I'm not sure if we have that law or not! I might just have to go ask Google lol

FINALLY caught some kicks on camera

We don't have that law in the UK! I think if you are very very early they'll try but if its safer for baby to be in SCBU (special care baby unit) then they'll have you deliver. Plus babies can be ready earlier than 39 weeks! I was born at 38 and i was perfectly fine.

Powell I tried last night to catch some kicks on video but baby wasn't up for those big ones like the other day. It's so cute isn't it?

Loved OBEM. That girl who was 40+3 the first time she went in only ended up having a baby 5lb something! Cute! They all did very well tho. Lol some friends on fb were saying I shouldn't watch it while pregnant because its off putting but I just got more excited!

 

[Hann12]

Yes def don't have that rule here - lost of babies are born naturally from about 36 weeks onwards. I think if someone was to go into labour much earlier than 35 they might try to prevent it but in general after 36 weeks you are virtually full term so they don't worry.

I'm going to watch OBEM during DD's afternoon nap as DH doesn't like watching it.

Bought all my nursery bedding and decoration last night which is very exciting!

 

[Jary]

Hann I make my OH watch it lol. He's very squeamish so I'm kinda hoping it helps prepare him a little bit. There were some close ups of baby coming out in last nights ep which made OH squirm and go 'yup I'm staying at the top end of you' hehe

 

[Hann12]

My DH was the same and stayed at the top end during DDs birth which I'm pleased about as I don't think I'd want to see the baby coming out - plus the majority of us poo at the same time. I'm glad I don't know if I did or not and thankfully he doesn't know either lol!

 

[Jary]

Haha yeah it's not a glamorous time in our lives is it? I know the midwives probably see it all the time (as a nurse I see tonnes of poo) but it is still embarrassing! And I don't want my OH to pass out and miss the birth of his child so I do prefer him staying at my head!

I remember an older ep of OBEM and a woman had her older son there and when the midwife said 'there's the head' both her hubby and her son looked. Could NOT allow that! Really surprised the son even wanted to look!

Starting to feel kicks when standing up now. Couldn't before as had to be lying down

Thank you all for the Congratulations We are very excited. Here is one of our Ultrasound pictures.

In this ultrasound picture you will see a arm moving ..

Ha my OH wanted to watch LO crowning, which I wasn't fussed about until he looked and went 'eeew' I swear I gave him the most evil look ever and if I could have I would have lamped him lol! X

 

[nearlythere38]

i never got to the pushing stage of labour as my boy got distressed. but when they broke my waters hubbys face was a picture. i thought he was gonna be sick so Dont think he would have looked at the real action

 

[Sass827]

I think DH will stay at my head too. Had o convince him that he should cut the cord, he's so squeamish.
We definitely do not have the 39 week rule here either. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
Cute pictures April!
Great video Powell! I don't think you can see my kicks yet.

 

[robinson380]

Has anyone bought a crib yet or decided which one they are going to buy?? I have been researching and it is hard to decide. I think I am going to get white. The ones I like most right now are Stork Craft Valentia and Graco Charleston.

I'd check Walmart.com on the Graco, they have a bundle with a free mattress on alot of cribs

 

[Jary]

Sass it would be out of the question for my OH as he'd be on the floor before he could say baby!

 

[Powell130]

So far hubs has decided to stay up by my head. We both think he may pass out if he watches the whole thing lol

 

[Sass827]

I'm just totally afraid of pooping, and I know on top of him being a total woosie, neither one of us would ever get over him getting an up close view of me doing #2!

We fell in love with a crib at Burlington coat factory, but then it became discontinued, so we went with this one: https://usababypa.com/metro-lifestyle-crib-p-1000687.html?cPath=445

 

[Stevensmummyx]

I have a moses basket that has been passed through my family! Its stunning so will be getting that for steven and then OH's mum and dad kept stevens cot and its in good condition so I'm sorted, just have to get mattresses x

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Here's the crib Dh & I are planning on getting: https://m.toysrus.com/skava/static/...uctId=12546421&domain=https://www.toysrus.com

We already have natural wood furniture in that room & just need a crib to match! Otherwise we wouldn't be going with a natural crib.... I had trouble finding one I like! Not many are made in that color!

 

[Jary]

I started looking at cots online yesterday. Can't decide which one. May just go back to Babies R Us as their cots are nice but well priced. Want to get that ordered soon and then that's the main things we need bought. Want to buy a Moses basket soon too I've seen some really lovely ones.

 

[Sass827]

You girls are in so much trouble! I am not totally addicted to one born every minute! I've been watching them for two hours now crying my eyes out. Weird question though, are all of yours people in the UK? The ones I've seen so far all take place in Ohio.

 

[Stevensmummyx]

Ours are all in the UK but I think we can get the US ones online x
