[Mom 2B]

Awwww congrats to her, he's a little cutie!!!

I actually got Jessie's babygirl's weight wrong, it's even better than I said: 4lb 15oz

Ok now my little one was smaller by 2 oz. Glad to hear a healthy weight thou.

That baby is just gorgeous!!!!! Kinda makes me wanna meet my little man right now but I know hes not done cooking, and hopefully he stays put and grows some more. I have my growth u/s on Monday and the days are just draggin by. I just wanna know what his weight its right now so I can know what to expect.

 

[Mom 2B]

I added you and i got Naomi's request.

Hey Jellybeans...

Yay another baby girl... Can't wait for the story and name revelation...
Is everyone set on names now? We were banding about a couple but have landed on a couple we like, will end up deciding properly on the day I think...

Sorry the consultant was so utterly crap Rachael. Deffo complain!

You can add me on FB - Rebecca Young - pic is my bump in a pink dress... plus I'm friends with most ladeeez here.

Only 2 weeks 3 days til Mat Leave!! Work was a mixed bag today. Got told to put together an application for a promotion before I leave by my manager as there is something coming up whilst I'm on Mat Leave. It's pretty much the opposite of most peoples experiences on going off to have a baby!

On the flip side they did say they are having an office shuffle-round 2 days before I leave and do I mind sorting my desk out then and hotdesking til I leave

Don't let the door hit you on the way out... hehehe.... xx

Hope the shuffle goes ok! Yes I think we are 90% sure on a name

Well ladies, I actually managed to get some sleep!!!!!! I can't tell you how much better I feel, was starting to get really down yday thinking that this was going to be it until she was born. I really am not functional on 4 hours sleep a day and am a total b*tch too! Had some spotting yday, but it was only a tiny amount and think it was from doc's internal so still not expecting anything, but hey ho, it's nice to have some signs!

Morning all, im here to moan again. Ive got horrid runs and and very irregular contractions (only 1 every 15-20 minutes) Going to have a bath to see if it eases off when mum comes back from town.

We actually have the odd bus running here now which is good to see, means the roads must of cleared a little.

Hey Fraggles i hope u r ok and bubs holds on a lil bit longer

Good luck buttonjessie. Hope everything goes ok and LO is ok.

Hope everything is ok Fraggles, take it easy

Sorry ladies but i need to have a rant/rave/whinge/moan dont know what to call it

Back from consultant appointment and it has to have been the most disappointing and pointless appointment going, really not worth driving 30 mins on the dangerous roads for, in -10 degrees.

I can't believe how useless they were to you! It really scares me reading all these things about how you get treated on the NHS, makes me glad I'm over here atm! I would definitely complain about it and try not to book in with that doc again.


Lisa - glad you got some sleep!

Jess's little girl has arrived safe and sound and a cracking 4lb 10oz mum and baby are both doing well and she got to have her skin-on-skin xxxx I won't give her name away though, she can announce that! xx

Yey for another JB! And huge congrats to Jess, glad to hear her and LO are doing well!

Hey Jellybeans...

Yay another baby girl... Can't wait for the story and name revelation...
Is everyone set on names now? We were banding about a couple but have landed on a couple we like, will end up deciding properly on the day I think...

We've not decided on a name yet either. We were talking about it last night, we have a few we are considering but not making our minds up until we see her.

Yay buttonjessie! New Babies galore!

Mum2be, sorry you're having to much trouble with the docs. You'd think people who chose to do what they do would be a little more sympathetic and excited about what they did.

Fraggles, You can add me. go to facebook.com/disneydancr

Grrr! I've caught OH's cold. Luckily I can still breathe through my nose, but I have a scratchy throat and cough. It's not too bad yet, but considering it's the third tri, and my immune system is compromised, It'll get worse before it gets better. Oh well. Hope all you ladies are doing well. Talk to you soon!

Hope you feel better soon x

Update on Sarah is that she had to have a blood transfusion yesterday and may have to have another one as she lost almost 2 litres of blood in total. She has been back on a drip today.

Baby is off oxygen and had his first feed yesterday, doing really well but has to be put under a lamp for a couple of days as he has jaundice.

For people who havent seen Sarah's baby yet I have got to put a picture on as he is soooo cute!

Congrats burtonjessie!

Mum2be2011-that is terrible how dare they treat you that way

Sar's LO is so sweet thanks for posting pics.

I am officially done work now on holidays for a month before mat leave starts

Yay!

I added you and i got Naomi's request.

I will try and find you in a bit hun as I can only access FB on my mob x

Snowing here again ladies am utterly pissed off with it now!
Plus Sky has lost its signal whilst I was watching the Walking Dead so I am fuming!

 

[LittleMrs]

More like a bowling ball Millward, I cannot bend over at all!! Getting to the point where OH is having to help out with trousers/socks/shoes. Now, where did I leave my dignity again......

I spent half an hr trying to shave my legs today- that's not happening again till I go into labour. Lol.

 

[LittleMrs]

Jade, snow broke our sky- knocked the receiver off the dish. Boo. Digital tv is rubbish.

Lol I did the same thing, got half way through and was knackered, had to stop for a breather! I won't even go into detail about the other 'bits' I decided to prune, it was like a workout!!!!

 

[Mom 2B]

Not sure if this link will work or not but here are the pics of my Little girls room on facebook. I decided instead of doing up the nursery we would do up a "big girl" room for my little one. Baby boy will sleep in our room for atleast 4 months anyway so that still gives us lots of time to do up his room.

Lol. Didn't even try beyond my kneecaps. TMI would need a hedge trimmer by now. Which brings me to a delicate question I've been trying to get up the nerve to ask. What do we think is the pubic etiquette for giving birth. I have regular smears and I always worry about this. Should we take it all? Leave it? Trim? I'm assuming it will be easier to see baby's head etc with less fuzz and prob easier in the case of an episiotomy but I don't want the midwife thinking I'm a weird, hairless sexual deviant or something. Now I know I'm probably the only person in the universe who thinks about these things (especially at 5am) but there's a chance that everyone else knows the answer already so might as well ask.

 

[Fraggles]

Awww Sarah's baby is adorable

Morning all, gosh im awake too early my little one decided he wanted up so im having a to wake me up

 

[LittleMrs]

Yup, fraggles, i'm awake too. Gonna try and go bk to sleep. OH is dozing silently and LO is wriggling away. Possibly limited success coming up.

Love this conv! My normal etiquette, ie non-pregnant, is as naked as can be, I just prefer it that way, but I haven't been able to fulfil this for some time now due to 1. lack of visibility, 2. lack of energy to get down there and 3. sheer laziness! However I have gone as close to this as i could get today. For birth I think its down to your own preference, I'm pretty sure the medical staff have seen it all and don't really care or make judgement. I was reading the other day that less down there can mean less mess, with the placenta, bledding and all that other good stuff. I also read that if for any reason you have to have a c-section, that they may have to shave some off anyway, so if you prefer to do it yourself then to do so. Sorry if TMI ladies, hope this conv doesnt offend anyone!

 

[Fraggles]

When they do a section they just shave the top of the bikini line, mine was done in an emergency and it was literally a 2 minute job.

 

[smiffy85]

I'm up too! Coughing and spluttering again so got up so I wouldn't disturb OH!

Really funny last night, Jack got really excited about the new snow that was falling all of a sudden. I asked him why he was excited now after having this weather for days and he said 'cos I haven't gotta drive to work tomorrow'. Bless him he's been holding all his snow happiness inside cos of driving conditions and worrying about the roads.

How are you fraggles? Any more developments or is LO behaving at the mo??

Susie - yeah faff is called sam but not sure what her last name is. Need to investigate further lol!

Naomi - is samantha hemmingfield faff&fidget on facebook??

xxxx

 

[Fraggles]

Baby is behaving thankfully knowing me i'll go overdue he's just enjoying teasing me I think

 

[smiffy85]

Aww bless hun. Really won't be long now before we meet all our jellybeans! xx

 

[Disneydancr]

good morning to all my lovely english ladies! I'm still awake over here with an annoying cold. Jealous of OH as he gets to take Nyquil to knock himself out... have to be happy with warm tea, I guess and try to get some sleep. Talk to you all later.

 

[Jolene]

I am officially done work now on holidays for a month before mat leave starts

Yay for holidays hun!

lol Ladies and don't worry I don't see why anyone would be offended. I'm just trying to keep everything in order but it's already so difficult and my tummy is growing by the day. With my c-sec they shaved but only a bit at my bikini line. This time I hope to do it on my own as I've been using the hair removal cream which I think works better. As for shaving my legs, well Mike is going to have to learn a new skill very soon

[LittleMrs]

Having a minor panic attack. Have been thinking of my due date in terms of weeks away but realised this morning that it's now getting pretty low on the actual days. Looked at the mini-milestones and freaked myself out a bit. It's 3 days until I've got 30 days 2 days until it's one month, then 5 days until it's only 4 weeks, which is under 30 days then the following Friday I'm into the teens for days left. Then it's only a short step to single figures. Argh!!!!!!
Does anyone else think that being pregnant is a bit like the lead up to getting married? You know it's GOING to happen but it's surreal and far away, even when it's not, because you can't imagine it actually happening and your life changing that dramatically forever. I got all the way thru my wedding day with a sense of surrealism (and a lot of champagne).

Thanks ladies for answering my bizarre question and I agree, my OH is gonna have to learn some new leg-shaving skills too. Don't think I'd trust him with the rest though. Lol.

Feel better soon Regina....

Sar sorry you've had to leave your little man behind for a bit.....here's to him coming home soon x

Lovin the pube conversation....I like to keep some on but have trimmed right down for birth as blood etc not good. Sure we will all have more to share post labour! My major embarassment is the colour being golden....am I a freak? Have they seen it all before? Think my shame is related to this horrid teenage boy who went round school telling everyone I have a ginger pussy Sorry if tmi....
