:hugs::hugs:Thank you so much ladies for all your kind words about my cat Oscar. I have struggled these last few days but am trying to carry on as normal. He's home with us now. His scan revealed he has several tumours on his spleen and liver. They can't do anything for him but we can keep him comfortable for the time being whilst he has a quality of life. He still has a healthy appetite and is having cuddles etc so he's in the best place with us right now. I am taking each day as it comes. Just hope he holds out until baby is here as they have developed a really close bond.

Nitengale, I totally feel like I'm going to be last! Everyone I know is having their babies early and I really feel mine will be late. I think I'll have to be induced!

Labour dust for everyone!! Krippy, I am thrilled for you, how exciting :)
 
I can't believe there are already Dec babies coming!!! Still feeling so far away from holding mine. I keep waking up and saying this would be a good day to have a baby, come on baby lets get this started!
 
I feel like I will be last too! Especially since last time I was induced a week early because the doctor thought the baby would be "too big" if we waited for him to come (which I now think was nonsense). I had a bad experience with that so I am hoping and praying this little one will show up soon on her own! Fortunately this time I have a lovely birth center with midwives who will try everything before medical intervention so I am doing my best to have faith...

Everybody that sees me now says something to the effect of "Oh boy, you are ready to go now!" and makes comments about how the baby must be huge, which is kind of getting on my nerves :/ I am measuring pretty much on target and have not gained any weight above what I should have...I know they don't mean anything by it but way to make me feel like a whale!

And then my family gets irritated when I do anything, like I should have everyone do everything for me (although I am on my own all day so who would I ask for help anyhow?) I realize they are trying to be concerned and helpful and I am grateful for that, but at the same time I am not crippled. It's not going to kill me to get groceries or do laundry. I have to feel useful somehow! I am all for resting, but it drives me nuts to just do nothing. I have no idea how the ladies on bed rest can deal with it! And hello, nesting anyone???

Guess I needed a little vent there, sorry! I really am ready for this to finally happen :) Hope everyone is hanging in there through these last few weeks.
 
Good morning everyone. I hope you are all hanging in there.
I know how you feel crancherry - my mum keeps telling me how huge I am. Not a confidence booster. My husband is also expecting me to rest as much as I can. sadly no-one has taken on any of my chores so there is no way I can relax knowing there are things still to do!! last day at work today at least.
I had a bad day yesterday. I went in for my ECV. It wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting but unfortunately baby was not interested in going head down. I now have my section date - 12/12/12. I was really upset about it all last night and started getting all these irrational fears about what could go wrong. Also, the thought of giving up my independence for 2 months terrifies me since we live quite rurally. I suppose all I need to do now is get on with it as it is all out of my control. How have you ladies with experience of sections found the recovery?
Sorry to vent. L x
 
I'm sorry your baby is still breach Lala. Of course it sucks that you can't have a natural birth, but it's for the best for your and your LO. I have no experience with C-sections but I hope it won't be too bad and you'll recover quickly.

I love the fact that your are scheduled on 12/12/12! What a special birthday :)

I can't relax either... our nursery is finally done(!!!), but now there's lots of cleaning up to do around the house after the renos and I keep bugging OH to move the heavy stuff around and I know he's pretty tired after a long day at work. He works in a restaurant and this is a very busy time of the year with the christmas parties and all.. he works long hours and since he's the chef it's more complicated for him to take time off and we just hope that I don't go into labour on a busy day for him... they will just have to do without him but I know it puts extra stress on him.

Last week I was having contractions and thought maybe I'd deliver this week, but not much has happened since and I now also have the feeling I'll be pregnant forever!
 
I haven't personally had a C-section but I've know people who have. And it has varied for recovery. But can I just say that I LOVE that date? Perfect 12/12/12 !
 
Sorry the ECV didn't work Lala! But I agree what I great birthdate!
 
Full moon tonight, I'm so hopeful, well kind of, I was....now losing hope! 12 more days until we meet this little guy.
 
Lala, sorry that the ECV didnt work out. Hopefully Kate will be on soon and can tell your what her section recovery has been like. All I know is that people keep saying 6-8 weeks recovery and cant drive etc. but when you actually speak to people that have had a section they say that their recovery wasnt that bad and they were mobile and driving well within that.
I agree what a great date of birth!

Im still checking in regularly to see who's going to be next to have their baby...exciting stuff!
 
I think next should be Krippy right? She mentionned getting induced on the 30th, which is tomorrow! :)

I was hoping last night's full moon would do something but no... anyone else gave birth?? ;)
 
Still here! If anything my symptoms are decreasing, or at the very least not changing at all, every day feels the same. I had a midwife appointment yesterday and she was still 2/5 engaged. The midwife did say that's probably as engaged as she'll get now before labour though so who knows.

I've been counting down til due date but I really feel I'm going to go over :(
 
I am still here too! I had some intense contractions last night but they fizzled out...Hoping that they are doing something to my cervix so that all they have to do tomorrow morning is break my waters. I will keep you ladies updated on how things go as much as possible! I am still in disbelief that I will be holding my baby soon!
 
Good luck for tomorrow krippy. Looking forward to your updates. L x
 
Krippy: Can't believe you will be holding LO soooo soon! So excited for you! :hugs:
 
I'm sooo excited for you Krippy! Can't wait to hear all about it and see some pics! :) xxxxxxx
 
Still here, like a ticking time bomb waiting to explode!!!!

All the best for tomorrow Krippy, we will be waiting for your news :) xx
