Susie - your nursery looks lovely.

Starting to get really jealous now ladies as we arent doing a nursery for this baby Baby will be in our room for the 1st 5-6 months and we are hoping to have moved by the time she needs a room. Phoebe has a nursery so if we get to the point that we havent moved house and baby is ready to go into her own room we will be doing a mad dash panic to change rooms around. Our 2nd bedroom (currently where people stay if they are staying overnight) is OH's office. We will move his office into the nursery and put the 2 girls in the bigger room.

Will have a look on our server for the nursery pics we took as Phoebe's room came together and post them. I love our little nursery.

34 weeks today - new milestone reached. Can't remember why 34 weeks was on my list. OH knows. Next is 35 weeks because I have a midwife appointment. Then 36 week because then there's less chance of brain damage if she's born after then and then 37 weeks because it's full term. Little bit stumped for milestones in the last 3 weeks - any ideas?

I'm in the same situation... still aren't living where we want to be... basically just a studio apt. I'm not even nesting, because I know this isn't where she'll be crawling around. First focus is getting a car... then into a bigger place.

These are the original pics of the nursery we did for our 1st baby. Cant wait to get into our new house and do another nursery.

Hi folks, how's everyone doing?! I've been MIA for weeks, sorry! It's nice to read back now and catch up on where everyone is-and feeling bumpy and a bit uncomfy seems to be a general theme!
I'm on leave from work now mainly because of pregnancy diabetes which has left me wiped. Had got to so use to feeling like crap though that that was the way it was supposed to be between now and...forever, starting to feel better now after a few days at home already.
I've been researching cloth nappies, does anyone have any experience or views on the following:
-terry nappies (by FAR the cheapest option!)
-bamboozle stretch
-little lamb
-bum genius
They're quite expensive so I want to make sure I get it right.
I spent yesterday and today washing and drying baby gros, all getting very exciting and scary.
Take care ladies and little ones!!

I have got bamboozles and ittis plus wraps and prefolds for newborn. Then loads of BTP for when he is big enough. I have lots of Issy bears, ittis and TB Easyfits I use for Caine. I have a bit of a pretty cloth nappy addiction xx

Is it normal to get diarrhea at the end of pregnancy? I can't remember getting this last time. I am usually constipated!

I had diarrhea at the end of my last pregnancy and I had it all day yesterday with really bad vomiting. I put it down to a bug yesterday as Im feeling better today. Spoke to Midwife yesterday as nothing was staying down and I was worried about bean as she wasnt as active. She advised me that some ladies experience diarrhea towards the end of the pregnancy as the body tries to clear itself out ready for labour. There is a d&v bug doing the rounds so it could be just that. Keep drinking plenty to replace what you are loosing.

Hope you are better now hun! xx

Well mostly there is quite a lot going on!!
Glad on the whole everybody is well though!

Hi ladies...

Had a nice antenatal session today as a 3 week old came in to demonstrate bathing, so cute. We saw the instruments for labour as well so I guess not so scary if you know in advance. I'm thinking about opting for a epidural for pain relief but really not sure.

[QUOTE

Glad the other antenatal went better!! My NHS ones started yesterday... did you have a lot of other people there? There were about 30 people in mine yesterday!!

Had a lot baby things going on this week. EVERYTHING feels baby related at the moment. I suppose thats to be expected when baby takes up residence in your ribs. The best things was my friends throwing me a suprise baby shower on Sunday. I almost went into early labour which the shock!!
I was so touched... plus I was moaning to OH only the other day that I wasn't having a shower so then I felt guilty that I didn't have enough faith!! lol

20 working days till Mat Leave.... can't bloody come soon enough...

Can't believe we are going to need a Baby thread soon!

Whats scarier than a July due date thread? AN AUGUST BABY THREAD!! Yes, there are now August babies in 1st tri... I'm feeling very old and wise now! lol!!

Love to all ....

PS. I love Gillian McKeith. You know you do too.

Hiya people.

Ok - dumb moment - what is VBAC?

Secondly, have started with a weird pain today - it's kinda like the pain that you get when you need the toilet and you've held it too long. A kind of sharp ache around about the pubic bone at the front. I'm not explaining it well. Does anyone know what it is?

VBAC stands for vaginal birth after a c section. I had to have an emergency c section with my daughter.

It sounds a bit like your baby is engaging to me. I have had a pain like that the last few days. x

Ah, makes sense now. I cold work out the vaginal birth but then I got a bit stuck.

Should I be worried that the baby's engaging? Is it early for her to be doing that? Though, to be fair, she's getting so big that I wouldn't be surprised if she comes mid-late December instead of waitng for Jan 6th.

No, if baby is getting further down in to the birth canal it does not mean that labour is imminent, they can stay like that for weeks.

Hey girls! Had yet another terrible night's sleep with me getting up at 1am and then 5am, not being able to sleep, so not a long post as i am abolsutely shattered! Plus, I don't know what it going on down there but it all feels soooo heavy, I can hardly bend over, sitting down feels really awkward and I have constant backache which spreads down my legs, with the occasional cramping. Oh the joys! Had doc apptmt this morning but there's nothing going on in there, its all part and parcel. Ooh cant believe the Dec dreamers are upt o 16 babies now!!! Eeek!

Its Thanksgiving here tomorrow so hubby has a nice 4 day weekend Plus have finally decided on my sis/bro-in-law xmas prez so am ordering today and am ordering a camcorder we have decided on.

Washed all bubs clothes yday and the towels we have bought for her, just got bedding left to do. I'm starting to feel slightly more organised now. Although still have very low motivation/energy for much else.

Anyway, hope u r all good

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Here's my 32 week bump pic with the 27 week to compare. What a difference 5 weeks make! My friends and OH say that she looks like she's coming out soon! Still on the fence about that-- not sure if I want that or not!

Lovely bump! You are carrying very low.

Afternoon all, well I dont know if something is happening here or not. Had a strange wet sensation and had to even change my jeans. I've not phoned the hospital as can't get up there today anyway. hmmmmm very confused.

time to stick a pad on hun and wait and see, if/when its wet call midwife and they will test it for you! let us know how you get on xx

Yes I agree, you should definitly put a pad on so that if it is amniotic fluid the midwife can test it.

Glad everything went well with your appointment Sarah.


I keep forgetting to take a picture of my bump and it is huuuge now!! lol so here it is compared to my 30 week picture.

View attachment 140075 30 Weeks

View attachment 140077 Today - 35+4

I have been feeling so much better today I have been on a cleaning mission again! Have got the pram in now and been cleaning that and trying to remember how to change it from a pushchair to a pram! lol

I am going to get the marzipan on the christmas cake tonight so I can get that iced tomorrow. I love Christmas!!! and I am putting up the tree this weekend. Wahoooo

Yay so exciting I love it too! Fab bump! xx

I cant believe I am about to do this as I dont like my bump pictures and no-one other than me normally gets to see them but I feel comfortable sharing them with you ladies.

Does the size of my bump look ok for 33 weeks? I took it earlier today, the horrible stretchies are from Phoebe's pregnancy Bump looks a little small to me, compared them to photos I took at this point with Phoebe and bump is lower and smaller. OH thinks it is because I am considerably lighter than I was last pregnancy. I have only put 8-10lb on tis pregnancy whereas I put 44lb at least on with Phoebe.

Looks like a fab bump! Similar to mine hun xx
You are lucky I have gained 26 pounds!

 

[jms895]

Hey guys, whatever our bump size or shape we have to remember that they are our bumps to make the most of and our babies are inside
Saying that I thought it was about time I took my 32 week pic so here it is at 32+4.....definately grown!

Fab bump pics and nursery hun! x

 

[jms895]

I have grown a little bit I think and measuring 35 weeks Baby is locked and loaded too

 

[hodbert]

Hey ladies sorry not posting properly but being Thanksgiving we have people over. Just wanted to let you girls know that 2016 had her little boy today at 35+6. I know she wasnt really a regular poster in here but she was an original JB, so thought some of you might be interested to know.
