Hi ladies

My baby has been much quieter the past few days too. I don't like it but have put it down to this late stage of pregnancy. As for the lady garden I am still going for my waxes to maintain the forest! Even though I can't see what my esticician does anymore! I should really put something under my bedsheet too as I wouldn't want to soil our mattress if my waters went in the night. Will have to give it some thought - thanks for the idea ladies. Hope everyone is As good as can be xxxx

lovealittle - i noticed your bump buddies with Jaymeebee. Have you heard anything from her? How did the induction go yesterday, is baby on the way?

 

[naomicourt]

My belly feels so sore today. I don't know why. My ceaser scar feels really tender too, maybe it's all the stretching!

Has anybody else got really soft stools?? Is it really a sign that labor is close? As I have been getting loads the last few days!

 

[sar35]

my scar is hurting today too, im not feeling too well but not sure why... i hope its not infected
Naomi i believe the soft stools are a good sign I read somewhere about your body having a clearout before labour

We are bump buddies but only on here we never exchanged mobile numbers unfortunately I have not heard anything.

I've had soft stools for the past 2 days I'm so tired of wiping my butt... LOL.. its not the easiest thing to do anymore

Plus my hips feel really lose... like somebody needs to tighten the screws or something... its so weird!

 

[LittleMrs]

Blessed - both signs that things are startng to happen.

I've bought a waterproof cotton mattress protector from Dunelm Mill - says it's 100% waterproof so hopefully I can stop panicking about ruining the mattress when/if my waters go in bed.

Am going to start cooking shortly: we bought loads of food to cook and freeze and, although I can't really be bothered, I'm afraid it'll start to go off if I don't start cooking it soon - today soon.

Yikes! I haven't finished packing my bag..... plus my c-section is not for another 9 days (yes, the countdown is official!) I hope I can make it......

Yea I have had soft ones for about a week now!

Legs crossed - now it's passed 37 weeks it could be any time. Will it be a problem if you go into labour naturally? I know you said your c-section was because of a medical condition.


I've put a chicken casserole in the slow cooker and now I'm starting on chicken hotpot now. Then I've got shepherd's pie, spag bol, lasagne and chilli. Though I forgot kidney beans so I think the chilli will need to wait until tomorrow.

As long as I realize that I'm in labour and rush to the hospital it won't be a problem I was told.... if it progresses quickly it could be a problem as it makes the c-section more difficult Apparently baby too far down makes things hard... so I'm really praying I can tighten the screws in my hips! LOL they feel like they're going to pop out of place!

Make sure you take care. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for the next 9 days then.

Morning!

I keep expecting things to be checked at my appointments too but ntohing ever is. Feels like you have to ask for info that should be just given to you like baby engaging, estimated weight of him etc., Then I feel like I am being a pain to them. Lol. I can remember near the beginning ar 1 of my appts that I thought they would listen in for the heartbeat but I was told it wasn't routine any more as sometimes they couldn't find it and it freaked some ladies out! I requested to listen to it and she had to go fetch the device from her car!!! Lol!

B/f ing is worrying me too as my boobs don't seem to have done anything at all during this pregnancy. Has the odd droplet from them but to be honest if they stay the same when bean is born he is gonna be mightily disappointed!! Gonna try it and see what happens and I don't doubt I wil feel crap if it doesn't work out but like you've all said I would rather be a happy mummy than a stressy one. My friend managed for 5 weeks but her little man kept falling asleep on her as soon as he latched on and so wasn't taking any milk. Then when she put him down, within 2 mins he was crying cos he was hungry so she decided to move to expressing and formula as they weren't getting anywhere! She said it was the best decision she has made so far and her little one is much happier and sleeps better now.

Well its snowed here but not much and is starting again now but its not too heavy. Seems very fine stuff! I was starting to think how weird it was that the middle part of the country was totally fine and the rest was is in chaos lol.

Has anyone else started to get the feeling that their little one is gonna come anytime now?!? I have! So much so that I felt I needed to do some topiary in the lady garden last night and O MY GOODNESS what a chore that was. I couldn't see under the bump in the bath, couldn't hold it up a little out of the way (lol that has been the method that worked mostly up to now) and so i ended up looking in the mirror standing up to try and jall that just to give it all a trim! Its madness lol! I can still just about manage lower legs but even that is getting tricky now! I've even got so paranois my waters are gonna break that I've bought those maternity mats from boots and have already got one under the sheets hehehe. Just in case!!

Hope those of you having painful times get some comfort today, somehow. Even if its just with a nice cup of tea and a choccy biscuit on the sofa watching festive films hehe! I'm gonna make some coconut ice and peppermint creams today me thinks. Jack has a few jobs to do which i think involves one of my christmas presents hehehe! He has to pick it up from a shop in town! Exciting times!!!

What is everyone up to today?? xxxx

Hey hun dont worry I didnt get any milk until Caine was born and then I had to hand express colustrum to syringe to him. Withing a month or 2 I was exploding with it and producing like 10oz I think I am going to donate to special baby care this time if successful again

ipretti, my doc can only tell me baby's weight because he does a scan at every appointment but I pay a fortune at every appointment so you could go private for that extra info??? I haven't had any internal checks at all. I didn't have the strep b test or gtt test but when I asked my doc about them he said that he only offers them if he sees a reason (eg. I was overweight, had protein in urine, my family history and details from my prev pregnancy, etc) so perhaps your does the same?

Ladies, it's my turn to complain I was in so much pain yesterday. Mainly in my butt, lol, but seriously my coccyx(tailbone) felt bruised. I couldn't walk, lie down, roll over or anything. I also had pain to the front around my pubic bones but it wasn't as bad as the pain I had at the back. It's feeling a bit better now but I seem to get it at odd times during the day too Did anyone else experience this sort of pain? If this is what I'm in for for the next 12 days then I think baby can come now as I am 37 weeks today.

hope the pain eases up soon hun xx

My baby doesn't appear to be moving properly. She's been really active for days but I've been awake on and off since 6am till now and there's not been much string movement. I've been laid on my left side for 24 mins and only had about 5 small swishes and even those aren't definite. OH says 'you panic about anything, you do.' er.... MY BABY ISNT MOVING!!! It's hardly nothing!!!! What a ....
Any suggestions about what I can do to get her up and about? Had a couple of little prods while I've been typing so I know she's still alive, which is the main thing.

Smiffy, I've had one of those maternity sheet things underneath the sheet for weeks, just in case- upped it to two last night coz it's getting so close now and our mattress was expensive. Gonna go and buy a waterproof sheet from dunelm mill in a bit- if LO decides to stop giving me a panic attack and wake up.

She's back! I had a very small glass of cola coz another mum told me she'd been told to have a cold can of coke so the baby would move for her scan. LO now has hiccups. Never been so happy to get kicked in the ribs. Feeling quite tearful with happiness.

So glad to hear all is ok hun! And happy 38 weeks to me and you tomorrow

Little Mrs....glad baby is moving around for you now. Fizzy drinks are always the first thing i try to get my baby moving adn it seems to work quite well.

I was up in the middle of the night scratching again...so annoying. It was my arms again not my belly which was kinda a good thing. I dont wanna scratch my belly and make more stretch marks adn when my belly itches its crazy bad and wont stop. My arms still itch like crazy but im not worried about stretch marks there! LOL

LO and I are off to get hair cuts today and visit my SIL. A friend of hers is giving me some baby clothes so im pretty excited tosee them and get them washed up.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!!

Big sympathy from me, the itching is bloody awful xx

Hi ladies

My baby has been much quieter the past few days too. I don't like it but have put it down to this late stage of pregnancy. As for the lady garden I am still going for my waxes to maintain the forest!

Will have to give it some thought - thanks for the idea ladies. Hope everyone is As good as can be xxxx

I agree! I not been checked but I know at about 37 weeks last time i was 1cm...... I gave birth 4 hours after EDD.

My belly feels so sore today. I don't know why. My ceaser scar feels really tender too, maybe it's all the stretching!

Has anybody else got really soft stools?? Is it really a sign that labor is close? As I have been getting loads the last few days!

Really hope its not long for you now hun.
My pressure is soo bad I been 'going' lots too for about a week xx

Yikes! I haven't finished packing my bag..... plus my c-section is not for another 9 days (yes, the countdown is official!) I hope I can make it......

Updated my journal on scan etc but Bubs seems to be ok and est currently about 7pounds.

I been cleaning all afternoon and me and OH done the deed so am hoping for some labour action v soon!

 

[smiffy85]

Hooray for some action Jade hehehe! And thanks for the b/f support and advice!

Well I had a hairy moment in asda earlier. Really thought I was going into labour. We had been into town and to the cinema then I had a wander round on my own for an hour whilst OH picked up his last few gifts for me (yay) and then we called in at asda on the way home. I was feeling very uncomfortable from the walk round town and then I started to feel a bit 'odd'. Felt a bit sick and then had some pain in the bump area which made me want to break wind a lot lol. I think I may have killed some people in the supermarket girls it was so bad. Got to the till with OH and mentioned I was having some pains and he got all excited bless him. Had 3 contractions- i think - in about 15 mins and they lasted about 30 secs each. But then got home and did a massive **TMI** poo and felt ok again lol! Naomi mine have been soft for the past few days so am wondering if this is starting to go somewhere. Had a bath too to ease the pain of my ribs and sore bump. Its getting so heavy now!!

OH actually asked me if he should put the hospital bag in the car tonight just in case. Hes so excited and convinced the baby is coming lol! I really would like him to stay there til after xmas day tho!!

Anyone else feeling anything this evening?? xxx

 

[smiffy85]

O meant to say I texted faff and she is now at home. LO is doing ok but this was a day or 2 ago - sorry I meant to put it on straight away but totally forgot lol!

Naomi can you update faff on the front page for when she next comes on hun. He baby is called Maddy, born on the 11th dec xxxxx

 

[jms895]

Oooh Smiffy! Might be soon then

I got to admit these were like mine the other day and like major gut rot or something then they would go. Maybe pressure on the bowels or maybe bowels starting the clear out labour process

 

[Mom 2B]

Well ladies i just got up from a vary late nap and the PUPPS has spread again!!! Its now on my belly, arms and my hips and back. And now im out of benadryl. Only bought it 2 days ago. This is going to be an expensive 4 weeks if I go through a bottle in 2 days. Sure it was only like $8 but for the next 4 weeks that will be an added $100 plus the calamine lotion at $3 a bottle which i have probably used half of by now....OMG!!!!
