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

[Sarahcake]

Ahh yeah, it does make you feel a bit drunk so if thats a feeling that you already arnt a big fan of, then its likely that was what was making you feel sicky. Go you for getting all that way with nothing though! I hope I can manage the same!

 

[Inoue]

Mixed on G&A then . Im not to keen on feeling drunk but hopefully ill be ok with it. Im crap with stuff like morphine (just didnt work at all) so i hope something simpler will work better.

Anyone having afternoon naps still? Im fighting myself on the laptop, trying not to go up to bed as i find it harder to then sleep at night; but i feel so drowsy

xx

 

[time]

I had to have gas and air when I dislocated my knee a few years ago and I thought it was great! Really helped with pain and I didn't feel sick but I know many women do!

Hoping that will really keep me going in labour

 

[ttc_lolly]

The epidural really doesn't hurt at all, the IV in the hand was the worst bit for me but I'm shit with things like needles (especially in hands and wrists ) but the contractions are THAT painful you honestly won't care I was having G&A whilst having my IV & epi in last time anyway so that helped a lot.

I loved G&A, it was the best thing ever! I used to like laughing gas a lot back in my partying days though so that's probably why I had pethidine too, and I thought it was pretty useless. Made me feel a bit tipsy for about 30mins and then wore off. Amber didn't come out drowsy though so it wasn't too bad. I'm hoping to have a water birth this time with just G&A if I need it.

Sarah - Yep it's the needle they have to pre-order a regular one isn't long enough to go into the spinal section on some. Epi's are just topped up when needed, so they always have the epi drug available

Getting some really bad BH today, my pelvis is also starting to hurt loads just 7 more weeks to go...

 

[Inoue]

Ouchy! OT but help

About 1-2am I was woken up with immense uncomfort from my whole bump, feels like someone was pressing hard on a sore bruise. No matter if I layed left, right or on my back; the pain wouldn't leave. Took about 3 mins of controlled breathing for it to settle and baby was thumping away like normal. Just cant even picture what that pain was?? .

Maybe one of you has had the same? If not then have a good weekend xx

 

[Scally]

Sorry Inoue, dont think i have ever had that- could be the baby was laying or something? Whereabouts on the bump was it? Could it be a nerve? trapped wind?

Happy 35 weeks Kellie!

[Inoue]

It was the full bump, top to bottom/left to right. Was very tight to the touch (as in I couldnt press easily into the baby/fluid). Maybe it was one hell of a BH . Never thought something like that would wake me up from a deep sleep. Feel fine now, walking around like normal and no discomfort, just that one episode. Thanks for quick reply scally xx

Also, happy 35 weeks Kellie!! Xx

 

[pops23]

Ladies, just been catching up! Hope you're all well

I haven't even looked at labour pain relief yet or thought about my birth plan but has been interesting seeing what you guys are going for

I was thinking gas and air only if I can and a water birth, I'm pretty good with pain, however open to epidural if needed and csection as a last resort

Hope everyone is having a good weekend? I'm feeling a but rubbish today, tired and run down. Lees nan died yesterday and ended up getting home v late from his parents and was a long day, he's Jewish so funeral is tomorrow. He wasn't close to her and she didn like me as I wasn't Jewish, but was sad all the same.

Need to perk up as its my baby shower at 2, excited to see all my friends!! Xx

 

[kellie_w]

Thank you! So excited to be 35 weeks, it doesn't seem possible! Inoue, I had something similar on holiday a couple of weeks back. It felt like a stitch pain all round my bump, I put it down to ligaments stretching. I also get full bump pain first thing with the huge amount of wind I am getting overnight at the moment If it keeps happening, maybe bring it up with your midwife. Glad it's stopped now though!

Pops, sorry to hear about your oh's nan and that you are feeling rubbish today. Hope your baby shower cheers you up!

Just picked up my my4, I love it! Its missing the raincover, pram apron and footmuff so it ended up costing us £93 to order them all again from mothercare. The sellers also had a really smelly huge dog, and the pram has a few dog hairs over it, what would any of you suggest to use to clean it up? Definitely will be dyson'd but not sure what to use to clean the fabric.

Ally, enjoy your last few hours at work!!! Not long left now!

 

[kellie_w]

Ohh and just to add, if anyone is considering a tens machine, tesco hire them for £29. You pick them up 3 weeks before due date, and return when you are ready x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Happy 35 weeks Kellie, and for you yesterday Ally wow, 2 weeks until term! Crazy!

Sorry to hear about your OH's nan Pops, hope you're both ok

Hmmm no idea Kellie, I take it the fabrics can't be removed from the frame to machine wash then? I'd probably hoover and febreze it, maybe wipe it down with some Vanish wipes x

 

[Scally]

Woooohhhhooooo! I have finished work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It went so slowly, but its over now!!!! Bought some chocolate fingers to celebrate!

kellie- shame about the pram, but at least you know you can get the bits you need! I used soda crystals to soak parts of my pram in, it was only thing that brought the whites up white after being stored in the loft for so long.

Sounds like one heck of a BH Inoue!

Pops- sorry to hear about your OH's nan. Hope you had a great baby shower! How exciting!

[Scally]

Good morning! Sooooo i decided to make the most of my sleepless Saturday nights! Gave up at 5am and got up, now have a stew in the oven and watching a chick flick before the other two ruin my peace! lol

Hows everyones weekends?

x

 

[Inoue]

Wow, chick flick at 5am sounds fab!

Im taking nan and mum to a church car boot sale thing in a few mins, then I really need to get on with housework. Marc is putting up Reimi's disney princess curtains as I type, there so cute! . Think afternoon will be spent solely on resident evil again - quite a nice day really .

Reimi was being abit of a bum yesterday and was getting sharp stabbing pains in my woof woof when hanging clothes out, lucky; all settled down now

Have a nice Sunday! Xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Woof woof sorry Inoue, had to laugh because I've never heard that one before!!

Wow Ally, very organised! I was up at 4.20am the other day and it was nice actually. I didn't get any cooking or cleaning done mind, I just got 4 hours to sit and catch up with loads of programmes I had recorded on Sky!

Weekends been ok, haven't done a fat lot tbh! Went to the hairdresser's yesterday and got a couple of hours in there to myself and got my hair done so that was nice OH went out in London last night and stayed at his parents, so I'm driving to theirs later to meet him and then we'll have dinner there too so no cooking for me

Checked my email this morning and there was nothing except one from Mothercare about the new Maxi Cosi carseat. Was going to just bin it but thought I'd check as Amber had done the modelling for it a few months back. Good job I did, as she was on it! So that was a nice surprise to see on a Sunday morning

Pelvis is so sore it's definitely getting worse. Think I'll mention it to the MW at my appt on Thursday, but I doubt there's much they can do for it x

 

[Inoue]

Lol, just have to make sure I dont call it that infront of professionals

Ive knackered myself out now. Hoovered all upstairs, done dishwasher, hoovered and polished my car, made dinner, swept floors and disinfected worktops... Im pooped . Getting extremely fed up now on having no energy and lacking the ability to do simple things like bending down etc.

Marcs downstairs on ps3 now while im crashed out on the bed reading a book. Not quite how I planned it but hay ho

Did you get your hair dyed Lolly? My brown roots are about 3inches now and I hate it, im just uber paranoid at dying it while pregnant (i use supermarket dye). Not long left untill I can grab the bottle I guess, id like to look half decent for Christmas day. Lovely suprise about Amber's photo, how cute! You'l have to save that image x

 

[Scally]

Lauryn- thats great about Ambers photo! Definitely one to keep!

Inoue- i have lots of greys but like you dont want to dye it until baby is born! Sounds like you have done loads today! Time to rest and put your feet up!

x

 

[time]

Hope everyone is good and enjoying the weekend! I had my baby shower yesterday which was lovely and also got the nursery sorted and carpet fitted so feeling massively relieved incase baby comes early!
That picture of amber is gorgeous lauryn!! Got the email this morning too what a cutie!

Going to attempt putting a picture up but I'm not good on this ipad!

 

[time]

Done! Sorry I couldn't get great pictures as the fitted wardrobes mean you just can't get a pic! There's a sofa down the left hand side of the room for night feeds but couldn't get a good enough angle to fit it in!

 

[Inoue]

Awwww! Its gorgeous time! Love the open rail where the clothes are hung, I can also spot a few booties on the top shelf

Just had a 2 hour nap scally so feel abit better now, may even buy a mini Chinese take out for tea. Moneys a little tight this month but I deserve a treat x
