Happy 36 weeks Lauryn!

Managed to get back to sleep for a bit Was just...spontaneously awake! Cramps are still going on, but they arnt unmanageable. Still pottering on without the need for painkillers or anything so all good really.

Time, you may as well start the walking about and things now then if baby is so low down. They dont pop out until they are ready anyways but nice long walks and things will certainly help out id imagine.

Lol Pops! You tell him/her whose boss Mummy says 38 weeks, mummy means 38 weeks so out you get haha!

Inoue, im gonna have a nose for your thread, see if I can find out anything from it haha! I want Logan out before they have to induce him out at 3 weeks time!

 

[time]

Thanks lauryn I'm glad they don't do internals quite yet!

What are you going to be trying to get logan out sarah? I'm still on my rlt but it's suddenly started making me feel quite sick so I'm not up to 4 cups a day yet! Might try a curry this weekend haha

 

[Sarahcake]

I think im just going to go with the usual pineapple and curry route with some walking thrown into the mix and maybe, if I can drug Neil for long enough, some sex lol

Ive not been out to be able to get RLT as the only place I can find it is Holland and Barrett and ive no idea how to get to my local one lol Besides that, ive got no idea what else I can try to be honest!

 

[time]

Yeah may go down the sex route if I can stay awake long enough haha I'm shattered at the moment! There's always nipple stimulation too hahaha!!!

I don't know when to get snacks for my hospital bag as I don't want them sat there for 4 weeks but also don't want to be rushing round trying to get some together if I go into Labour!

 

[Inoue]

Im uping my rlt to two/three a day now, I quite like the taste . Maybe order some online sarah from H&B, wouldnt of thought delivery is too much.

Ill also go down the pineapple and curry route if the birthing ball and walking doesnt work, ive tried the spontaneous sex method but all that happened was plug loss the next two mornings .

Time, ive brought cerial bars (hobnob ones/special k etc), Ive also packed a bag of minstrels, big tube of chocolate cookies, two bottles of lucozade, ribena juice drinks and ill probably throw in a pot noodle at last minute for marc. Ive also packed him a mug as hospitals can get funny about providing the OH a cup of tea so he can use his mug and share my pot of tea. Im such a caring wife... x

 

[Scally]

My gosh i like your list of goodies for your hospital bag, i know if i bought any of those now they would not last very long!
I am thinking the day before my c section i'll go and get a load of things!
x

 

[Sarahcake]

Ive not packed any snacks yet but ill be going down the Lucosade, chocolate and crisps route I think. The pot noodle is a good idea actually, Neil will moan like buggery that he's hungry I think ill grab some and chuck them in my bag.

I didnt even think about doing it online...which is mad as I tend to buy everything online...whoops! Will get some ordered!

 

[time]

Oh I'm not a very caring wife haha I hadn't even thought about snacks for him!!

Think I'll get some cereal bars, crisps and lucozade on my next Morrisons trip and stuff them in my bag

 

[time]

And woooooo for us being watermelons sarah!!! Finally!

 

[Sarahcake]

Im going shopping tommorrow so ill likely grab stuff for the bag then and just get Neil to hide it all so its not sat in my bag, in the hallway, tempting me to eat it!!

I was so chuffed when I saw that Watermelon this morning!! Its a welcome sight after being a honeydew for 3 weeks and being so close!

 

[time]

I know haha sick of seeing that honeydew!!

Got an absolute bargain on ebay, I have the mamas and papas sola but we didn't get the carrycot with it as for the pram, adapters, car seat and liner we already shelled out £545 so I couldn't decide whether to get the carrycot which is 160. Found one on eBay just 15 miles away £30 buy it now! With the carrycot raincover thrown in!

We snapped it up and when we got there to collect, the lady's baby was only about 3 weeks old and she had tried her in the carrycot twice but she didn't like it.. It was absolutely immaculate I am so so pleased!!

 

[Scally]

Thats fantastic Time! What a bargain! x

 

[time]

You can also use it as a moses basket so will be very handy to have around as a second one!

 

[Sarahcake]

Oh wow, that is a hell of a bargain! Nice one Those things are ridiculously expensive normally. Really useful if you can use it as a moses basket too!

 

[Inoue]

Wow! Well done time!! . I brought a o-baby zezu pram off a friend but it is literally just the lay down flat bassinet, you can get the attachment car seat version aswell to go with it but I didnt know that at the time and you cant buy them separately from kiddicare so I have a random car seat just for the car. For mums already, when do babys go from laying down to being sat up? X

 

[Scally]

Alot of babies like sitting up in their prams at about 4/5 months- Izzy hated it and we kept her lying down until 6 months x

 

[Inoue]

Ive got at least 5 months then before I need to panic then - phew! xx

 

[time]

And by then inoue you could always just buy a cheap stroller type thing (nice and lightweight and good for summer!)

This carrycot is suitable for 6 months then i'll move onto the normal pram system but the carrycot looks soooo snuggly and warm for winter I'm glad we got it!

 

[Sarahcake]

Ahh thats handy to know, was wondering how long they would be laying down in the pram before we would have to man handle it into a seat shape

 

[time]

Which zezu is it you have inoue? Does it not turn back into a reclining seat? I always thought they were a travel system like the sola when we thought about getting the zezu!
