Sorry to hear you're feeling pants JMS

Wow, you guys are getting so organised with clothes and things, I don't even have the nursery furniture to put them in yet, so just a little pile of things for bubs. I don't really know how many clothes babies need so haven't bought much. Anyone know where to get reasonably priced white nursery sets? Do they sell them in the sales after Xmas?

As for labour I think I want to experience it because it might actually make me feel like I'm having a baby! Hope the little man turns head down. Anyone else feel slightly strange at the idea of having their very own baby? Does it affect the bonding if you have a C-Sec?

Naomi my classes are a little messy as they booked them right up to 12th Jan and I'll be home by then. But managed to sort out going to some at the local children's centres (used to be called Sure Start). They are free so maybe you could check online - they're usually happy to have people attend as it advertises their services for when baby arrives.

Millward, a c-sec doesn't affect the bonding with the baby. The bonding comes when you hold your little one and breastfeed. Some women feel 'cheated' when they have a c-sec but I don't understand why. I felt as though I went through a real birth and it was still awesome - even after abdominal surgery, lol.

 

[millward329]

Thanks Jolene,

Does this look like enough clothes for a little one ladies? Serious baby brain moment, turned to get the camera and saw my undrunk cup of morning coffee....doh! Wondered why I was still groggy

Looks good to me hun!

I have mega back ache Gosh I am always moaning

 

[sar35]

Whey hey finally some good news!
Blood pressure is high but not overly high, amniotic fluid is higher side of normal but not a concern at the moment, baby is measuring 35 weeks but the best news is that the placenta is posterior so could move out of the way up til 37weeks whey hey!
The black cloud is lifting... have another appt a week on tues with a scan but they were quite optimistic, so finally I can breathe a sigh of slight relief.He said i can have a normal delivery if its moved and I said that I was looking forward to a section lol, he even said we might be able to have sex if it moves lol, that will be a novelty!!!
Have a water infection and will find out results of GTT this afternoon but pleased with what ive heard so far, thanks for all the support on here i know i sound like a moaning whinger but you can understand why
I havent had time to read the other posts but i will catch up soon MIL goes home on Saturday so will have more time to post
PMA PMA PMA

as jolene said a c section does not mean you wont bond with bubs,i bonded straight away with my son in fact it was the best day of my life and bf also helps with this but each to own ,i dont know any different but thats my take on c-sections,the whole thing was amazing

Glad that things seem to be on the up Sar.

Is anyone else having trouble with having an acidy throat? I took Gaviscon with my tea last night. I went to bed, but lying down kept making me feel gassy and acidy in my throat I ended up having to sit up to get to sleep.

Mothercare do a good bundle deal with 20% off on their furniture and it's always worth looking for voucher codes on line. I found the code AF9 which is 10% off if you spend over £120 so that would save you 30% in total!

It didn't affect my bonding at all having a c-section, I was just so happy to see her arrive safe and sound and like Jolene and ama, I found that breastfeeding really helps the bonding too, although some people do have to wait a few days for the milk to come in after a c-section so you have to be very patient. It took three days for mine to come in.

Thanks for the info on the classes, I will have a look into that.

Looks good to me hun!

Hope you feel better soon hun. I suffer with back ache a lot and was shocked when my husband actually came over and rubbed it for me last night ! I think that he has finally realised that I AM in pain! lol

So so pleased for you hun! That must be such a relief. You have plenty of time for it to move still so fingers crossed for a natural delivery!
Lets hope GTT is fine.

I can't believe you are going to be having your baby this month! I bet you are so excited.

Yes I get that a lot when I lay down. i do find that gaviscon works well for me though, or a glass of milk. x

Aw I have a strong milk intolerance when I'm pregnant and can't drink it I might try more Gaviscon and see if it has a better effect.

Lucky you getting a back rub! Think I need to drop more hints to OH.. x

Yay Sar - excellent news day.

Milward I'm with you on wanting to go through labour so it feels real - I think that was the problem, it doesn't feel real and I think it brought it home a bit. That and the women on the DVD kept talking about the life changes with giant smiles on their faces but saying really negative things ('If anything will break up a marriage,having an infant in the house will do it', 'I like solitude and the most draining thing is never having a second to yourself,even when you're on the toilet' etc) and it was all just a bit overwhelming. Looking back, I'm not quite sure why I was so upset. Oh well.

32 weeks today, been to see midwife - she's not worried about my itching because it's inkeepig with my eczema. The period-like pains she says is probably trapped wind, since I've experienced it from the start. Bump is 32cm, blood pressure is perfect, I don't have diabetes, blood and urine seems good.

'm ecxtatic everything is ok, obviously. Anyone else having a pregnancy that's so free of complication it's making them a bit nervous? I'm such a morbid worrier.

Wow - I've just seen my spelling, swear it was a slip of the finger, not illiteracy (you'll all be worried about the people who are teaching your children English).
