Wow, I have been unbelievably tired today. I've slept a good portion of the day away, and now I'm worried I won't sleep tonight.
 
You must bee 'full term' tomorrow G? Congrats :) I heard the nesting thing was a once you're actually in labour thing?


No more work Gem! :happydance:

I had rather strong BH all day yesterday. DH are I had theatre tix for the night, and still went but at one stage I was seriously worried I was going to have the little guy at intermission :rofl:

How do you tell the difference between strong and quite painful BH and proper contractions? Is it just that the proper ones don't stop coming? I feel fine today.

I guess, technically. I think I will go all the way to my due date (unless they induce for OH reasons) or after, though.

As far as the difference, I don't know. Everyone says you'll kno. But all the literature says it's more to do with the timing. *shrug*
 
Hey girls,

Well another long wknd is here. You're right G, they are long days! Good job really, we've so much to do right now. We spent all day yesterday buying and building bedrrom furniture - ours - not LO's! OH was meant to be finishing room, but we went shopping in the morning and came across a massive bargain. In Next they had gorgeous oak bedrrom set. 2 sets of draws and bedside untis. Original cost was £600 and we got the lot for £140! Took all day to set up though and change room around etc... I was in sooooo much pain last night and I didnt do any revising! :(

Sarah - the differnce between BH and contractions is very significant!!!! I guess you'll only know when the time comes, but trust me, you'll know.

Labour doesnt usually just start off with bad contractions. I remember with DS feeling ill all day with really bad tummy ache. Felt like I had bad case of trapped wind. I sat on the sofa all day feeling sick with a bad head. It wasnt till 11pm that these tummy pains felll into regular pattern. I'd been in labour all day, i just didnt release it! Come 11pm when it started properly, I knew straight away. I have terrible BH now. Days like yesterday when Im up and about, I have a pretty much constant hard bump and it hurts, but its differnt to contractions. It sounds a bit condesending, sorry - I dont mean it to be - but you will know when the real thing happens.

As for today. Physics, chemistry and the indoors. Hayfever is so bad I cant even sit in the garden today :(

Hope everyone is alrght though :)
 
blooming ehck shell that is good, I just got those double canvaus ones for both our rooms was not feeling to spend loads on the rest..

FULL Term 2mo whop whop
 
OMG ladies, its soooo scary to hear you all saying "full term!"

Well, everything is fine in this camp - had a lovely BBQ yesterday and invited some family and friends and it was lovely, although I think I got eaten on my boobs by a giant bug - I have a huge lump!! It was a bit crap watching everyone else drinking their nice cold beers whilst I was on water but hey I'll live for another couple of weeks!!

Although we got loads of compliments on the food as all salad, potatoes, onions etc were homegrown from our allotment!! becoming proper jamie olivers!!
I even have a massive strawberry patch and thought about giving them for dessert but ha ha nah - me to selfish and decided to sit and eat a load to myself!!

well everything is good - feeling quite healthy at the mo, think finishing work has had a great pshycological effect!!

chat later ladies!!

ttfn!!
 
I was reading through your earlier posts, you posted that you had needed growth scans due to blood around cord insertion? was this called a subamniotic haematoma? I have just been told I have one nad am trying tofind out more about it - did you have any bleeding with it?

Try a nice, fresh brewed ICED tea. Beats a cold beer any day, imo. Then again, I think beer tastes nasty (as well as other alcoholic beverages). Blagh! :rofl:

And all that talk about home grown veggies...mmmmm, nothing like it. I wasn't able to put anything in until late, and even still, I don't have a proper garden, so it will be a while before I get anything out of what I planted.
 
Well im am fully baked lol come out baby girl out ya come lol, well had a midwife appoinment 2day and she is engaged whop de whop midwide dont reckon ill go full term as she is measuring spot on for wat she needs to be, she went its been a pleasure dealing with me nice and stright forward lol, I went hey ill see u in 2 weeks and she went we will see haha, fingers crossed lol Im going for the 24th or any wednesday im not sure why I just have a feeling hahah lets see if I am right
 
Wow, MB, that would be nice if she were right!

I'm measuring right on time, too, but they were still scheduling me appts. for AFTER my due date. They better not make me go that long, considering the circumstances!

I do want to hold off until he's here, though. And I want at least one day where we can go out and have dinner together and see a movie and have one last couple date.
 
I know wat u mean G, I couldnt believe it when she said it I want her 2 wait at least till fri cos I am skint lol, I have nappies etc but we want to go watch a film on friday and have a meal out being just "us". I bet as she said that i will go over due :rofl:
 
Hi ladies,

congrats on 37 wks maybe!

Well my first official day off work today and I've loved it - hubby is off until Friday too so will be spending some time together this week!!

Well that is if I can get off the toilet!! I have had really bad belly today and this morning I didnt think I'd make it to the loo!! I know some people say that before you go into labour you have a clearout but I hope this isnt it!! I have 3 weeks of annual leave to take first and then he can come!! then my mat leave wont have to start early!!
 
aww bless u gem, I have not had a "clear out" so 2 speak but I have been consitpated, which is shit as I have not had any problems in that department until now lol oh well not long left... im staving lol must go hunt for food lol
 
Gem i woke up exactly the same today which was weird. Been to the midwife this afternoon and he is engaged which was the best thing ever! I had noticed that over the past few days he has dropped an awful lot along with loads of pressure made me think he could of before she said but he is still back to back. I've come out of there smiling for the 1st time ever and the midwife i seen (mine must be on labour ward duties again) was absolutey lovely i wouldn't mind seeing her again tbh.

Got my growth scan on wednesday
 
In all fairness I have had tons of pressure on my back passage so maybe he could'av dropped but my belly doesnt look any different so I dont really know.

But they do say that 2nd babies dont always engage or stay engaged until the very end they can keep popping back up!! that'd just be my luck!!
 
Hey ladies.

Another loooooooong day at work. Why did I think working till 37 weeks would be a good idea????

Lots of revising to do so just a quick one to say hi. I have had to dash to the loo twice today Gem, I think its prpbably a bit of nerves and a bit of baby pressure. I had a few 'proper' contractions at work too and a few zaps in my cervix. Think little girl is on her down - lets hope she hurries up!!!

Im off to have a leaf tea with my school books.

Big hugs everyone xxx

Hi Mummy2chimps,

I went for a scan at around 6-7 weeks as I had pain in my side (was a cyst) but at the scan they noticed a weird area next to cord insertion - it looked like blood inside the womb. As LO was tiny, it looked massive along side! We had to go and have loads of scans to check what it was. Over the few weeks, they decided it turned cystic - or basically hardened.

I ov'd twice that month (we were trying so everything was monitored!!) It was suggested at one scan that it could have been a twin of my LO that didnt make it and bled out.

I was told I may miscarry a few times and it was touch and go for aaaaages. The cyst looked like the moon in my womb at one point - it had a face! Everytime we had a scan it changed shape, and everyone who saw it said they'd never seen anything like it.
I never bled once, although I had blood in my wee for weeks which I had every test for and they couldnt figure out - so it was probably from this cyst thing. At about 15 weeks we had a specialst scan and it had disappeared! Since then so far so good :)

Hope that answers some questions hun. I hope you're ok if you're going through t - its very scary. PM me if you'd like to xxx
 
Well ladies after 4 hours of no poohing I thought I was over it!! big mistake!! had my tea and then within an hour my belly starts gurgling and I have just had to go wee out of my bum!! he he oops sorry!!

I was going to venture into town tomorrow but dont know if I dare now!!
