I know what you mean. It will be so nice to have my body back to normal with no more aches and pains but, will really miss having bubs wriggling around, especially as this will be my last pregnancy. :( Or will it?? haha xx

thats what i said 15 years ago lol:dohh:
 
finally officially joining you all in 3rd tri today!! eeek!! How can this be dragging so much and speeding by all at the same time!?

Before we know it we will be posting birth announcements... how mad. We are ACTUALLY GOING TO HAVE BABIES!?!!!
 
lol - know exactly what you mean beccybobeccy. I find myself alternately thinking it's going too fast and dragging by. This morning it's dragging - my backside hurts for some reason, I've discovered that picking things up from the floor is nigh on impossible and OH is laughing his head off as I repeatedly try.
 
Is anyone finding it hard to sleep I woke up three times last night I'm exhausted
 
I am - I have eczema and I itch all over my thighs as soon as I get in bed but only at bedtime, great.

Just wanted to share, if you go onto hippbabies.co.uk then you can download a birthplan and a hospital bag/home list. Very useful. Should be able to access even if you aren't in the uk. I know smiffy mentioned their birth plan a while back but thought I'd share anyway, just in case anyone missed it.

I'm being a bit overzealous with the getting ready but better safe than sorry, right? Anyone else getting packed etc, just so they don't forget/just in case/any other reason?
 
I am struggling to sleep too abstersmum as I just can't get in a comfortable position. Also my bladder needs to be emptied at 4:00 in the morning EVERY morning!! :(

Thanks for that link littlemrs that is a really good list. :) I have most of mine packed "just in case" and just because I like to be organised. I need to pack baby's bag still though.
 
im falling into a pattern of waking between 2-4am for about an hour at a time, just not sleeping or leg aching and disturbing oh. I leave work next week so it wont be so much of a problem as I can catch up when everyone else is at work/school.

My labour was very quick 5 hours from waters going to baby being delivered. I caused an argument in the delivery room between the midwife and dr. Will never forget it, the midwife was adamant that the dr examine me as she could see i was ready to push and the dr turned round and said I only checked her 30 minutes ago and she was 6-7cm. She gave in and checked me and I was fully dilated and ready to push. 3 pushes later and my daughter bounced down the bed. Thank god I had a good midwife that listened to me.

:rofl: me too! I know it hurt at the time but seem to forget :haha:

I stayed at home till 6/7 cms dilated too and then gas and air is fab, tho OH kept stealing it off me :dohh:

I am just dreading a quick labour this time as last time was 12 hours from waters dripping to baby out! I went from 4cm to 10cm in a couple of hours :shock:

That's one reason I want to have my baby at home this time around. I only went into hospital when my waters broke and I was 9cm dilated! If my waters hadn't broken, I'd probably not have gone in at all. By the time I was there, I was only allowed to have gas and air for a short time (and it wasn't THAT bad). My waters broke at 6pm, and I'd had him at 8.37pm.

Yeah, I agree with you all - good pain. At least, that's what I've read. I'm almost looking forward to it, to be honest, although I'm having trouble seeing me with a baby. So there's a new problem - I'm not too worried about labour - every pregnant lady does it (although some have told me they were sick during labour and I don't relish that thought), but I can't imagine after that. Actually having the baby there - I'm a bit scared I won't feel what I should do. Am I being nuts?

JMS - you may have a valid concern, when my mum had me I think her labour was about 12 hrs. With my sisters they were much much shorter - less than half again each time. Less labour before baby though, which can only be a good thing, right?

Yes prob better in one way but more intense v quickly I am told!

Yeah, she didnt want to hang around lol. She was 4 days late and ended up being induced as I was having complications. 1 lot of gel, artificial rupture of membranes and the drip later, and she had had enough. Couldnt wait to get out bless her. They ended up turning the drip off as i was contracting to often and dilating very quickly.

JMS - You know a friend of mine. Gwizz/Gemma :) the little girl in her recent photos on facebook are my little girl :D
 
Hope everyone has had a nice relaxing weekend.

It was my little girls 1st birthday yesterday so we went to Blue planet aquarium with friends of ours and their little boy.

Naomicourt - hope your little girl had a fantastic birthday yesterday as well.
 
That hipp birth plan is really good! It helps you to think of stuff I prob wouldn't have thought of writing down like OH cutting the cord - i thought that was a given! Thanks for the mention LittleMrs!

I've been having lots of bump pain today. Nothing major I don't think I just think bean is moving alot and it's getting a bit squished in there already! Goodness knows how we're gonna get on for the next 11 weeks lol. I am also up at least once in the night for the loo and then as soon as I move, the baby comes alive and starts kicking me when I try to get comfy again the little monkey. I don't mind so much at wknds but I've still got 6 weeks of work left yet! Altho this morning I was wide awake at half 7 ON A SUNDAY lol. Spose I best get used to it hey hehehe!

Oh Sar35 I pinched your idea for a mat leave countdown. Gives me something to focus on lol whenever I come on here. Hope you don't mind hun.

Does anyone know of any books/dvds/anything that I can buy to help prepare me for birth. I want a natural birth so I'm thinking that, as a bare minimum, I should be looking into yoga and breathing techniques etc. But I just can't find anything that's specific, or I'm not sure if what is there is any good. I'm going to start a thread on the 3rd trimester forum too, but my first port of call is always you ladies.
 
Can I be added to list please:) I am due Jan 19 and I am expecting a little girl:).
