July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[Twiglet]

Ouch!! I crossed my legs firmly at that weight. Fingers crossed both your growth scans go well ladies and you can have the natural births you want !

 

[elley_baby248]

Whats bugging me aswell is that my grandad was 13lb 12oz!

OMG!!!!

I am with you, I don't want a section either, but will do what is necessary to make sure both Otter and I are safe. Here's hoping both our upcoming scans show promise!

Scary thought a baby that weighs almost a stone isn't it! But then again if he was born naturally 67years ago just shows what we should be able to do now without having to have a section.

Fingers crossed for us both

[wishingonastar]

that's true...if your grandad was born naturally at that weight all those years ago, why on earth in this 'modern fantastic technological age' do they panic if a baby's a little heavier than average????

LMAO... Oh my god I cant stop eating. After posting on here today about scoffing ym face I brought a big cherry sponge from Firkins and ate that. An hour later, feeling little hungry, I went to the vending machine and got me a bag of mini cookies and a crunchie and proceeded to eat them both this afternoon at work.

I feel sick and fat now. I swear my chin had doubled in size today!

I have decided though, the last few weeks baby gains fat, and we gain fat stores for BF etc.. so its our bodies natural way of stocking up -

BRING ON THE SUGAR, SUGAR!!!!

Hope you're eating lots of sweeties too SJK. Sending you lots of

TTFN all xxx

 

[Elliebank]

Hi Ladies

SJK

I wouldn't be to worried about breech yet Whitelilly as there still is time. Don't let them try to manually 're-position' the baby! Apparently it hurts and causes stretch-marks and then it's quite common for the baby just to turn back breech anyway.... and if they're left alone, they often just correct position on their own.

Congrats on finishing uni Twiglet

Hopefully having your step-daughter with her mum for a while might give you some breathing space Gem. This isn't a time you want extra stress!

No talk of sugar Shelley! I am on a sugar ban .....

Had an 'interesting' visit to the Ob-Gyn last night. The bub is fine, but I'm joining Elley and Tiger is the 'big baby club'. He is 6.1 lbs, measuring 3 1/2 weeks ahead. It's the head and tummy that are large. The dr said that I'm not to eat less, but to cut out as much sugar as I can, as our little guy is chubby! He said he thinks I'll be fine to deliver.... but he'll wait to see if the head starts to engage, and if it doesn't, that's a sign a section in needed. Now here's the HORRIBLE part..... we're living in Asia at the moment, and swine flu is a big conern here, and the private hospitals have started banning husbands from operating rooms! I can just picture the tantrum they're going to get from me if they try that one!! (Some of the public hospitals have started banning husbands from the delivery rooms too!!). It's a complete overreaction, but a bit of a worry. Okay, winge over!

Have a great day everyone. Big thunderstorms here!

 

[maybethistime]

TBH i think that most of the time they look for the quickest and easiest way to deliver a baby not necessarily the best.

 

[Twiglet]

I'm meant to ban sugar too Sarah but I haven't! I can't manage it...I did saturday without it and by the end of the day I was white and felt crap (have low sugar levels in my blood anyway) so I started on it again naughtynaughty

Yay go you MB!

 

[geogem]

Hi ladies,

I have been the same with the sugar cravings!! cant stop shovelling stuff in my face!!

On another note BH's are back with a vengeance!! Seem to be a little painful now tho in my hoo haa area!! (just across my pubic area) and also getting lots of pressure in my underneath and bottom!! Could this be a sign he has dropped a little??

I sooooooo cant wait to finish work next week - getting bored of it now and it really is draining me!! Only 7 working days left tho!! Yay!!

ooohhh hear comes another BH!!

ttfn!!

 

[elley_baby248]

Dya know what i don't think i have had any BH's that or i don't actually know what they feel like?! I keep getting a pain in my downstairs which kills!

Gem i have been getting loads of pressure down there as well lately especially yesterday

 

[TigerLady]

I haven't had BH yet, either, Elley. I am told you will absolutely know when you get them. That your entire bump goes rock solid hard! I asked my OB about it at my last appt and he said don't expect them until about 34 weeks.
