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

[ttc_lolly]

Well done time that's an amazing find! I love eBay! We didn't want to shell out loads on a carrycot for our iCandy, but found one in immaculate condition on ebay for £36 and was so pleased I've had it sat in Amber's bedroom with a cloth over it to keep the dust off and found our stupid cat sleeping in there the other day I was so angry and upset! I've had to strip it all off and wash it now but if I find the cat in it again she's being evicted!

Sarah you can order RLT online but it does take a few weeks to work it's way into your system so you'll want to hurry otherwise it won't be as effective! I've been taking EPO orally for a couple of weeks now... will be inserting them ''up there'' as from this week *gulp*!!

 

[time]

Aww that's amazing lauryn especially for the icandy they are so expensive new! Pets are a nuisance when you're trying to keep everything clean and nest haha! My dog has been banished to downstairs so we've had to fit a babygate at the top of the stairs!

Good luck with the epo!!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Tell me about it, I wish I could banish the cat to particular places, she's so sneaky. I'm dreading her sitting on things when the baby gets here or sitting on the baby! We are getting her neuteured soon so I will eventually be able to let her out and hopefully she won't then decide to sleep or sit on baby's things. And thanks... I'll let you all know how it goes lol!

 

[Inoue]

Oh, id be interested how you get on with the epo Lolly. Ive not done one ounce of research into it, ive heard quite good things about it. Hope it works for you! x

I think the curry route may have worked a little for me, had one last night and this afternoon have had some plug come away! Hurray as it's a start I guess of things!

Happy 36 weeks Lauryn! One more week for term, keep your bp down til then!

Time, well done on your bargain. Someone was selling one on colchester Facebook sales for £5 yesterday! Was amazed no one had snapped it up by this morning when I last looked! Luke was the opposite of izzy, he wanted to sit more up from as soon as he could, and had to go forward facing at 2 months. Was the only way he wouldn't cry in his pram. Don't blame him though, I'd cry if I had to keep looking at me

Was lovely to see you again today ally, I had another mean mummy in asda. Shouting and f'ing t her little girl who was laying on the floor under the trolley, then ran the trolley over her fingers then a tiny newborn boy, with bare feet sticking out from under a Muslim cloth laid over him... Not even a blanket. Horrible horrible people today!

Hi Sarah, pops and inoue

 

[Sarahcake]

Eeeeeeeeek!!!!! Yay for your plug coming away!!! Exciting, keep us updated if anything else happens

Ughhh some of the examples of "parenting" you can see displayed in supermarkets and in public in general is disgusting poor little ones. I understand some people are having a bad day when you see then but some people you can see these kind of things are the norm....

 

[ttc_lolly]

Cheers Kellie! Ooh good news about losing some of your plug what did you & Ally get up to today?

Grrrr I definitely would have said something to that poor excuse of a mother I can't bear to see things like that, poor little kids

 

[Inoue]

Arr Kellie, thats fab! . Ive got a chicken breast defrosting for a nice hot curry tomorrow ~ yum yum! Right, off to get kettle on for another RLT xx

 

[Scally]

Kellie- yay for your plug!!!!!!!!!!! But u have to keep your leg crossed for 11 days! haha!
Oh no about the other poor examples of parenting! It so annoys me when people dont wrap their babies up! and disgusting shouting and swearing at your child!
I told Dave about what happened with that mum in the cafe and i started crying again!

Me and Kellie met for coffee at Hearts Delight again, and this awful woman was sat behind us. She had put her baby girl in a wooden highchair but she kept slipping down, so she went to get a different sort of highchair whilst obviously ordering her son to keep an eye on the little girl. I'd say the little girl was about 8 ish months, and the boy was about 7? When she came back the little girl was really slipping down and the boy was battling to keep her from slipping all the way down- she grabbed the girl and shouted at him, telling him he was useless etc- oh my god his poor face he was devastated, he just crumbled and started crying- and me and Kellie promptly started welling up!
Even when she had hold of the girl, she was still slipping down and it took another adult at her table to help her push her back up again. Why on earth she didnt ask an adult to hold her or to stop her slipping i just dont know, but no she asked the older brother who really wouldnt have had the strength to stop it happening.

x

 

[Sarahcake]

Oh bless those poor kids not surprised you guys started welling up, I think I would have too. Especially calling the little boy out as being useless, what was he meant to do realistically? If he had taken her out the chair, he'd have had a bollocking for that too I'm sure, couldn't win

 

[ttc_lolly]

Oh that's just awful. I definitely would have opened my big trap and said something! I hate mother's like that, her poor son

 

[Scally]

I so wanted to give him a big hug!

Have you lost anymore plug Kellie?

Hows the pains going Sarah?

Hows your blood pressure Lauryn?

How are you both Time and Pops?

Had a dream Inoue about you putting your birth story on here with a pic of Reimi!

38 WEEKS TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10 DAYS TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tomorrow i'll be down to single figures!!!!!!!!

x

 

[Sarahcake]

10 days!!!! OMG!!! Happy 38 weeks so so close now!

Pains are still here, as unproductive as ever! Still not at any level where I need to be taking painkillers though so I can cope just fine. Wish my son would hurry up and make an appearance though if this is early labour still lol

 

[kellie_w]

Happy 38 weeks ally! That single figures tomorrow is the final milestone I guess! Doesn't June feel like so long ago now? No more plug, I need to get things moving. Baby is not as active today and I feel very achy down there from the pressure. But absolutely no braxton hicks or pains. I don't want to end up induced but have such a strong feeling ill go over. There is a third tri post with overdue ladies and reading their posts..... Arg I don't want to be there in that limbo!

Sarah, poor you with pains still! You are definately one of the unlucky ones to have a long early labour. When do you get checked next? X

 

[Inoue]

Aww Scally ~ I cant wait to put pics on here and to also see others, there's going to be so much cooing over the baby pics . I have your C-sec on my calender and crossed another day off this morning, cant believe its 10 days, I cant help when making a cuppa to look at my cal and see 'due date'

Glad your pains are kind of under control Sarah, im sure you were keeping all crossed it progressed to something but maybe it will in <7 days. Here's hoping!

I did my birthing ball last night for about 25mins but had to stop as it caused pretty bad period pains, maybe I should of kept going but seems abit redundant when she hasnt even dropped yet x

 

[Sarahcake]

Im feeling the same way today Kellie, Logan isn't as active today - gonna get the doppler out in a sec although im sure he is fine and im really achey down there too

Next midwife appointment is on monday but that will just be the usual prod of the tummy, dip of the pee, bp and off I go. Kinda want them to check and see if anything is happening internally but they dont do examinations here unless you are overdue.

 

[kellie_w]

My midwife is Monday too, I can't wait to find out if he has engaged at least. she is doing a home visit so hopefully ill get to talk my fears over. I'm glad they don't do internals, I'm dreading when the gloves come out to see how much dilation is going on. Until then, fingers out! I was given a tape measure at my last appointment, just checked my fundal height and its 40cm. Makes me nervous at how big this baby will be! Sarah, are you having any movement at all?

I can't wait til all the baby pictures are up! I wish we could all meet up, shame we are all scattered around everywhere! X

 

[Sarahcake]

Fundal height is just odd it really is, the results can be so wrong depending on so many factors, babys position, placenta position, fluid etc. Im still measuring at like 43 weeks atm and Logan isnt actually that big! He's on the bigger side yes, but hes not the 10lb monster that they said he was going by fundal height lol

Yeah im getting the odd prod here and there, just not as much as usual. Just got him on the doppler though not a problem, heart rate is 140 bpm which is the same as he always is. Will keep an eye on the movements, he may just be having a lazy day but will get myself checked out if it doesnt improve.

 

[Sarahcake]

Seems little man was just being lazy this morning, had a few wriggles and kicks and things in the last half hour Maybe its just that calm before the big event eh....I can hope I guess lol!

 

[kellie_w]

Same here! The past hour I have had some huge movements again! Makes you worry when they slow down a bit! X
