[sar35]

Hope all is well Millward

I'm supposed to be tidying up my bedroom before the m/w comes tomorrow for my home birth assessment but I cba As long as she can get to the bed on the day, that should be ok shouldn't it? I'm just grateful she's coming now and not once I've got a house full of christmas crap and over-excited children She'd run for the hills!

lol, i always worry about homebirths as I can never get hold of my mw at the best of times....just have a quick going over tomorrow! What is she coming to look at?

 

[pinkie77]

TBH Sar, I'm not sure! She muttered something about making sure there was enough space? but as I've got a 4 bed house I don't think that'll be a problem lol. I'm just worried she's going to object to the animals or the fact that my bedroom is downstairs and the bathroom/toilet are upstairs - silly the things I get in my head I'm sure everything will be ok though, just want to get it over with now.

Right, I feel it's getting to be a bit of a thing where I whine and complain so I apologise in advance coz I'm gonna do it anyway today. My boss asked how I was doing yesterday and I said fine but very tired. So she says 'well, you'll have plenty of time for sleep when you leave'. I leave on 17th December and am
due on 6th Jan. I said I didn't think so with Xmas and baby's room and our room and the tidying etc and she replied that my OH can do that. I laughed and told her he's still working full time, probably including Xmas day and she just said 'well, I still think you'll have plenty of time'. Is it just me or do women who've chosen not to have children tend to be complete cows when it comes to understanding how draining being pregnant is. She also wants me to do a 20 page report for in 2 weeks and to sort out what I want all my classes to do when I'm off. I can think of a few choice words I'd love to say to the woman, including pointing out that I COULD have left 4 weeks ago. What a ...........
Sorry, just feeling very sorry for themselves.

My male boss is like this. He is this grumpy old man with no family and when he started he got rid of family sick time because he thinks that having a family is a personal choice. I cannot stand him - he has had no compassion for anyone who has been prenant here! At least we will all be gone soon from our jobs- it is just sad IMO when people make work their number 1 priority in their lives.

Hope everything is ok Susie. Big hugs.

 

[LittleMrs]

Going back to hospital now as leaking fluid....didn't mention it last night as felt it may have been urine but as it is still happening this morning thought I'd best phone. They are going to check it for me....little bean STOP worrying Mummy!

Good luck, fingers crossed it's nothing. xx

I know exactly what you mean - we respect their choice not to have a family, they should respect our choice TO have families (though to be fair I suppose we should probably thank them for not reproducing - grumpy old prats).

 

[millward329]

Phew, all is well with bean and he has been firmly told to behave himself from now on. The water was not amniotic fluid fortunately but I do have a UTI so have been given antibiotics. Today he measured the correct height so must have just been so far tucked down yesterday....babies don't grow 2cm overnight They let me have the growth scan anyway and was nice to see his brain and stomach etc....no face as head is tucked firmly in the pelvis. He's on the 58th centile. So appart from needing to pee even more than my pregnant frequency, all is well Thanks for all the support everyone

 

[Jolene]

Glad to hear Millward.

 

[sar35]

[blessed]

Glad to hear you and LO are perfectly fine Millward!

Hey girls!

Sorry, just feeling very sorry for themselves.

Feel free to feel sorry for yourself, I applaud you for still working, I struggle to get out of bed let alone have to go to work! I have to say before I was pregnant I didn't really comprehend just what you go through - one of my friends was pregnant last year and when I look back I feel bad as I don't think I really understood or was really there for her. That been said I wasn't a total d*** to her either!!!!

Going back to hospital now as leaking fluid....didn't mention it last night as felt it may have been urine but as it is still happening this morning thought I'd best phone. They are going to check it for me....little bean STOP worrying Mummy!

Glad to hear all is well, apart from the UTI of course and bean is mneasuring back on track! I forgot to say my baby girl was measuring in 75th percentile when I went for my last scan at about 30 weeks, I think that mean shes big right? Anyway they've estimated her to be a 8/8.5lber! Eek!

 

[millward329]

Ooh Hodbert that does sound big, but they say easier to push out than tiddlers. My estimated baby weight is 4 pounds and he still has to grow for 8 more weeks. It will be interesting to see who out of the Jellybean's has the heaviest baby

 

[hodbert]

Well considering I'm only 4ft10 and was 98lb pre-preg it's gonna be fun for me! Hubby was a big baby though, so it was to be expected!

 

[Disneydancr]

yay millward! Glad to hear you and your LO is ok. Maybe it was lucky they caught that UTI before it got any worse.

 

[mum2be2011]

Glad everything is ok with you and baby Millward

Just a quick one from me ladies, just to say that I wont be around after tonight till Monday as we're off to Bristol for the weekend tomorrow lunchtime to see OH's family, to look at a few houses for us to get an idea of what we can afford down there as house prices are higher down there and on Saturday we are meeting up with a few girls I lived with whilst at uni in Bristol. Cant wait as I havent seen one of them in over 6 years

Just wanted to let you ladies know as we are getting so close to our due dates now and I didnt want anyone worrying that there was something wrong with baby as I wont be able to access facebook either.

Have a lovely weekend ladies and I hope none of the jellybeans misbehave this weekend, take care and look after yourselves and your beans

 

[naomicourt]

Glad everything is ok Susie. It must be such a relief knowing that you are not leaking fluid.

Have a lovely time hun.



Is anybody else getting REALLY impatient about meeting their baby?? because I am, I just can't wait to give it lots of cuddles and kisses! lol
Come on baby please come out at 37 weeks then I will only have two weeks to wait!

 

[Mom 2B]

Well considering I'm only 4ft10 and was 98lb pre-preg it's gonna be fun for me! Hubby was a big baby though, so it was to be expected!

I was told by my dr that hubbys weight at birth has nothing to do wth the size of babies you carry. It all has to dowith your weight at birth. Im expecting another little one as I was only 5lbs 6oz at birth. Im hoping for at least a 5lber this time though. 4lbs 13oz just seemed soo tiny to me.

 

[Disneydancr]

Just noticed- 2nd to last picture for my ticker and my LO has been upgraded to Watermelon! Woohoo!

Yes, naomi. I am SO done with being pregnant. I'm not going to elaborate, because quite frankly I don't have the energy or emotional capacity... but I'm sure you all have an idea, since you're going through it too. It's so frustrating seeing Madison's foot sticking out and waving about protruding 2-3 inches from my bump and not be able to actually see her and hold her and take care of her. I can't wait to look into her eyes the first time. at least I'm in single digit weeks finally!

 

[LittleMrs]

Yeah disney - totally over pregnancy.

Millward, excellent news (except the uti).

I'm expecting about 8lb for our baby as I was 7lb 7oz, OH was 8lb something, we were both long babies too. Apparently the baby has two sets of growth hormones, the ones from the father are growth hormones and the ones from the mother are growth limiting hormones - making sure that the baby cannot get too big for your frame. Having said that - looking at measurements from my 20 week scan against the chart in my green notes it looks like we're somewhere round about the 50th centile give or take 2-3 I would say so looks like I'm smack on for average weight which I think is somewhere around 7-8 lbs.

 

[LittleMrs]

yup. checking the sheets again there is a weight estimate next to the abdominal circumference and looking at the centile I'm closest too my guestimate of between 7 and a half and 8lb is smack on. Whoop whoop (not for the weight but for the awesome guestimate).

 

[hodbert]

I am def ready to see baby girl, am gradually getting more and more impatient, but trying not to say too much!

I was told it was hubbys birth weight that generally suggests what babies birth weight will be

Apparently in 4 days I go up to last box! Eek!
