Hi everyone

Congratulations on being full term time how exciting!!

Sarah, glad you are feeling better, you did have us worried! Hope Neil is still looking after you!

Ally, 12 days I know what you mean with the feeling of seeing 2 car seats! I'm getting more and more scared, especially with the night wakings we are currently having.

Waaaaaa, pops is engaged and inoue nearly.... I'm the only one nowhere near engaged now I have had comments that bump has dropped but the movements are still high so guessing he still moving freely. Been scrubbing floors on my hands and knees in a hope to get baby to turn away from my back. Seemed a good idea at the time, but I'm paying for it now.

Is anyone else out/hiding tonight? I'm escaping to my mum and dads, I normally do sweets for the trick or treating kids, but the thought of getting up every 5 minutes to open the door.... Ouch! Oh wont bother, so best to get out I guess!

 

[Sarahcake]

Aww sorry to have worried you! I just had so many odd things going on and was like ahhh what's this?! Its all so alien to me lol. Still having the period cramps mind, be what, 5 days now? They didn't seem too concerned, just told me to keep an eye for it turning into regular contractions. Neil took 2 days off work to look after me bless him, hes gone back today as im feeling loads better.

Get a birthing ball if you don't already have one. Apparently they are pretty good for helping babies engage if you just rock your pelvis back and forth on it a few times a day.

Me and Neil are in hiding tonight lol! Were gonna be like the grumpy old couple and shut off the lights and pretend we arnt home We live in a first floor flat so walking downstairs and back up several times really doesn't sound like my idea of fun right now and Neil is just too lazy to do it himself! Expecting to wake up tommorrow and find the outside of our place covered in egg or something, the kids are vindictive little shites around here!

 

[kellie_w]

Same here! We can't hide with all the lights out, so going outis our only option. It's horrible that kids are like it. I'm worried about our cars too, not just the eggs. Last year, I made loads of effort and honestly some of the kids, mainly older had made no effort and seemed disappointed in just being offered sweets. You feel like saying oh sorry ill write you a cheque shall I?! I hope my kids don't want to trick or treat, I don't like it and never have! Hate knocking on doors!

I brought a ball from tkmax, but I'm too tall or it! X

I'm not on prescription yet, the doctor thinks it's too early they said if BP consistently stays high then I'll have to go back on labetolol which is what I was on with Amber. Keep getting told different things by each doctor, so confusing! I'm feeling fine though so hopefully it was just stress, I'm doing all I can to stay chilled... at least for another week or so!

Sarah, can you not just strip the fabrics off your pram & car seat and chuck it in the washer!? That's what I've done, far too lazy to handclean things

Yay for reaching full term time another week + a day for me, feels ages away still. The weeks are starting to slow down now I think, typical!

Kellie - Is Luke waking in the night? Awww I feel for you hun, I don't know how you do it. My friend's LO is a couple of days younger than Amber and has never STTN I'm not engaged at all either btw, completely normal for us 2nd timers I don't think I ever got more than 2/5ths with Amber actually.

Awww I love Halloween, gutted we aren't doing anything for it. I've got my sweets ready by the door for any trick or treaters x

 

[Sarahcake]

Yeah thats what the kids are like round here Kellie, they look at you funny for just giving them sweets and not money and even after you have given them stuff, as soon as you shut your door you can hear eggs pelting the front and giggling...so we figured why bother in the first place! Either way, were getting egged lol Lol! Not heard of being too tall for them haha! Have a look at the Tesco ones maybe, ive seen a few different brand ones at my local one, they may have bigger ones which are more comfortable to sit on.

Yeah that is frustrating Lauryn :S Hopefully they can sort their shit out and actually come to a decision regarding the meds! Its gonna come to a point in a mo that taking them is actually pointless, all drugs take a while to build up in your system and work properly. They keep messing you around and they may well miss the period of usefulness for them.

I actually didnt even contemplate taking off all of the fabric! Im gonna have a look at the pram and car seat in a bit then, see if we can do that as thats a far easier way!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Well the labetolol didn't actually help much when I was on it with Amber so I doubt it'll do much this time round either! Nobody ever seems to think ''Oh let's look in her notes from her last pregnancy and see what happened there'', instead they just ask me and then half believe what I tell them and I know they've got my notes still because the consultant had them when I went to see him @ 18w, so no excuses! I'm expecting to be induced now, but if I do get to go naturally then it will be a nice and welcome surprise.

Yeh, put them in the washer if you can. It's so much easier. I've just put mine on a quick 30 wash and the pram stuff turned out ok, just doing the car seat now - hoping that comes out alright too!

 

[Scally]

Hey Sarah! Glad the tablets are helping the pain. 5 days now with period pains, you are definitely in slow labour! Hope you are managing to sleep a bit!

Time- congratulations on term!!!!!

Kellie- lets hope Luke starts sleeping through again! Oh dear about being too tall for the ball! Scrubbing on your hands and knees they say is good but not so good for aching joints etc!

Lauryn- it really pees me off when they dont look at the past notes, some of the stupid comments i have had from mw's or docs- if they just bothered to look in the notes!

I doubt we'll get any trick or treaters here we are a bit far down the road, i am usually the only person i see walking around! lol

[Inoue]

Lol, awwww Kellie. You'l be engaged soon! There is no way Reimi is, the butt pushes are really hurting my ribs/lungs now so im bouncing on my birth ball 30 mins a day to try and encourage her to drop but i think she's sticking her middle finger up at me and not playing ball .

I got my ball from my SIL who is about 5ft, im 5ft 9 so i feel your annoyance that you dont 'fit the ball', i refuse to spend more money so just trying my best to do what i can with it x

Congrats on being tull term Time xxx

 

[Sarahcake]

Well thats a massive pain in the ass Lauryn :S Its not difficult for them to request your old notes and keep a copy of them in your current notes. There's no reason why they should be expecting you to recall every detail when they can just look it up themselves!

Ill go and have a look in a sec then and see what the deal is with my pram, I cant see why I wouldnt be able to remove the fabric - surely Mothercare would have anticipated that I would have needed to wash it at some point lol

Ally, if this really is slow labour, then slow is a massive understatement lol The cramps seem to be that little bit more painful with each day that goes by but its just a constant thing not really waves of pain. Its completely bearable though so im not too bothered, not expecting his arrival to be anytime soon tbh!

 

[kellie_w]

So just dealt with a night waking, now can't get back to sleep and its just hit me.....

ITS NOVEMBER!!!!!! Its our month girls xxx

 

[Sarahcake]

I too can't sleep!! Eeeeekkkk!!!! November!!!

And I'm full term today too, that's an awesome milestone to hit, makes you feel like you've achieved something as daft as that sounds lol

Ooo and my fruit ticker is now on the last box, watermelon! Eeek!

Onto day 6 of cramps, ugh lol now to see If I can get back to sleep!

 

[kellie_w]

Congratulations sarah!!!!!! Hurray for full term, and well done logan for staying put!! Hope you manage to get baack to sleep! X

 

[Scally]

ITS NOVEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we are all having our babies this month!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations on full term Sarah! What a great day to hit that target!!!!!!!

Sorry about your sleeps, hope you manage to sleep a bit!

Kellie- you might need some caffeine today then! See u in a couple of hours!!!

x

 

[Scally]

oooooh and happy 36 weeks Lauryn!!!! x

 

[Inoue]

NOVEMBER IS HERE!!!!!! ARRRRRRR!!!

Happy term time Sarah and happy 36 weeks Lolly . So near our due dates now!

Been bouncing on my ball some more to try and get Reimi to move down as ive read it 'may' not be possible to sweep me due the the strep b . I think if its just found in a swab then they still do it, if your urine shows traces then they wont (mine didn't so thats good!) - I need her out before the 26th so I dont have to make that decision!! Lol x

 

[Scally]

You need to get the eviction techniques in full swing before then then! Come on Reimi behave for mummy and get yourself engaged and ready to come out before the 26th!!! x

 

[Inoue]

you sound just like me!! Ive put a post on the 3rd tri forum as maybe others have an opinion but no replies yet. 3 weeks to get the little bugger out, it can be done! Lol.

11days for you Scally ~ Eeeek!! x

 

[pops23]

Happy term Sarah! Happy 36 weeks Lauryn!

I'm hearing you, this baby is coming out on time. Raspberry leaf tea drinking has commenced and from Tuesday full term day ball bouncing and lots of walking is on the cards, decided I will be delivering at 38 weeks, he he! As if this baby will come when I want, I'm carrying so high still, it needs to drop and is only 2/5 engaged! Xxx

 

[time]

Hey ladies!! Woooooo for November, happy 36 weeks lauryn and full term sarah yay!!!
Felt a massive wave of relief yesterday knowing I was full term! And now to only have 20 days left arghhh!!!

My Internet has been down so been offline apart from my phone for quite a few days and only just had chance to catch up on posts!

Sorry to hear about the pains sarah hopefully they will either pass or logan will make an appearance if they're really painful.

I have the midwife tomorrow and she is classing this as my 38 week appt because I then won't see her again until 39+3, don't really know what that means or what will happen tomorrow (does she check dilation??) :s
Think baby is pretty much fully engaged now as 2 weeks ago I was 2/5 and now I can't feel any head at all and my ribs are pain free, and hiccups seem so low down haha!

May start walking to try and get baby moving over the weekend!

And hope you all had a relaxing Halloween?! It's my best friends birthday on Halloween so every year is a massive fancy dress party and lastnight was no different except I was at home in bed by 10 haha! At least I was out and managed to avoid the trick or treaters!!!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Yay, full term Sarah!! Thanks ladies just 1 more week for me, and then I think that's all of us isn't it? Let Operation Evict these babies begin

I hope Reimi doesn't keep you waiting too long Inoue!

Time, you won't be checked internally until you are either overdue, in labour or getting a sweep. I think a 38w appt is just the same as all the others, but your MW will probably talk to you more about labour, etc x
