I wasn't working to begin with, and the way this pregnancy has gone, thank goodness for that.

I think it's all in how you feel. If you feel you can work up to that point, and want to, then go for it. Nothing wrong with it.

On a side note, I bought a few necessities, just in case baby comes early. Not that I think he will, but there's always the small chance and the idea of being caught off guard made me purchase some stuff.

I finished last week eb as docs said at 20 weeks that depending on how big LO is - due to previous shoulder dystocia (baby got stck in pelvis) and his size they would like to check for size at 36 weeks so they can induce early if needed. hence finishing early just in case. I was gonna finish at 38 weeks!!

But hey - I have that appointment on Monday so we will see, although I dont think he is as big as my first!!


Yay godiva for finally giving in and buying some stuff, It will make life easier when things do happen!!

 

[TigerLady]

Are most people not buying things???

I am trying to stock up on the very last of the things I need at this point. Just in case LO comes early. I want to be ready -- hopefully no later than this weekend. Will probably have a few bits still on the way via post though.

glad you're ok sjk...do they know that happened?

you're poor little boy gem!

No they dont, done blood tests for anemia.It is quite low, but not enough to be concerned about, prob a mix of everything, blood pressure etc, I honestly thought it was starting, but no such luck xx

Morning girls,

EB border looks great , very nice

hope all is well, I cant sleep, lower back pains starting , althou prob nothing to get excited about, I have the wee mans sports day at 9am, so want to be at that, go shopping for a few things and then Im ready anytime you are !!

 

[Elliebank]

I don't think I'd work that far up unless I could work from home, but it's not such a problem if anything happens whilst I'm working as I'll be at home. But I don't know if I'll be able to as my back really hurts when sat at the computer.

SJK I hope this is it!!

i worked til 37 weeks and thought i could have gone on longer but am now glad i didn't as my feet and legs are getting really painful from the swelling. if i was home based i would have defo gone on so can't blame you for doing that EB

yay godiva you cracked i've had everything bought for months now... have purchased my nursing bras now too and only left them so late cos i had to for sizing! if anyone needs nursing bras defo check out ebay - absolute bargains on there and the 'Emily B' and 'Miriam' ones are gorgeous, they're brand new with tags for £5-12 and they look really feminine... i decided i've worn boring support bras all through pregnancy to try and save my boobs so during nursing i'm gonna wear sexier ones for my own self esteem!

That cot looks comfier than my bed!

I would show you all Ben's room but since getting the crib bedding i had to move all of his clothes and bath stuff elsewhere in the room so it looks a bit of a mess atm his Pj's are on the edge of his cot and crib haha

 

[geogem]

wishing - I know what you mean, I got some nusring bra's last month from ebay 4 for £12.50 total!! and they do my size which I must admit is usually a pain to find!!

 

[elley_baby248]

Have you all seen the thng about the Mama's and Papa's Starlight Swing from Argos? They have screwed up in there sale book and you get in for £34.99 instead of £98 because head ffice are honouring the lower price that was prited as a mistake!

I know lol i walk past it every morning wishing her in it lol

Was walking around asda today with mild pains coming and going but im gonna ignore them cos Ive not had BH for a while so im assuming thats what they are were lol I have not got any pain in my back so cant be anything else TMI im a little dam tho but I cant work out if its just extra CM that I get now and again :shrugg:

 

[elley_baby248]

I've had back ache really bad on and off all day and it was bad enough to make me want to cry and wouldn't go away no matter what i did. Oh and i have had (the only okish way to put it) bum wee ALL day as well

 

[TigerLady]

Watch that closely Elley! It could be back labor and your body clearing itself out for labor.

My friend was in back labor for a week and didn't know it because the contractions weren't strong up front. Her LO was back to back.

 

[elley_baby248]

I get the odd twinge in my tummy but nothing at all compared to my back it's like a burning throbbing stabbing pain it's hard to describe. I've been having it for a while but today it has got really bad.

My mum said the exact same thing as you which is quite scary. Plus back labour is quite possible as he is back to back still.

 

[TigerLady]

Getting worse?? Definitely phone the mw and she what she says!

 

[maybethistime]

yeh id phone the midwife as well elley god I wish my body would have a clear out

 

[elley_baby248]

It hasn't gotten any worse than it was this morning but it is worse than it was a few days ago.

I hate ringing them as i hate people think i'm making a fuss over nothing
