July 2009 buddies wanted!!

[wishingonastar]

aww sorry to hear things are a bit difficult maybe
i'm sure its not only the work and journey, but also his internal fears about imminent arrival...
don't know about the rest of you but now i've started maternity leave i feel guilty that OH traipses off to work each day while i stay at home so i try to make sure i do noticable bits of housework each day to make up for it! silly i know since i'm working hard carrying and providing for a whole little person now but can't help feeling like it...i also get up at same time as him each morning

godiva - bet you can't wait for your OH to come home honey x x

 

[maybethistime]

Hi everyone.

Gem - good news on scan honey. Petite babies- thats what we want!

Sarah - where are you woman? Hope you're not jumping ahead of the queue in the baby producing stakes??!!

Well girls Im back at my desk again. Is anyone else totally convinced LO is coming everyday - only to be disappointed when at 7:30am the alarm goes off and you havent gone into labour over night? I was convinced it was happeneing last night again.LO has had reduced movements - I can feel this huge pressure on my cervix now - its horrid. It twinges with pain all day and my back is still unbearable. I have bad bum wee after i eat or drink anything and my bbs hurt so badly the last few days - ALL SIGNS SURELY?!!!!!

How is everyone else physically????

Im on my 1st RLT of the day fingers crossed it does what it says on the tin. I want a nce toned uterus!!

 

[SJK]

morning girls, my yous can talk , and what a funny couple of pages re. positions

I went for appoint yday with consult, bp back upto 141/100, so she said I def wont be going past my due date , she also said I looked miserable, and I replied I am miserable, I cant wear any shoes with the size of my feet, I have a constant headache, no sleep, bad hayfever etc etc, you would be too. so she done an internal and said if the cervix was favourable she would induce me tomorrow , at which point I started to sh*t myself, so she done the internal, full hand in and said the cervix was soft but still closed , so Im back at midwife today for blood pressure again and if no change Im going friday am for a sweep , prob wont work but its a start xx

 

[whitelilly]

Oh my goodness SJK- how exciting! You could have your little one very soon!!!

Well, I went to Lidl and also stocked up on their fruit. And loads of fresh pineapple juice. I also had my firtst cup of RLT this morning.

To be honest, my bump is really sore now. All over. And feels really hard! I also feel a little bit sick.

wishing- i also feel guilty that OH is at work and I am not. So today I am doing all the housework and make hima nice dinner when he comes in. It's his favourite- pasta with cream, chillis, chorizo and chicken. I love it too! Might make it extra spicy from now on!!! xx

 

[NikiJJones]

Just checking in for an update, ladies! Sorry not popped in for AGES! I've been keeping my journal up to date, and popping in here to read up on everyone else.
I'm now 37 + 2. I'm feeling OK. Have another week to go at work, and just about coping with it, though I'm tired in the evenings. My C section is booked for 8th July, but I'm not convinced Baby will wait that long, so prepared for beginning labour early and having to have an emergency section if needs be. He is still a very active and kicky little fella, and does not seem to be able to decide what position he wants to be in!
GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!!

 

[wishingonastar]

well...i had midwife today and she said baby not fully engaged but has head in centre of pelvis so is getting there, but the little monkey has turned and decided right at the last minute to go back to back! all the way through my pregnancy at scans and midwife appointments its been the other way and now it turns

i also found it was super active this morning - throwing massive kicks and punches out my belly when i heard a brief scraping noise - coming from in my belly!!! i now know what it was up to with all that movement...blinking turning round!!!

i am also like some of you getting the stabby pains in my hoo ha which is apparently cervix getting ready

 

[godivalocks]

Wishing--yes, I'm very excited about seeing OH!

SJK--Wow, that close to an induction. I'd be freaking out, too! Relief and scared out of my mind, probably, lol.

My pelvis is aching. It's really hard to get out of bed, change position, etc. Other than that, I have no sign whatsoever that I'm going to go, so no, not really thinking I'm going to have the kid soon.

My OB said that shooting pain in the the hoo-haw is ligament pain . That one didn't make sense to me, because that seemed to be an odd place for ligaments to be.

 

[maybethistime]

SJK oh u jammy bugger lol, well lets hope the sweep works, no faire tho we share dates lol, I remember not so long ago saying u wanted to give birth in july at least heheh

I have been constantly in my naughty cupboard! I bought shed loads of fruit though and made a nice big fruit sald but still found my way to the iced ginger cake! hmmm.

I am away for a physio appt now- my left hip is killing me and I can't sleep.

I am so glad I am not at work anymore, the weather is gorgeous! My house is like a chinese laundry though as I have done about 4 washings already today! xx

 

[Elliebank]

I have been constantly in my naughty cupboard!

From what the others have been saying about checking yourself down there I thought that's what you meant at first by being in yr 'naughty cupboard'!!!

 

[Elliebank]

well...i had midwife today and she said baby not fully engaged but has head in centre of pelvis so is getting there, but the little monkey has turned and decided right at the last minute to go back to back! all the way through my pregnancy at scans and midwife appointments its been the other way and now it turns

Ha ha oh dear!! Hope it turns again then yr not in back labour!!

 

[maybethistime]

HAHHA EB to funny,

Needed a laugh said on friday my friend ordered me the cot top changer well it matches the cot perfectly but they have not sent the correct part i mean how bloddy difficult is it to do, the most important parts as well a washer and a small screws she got it from toys r us as well as it is for a baby to lay on u would of thought they would be extra careful when getting the component list im so pissed I didnt tell my friend cos she would be well upset. lucky there is a number u can call for missing parts stating in the unlikely even mmm more like likely!!!! GOING TO MY naughty cupord now lol.

good luck at ur physio WL hope it helps
