Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

[Scally]

So lovely having your baby shower! Heartburn is worth it with cupcakes!!!! How did u feel being the centre of attention?

What time is the MW coming today? Lets hope for an engaged baby and a nice long appointment where you can ask all the questions you have been wanting to!

I am remembering to take my pregnacare for once trying to keep up the vitamin C, also have got some innocent smoothies in! I havent sent her into pre-school today, even though they said conjunctivitis is fine aslong as drops have been started but she is so miserable with it, crying because her eyes hurt x

 

[kellie_w]

Aww, you did the right thing keeping her at home. Do you think she was coming down with it Thursday as she was very tired and didn't want to leave you? Still, better its this week and over and done with then next week. I can't get my head round next week your will have a baby, and I'm due to have mine. Next week!!!

Midwife is coming between 10 and 1, I'm really looking forward to talking to her, and want to mention water birthing. I think I really really want one now, I just don't know how likely with only one room that I would be able to get one.

It really wasn't that bad being centre of attention, as I had suspected it I had time to get used to it! My mil has put some pictures on Facebook, one where we look as miserable as anything! It really wasn't like that though! Wes said he invited you ally, but you probably would have wondered who the random weirdo was! Unfortunately, they picked the day where 3 friends partners had birthdays! X

 

[Scally]

Thats true she might have been coming down with it Thursday, she was very sensitive!
We will both have our babies next week, after all this waiting and countdown it seems so strange that we will have these little babies soon! I put the car seat in the car!!!!! And will put the hospital bags in on Friday just in case!

I think you should really push the water birth- would you be allowed to labour in the MW led ward at Colchester? They have more pools there dont they?

Didnt realise Wes invited me! I dont think i got an invite? Ahhh bless him! That would have been cool to come! I'll have a look at the pictures- were you tagged? So lovely of them to do it!

Awww so glad you had a lovely shower Kellie, how nice of your MIL! And I agree - cupcake heartburn is always worth it does your MW come out to your house to see you? How convenient! I'm obviously living in the wrong area!

Ahhhh just 7 days Ally that must be a very amazing yet surreal and scary feeling knowing she'll be here exactly then!? Sorry to hear Izzy's not well, hope she's better soon

More moaning from me another crap nights sleep! Didn't get off until around 12.30-1am then was woken at 4 by random dreams and the cat scratching loudly managed to drift back off at 6.30-7 though and Amber let me lie in until 10mins ago so wasn't too bad. Off to the hospital later but will keep you all updated x

 

[Scally]

Good luck at the hospital Lauryn! Sorry to hear about your crap nights sleep!

It is so surreal, and scary, and exciting, and daunting, and feeling impatient! lol. Its nice to feel in control a bit too, ooooooooooh 7 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x

 

[Sarahcake]

Eeek 7 days!!! Wow! That's amazing but so scary at the same time, where has this time gone?! Lol big hugs to Izzy, Ally. Really hope she feels better soon. Conjunctivitis just plain sucks

Kellie glad you enjoyed your baby shower! How lovely of them to throw you one, cupcakes are ALWAYS worth the heartburn they being too haha! Will have a nose through the pictures when I'm on my pc later on.

Lauryn, fingers are crossed firmly for your appointment today, really hope your Bp is stabilising now and I it isn't, well I hope you get some answers as to what the plan is going to be. Sorry to hear about your lack of sleep again must be so hard with having a child already too look after and places to go. I love your display pic on here btw, really nice picture of you and Amber

Today is my 37 week appointment with the midwife, which I presume is the usual dip pee, take bp, prod tummy affair. Exciting stuff lol want to know weather he is fully engaged now though, I suspect he is after the massive shift downwards he had last week.

 

[ttc_lolly]

Awww cheers Sarah it's hard to get nice pics together once they become toddlers! They either pull a stupid face or won't stand still long enough to pose

Good luck for your appt today, FX'd Logan is engaged and ready to make an appearance soon!

 

[Scally]

fingers crossed for you appointment Sarah! x

 

[time]

Thanks ladies I didn't think there was much chance of a sweep before 40 weeks!

Hope you had a lovely baby shower Kellie! How sweet of them all! I am also hoping for a water birth but there is only 1 in my hospital, I asked the midwife a few weeks ago though and she said the chances of using it are actually quite high, as many women can't use it with their pain relief, many can't because of monitoring etc so although I don't want to get my hopes up too much she did make it seem more likely than I thought! She just said to call labour and delivery and tell them to fill the pool when I am on my way up!

Can't believe it's only 7 days ally that is mad! Can't wait to see photos!! Hope izzy is feeling a lot better soon bless her! It's horrible being ill
Going to get the car valeted this week then put the car seat and bag in.. Don't want to do it until it's spotless as at the moment my dog has covered the whole car in hair! Oh is too lazy to put him in the boot haha!

I'm sure I don't get home midwife visits either lauryn well they've never been mentioned!! Good luck at the hospital today and hopefully you will start sleeping better soon!

Fingers crossed logan is engaged today Sarah!!

 

[kellie_w]

I bet he got the wrong ally I have a ally George too, that would be too confusing for a man! I'm so excited to see your little girl, well done for getting the car seat in, all ready now!

Lauryn and Sarah, hope your appointments go ok, looking forward to seeing updates

Ohhh time that's promising, I have never thought of it that way. There is only one pool apparently too at colchester but now I know that maybe I stand a chance! I am going into the Juno suite ally, which is midwife led but their website says that's where the only pool is. Looks more like a bath, not like these amazing pools on one born every minute!

No appointment for me today all tidied up and waiting, get out my notes and its Friday! Every appointment with both Luke and ollie have been Mondays, which is what's confused me. Now have to wait to find out and ill be nearly 39 weeks. The midwives here come to your house for your booking in, 36 weeks (she was on holiday so doing it at 38 weeks instead!) and when you think you are in labour. The rest you have to go to their clinic.

 

[Scally]

I never got a home appointment! Mad how is differs to much between places!

Such a shame you dont get your appointment today after getting excited for it! My friend when she went to the Juno suite the only room that was free was the one with the pool so you could be in luck! You would have thought they would have more wouldnt you?! She had a water birth, she hadnt planned on it but with it being the only room free she went for it, she said the water really helped.

Doh for him getting the wrong Ally! haha!

Fingers crossed you get your water birth too Time!

[time]

Oh no Kellie!! Hate it when that happens!

How strange I've never heard of them coming to you rather than you to them! When I think I'm in labour I have to call labour and delivery rather than my midwife!

Does sound promising for the water birth and I've packed my tankini just incase haha!! But I'm just not going to get too excited just incase it doesn't go to plan.

 

[Inoue]

Aww Kellie, how annoying!! . Friday will come really quick but its still a pain when youve been looking forward to it.

Hope your hospital appt goes ok Lolly!

Glad you had a lovely baby shower Sarah, sounds wonderful with all them cupcakes! .

7days Scally....

Full / term for me today and Reimi is deciding not to move as much as norm . Ive had her foot kick out if I aggravate her with poking and coke but think shes on a lazy day. I 'think' she has dropped a tad aswel as I cant easily feel her butt in my ribs, but then I dont feel any pressure down below so god knows x

 

[Scally]

My little madam is having a quiet day too! x

 

[Inoue]

My little madam is having a quiet day too! x

Its a right pain in the ass isnt it ~ ready for her to come out so then I can at least SEE her moving . Layed on bed still with can of coke and cup of rlt, what a mixture . Whats your methods of getting your LO moving? Im sure we all have different techniques, lol x

 

[Scally]

I am currently munching an ice pop- usually sets her off!

[Sarahcake]

Wooohooo full term Inoue Awesome!

 

[Scally]

Oooooh missed that bit, congratulations on being full term Inoue! x

 

[time]

Woohoo for full term!

We dtd lastnight for the first time in weeks and straight afterwards baby seemed to move position and has been there ever since. I'm getting massive kicks on my far right hand side.. She's never been that far round before ever! I just hope she hasn't 'unengaged' and turned transverse.. I suppose she could just be curled round in a funny position!? As the midwife did say she was fixed fully engaged so I don't know!!

Anyway dtd didn't do anything for starting labour haha

 

[Inoue]

Thanks ladies . I dont have any ice pops . She has been punching me (i think?!) as I keep getting 'punches' deep inside (near bowel - thanks Reimi) x

Time, congrats on dtd . We did it last week and no labour ~ worth a shot though! x
