July 2009 buddies wanted!!

lmao Sarah - bless you!

How scary is it? Not long to go now for us girls. For me its still not real untill lo is here safe and sound - and Im not getting any sleep and Im moaning to you girls about how crap i feel! lol

Sarah - Hot curries and pineapple for starting things off - yes. The consultant was an Indian lady, and she sounded like she knew what she was talking about! haha.. Apparently there is an enzyme in pineapple that can start things going, and curries are meant to get your insides moving along quickly, which can sometimes kick start things. Who knows. The way I feel today I wish she'd pop out now. Im so uncomfy and achy. Seems like everytime I stand up she drops down and lands on a nerve. It makes me feel like Im going to wee myself and it really hurts

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. For those of you who have not been lucky - yet...

Piles will soon be on the way. The dreaded hemordoids (Sp?) I went to the loo yesterday (number 1 too!) I checked the tissue (as ever incase of plug etc..) and there was bright red blood. At first I thought I was bleeding and I was going to die - as you do... But then after about 200 wipes, released it must be from the back end - sorry if TMI but I literally bled all day everytime I went to the toilet - which is a lot.

I just wanted to warn you girls, because Ive had no pain, no lumps or bumps appear, and it is very alarming. I only know from having DS that a lot of PG women get them. Fingers crossed for you all!!! Im hoping to god this clears up before labour. Can you imagine bleeding everywhere? As if a labouring women doesnt have enough to be paranoid about!!!!lol

 

[godivalocks]

Yes, it's getting scary close. So much to do, so little time (or motivation) to do it.

 

[godivalocks]

Oh, and is anyone else feeling kinda sickly. Last night I felt like I wanted to throw up. Night before, too, etc. I'm thinking it might have something to do with hormones.

 

[Sarah+]

Yeah, I do. I put it down to feeling so squashed up inside, that my stomach is being crammed up too high.

 

[Twiglet]

A lot of us seem to be carrying whoopers by scans...I cant wait to see if the weights they've predicted are true! I've done rubbish on the sugar reduction side so well done Sarah on actually managing it!!

Am gonna get started on the pineapple and curries this weekend I think...especially as now they're unsure of my dates again...seriously how many times can they be unsure?!

Piles...I noticed I had them saturday was very upset about them and made Liam go get me some anusol...and then today found stretchmarks on my breasts! Nowhere else as of yet...but my breasts haven't even gone up that much whereas my belly has! Odd.

I wake up and go to bed feeling ill now Godiva sad times...I just keep reminding myself...6 weeks (well who knows now?! I sure dont haha)

 

[godivalocks]

Up until recently, I haven't had any heartburn. Now it's like it's all day every day. I think the kid is just too dang big. Don't tell me I'm going to have heartburn for the next 3+ weeks!

 

[SJK]

Hi girls xx

glad all ok at the scan shelley, good luck with your exam today xx

I cant believe we're nearly there, I picked up the moses basket on wed and its gorgeous, will post a pic later

Ive heard of the pinapple, maybe start trying stuff next week xx

 

[wishingonastar]

yeah i'm gonna go on the pineapple as of 21st june as thats day before maternity leave kicks in (i'd rather bubs doesn't arrive til then else maternity leave starts early and i lose the annual leave i'm currently on!)
be warned...you have to eat quite a lot (the equivalent of like two pineapples) for it to have an effect and i know from experience that just eating one whole pineapple gave me horrendous stomach pains and i literally took my bum for a wee sorry tmi!!!

 

[whitelilly]

hi girls.... just a quick post as off to uni (finish uni and work next thursday yipppeee) but I heard that getting a pedicure/ foot massage can stimulate labour too xxx

Don't worry...I don't have it, either. The only motivation I have is that I'm supposed to have a lot of family coming in, and so for the next few weeks I'm going to be slowly tackling what needs to be done. I'd much rather not, at this point.

If it weren't for that, my house would be a pig sty right now. I'm just too weary most of the time, and a lot of things are hurting.
