July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[shelleylu]

Maybe - I have done a little load of LO's clothes today. Just kit for the hospital incase we have to dash off there. The cats killed a bird earlier though and clothes have been on the washing line with bird remains lying around the garden....nice...!!

OMG I also got the most gorgeous dresses today from Boots. Molly and Jack range - seriously, you need to get up there and spend!

 

[maybethistime]

Cheers for the heads up hun, to be honest I think thats one of me worries I hve no idea how me Dh is gonna be in there, he gets really up set when I am in pain so god know how he will get through labour, maybe he will suprise me FX

 

[maybethistime]

Oh i didnt no they did clothes to be honest, Dh found out he was getting a bonus this month so Ill be spending when he gets paid dont u worrie haha. He phoned up working tax credit people and we will get 93 pound a week (ctc and wtc) I really hope they have it right cos they messed me sisters up and both of them have to pay them back. Rather not have the hastle but 2 be honest we need it we have so many out going its unreal.

I was paniking a little but Ive started to relax a bit more about money and let the chips fall where they may if u get me im sure we will get through it

 

[shelleylu]

Ah Im sure he'll be fine! You need to worry about yourself, not him! HAve you thought about having someone else there? Sister or mom or someone? I suggest having two people on hand just in case.. I was on my back for 30 hours cause of monitoring, and my family took it in turns to come and hold my hand!

I am hoping things will be easier this time. I know now from NCT class that moving is so important, and stay at home as long as possible. I a little bit excited TBH. A sick part of me wants to see labour can be a good thing - especially now I feel more in control now I have more information. These July babies are gonna fly out of us - you watch

 

[shelleylu]

That sounds about right. I get about that now, and Im hoping its ging to rise. They go on last years earnings, and as OH has been self emp and not earning loads we'll get more. FX!

Im off to watch the first BB. See the freaks in action!

Mum works in a school in herts and cant take the time off so she said yesterday she will come down when baby is born, me sisters like in herts as well. I asked me dad and he said he dont wanna step on merv toes being in there. The one thing I worrie bout is merv works in addlinton which takes bout an hour to get back using public transport so Im a little worried im gona be by my self when it all starts opps.

Thanks, Shelly! I appreciate that input. It is reassuring when I hear ladies that would totally go with the section if they had a big baby. Makes me feel like less of a wuss for considering it!

And here I am thinking I'm a wuss for wanting to avoid one .

 

[godivalocks]

SJK--I had maybe one day of swelling (not as bad as most I've seen posted on this site) and my feet burned, but I had been on my feet a lot over subsequent days at that point. That was the only swelling I got. I drink a lot of water, though, and am usually not on my feet a whole lot.

I'm at the point that it doesn't take long on my feet to make them hurt.

Wow, Godivalocks! Last box. You must be our first due (of the people who reguarly pop into this thread).

Thanks for the kind offer Shelley I think I found a site that will deliver but I'm determined to have another look around HK. We have a M & S, so I'll give them another go too.


Anyone had any bleeding? I had some pink/brown (just a little) before bed last night, and the same again this morning. Have a back ache that feels like I have my period too. I assume this is pretty common?

Have a great day!

Yeah, but that doesn't mean I'll be the first to go. Less than a handful of weeks left. I still have yet to tackle the house (cleaning), and company will be coming.

As far as the bleeding/spotting, I haven't had any, yet. I've had a couple back aches, but they've been far between.

 

[Elliebank]

Shelley I'm glad everything was ok with the scan & thanks for the advice on labour

Maybe I got OH to get me some French Francies yesterday, all yr talk about them made me want some!!

Sarah I haven't had any blood but I read in my pregnancy book that it's common for yr discharge to turn to pink towards the end as yr cervix is softening in preparation for the birth

 

[maybethistime]

EB: HAHAHA I have some in my kitchin I had one box yesterday yes the whole 8 and im really trying my hardest not to eat them.

Sarah+ I think u should get checked out 2 be on the safe side although it might just be ur plug begining to come away but id get checked out x

Im on my last box 2 day so excited anywhoo as I bring my self back 2 earth, my friend has just said she will come if i go in 2 labour by my self she is a star really Ive been brickin it for ages and she just said she would yay im happy now lol

 

[Sarah+]

Hi All,

Ended up ringing dr and he finally called back about 5hrs later. Told him about the spotting, back ache and that I'd had a little less movement than usual, so he sent me to the hospital to go on the monitor.

Of course, by the time I got there, the spotting had stopped... and the little guy started kicking like there was no tomorrow the minute they started the monitor. Felt silly but a restful afternoon lying in hospital. Relieved all is fine. Better safe than sorry.

 

[maybethistime]

yep yep thats wat I thought hun, glad everything is ok with u xx me id check out everytime, seeing as u left out lo was not as active in ur last post x

 

[Sarah+]

Hadn't really occured to me at that stage (when I posted) that he was less active! 5hrs later when the dr got around to returning his calls, I realised I hadn't been feeling that much. Feel a lot better now

And congrats on last box!!!

 

[Elliebank]

Glad everything's ok Sarah

 

[maybethistime]

Hehe, its ok hun, I just glad everything is ok my moto is "if in dought get checked out" but saying that if it was me Id prob be humming and arring going oh I dont want to waste anyones time lol sods law that aint it lol,

Yep! Sometimes I wake up with ones so strong and tight (and busting for the loo) that I wonder if I'll be able to make it without having an accident as I have to move so carefully It's amazing how well breathing works. (Does scare me that if we need to use breathing on these 'practice contractions'.... what are we going to use on the real ones!)

 

[godivalocks]

Either I haven't had many recently or I stopped feeling BHs. On the other hand, I have to get up to go multiple times day or night.

It makes me wonder whether I'm going to go overdue . I just hope my body starts readying itself, because OH is only going to be here so long.

 

[maybethistime]

god dont its really scaring me thinking about that, I started to think about it even more yesterday cos they where hurting that much, esp when they where coming through my back as well lol, I was like oh lord dont start and was trying my best to get back 2 sleep then up every 2 hours for the loo lol, put me in great stead when the little one arrives lol
