End of May 2013 babies CONTINUED..

[CLH_X3]

Yesterday a women I work with now and again, said how am I feeling as it looks like my bump has dropped ....

I think the baby has gone lower down though an maybe started engaging as iv been having some shooting pains down there and it was hurting while I was walking aswel

 

[Zfbaby]

The shooting pains are horrible they really made me jump. I haven't had any for a few days though so I think they subside after lo is settled. Does your bump suddenly look like its hanging? Mine looks like its about to slide off and hit the floor is so low.

 

[pebbie1]

Mines gone down too. I notice as I can't see my belly button anymore as its somewhere towards the bottom of the bump

 

[Zfbaby]

Yeah I had to use a mirror to find mine as i couldn't feel it anymore. It's still an innie but the worlds smallest slit ever like its not there anymore

 

[pebbie1]

I've got this massive outie! Hahahahaha. Had that the first time round as well so I wasn't surprised.

 

[charbaby]

I don't know how my belly button has not popped out yet! It's totally flat.
I had some really bad pressure/ cramps last night was thinking maybe something was going to happen but it all went away after a few hours, was thinking maybe it was baby finishing off engaging. Had a rubbish night sleep, just ache all over and it's such an effort to turn over! had to go to wee 4 times last night talk about annoying!

11 days to go x

 

[Zfbaby]

Wow 11 days! I've got 17 until c-section. Really hope something happens sooner but he's quite a lazy baby so I think he's happy there. You must be so excited. Soon it'll be single digits!!!!!!

 

[charbaby]

I can't wait It's nice to actually have a date that I know she is going to be here, where as with a due date I knew I could have gone 2 weeks over. Last night and the night before I had a few lumps of thick green snotty looking discharge which I can only think it's the plug slowly coming away so hopefully I have her before induction would much rather go in naturally x

 

[Zfbaby]

I know what you mean, it's nice to know the end is firmly in sight although I would have been happy to go two weeks over and have the extra time as well. I'm out for the day with dh and hoping that maybe that lots of walking will move things along faster. I've had loads of thick cm yesterday I had a chunk of plug go ages ago so I'm pretty sure is recognise it if I lost some again and I haven't better get bouncing again.
There's a lady at work that swears by pineapple anyone know if it's true and brings on labour.

 

[babyface15]

ooh how exciting!! I am starting to think maybe char will be first

how are you doing pebbie?

my belly button has pretty much disappeared, it looks so odd!!

i'm having no signs at all. I bet that I'll be one of those who looses their plug and engages while in labor.

 

[pebbie1]

I'm ok babyface. Just finished scrubbing the kitchen floor hahaha!
I never lost my plug with my daughter. Must've come out during labour as I've never seen it!

Zfbaby the thing with the pineapple could be true but you'd have to eat about 8 pineapples in one go to have a slight chance of it doing anything. I'd say the best way to get things going is keeping active. Walk and bounce

 

[charbaby]

I ate a whole pineapple when over due with first and didn't do anything for me but I didn't mind because I love pineapple!

 

[Zfbaby]

Pineapple hurts my tongue if I eat too much so think I'll stay away.
God I love tk maxx. Just bought an Aden and anais sleep bag for £5 sealed in the box. Online it's £42!!! Also got some muslins and the only place online I could find them would have cost £60 with shipping. Also did a good deed and helped a lady who is 29wks with her first as she was getting super stressed because she had no idea what anything was so dh and I helped her pick some bits out. She had chossen a super thick furry blanket to wrap up baby in a hospital. It would have boiled her lo she then followed us around the shop asking uestikns about everything she picked up. I'm so glad I've had this forum or I'd be in her boat too.

 

[passion4shoes]

Ah bless! Check you out zf - experienced pregnant lady!

I want to go to tkmaxx - someone said they have cheap babaslings.

God I am knackered. Materni-tea party was fab. Really good fun and lots of cakes! Bless my friends for getting the baby lovely gifts. Wayyyy too much sugar! My OH disappeared to the pub as the house was full of women but is now passed out drunk on the living room floor lol! X

 

[Zfbaby]

They had quite a few slings at the one I went to and bebe au lait (sp?) nursing covers. I was tempted to buy one but made one instead.
I love tk maxx and would have bought loads more but they had very very little boy or neutral things it was all pinks at mine

Glad you ha a good time. Did you take any photos?
Sounds like dh had a good time too lol

 

[charbaby]

We have a TKmax in Cheltenham but it is no where near as big as the one in Bristol! I much prefer there store, even tho we are ment to be making our one larger at some point this year. I was hoping the new H n M store would be open before baby arrives but It's not going to be open till June/July now as they are a bit behind I love the baby clothes they do.

Baby shower today at 12! Really excited about that seems like it's took forever to get here. I will upload the pics this afternoon.

10 days till induction super excited!! Had rubbish sleep again with my hips been 3 nights in a row now they are just so achy at night plus got up for a wee 3 times :/ can't wait till this is all over I defo won't be having anymore babies 3 is defo enough for us! x

 

[pebbie1]

It's horrid to sleep now isn't it Char. It feels like the hips start to ache quicker as well so more rolling over!
So I had breakfast yesterday morning and chipped my bloody tooth!!!! I had a rootcanal done on it ages ago but never got a crown as they're so expensive. Wonder I I can get one for free now seen as I'm pregnant and you get free Nhs dental treatment?

 

[pebbie1]

Can anyone remember when the last time was we measured bumps? I did 2 weeks to grow 1 inch and I was 47inches last time we measured and I'm not still 47inches. Having a growth scan tomorrow so see what that says.

 

[babyface15]

oh wow! I wish we had all these stores that you guys have. I actually have been having a hard time finding a few newborn sized sleep suits :S

happy shower day char can't wait to see some pics!!

passion glad to hear the party went well

Pebbie so sorry about your tooth, i'm not quite sure when we measured last.

i'm full term today

 

[passion4shoes]

Can you believe I didn't take any pics! My friend took a couple. I wish I had taken some when we were playing guess the baby food. We had to sniff nappies and guess the food it was gross!

Have fun today char.

I have chipped a tooth too pebbie. Need to go to the dentist before bubs arrives.
