[babyface15]

thanks char love can't believe the little baby is that big already!! the system in the UK is so different than in Canada. we don't get pregnancy notes, I have no idea what my Dr is writing in there
did everyone have a good weekend? i'm exhausted from shopping and decorating etc - terrible that its Monday!!! lol

 

[CLH_X3]

I had like contraction in my stomach after giving birth were my uterus was contracting back down so quick!

And oh my the stitches, I only had a few but ouch! I used to avoid going a wee an hold it or as long as possible, I also drank minimal amounts so I didn't go that much! I used to take a jug of warmish water and pour it on myself as I peed, and peed really quick!

I look so fat in the second pic! My whole top Half is getting bigger, even by my ribs!

 

[pebbie1]

Awww I don't like the way I look. Eventhough it's pregnancy and bump I'm feeling very fat!
I'm still working on starting exercise though. No luck so far lol. I want to do aquanatal but there's no classes around here. I have a pregnancy fitness DVD but haven't had the energy to start that yet!

Hi everyone. Hope you had a nice weekend.

Ducky- I wasn't told about 16 week app either. I phoned my GP surgery and they booked me in to see the MW at 17 weeks. Next one for me is 22 weeks.

I am really hoping not to need stitches this time. The female doctor that stitched me up last time was a butcher. I could feel everything and she just got stroppy with me. Cow!

I am still off work. Taking tomorrow too and possibly Wednesday. Def back for thurs and Friday though. I have 6 weeks off before baby is due and am starting to think it is too much but I don't want to be struggling in the classroom at the end. How much time are you all taking before EDD?

 

[passion4shoes]

Lovely bump CLH. I really must upload a pic.

 

[pebbie1]

I'll go till the end of March and then go off. I think that's long enough running around with a bump. And I want some time to relax before baby is here and also spent time with my daughter whilst she is still on her own with me

Lovely bump CLH. I really must upload a pic.

Have you not up loaded one yet? Well I suggest you hurry up and join us LOL I am going to wait till 20 weeks to upload next pic so I can compare the differences x

 

[CLH_X3]

I will be leaving work for mat leave the day before im due, so 24th may..

I work 3 days a week tho now instead of 5

 

[tinsie]

I just got my due date today and I'm due on May 29th (my guess was the 30th, so one day earlier than I thought)!

 

[Little Ducky]

Hey everyone, thanks for the advice.
I've looked through my notes & the only page giving any reference to future appointnents was this:

So not a huge amount of help!
I've contacted my GP & arranged an appointment with their midwife for Wednesday

 

[pebbie1]

That is pretty bad! Glad you've called and booked an appointment for Wednesday! Make sure your bladder is full-ish as you'll have to pee in a pot

 

[pebbie1]

I just got my due date today and I'm due on May 29th (my guess was the 30th, so one day earlier than I thought)!

I've added you to the list

[CLH_X3]

Oh just wanted to say I can feel the baby kick now... It's happened for last 3/4 days, everyday all day at random times, usually when I'm more relaxed like in bed, watching tv etc

 

[charbaby]

How is everyone today ?
I am feeling good looking forward to the kids breaking up from school on friday so we can have a super xmasy weekend! Can't believe its only 1 week till xmas day. This year truly has flown by for me x

 

[OmiOmen]

I am really busy at the moment so have not kept up with everything going on here very well. I hope that everyone is okay.

CLH, great bump photo!

I have not taken a bump photo since about 13 weeks, I'll have to take another soon.

How much time are you all taking before EDD?

I am finishing on the 3rd of May and am due on the 30th so 27 days before my EDD, 20 if I need a planned c-section again and who knows how long if I get pre-eclampsia again but sooner this time. But I am a mature student in my third year so although I have a huge workload (bigger with a toddler to look after while doing the work) I am not doing anything physically demanding and I am only in 1 day a week next term anyway.

I am viewing a house on Friday and hopefully we like it and can get the moving process sorted. I think the third bedroom is smaller than we wanted but will be a workable nursery.

 

[pebbie1]

Oh that would be lovely of you could move into that house!
I finally have my risk assesment today and I'm seeing the consultant for the first time Thursday.
X

 

[OmiOmen]

The photos make it look great so I am hopeful.

I hope that the risk assessment goes well. Good luck with the consultant too, I am really interested about what they will say to you.

 

[passion4shoes]

Omi have you not had your consultant appointment yet? I think there were 3 of you who had pre-e last time. Good luck with the house. What are you studying?

One week till Christmas! What the hell? I have so much to do!

I am still off work. I can't face the thought of teaching a full day. I don't think I can do it without getting exhausted and overwhelmed again. This is so unlike me. I love my job. Got a massive bloody headache and puked up my tea this morning too. Lol! My little list of moaning! Sorry x feeling sorry for myself and guilty for being at home at the same time!

 

[pebbie1]

Awe passion, sorry to hear that
Don't go in if you're not ready though. Relax and go back after the Xmas hols if you're ready for it.

I know, 1 week till Xmas and I have been so stupidly exhausted and stuff that I still have ALL the Xmas shopping to do So Friday ill get stuff and Saturday my daughters stuff. I know what to get for everyone though so hopefully I finish quickly lol

 

[OmiOmen]

I am sorry to hear you are still feeling bad passion.

My consultant appointment in on the 9th of January where they will tell me how many checks I will have to have and talk about a VBAC. I will be glad to know where I stand a bit more.

I am doing a degree in Sociology.

I can not believe how quickly Christmas has come around this year. We have all the gifts now except half of DS's. We split DS's budget between toy and a new bedroom and the bedroom stuff will not be here until the 27th even though it said the 20th when we ordered! We have a huge pile of Thorntons chocolate that we have already started digging into and all that is left is the food shopping on the 23rd.
