January Jellybeans 2013!...

[Betheney]

THERE'S A NEW SERIES OF OBEM!!! A new US one or UK one... because i hate the US one.

 

[Lilahbear]

Ah I didn't know there was a new series of one born every minute. Thanks for the heads up, it is sad that I've added it to my calendar? Lol! I hope this little one is here by then, the series starts on the due date so could be an interesting watch!

I too have been bouncing around on my gym ball. My midwife said it would help turn baby from back to back. He definitely seemed very active afterwards and we had some very awkward movements, so maybe he has? I'm going to keep using it daily now in the hope it may help bring labour on, nothing to lose really. I did notice I lost an awful lot of jelly like cm after bouncing on it. Could just be coincidence? I'm going to start up with a daily walk as well now that I am finished work

We're due to swap our room around a little to get Moses basket in and plan on doing it today whilst DH is here. I love my side of the bed but as DH works nights I tend to find myself head on his side body on mine and try to maintain this even when he is home poor man has to sleep in what space we have, I get the best night sleep in that position though.

I would love him here before Christmas

Is anyone else not having BH?
Also has everyone started massage? I keep meaning too, well DH does as I can't quite reach but never seem to remember

I was quite excited when I saw about One Born Every Minute in the paper and had to double check that it was a new series and not just re-runs, but it is!

I'm not having BH either. Well at least I don't think I am. I sometimes get some mild pain if I walk too fast, but it doesn't feel like a tightening or what I would expect BH to feel like. I have also been getting some quite sharp pains in my pelvis when I am walking which take my breath away (feel like a stich, but lower down), but again don't think this is BH.

Re. the massage, me and DH keep talking about starting that, but we keep forgetting to buy some lubricant to help so we haven't done it yet. We are going to give it a bash though and DH is keen to help which is sweet.

New UK one! Starts on 2 January!

I can't believe it is a Sunday and I have been awake since 6.15am. Finally gave in and just got up. DH and I decided to swap sides of the bed yesterday so that I will be closer to the moses basket, but for some reason DHs side of the bed is just not comfortable. It has a giant dip where he lies (he's not particularly heavy) and it made it difficult for me to turn over. Plus now if I lie on my left side I am facing him instead of the edge of the bed and I'm finding that weird. Think I will get him to turn the mattress later to get rid of the dip and I guess the left side thing won't be an issue once baby is here. I cant wait to be able to lie on my back and stomach again!

UK ladies - I was just flicking through the Radio Times and noticed that there is a new series of One Born Every Minute starting on the 2 January. I wonder if I will have had baby by then or if I will be patiently waiting. DH doesn't understand why I would want to watch all that pain when I am about to go through it.

I have also been wondering about swapping sides of the bed. I sleep on the left but the radiator is in the left and I don't want to put the Moses basket next to the radiator so means we will prob need to swap sides. I've always slept on the left so I ill find that really wierd.
I can't wait until the new series of one born every minute. Next time we watch it though we will be saying 'that happened to me' instead of 'that's going to happen to me'

I have to say I didn't like sleeping on the other side as we have always slept the same way, him on the left, me on the right, but there is no space down my side of the bed for the moses basket (plus that's where the radiator is). I guess I will get used to it and if I don't we can always move back when the baby goes into its own room.

 

[Soniamillie01]

Lilah - I have exactly the same when I walk for too long or too fast. Again not sure they are BH or not. I don't think so as more like a really really low down painful stitch!

Well operation get pipkin here before Xmas starts today!
DH and I are off for a long walk then shopping, I'm going to pick up some raspberry leaf tea too. Will also be bouncing on ball alot and may even try to old hot sex one later was funny my midwife said to me no woman at this stage of pregnancy who has sex three times a day will be pregnant for long - not sure I can manage three times today, let alone any day but DH would certainly think Xmas came early!

New UK one! Starts on 2 January!

This is indeed wonderful news. I hope someone uploads them online so i can stream them. I LOVED the last season.

I was awoken at 3:30 in the morning by painful contractions every ten minutes. Its almost 5 now, and they've officially stopped. These BH contractions are driving me crazy. They start up or I wake up to them and get all excited that maybe this is it, then I suffer through the pain for quite awhile, then they just stop. And then usually baby girl gets the hiccups for an hour or so after so I can't fall back to sleep.

Are any of you being kept awake by BH contractions?

 

[jellybeans]

youtube normally post up OBEM!! So you should be able to watch on there!

Mine frequently woke me. But they were like that my whole pregnancy so it was nothing out of the ordinary for me.

 

[AJThomas]

I wonder which Jellybean will be next!

 

[Betheney]

Should we start making bets?

Thanks Garfie! of course we remember you! Hope you're well and that you have a great christmas! x x x

 

[mellywelly]

Garfie, thank you for the message, that is so nice of you! your chart is looking good

I feel awful! I think I probably have a chest infection,as it purrs when I breathe! I just hope I don't go into labour feeling like this!

Me and dh also have to change sides on the bed. We will probably change soon to get used to it before baby comes, it was very strange for a few days last time!

We never got started on the massage either. I can't reach and got fed up of asking dh who conveniently keeps forgetting

Did they intensify later on? Mine started out a few weeks ago as just a tightening of my uterus which I wouldn't even necessarily describe as uncomfortable, but now they come on me a lot more often and a lot more painful. Does that mean anything?

 

[Soniamillie01]

So operation #getpipkinherebeforexmas had started! Today I've been bouncing on my gym ball for hours, went for a long walk with DH, am just about the blitz clean the house and we even tried the hot sex plus hot curry for dinner.

I know one thing for sure I'll sleep well tonight! I'll have the good old heart burn too after the curry so have stocked up on Rennie's!

I have noticed that today, which could just be coincidental, I have noticed tightened of my lower tummy.

 

[Kaiecee]

All my bones hurt my body hurts belly is hard all the time with these bh really sucks

 

[DittyByrd]

I have been having BHs quite frequently. Most of the time they are tight and non-painful but make me breathe a little harder. I have had a little bit of mucous the past couple of days - I had my first cervical exam 3 days ago. I am wondering if it's pieces of plug or if it's just normal end of pregnancy discharge. Unless a huge glob comes out I will believe it's just increased discharge as to not get my hopes up.

I have a confession. I am actually wanting this pregnancy to last a little longer because I simply don't feel ready for a baby. It seems to be going so fast and people are telling me they think I'm going early. It makes me feel panicky. I love this baby but I just don't quite feel ready. Catch me on my due date and I will probably have done a 180!

I feel the same. Im so excited to meet my little girl, but I can wait the 4 weeks til shes due . People keep asking if Im ready to pop, and my reply is always in 4-6 weeks. Unless she just cant wait to meet us.

 

[Lillian33]

Definitely agree Ditty and Prayingforbaby! I dont feel prepared or ready at all! But ultimately they will come when they're ready. I have had three friends do nothing to induce labour and they all came early, whereas the 1 friend who tried everything was 10 days late

Glad your DS's party went well Melly

Yay to your mum getting here so soon Snow! So glad your princess has managed to stay put until now

Kaiecee, I hope you start to feel better, I know you have been suffering quite badly the last week or so.

Sonia, really hope your niece is all ok, how scary for your family

Arrgghh Monday morning and still at work! Trying to concentrate on the extra paid time with my little boy to get through the week!!

Hope everyone had nice weekends xxx
