Morning ladies. Slept a tiny bit longer today- from 11pm until 6:10am. Also managed to doze and not get out of bed till 7 yay. OH was awake too so didn't feel too lonely like yesterday morning!!

Went to see harry potter yesterday with a friend from uni. I quite enjoyed it which hasn't happened with the films before as I tend to sit there saying thats not in the book etc etc lol! But this one was ok and mostly true to the book I thought. My little fella insisted on wiggling around lots tho although that could have been the amount of opal fruits I stuffed in my face lol He keeps stretching up towards my ribs now and it just feels like my lungs are shrinking!!!

Off to the in laws for sunday dinner today and then to our second antenatal class tonight which is apparently about birth positions?!? Anyone already thought which position they might like to try out??!

xxxxx

LittleMrs - dont worry, my bump has dropped too and it doesn't seem to have moved anything on any further. Just means I now wee all the time!

Is it weird of me to be very excited over the fact my nipples leaked a bit this morning! I even rang OH to tell him!

I would've been excited too. I haven't had that yet

Just noticed you're in Derbyshire, whereabouts are you? We moved up from there earlier this year...

We're in Chesterfield. Whereabouts are you from?

I am in Warsop xx

Good morning girlies. Managed to get a bit more sleep last night but being the neurotic pregnant woman I am this has made me panic that I'm not feeling enough movements!! Think baby is just having a quiet morning but I have felt a few little wriggles so not in a blind panic just yet. I've also noticed my knickers are a bit wet this morning but that could just be because of baby sitting on my bladder.

The posts about Call of Duty made me laugh. It is Black Ops that OH has just got too. With the other CoD ones he has literally played them non stop until he's finished them each time. I just don't understand how anyone can do the same thing for so long! Fortunately we don't have the XBox Live thingy so he can't play online or I don't think he'd ever be off it.

Well I better go get some housework done. OH is back from work about 4 so keep your fingers crossed he might do the cot later. I'm not holding my breath though!!

We looked at a house in Church Warsop last year! We were going to move over that way and looked at loads over there but never quite found what we wanted.

 

[jms895]

So we had a shocking night, Caine coughing, phone call at 1am Andy grandad died

And I thought I was in labour pains every 5 mins for about 3 hours bad enough to keep me awake but not painful enough for me to go hospital, figured it must have been really bad hicks, it was horrible. Am so knackered!

 

[LittleMrs]

Yay. That's pretty close isn't it? But I get confused between warsop and Worksop.

Smiffy, it'll be interesting to find out about birth positions but I figured I probably wouldn't be able to decide until I was actually in labour and could feel what felt most natural.

 

[emilyp83]

I was really disappointed with the NHS antenatal physio class which I thought was going to give me some birth positions. I didn't really learn anything at all, she just said we should be doing some exercises to keep pelvic floor and abs strong (bit late for some of the ladies who were already 35+ weeks) and then said a little bit about massage. Not really anything about birthing positions.

For the last couple of days though when I get pains I tend to lie over my gym ball and sort of rock it either backwards and forwards or side to side and that seems to ease the pains a bit and I think its a good position for birthing as well because the pelvis is quite open.

 

[sar35]

JMS i was the same, tightnings every 3mins (like last time) for about 3hours, wasnt sure what to do, now it feels like ive been punched in the stomach and winded! Does that mean baby has changed position? Oh and the palpatations too!

 

[LittleMrs]

I was woken up by major pains twice in the night. In the end though (TMI alert) it was really badly trapped gas. lol.

 

[Mom 2B]

Ok so today I am officaially 30 weeks. I kinda freaked out a little. For some reason I thought i was only turning 29 weeks!!!!! This now means I have 8 weeks til baby is here. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! And I still have not talked to OH about the name issue. But I swear today is the day. SIL is coming over and said she would help me bring it up as for some reason Im too chicken. I know its going to hurt his feelings but I really just dont like the name he has picked. I actually sat last night waiting for him to come home from a friends house planning exactly how I was giong to bring it up.....but of course i chickened out yet again. I even cried for a bit because i just couldn't bring myself to say anything. Sure hope today goes well.
Hope all you ladies are having a wonderful day!!!!!

 

[lovealittle1]

Hi ladies hope everyone is doing well.

As for birth positions I like the idea of delivering on all fours if I can avoid an epi that is.

Has anyone heard fr angelblue and how her and the twins are doing?

Been having loads of pressure down low this week-end - hope that means is settling in nicely to heads down!

33 weeks for me tomorrow!

 

[emilyp83]

Woohoo! My lovely mum and dad have come over and put the cot together for me! Only slight problem is it seems to have been cut wrongly and the base is wonky so I'll have to call them tomorrow. Not really what I was expecting from mamas and papas I have to say

 

[Jolene]

Jms, sorry about the death in your family How scary to think those contractions could have actually been the real deal. Soon that is what we're going to be talking about on this thread. One after the other going into labour As long as it's not me, baby mustn't think she's coming before my caesar date!!!!

Emily, hope you get your cot sorted out soon

My LO has really been on the go today which I've really enjoyed experiencing. She seems to be all over the place, she's going to be an olympic swimmer by the time she comes outta there, lol.

 

[millward329]

Hi Emily, the little wriggles and wetness seems very similar to what happened to me last weeks and it all turned out fine. I put it down to the fact that he had really tucked himself into my pelvis and definately on the bladder!

JMS sorry to hear your sad news and that you've been in pain Not had any BH myself - just very mild crampy twinges

About birth positions I think I'll be signing up to the whatever works the best philosophy. Going to do something a bit random now...try to play my euphonium with a 32 week bump. Yay BoBeccy we made it to 32 weeks! Wonder what the little man will make of the vibrations of a hulking great brass instrument playing carols to him?

 

[LittleMrs]

Ok, I'm dumb, what's an euphonium?

 

[millward329]

like a tuba : )

 

[smiffy85]

jms! Hope your ok and the family are coping ok with grandad passing away.

I'm originally from worksop!! Can't remember who mentioned it now lol!

Had a lovely dinner with OH's family and now having 5 mins before heading out to antenatal class. Beats waiting round on a sunday night for monday morning to come lol! Just pumped up my gym ball too so had a little bounce. Its not as big as the one I borrowed from antenatal class but will do the job!

Not a good day for me. had a contraction in the shower this morning and ever since have had a really painful tight bump which doesn't seem to be shifting whatever I do! I'm not sure if baby is being pushed down in my pelvis as it feels very sore down below as well. I hope it eases tomorrow.

I went to see my parents this afternoon and was a bit annoyed actually as the first thing they said was my goodness you are huge! Get the camera! It made me feel like some kind of freak show.
