***January Jellybeans***~ 35 BABY GIRLS & 23 BABY BOYS BORN ~***

[proudestdad]

I got it from a website that I built called Mamma La Rocca (www.mammalarocca.co.uk). It is primarily a lingerie shop for pregnant women!!

If only I could count how many times that link gets clicked from this forum lol!!

 

[mum2be2011]

I want baby to hold on till after New Year because looks like i've had my babies further apart than 14 months then

Im with you on that front Fraggles. Phoebe isnt 14 months old till the 16th December and will be 3 days short of being 15 months if Hayley arrives on her due date of the 13th. Its vanity I know but I dont want one baby with an 09 birth year and one with 10. I will keep my legs firmly closed and stop pushing if I go into labour new years eve just so that baby is 1.1.11

 

[lovealittle1]

for all the ladies that have reached the last box on ticker and so many of us are almost term!!!

Laura – Yay for lung development

Iprettii – Have a lovely time in NY

All the jj’s talking about baking is making my tummy growl

to all the jj’s feeling ill.

Millward – I am jealous of the BF workshop you are going to. Nothing like that is offered here unless of course you want to pay privately for it. Have you brought back any tips?

Hodbert – Has baby been more active yet?? I know how you feel about getting in and out of bed. It is like I have build up the momentum and then get to the loo and just a little bit come out!

Fraggles – exciting about getting a date sorted!

Jojo-m – yay for almost being done Uni!!

Proudestdad – welcome to the forum and great onesie!!

Neko – you could also try spending time on all fours or sitting on a bolster or pillow on the floor with a straight spine – no leaning against anything.


I am day 3 of my leave and I am loving it. I do not miss work one bit! has been extremely active this morning and I can feel lots of wiggiling down low so hopefully that means is engaging.

 

[Jolene]

I just put the last item I needed into my hospital bag, now baby and I are packed and ready! It all feels so real now all of a sudden!

Mr Rach, I love the outfit!

Jojo, you go girl!

Faff, I was thinking about you this morning so glad to see your update. Sorry about the pre eclampsia On the bright side we're 35 weeks today so not much longer and baby can come out!

[jms895]

Afternoon all, well seen the hospital and i'll be having baby early by c/s looks like will be 38-39 weeks they are phoning me with a date.

Yay wont be long now

Yay fraggles you lucky devil! I'm going to be very jealous when all these babies come before mine! Glad you got your section sounded like that's what you wanted!

Faff hope they don't leave you too long in limbo and you have a good birth, considering how well all our new jellybeans are doing I'd say baby should be great even tho early! Keep us updated!

Hi to proudestdad, nice to see a hubby taking some interest, I have enough trouble getting my hubby to chose a name never mind anything else! He was rubbish last time too, only takes interest and is a good dad when baby arrives! So just me that suffers ;-)

Ipretti forgot what I was going to say to you, on iPhone so won't show me posts but think your seeing hubby at weekend? I'm sure your really looking forward to seeing him, must be tough been alone a lot!

Off to Uni today, only have one more lecture next week and that's all theory time finished! One essay to write and a final placement of 14 weeks to do after mat leave and I'm a qualified nurse! Woo hoo! X

Rache managed to intercept my surprise for baby this morning, so I figured I might as well post pics on here for all to see (plus I think it is ace and everyone should see it!)....

It is in 0 - 3 months, so hopefully baby will get some good wear out of it!

Hope everyone is doing well, or as well as you can in your various situations. We are thinking of you all and hoping all goes well for all of you

That babygrow is so cute!

That's adorable! Good taste.

So many January babies here already!

I panicked this morning. I hadn't felt the baby by 9:15 so I called my OB. Of course the baby starts kicking at 9:20. d'oh...

Unfortunately yesterday's ultrasound shows the baby decided to turn breech. Anyone know what the chances of the baby turning now is?

I had the same scare 2 weeks ago and called my OB right away. She said the movement is actually a really good thing and that it's far too early to worry about position. Don't need to really monitor that until 37 or 38 weeks.

For all of you ladies whose babies have started to engage, did you experience a sharp increase in movement? The last couple of weeks, my LO seems to move, then nap, then wiggle a bit more, then nap, and so on. All last night though, it felt as though she felt like she was swimming and flipping all over the place. She keeps changing positions and doing somersaults like if she was back to 24 weeks as opposed to 34 weeks of gestation. lol. Anyone else experiencing this?

That is the cutest thing ive seen!!!! Love it

Well im going to get started on packing hospital bags today. I went out and bought most of the things i needed. Got a diaper bag too. I was giong to wait until after my shower but if baby comes early I want to have all his things packed in it already. I have a dr appt today. Just to talk about my hospital trip onthe weekend. Hoping he will check my measurments and maybe ill be back on track

 

[Mom 2B]

I have found in the last week that baby is more active more often during the day....but the movements are not as strong. Feels more like rolls and stretching then the kicks and punches i use to feel. Baby use to be really active every 3-4 hours but now it seems more like every hour or two hes moving around for abut 10-15 minutes.
Im sure the movements are not as strong because there is less room now but i wish they were still following the 3-4 hour time frame.....makes it hard to plan out napping during quiet time! LOL

 

[Fraggles]

My stomach looks alien like when baby moves, looks like he's going to burst out I still get big strong movements but they knock me for six as I feel like my insides are turning inside out.

 

[LittleMrs]

Fraggles congrats on last box.

I'm not anywhere near finishing packing the hospital bag - I've finished LO's bag, I've thought about a bag for OH that I can stick his book, i-pod and gameboy in (I'm so worried he's going to be bored or over-stressed) and I've got about half of my stuff bt I'm missing some fairly essential stuff like button front nighties and stuff.

There was a website which you can buy unusual babygros from - I can't remember what it is though, so that wasn't very helpful of me. Sorry. I'll hve a search and see what I can find.

If it's alien bellies your talking about check out this video my OH sent me a few days ago! It's so weird!!!

Thats great news Jo. Which branch of nursing did you do?

I did childrens nursing but left at the point you are at now. Never did my final placement. Stupid I know. Going back once the girls are older to get my degree

Its adult branch, wanted to be a midwife but have long term plan to get into health visiting which is more important and you need to have adult nursing for that and only got offer of adult so thats what happened. Will be so glad to finish though a bit apprehensive to go back after so long off straight into final placement!

Would you have to do all the course again? how long have you been out of it? you should use def go back

I LOVE that babygrow! Someone posted it when I was in 1st tri but I didnt go for it in the end, think its fab though!

Hodbert – Has baby been more active yet?? I know how you feel about getting in and out of bed. It is like I have build up the momentum and then get to the loo and just a little bit come out!

Not really more active but decided to do a kick count earlier and counted 10 in about 15 mins so she is obviously still moving, but because shes so low now I dnt feel it as much unless i'm concentrating. Going to keep an eye on it though.

I'm in my last box, I just noticed

Yey for last box!

Yey!

Sorry to everyone who is ill, it cant be nice being so far along and sick, esp if you have LO's to look after. I got a bad cold at about 32 weeks and that was hard enough, am still sniffling from it!

My god I am uncomfy down there at the moment. Everything kills when I move and I'm walking like I've got a ball between my thighs! Hubby has started having a little giggle to himself whenever I get up and waddle off, I could swing for him! I've told him he's carrying the next one!

 

[Disneydancr]

Thanks for sharing that link smiffy! It's the best video of movement I've seen! My LO is not quite that visible, but almost!

 

[LittleMrs]

I have an anterior placenta and so I can't really see much movement at all.

 

[LittleMrs]

Also, there's a couple of websites that sell funky babygros/rompers etc.

Dirty fingers
Stardust
Nappyhead

They're all quite expensive though.

Yeah would have to start again which sucks really. The NMC have a rule apparently that you have 5 years from start of course to completing it and if you dont complete it in the 5 years you then have to wait 5 years before you can re-enrol. I left in September/October 2006 so will have to wait till Jan 2012 as they count the 1st of September as start of the new year.

Cant wait to be honest I miss it so much, I loved my placements in the hospital, hated community placements but then I had 2 bad community placements with mentors that didnt want students. Ive done 2 general paeds (medical & surgery mixed), paed cardiac and then I did school nursing and palliative care in the community.

Mine is playing position roulette. Last Friday she was transverse, yesterday she was breech. Now today she was transverse again, but facing the opposite way of Friday.
