Haha!!! I'm totally not beating you JustMe, not a chance! It's Nimbec you got to watch out for ;)
 
Lol justme I totally give you permission to sulk if that happens!!!! Although I'm sure it won't!! I'm really grumpy today grrrr feel crap and have low down pains no tightening so just hanging about bored.com!
 
Who knows, maybe you'll be one of those rare people who have their baby ON their due date!
 
So exciting for you 3! All so close now. Just me hope you're not waiting too much longer.

I'm 20 weeks today so half way! My scan is tomorrow but we're staying team yellow... probably!! So excited to see baby again!

Hope everyone else is doing well.
 
Yay Annio congratulations on 20 weeks - gosh i admire your willpower for team yellow - i caved instantly LOL! Good luck and enjoy your scan!!

Well in theory unless my contractions come back you could both beat me if there are no scbu beds here lol although i will be admitted next thursday and done as soon as a bed becomes free for bubs. So theoretically we could ALL give birth on the same day lol

Although i hope not justme as you will be tearing your hair out by then!! (((hugs)))
 
Grin!

Just phoned to check re appts cos annoyed my next is 40+4. They said not to worry...and that if I didn't want a sweep on 12th (I don't!) I'd then be offered one at my next appt at 41+4 and also be booked for 42 wk induction...

Grrrr
 
Why don't u want a sweep JustMe? Wouldn't it potentially help get things moving?

Annio, congrats on halfway!!! I would never have been able to stick to team yellow, but right from the beginning I always wanted to know if it was a little girl or boy :wohoo:

Nimbec, is it normal for beds to not be available? If they were to admit you and there weren't any beds available, how long would it take for one to become available?
 
It's our wedding anniversary on the 13th :) which is why I'm getting tetchier the closer we get to that date...I don't want Boo's birthday to clash or for one to overshadow the other :-/
 
Plastik its a nightmare overhere with the nhs system it definately has its benefits but this is one of the biggest problems! Basically any babies that are a planned section before 39 weeks can not be born without a scbu bed being available incase they need it and there are hardly any beds anywhere! If i was an emergancy section ie baby had to come out NOW or he/she would be very compromised then they would ship me off to where the nearest bed was - not good! On monday when I was admitted and this was potentially going to happen the nearest bed was nearly 4hrs away!!

However if i'm already admitted due to slow labour or severe pain then when a spare bed comes up they would do section as long as there were not any emergancys in.....so all in all i'd be best getting myself admitted and making a pain of myself but that is just not me :( Bloody NHS!!

My oh asked if wecould go privately and its not an option...makes no difference!
 
Wow!! Really is a very different system to how things work over here! Mind you, I have no idea how our public health system operates, since I don't think it's that great and pretty much everyone who can afford it is on private health care. I think my Gynae only does about 1 C-Section every week, sometimes two. They happen on a Tuesday at 8am, so you just arrive at the hospital and book yourself in.

From chatting to the head nurse in the labor ward, she has been there 5 years and in that entire time they have only been full twice! Like I said, we pay for it though. We pay a lot!
 
So much going on here!! I still can't believe there's 3 of you that could really go any day now. So exciting and good luck!!

We are dealing with some more terrible weather here today and luckily no jury duty for me today :happydance: although DD#2 is home from school today because she's not feeling well. She also informed me that she's not going to be happy if we find out we are having a girl. It makes me feel bad but she's a mommies girl and Im guessing that's where its coming from. But hopefully we will find out on Monday!!! I can't wait!!
 
And Mrs. Eddie is right.. there won't be many people left over here once the 3 of you have your babies. It'll be very quiet.

When did you all start to show? I'm 18 weeks and still nothing at all but I see people in other threads with bumps and some of them are so big already!
 
Hi ladies!

I will happily still chat over here too!! Thats if you want me too...lol!!

I started showing at about 16weeks but thats because i was very bloated my propper bump didnt appear until about 22 weeks :)

Good luck at the gender scan, i'm sure dd will be excited even if it is a girl...perhaps you could tell her how important she is and that u will need her help ;)

hope you are all ok!

Thanks! That's what we've been doing. I guess we will wait and see what they say Monday and if it is another girl I'm sure she will come around at some point.

And of course we still want you to come back and chat with us!!! :thumbup:
 
I don't know why I'm expecting to be showing already because I didn't with my other two either. With my first I actually had nothing until 6 months and only gained 14 lbs. I think I just want to "feel" pregnant. :haha:
 
morebabies i totally understand you wanting your bump.....although i'd like to shrink mine now lol!!!
 
:haha: that's was I was thinking.. once the bump gets to a certain point you no longer want it anymore!
 
More, awesome that you didn't have to do Jury Duty!! Thinking back, I was convinced that I was showing at 18 weeks. But I went back and looked at my pics and I totally wasn't :shy: I only started actually showing at 22/23 weeks. I got a bit podgy and bloated around the tummy before then, but not an actual bump. Even at 23 weeks, the bump was there but it was tiny!

AFM, today is my LAST DAY at work!! Hello Maternity leave!!! :wohoo: I had all sorts of ideas of things I wanted to do this week, but I'm just so uncomfortable that I'm not sure any of it is going to happen! :dohh:
