Ooooh how exciting, Good luck! hopefully she isn't playing funny buggers with you this time. She must have known how much you didn't want to do your pre op.

 

[Jenni4]

Good luck DM!! I hope this is really it for you!!!
This is so exciting for me to be able to participate in everyone's experience even though it's not my turn yet! Thanks girls!!

 

[sparky32]

DM - i really hope this is it, please keep us posted. Man i'm so jealous

MrsWez - i love butter chicken and i love cupcakes even more!! I make cupcakes, much to the delight of my family & friends. My fav is raspberry & white chocolate mmmm

Curlew - i hope you managed to get some sleep, nothing worse than being up at stupid o'clock

SB - eggplant/aubergene parmigana is amazing, one of my fav's well done on making your own sauce. I love it with seabass or cold with a nice salad. Think i may have this for tea tonight!

Clareabell - i hope you feel better soon, big hugs

Squeeker - the nursery sounds nearly done, well done!! You'll need to post pic's when finished oh its all very exciting!!

AFM - i'm been having irregular contractions yet again!! I was half asleep during some of them when my husband woke me up asking if i was ok cause i was making noises like i was in pain!! It would be funny if it wasnt so annoying. I do wish they'd turn into something or stop all together. Got my consultant today so will see what is said.
Hope everyone has a good day xxx

 

[Jenni4]

Am I the only one not having contractions or losing mucous plug or being teased by signs?? I don't even think LO is engaged. Last week my dr said the baby was fixed but not engaged and my cervix was 4cm long. I think I might be the last bump standing....

 

[curlew]

DM - good luck fingers crossed Sophie has jumped the gun on your pre op and you will just be whipped in and done just like you wanted.

Sparky - hope your contractions come to something too.

jenni - no my little ones head is not engaged as yet and I have had absolutely no symptoms so you are not alone.

 

[caz_hills]

Morning everyone,

Sparky – good luck with your consultant tomorrow/today – hope it goes well.

Wez – hope the acid burning calsm down – I’ve heard it’s common in late pregnancy and I hope the milk helps! Perhaps a nice yogurt too?

Beth – sounds like a good day for you yesterday with a good chiropractor appointment and good news from your consultant. The aubergine dish looks yummy! I’m only nearly 37 weeks so won’t make it quite yet but I love aubergine so will be onto that recipe soon!

Curlew – happy 37 weeks hun! Full-term!!! Xxx

Clare – hope you managed to get some more sleep and are feeling better.

Squeeker – not long left at work – we’ll count down with you and look forward to you having some time to put your feet up!

DM – woooooooooowwwwwww, let us know how you get on at the hospital, sending you lots of big hugs. Xxx

AFM – had period feelings (not quite cramps but you know the sensation when your period is coming) all last night and throughout the night. Convinced myself it means labour is near by but Neel has told me to not get my hopes up as probably it’s nothing and that we have anywhere betwen 1 day and 5 weeks to wait! Is this a good thing or a sign? No plug loss or anything though....

 

[Hann12]

Caz I think the periodtype feeling is common at this stage and unfortunately doesn't appear to mean that labour is imminent. That and what I now know are BH are the only signs I have.
Jenni - I could be last bump standing too but ours will be the beach bump babies as they'll be the youngest

Curlew - hope you slept and happy 37 weeks!!

Sb - good news on katies position and glad the recipe turned out well!

Any updates linds?

Clare - hope you got sleep!

AFM - Greg had a work thing last night so wasn't home till 1am but that was okay. He is off to work soon and I have my mw appointment at 12. Will update you. I don't think baby is engaged
Then off to my parents tonight until Saturday so will only have iPhone connection.
Did you see it's going to be 25-31 from sat - Monday!! I need to put some fake tan on my legs so I can wear a skirt without looking like Caspar!

 

[caz_hills]

Hope your MW appointment goes well today Hann. Let us know how you get on if you have time.

Great news on the weekend weather - bring it on! Although I'm having serious hot flushes at the moment so will need a fan or something to keep me cool!

[samzi]

ive had no pains since the other night but LO is quiet today so who knows. Hand isnt itchy today either thankfully tho the top of my foot is a little.

 

[DragonMummy]

Sigh yet another false alarm. Petered out by morning. Preop went well. Proper update in a bit, need sleep first. X

 

[emzeebob]

just a quickie as im on my fone,

uk girlies, does anyone no where i can get get a cat net from for cot/moses basket, oh brought a new moses basket and out cat princess loves it and we keep finding her asleep in i it, even though is in a room where the door is always locked, i just cant find a net anywhere, thanx

 

[Doodlepants]

Ugh, just had to stop myself from commenting on that dreadful thread in 3rd tri- this girl basically moaning on about how she wasn't going to let a baby change her life and they would have to cry it out etc if they wanted her and she wasn't ready.....
I know some people are more maternal than others but I really do wonder- if you are so so adamant that you won't let a baby change the way you do things and fit in around YOUR life and basically make out that by crying they are being devious- why have a baby?!
Plus people going on bout how they won't let their kids watch cartoons as they refuse to stop watching Jermey Kyle! What lovely families they must have.....
I don't think any of that will offend anyone here as you are all lovely and brilliant mummies/ mummies to be, but if I have then sorry, just peed me off lol!

Em- I have no idea- have you tried Ebay?

Glad the pre-op went well DM Hope you got some rest xx

 

[Aaisrie]

Awww DM I can't believe you are getting such severe "false alarms" I remember with Saraya I had like proper contractions the day before her but I think this time has been worse but you've had it worse than any of the rest of us.. Glad your pre-op went well and hope you get some sleep.

Curlew hope you got sleep and happy 37w!!

I think I'm the only one here NOT trying to get bubs out LOL I'm making the most of the "me" time or Saraya and I time lol Although me being the size I am means it's a lot easier for her to find me when we play hide and seek... [facepalm]
I had my pre-natal check with my HV yesterday, she's nice but she's quite old hat. She has seen Saraya as well so I already know her but it's the fact that she's not up to date on things - like she told me to apply for the Surestart Mat. grant which as the UKers will know doesn't apply for a 2nd child since January this yr, and she didn't know that... I'd already told her that in March when she came to do Saraya's 2 yr checkup!! I also mentioned that I might want to do a delayed vaccinations schedule which she wasn't overly happy with saying something about more paperwork for her *rolls eyes*

 

[Aaisrie]

Em I have no idea other than what Doods said... failing that maybe try phoning a local vets and asking them if they know?

Doods omg that thread?? I'm gonna have to go look now... what's WRONG with her?!

 

[Sofiekirsten]

Em they sell them at mothercare

 

[Doodlepants]

Oooh didn't think of mothercare- good idea!

Haha Eve I'm having funny visions of you trying to play hide and seek! I tried to hide behind a door yesterday (from M- thought I'd better clarify as sounds a bit muggerish pmsl!) and he could see my bump! He said it was like scary movie when that bloke tried to hide under the rug

 

[emzeebob]

thanks sk, will send the oh on a mission before i strangel his cat princess lol

dm- glad the preop went well

doods- i just read sum of the thread and im shocked

curlew- happy 37 weeks

eve- love ur pic on fb, i feel tiny compared to u bless ya and were only a day apart, love the fact ur dd sees ur bump before u wen playing hide and seek

AFM feeling a bit fluey today, cough cold runny eyes etc, being on the sofa with my hips and now my cold thing is wonderful lol, cats are being nitemares, princess asleep in moses basket in a room thats always closed and her 20 week old son constantly bringing mice and birds to the door, ewwwwwwww,

hope u all ok, cant believe all these babies are cuming thick and fast and its not july yet


emee x x x

 

[Doodlepants]

Aw Em you have my sympathies re the vet bills!
Our dogs been seeing a specialist- they only accept insurance claims for x-rays etc- not consultations. Consultations are £280 a time... :-/
Understandably I told them to either claim on my insurance or whistle for it.... lol!

 

[Aaisrie]

Em the joy of having baby #2 = I'm bigger this time!!!

And to quote Chris "All you can see is your huge ass" lol I was trying to hide behind the bed on my hands and knees but because of my bump my ass was stuck up in the air... I'm sure it was dead attractive LOL

 

[Blue_bear]

Em - If you wanted to try something before the baby is here, you can try putting tin foil in the basket, cats hate landing on it by all accounts!

I will update properly later, just got back witht he dogs and am pooped!
