump and I thought that was it tbh! They were every 9-11 minutes. They stopped after a couple of hours though and I've just been getting some pains on and off now, but nothing like earlier.

Ho hum! Guess I'll be here for awhile longer after all!

Am sitting on my sofa with a big plate of chocolate chip cookie and a glass of cold milk now feeling sorry for myself

 

[momandpeanut]

Rafwife - Ive been having the pains for hours then nothing so im with you on feeling sorry for myself !!

Ive given up hope of this baby actually leaving my body by its self , i think it wants the drugs to starty it off

 

[polo_princess]

lmao @ Tyff, i think you listed half of the Dec mums there to go next, that narrows it down chick

Rafwife Looks like LO doesnt want you to leave us just yet!!

I wish something would happen with me, anything will do!! I have a feeling im going to be here right until the very end though, i really doubt im going to go on my own, i just have that feeling but we shall wait and see eh!!

 

[Tiff]

I think you're going to go early, PP. Although maybe a week or so before your due date. It's kind of weird eh, we've got a bunch at the beginning and a bunch at the end, and only a few in the middle of the month.

Here's to hoping something starts for everyone!

I am away from the computer for less than a day and PB has her baby?!!!
Just goes to show you how quickly things can change!
I'm so sorry she didn't get the birth she wanted, but hopefully Baby has completely wiped all the disappointment from her mind.
I had a great prenatal yesterday, but I found out that Babykins has turned himself to a posterior position, meaning that I'm in for back labour if he doesn't sort that out before birth!
There's a very good chance he will, and the doctor told me that they have all sorts of tricks to get babies to turn if they don't do it on their own, but it did make me pause and think that I need to be more open to the idea of an epidural. I have to admit that I am one step away from being adamant that I will not have one, as I feel they lead to a lot of complications and interventions that I would rather avoid. But back labour may just toss all those lofty goals of stoicism out the window, and if that's the case, I don't want to be grumpy about it. I just want to accept whatever I need and have a safe delivery.
And they've reassessed Baby's size and feel that he's probably going to be a nice, manageable 8 lbs. I wasn't too worried, but I am glad that I won't be trying to push out some record-breaking giant.
So, I am now officially on mat leave, girls!!
I don't think I have a clue what to do with myself.
I have carefully stuffed every day next week full of appointments and chores, but then...
I may have to sit down and relax for five minutes. What a strange concept.
Wishes of progress for all of you who are stuck in Labour Limbo.
I bought some clary sage yesterday and have that in my arsenal of strategies if Baby goes overdue.
I'll settle for the placebo effect. I don't care. As long as it works!

I definitely think that it's Rafwife, M&P, Sophie, UV and Aiden's Mummy that are next. I personally think they're all going to go within a few days of each other, and it'll be us "end of the month'ers" that'll be left all alone



Just make sure you guys stop in from time to time on here to say hello! LOL

:wave: Hey Tyff!!! Don't forget about me I'm a "beginning of the monther" and I'm definately still here with no signs of popping anytime soon! x x

 

[rubberchickuk]

My friend called me @ 8am to tell me his GF waters broke....she is due 7th dec.

Cant believe its Xfactor night again! :thumpup: this week has gone quick!

 

[Poloma]

Pm me if you do

 

[Tiff]

:wave: Hey Tyff!!! Don't forget about me I'm a "beginning of the monther" and I'm definately still here with no signs of popping anytime soon! x x

Sorry hun! Maybe that'll kick-start some good karma for you and you'll be the next one to go! How have you been feeling? Anything happening?

Can I join you end of the monthers???

Of course! The thread is going to go so quiet, lol. We need to stick together!

How is everyone else feeling this morning? OH and I are going to do some errands then we have a "Mistletoe Party" to go to in the early afternoon. It's a potluck, so that'll be yummy.

Didn't get anything done with the nursery yesterday as OH procrastinated in doing his stuff. LOL! It's all good. I've still got time so no worries. I can't remember, did everyone get their hospital bags packed and finished off? I'm curious as well, are you guys going to put them in your cars, or leave them at the house?

I can't leave mine in our car as OH drives an hour north to work everyday, and if my water breaks while he's gone I don't not want to have it. Was curious as to what everyone else is doing.

 

[rubberchickuk]

Hey all!!!!

Tyff i have mine packed and am leaving it in the house...just because other half is away and ill be going with my mum to hospital if he is not back when i go into labour......i seriously doubt this will happen....jan here we come....

Poloma....you can def join us....it will be us 3 left....all will leave us and have their babies before christmas

In saying that i do think my baby has def dropped

I feel so heavy i can barely walk!!! Very uncormfortable!....(and i think the *whispers* clearing out may have begun. im very crampy....(not laboury tho)


So at least somthing is changing!!! But in another way he has to stay put for just another 19 days til daddy gets back.

[Sarahkka]

Morning ladies!
First official day of mat leave.
I celebrated by cleaning the kitchen and having a mild hormone-induced temper tantrum, then baking fresh biscuits.
I am thinking that I am well set up for a year of being a cross between a Desperate Housewife and Satan.
I am going to go swimming today.
Then I am going to (slowly and in a very relaxed manner), pull out the xmas decorations and start getting the house ready for the tree tomorrow. If I start twitching like a rabid squirrel at all, I promise that I will lie down and put my feet up. It's the only way to deal with my workaholism withdrawal.
By the way, I found out at my prenatal appointment on Thursday that the clinic has my due date for Dec.19, rather than Dec.21. I'm a bit like some of the others on here. I don't think I'm going to be early. But should I start with Evening Primrose supplements and clary sage baths now? Are they sort of a cumulative effect? Or should I save them for a labour kick-off at 40 weeks?
Does anyone know?
