Welcome Baby Bell! :wave: Lovely to have you on board! I go on Maternity on 5th of November too (which incidentally is my wedding anniversary) so excited now, I'm counting down the weeks! xx
 
I get through it by thinking.....only really October left to work! Lol
 
Hello everyone, just spent some time catching up with the thread! Been so busy recently and had my old uni friends over this weekend which was lovely but so exhausting! Not much to report from me. Am just counting down the weeks now. So close, yet so far.....


Nitengale - Beautiful bump pic :)

Krippy - Gorgeous bump! So pleased about your placenta :) I bet your relieved. I have my scan in two weeks time to check the position of my placenta and am hoping and praying that it has moved. How far had it moved? Apparently it has to be move than 2 cms away from your cervix. Had my 3D scan at 28 weeks it was still pretty low :( Fingers crossed it has moved by 33 weeks. So exciting that your start your maternity in a week, only 4 weeks left for me and I cannot wait. Have you much left to do?

Justkeep - Glad all is good and baby is growing well :) Great news that you can have a natural delivery :)

Grenouille - HAPPY BIRTHDAY for yesterday, hope you had a lovely day :) I know what you mean about getting tired easily, on my bday I watched the X-Factor and then went to bed, so rock and roll!!!!

Leliana - Got all my bits from Primark as well. Did you see the button down check shirt nighties? Got two of them for the hospital, one for labour and a fresh one for afterwards. Looked at the baby stuff also, some really lovely stuff and so cheap :) Can't wait for payday then am going to go back and get some of the last bits and bobs!

Baby Bell - Welcome to the thread :) Not long until your maternity leave either, I am so looking forward to having some chill time before the baby comes :happydance:
 
Kate I hope you placenta moves well out of the way. It was over 3 cm away from my cervix so I am good to go. I am so excited and thankful that it moved. I work from home taking care of children so just one more week of playing and naps and then I can skip the playing and take naps all by myself! lol

Sounds like most of us are taking mat leave early...I think it is just as important to take time before the baby gets here as well as after. We need our rest and time to organize and nest without having to worry about work too! :) Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Krippy have a nice relaxing time on Matty leave I finish the 5th November, can't wait. I just realised we could have our baby's same day, I'm to be induced at37 weeks......only 10 weeks too! :happydance:

Oooohhhh...That would be really awesome! I will be having an induction the week of December 3rd so yes our babes will be really close! :happydance:
 
Welcome BabyBell. I initially was going to say "see you in Ninewells maternity unit around the 20th December" but then noticed you are being induced early. Knowing my luck I will still be hanging on right up to New Year!!!

I am so jealous of all you ladies planning your leave in only a few weeks. I still have 2 months before my last day at work although I have 3 1/2 weeks of leave spread through that time. Roll on 30th November!!
 
Yeah Krippy week starting 3rd dec for me too.......but could be anytime in that week for me, no set date! Lol so exciting.

Lala are you from Dundee too?Small world, perhaps il see you around Matty classes at ninewells! Or have you been to the antenatal swimming classes at Lochee baths I'm going to go when I start Matty :happydance:
 
My due date is the 3rd of December so it will be a race to see who delivers first ;)

Kate - I bought a night shirt too! I bought mine for after baby is born, so I can get the plain one dirty during birth and then wear the fresh one afterwards. They are so lovely! I bought the biggest size though lol. I tried it on yesterday and it looks hilarious!! It still seems such a strange concept that I will get big enough for it to fit!
 
Hi everyone...

Welcome babybell, nice to see another recruit.

All this talk of finishing up for maternity leave I cant wait, I finish up on the 8th November. I like that way of thinking..only really October to work!

I made a start on my hospital bag this weekend and got new pyjamas and slippers and all of my travel sized toiletries.
I think I'll need a trip to Primark aswell though for those night dresses that you mentioned Kate. I was actually wondering what people do..whether to wear a hospital gown during labour or my own night dress.

Lovely Bump pics too ladies!

I'm from Angus but will be having my baby in Ninewells. I've been going to the aquanatal classes since I was 17 weeks but through in Arbroath. We are going to the evening parentcraft classes in Dundee starting in a couple of weeks time. What a small world!!:flower:
 
Hi ladies! :flower:

I hope all is well, and from the looks of it, it is! I check on you all here and there as you were all so helpful to me back in May! CD9 now and waiting to O... sometimes I think this 2ww is harder! :haha:

Wow quite a few from Scotland! I'm from the US but am Scottish, English and Irish (for the most parts, truly I'm a mutt!) and Scotland is one of the places I would kill to visit. Maiden name is Robertson :)
 
I know what you mean Crystal - I remember the two weeks prior to ovulation as the worst as there's nothing you can do and no symptom spotting. I did get a bit addicted to OPKs during that time though ;) xxx
 
Hows everyone doing? Its been very quiet on here for the last few days.

I ended up in triage on Monday, had some Braxton Hicks contractions along with very severve back ache. They did my obs and monitored baby. All was fine, baby was happy but they said I did the right thing by going in to get checked out. I think I might of just over done it last weekend. Had a houseful of friends and didnt stop all w'end. This weekend its all about the PJs and X-Factor!

Hope everyone is well? Not long to go now girls, time seems to of speeded up and I can't believe its only 8 1/2 weeks away! I have a scan in a week to see where my placenta is at, hopefully its moved and I can have a natural delivery.

Have a lovely w'end xxx
 
Glad everything is ok Kate! Must be a full moon, a friend of mine is on bed rest now because she was going into PTL at 31 weeks. I tried to reassure her that everything would be ok but she has to take it easy too. I don't think she likes that. :)

PJs and X-Factor sounds like a lovely weekend. I'm a little jealous!
 
Glad everything is ok Kate. You sure did the right thing. Serves as a warning for us all to not overdo it I guess. I hope you have a nice and relaxing weekend.

I'm starting to get tired pretty easily. I'm so glad it's friday. I'm just sitting all day at work, but that's what I find the most tiring right now.. by early afternoon my whole body aches. And by the end of the week I'm totally exhausted. I'm now in my new PJs that I bought for my hospital bag. Just going to enjoy it at least once before I pack it ;)

I had my doctor's appointment today and she said the baby is already head first! So that's good to know :)
 
Hi everyone...

Kate, glad to hear all is well. I dont know if Ive experienced braxton hicks yet. You definetely did teh right thing by getting it checked out.
Ive been starting to worry a little lately about premature labour and have a fear of my waters breaking, I think for me its a time to start taking it easy. We want these babies to cook for longer yet.
On the other part of the forum that I post on 3 of the girls have their babies at 34 weeks. It is quite common to go early.
My line manager also had her baby at 33 weeks last December.
All of these stories have made me get my hospital packed too , I made a start on it last weekend, I figured theres no harm in doing so.
Fingers crossed for your scan that your placenta has moved away from your cervix!

Greenouille, thats good news that the baby is head down. Mines is also and Im wondering whether it will stay that way or what the chances of it moving again is.

I have another growth scan at 34 weeks, hopefully I'll make it that far! Baby was measuring at just under 4lbs last week so growing really well.
