July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[maybethistime]

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.

how long is he home for hun? dam i moan when me man does an eight hour shift and is home late cos his tea is cooked I dont no how u do it xx

He only gets 2 weeks, then I won't see him for months again. He's missed a lot, and going to miss more. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that he won't miss the birth of his kid, at least.

Hopefully, my cervix will have started ripening by 39 weeks. That would mean they could induce if the kid doesn't come by due date. I would hope I would start labor naturally, but in this circumstance this kid isn't allowed to be too late.

G - I think that we do get used to the braxton hicks. When I was on the monitor today, they showed me my contractions on the printout, and I hadn't even felt some of them. I think this is especially true if we're busy and rushing around.

Doesn't induction work (the drugs etc.) if things haven't already started on their own? I was wondering about this the other day.

aww fingers crossed, if anyone comes early I hope its u hun xx

I was told they wouldn't do it unless the cervix had already started ripening/was ripe enough. I guess drugs can help it to start ripening, but you're better off if it's already begun on its own. My guess is that there would be less of a chance that it would end up becoming a c-section.

aww I suppose I better finish me ironing lo, and get her clothes away and start on the next batch lol, have fun everyone x

Hi ladies,

Yay shelley - glad everything went okay at scan!!

I had midwife this morning and had to send off a sample of urine as the one I did this morning had traces of Leucocytes(sp?), protein and glucose!! this is the 3rd time I have had this so I have to have the extra tests!!

Apart from that I am only measuring 1 week ahead whe I have been constantly measuring 2 weeks ahead all pregnancy, I would class that as a good sign of a normal size baby until she said he was curled up into a little ball like a hedgehog so that would alter the measurement!! UNLUCKY!!

everything seems to be good tho, BH's are just as bad but I think I seem to be getting used to them and pressure down below seems to be better!!
I have more energy just lately too, dont know where it has come from and I dont suppose it will last but I am enjoying it whilst I can!!

Well only 1 week today until I finish work and I have just found out they will be letting me keep my company mobile whilst on Mat leave!! Excellent news, so will still have my freebie phone! Yay!!

So all in all I am in a pretty good mood!! All I need now is my LO!!!

Sarah -- I think G is right, my doc told me the same thing. If you get induced when your cervix is still closed and hard, it won't matter. You'll just have lots of painful contraction but no progress on the dialation front. Bad combo.

Shell - when you get a moment -- can you update the front page? I scheduled my c-section for July 20th at 39 weeks. I still have hope that Otter will come early and I may be able to go natural then. But if he doesn't, then he will be here on the 20th!

 

[maybethistime]

Gem Hope those tests are nothing to worrie about, Ive been ironing all day i put the board at its lowest level and sat down, but my back is killing me, im still sorting out all her clothes, I have put the pink things in the wash then Im gonna stick em on radiators theres bloody loads I didnt realise lol, I have packed my hospital bag an unpacked it so many time i have no idea why lol,

TL yay for 20th

Gem one week left , Im sure the tests will be ok

hope all else is ok, any update on LP ??

taking the wee man to a b'day party, talk soon x

 

[godivalocks]

No, I do not have any urge to clean, no nesting for me. But, I have been cleaning half the day just to make a dent in this never-ending mess. Company coming will do that for you, and I'm trying to get a head start on it. Trouble is going to be keeping it clean, once I get it clean (almost there, probably get it in a few more weeks).

As tired as I am, what would once take me half a day-a day to do, now seems like moving a mountain.

 

[wishingonastar]

Yeah we get the keys to our house in 2 weeks... am trying not to think about the cost!!!

Am so sore now... the bambino is still breech and he is so low down! I feel like I am about to burst and I know that it is only going to get worse Still, every day is a day closer to meeting my little man! xxx

 

[Twiglet]

We got our keys thursday and we're moving in Friday...am already bored of moving and tidying up the new and old house!! Why did we decide to do this to ourselves ladies?

 

[whitelilly]

We still haven't sold our flat (although it's only been on market for a week) but I am panicking about paying 2 mortgages!!!! PLEASE PLEASE cross all your fingers for us that we sell it! xxx

 

[maybethistime]

right Im trying to be a good girl and do my work lol, We finally mad up with the in laws had a very strange way of saying the words sorry as in deflecting the blame on 2 us but I suppose thats just them and they are still getting our pram which is great im just glad its all over i mean I no it really upset my Dh that they werent talking but saying that he knew they were wrong. Great thing is they now no he is willing to stand up for his misses if need be. U could tell they where really happy 2 see us which was nice n 2 be honest Id missed them as well lol.

So i need to do me work as me FIL is going to be painting our kitchin a week today he is tryin to use the left overs from thier house turkish delight and blue but I have have already got the paint its like a dewberry colour I keep saying I dont want it but he wont listen, plus me fella has done the hall a gourgous colour and he wants to paint it again fingers crossed I can stop him, i know he means well and he wants to help but this is my home surely I should be able to say what colour should go on the wall.

Been quite lucky cos we live in a 2 beded flat it only cost us 90 pound to get the paint and wall paper, we went to glynn web adn they had some really nice discontiuned lines crown paint for 4.99 so we used those. even the kitchin and bathroom paint was 4.99 reduced from 16.99

I had an awful night last night had fluid on my chest that kept trying to come up was getting up every hour felt so bad for me Dh as he had 2 get up at 6 and he was trying look after me but u could tell he was getting angry he said he as sorry this morning he was just tired but I dont blame him
right thats enough of my novel if u read this far well done haha hope u all had/have a good day :mwah:

 

[Sarah+]

Glad you made up with the inlaws I completely agree - paint colour selection is a female thing. Putting it on the walls is for the men! I think the hubbies are getting used to being woken up during the night. If it's not the bathroom, it's leg cramps or insomnia.... oh, the joys....!
