Hope you are alright DM. I have been considering the same thing but have an appointment in the morning. Im in so much pain i find it difficult to walk and have spent good parts of the day sobbing to myself.

Im probably completely pathetic but it has been constant pain, contractions and discomfort for 4 days and nights. Im so drained im not coping well at all! Must be the cleaniest girl in Sussex though as im averaging around 4 baths a day!!

 

[melissasbump]

Good luck Linds, hope all is well

SB, those cupcakes look amazing! And the flowers are lovely too!

Doodles, thanks for the update re Sparkle Glad all is well

Curlew, i was a bit of a gardener earlier on in my pregnancy, but its gone out the window now since i can barely bend down etc.

Caz, glad the brownies turned out well!

AFM Ive just thrown up my dinner whilst eating it all over the kitchen table and wet myself in the process! Will this ever end?

 

[Clareabell]

OMG Mel thats savage. Hope this all ends for you soon!!! I would not be able to cope one bit with things like that at all!

 

[Blue_bear]

Big hugs Claire, Hope things either settle down or hot up for you soon. Its horrible being in constant pain and not knowing if its actually doing anything or not. xxx

 

[caz_hills]

Oh Melissa - that is truely horrible for you, you poor thing. Take care and I hope you feel better. You have had such a rough ride.

Linds - hope the hospital can help you and that you feel better. Not a great day for your family with H being ill too.

Clare - poor you as well. It's not at all pathetic and I am sending you big hugs.

I feel so sad that everyone is unwell today and not feeling great. I've put hugs against all three posts and that makes me sad.

Keep smiling - we are nearly there. xxxxx

 

[samzi]

not heard from my friend since earlier, she said she would let me know if anything happens. im on tenterhooks checking my phone all the time lol

 

[curlew]

Dm - keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Clare - hugs that you are in so much discomfort and pain honey.

Mel - you poor thing. You have such a rough time of it. I normally do quite a lot of gardening including veg but this year I have done nothing, so this was my only attempt this year. Back to normal next year lol.

Doodles - thanks for the info re sparkle. My friends wee girl is called Maisie and she is a cutie.

 

[Hann12]

Mel - sounds awful hope you are okay!

Linds - let us know how you get on!

SB - cakes look delish!!

I have been having cramping quite severe on and off for a couple of hours coupled with back pain and BH it's wearing off now thankfully as it was starting to make me feel a bit sick. I changed into some pj bottoms which aren't pressing against me and that's helped. I think it's the baby moving lower. Ouchy though!!

 

[MrsWez]

Mel, that really really sucks for you. I'm sending cyber hugs. Being sick sucks.

DM, I hope Sophie comes soon. I can't imagine having to wonder if it's labor or not all the time.

I hope it ends soon for you Claire and you have baby Niamh with you soon.

SB, I'll have one please!! Love the tiger lilies too

Thanks for the update, Doodle. great weight for a baby and a cute name.

 

[Jenni4]

Congrats Sparkle!! I hope you and Maisie are well..... I hear emergency c/s and get a bit nervous!!

Good luck DM...
I hope this is no indication of Sophie's behavior once she's born....she'll be a handful!!

I need to take notes as I read because the only other thing I can remember is the picture of those brownies!!! Mmm... Makes me hungry!

 

[Hann12]

I spoke too soon, they are back.

 

[Clareabell]

Thanks girls, I think the sleep deprivation is making everything feel so much worse. My mum is on her way over now as Duncan is on lates. So atleast i wont be on my own any more.

Simmy, glad you’ve got a chest of drawers to start using now, I think it’ll definitely make a difference to your mood. All our stuff in still in bags & boxes, furniture now not due to arrive until 4th July… I won’t go into that whole saga now.

Hann & Simmy, glad you’ve both made some friends through NCT. We’ve only had 2 evening sessions so far & not at the stage of talking about meeting up outside the sessions, but we’ve got an all dayer tomorrow and our final sessions on Monday so I’m hoping after that we can approach each other. Probably going to feel very lonely otherwise, not so much on mat leave, probably more when the baby is a few weeks old & DH is working etc.

Tor - dont worry about it being too early to make outside plans - we didn't get around to it until the second last session. And also at the end the teacher will probably recommend that you all go out for a meal together, which should help 'gel' the friendships. And sorry to hear all your stuff's still in boxes, it really sucks doesnt it. Hopefully it's all the tight-fitting stuff you don't need right now...??

BF, with my first it was a nightmare, with Hailey it is going fantastically - just depends - hope it goes well for you, because it is great. If it doesn't, I remember DS's doctor saying to me - "when he graduates from school and walks across the stage, no one will know that he was bottle fed"

Lol thanks GW, that's so true! Glad to hear things are going great with Hailey, well done you

Bit of a TMI question. Is anyone else going for number 2s like REALLY regular? Im going at least 3 times a day at the mo, its not diorrea (sorry wrong spelling) but just really regular!

Yes me me me!! I was wondering about this. I figured baby is just taking up a bit more room so it has to come out. I also wondered whether it's a sign of labour!! lol.

Huge congratulations to Sparkle who had her daughter this morning!!!

Congrats Sparkle! and thanks for the update Doods.

I have just been made to feel completely thick by my 3 year old!
She's watching a kids cooking programme- I asked what they're making and she turns to me- almost rolling her eyes and says 'Boreks Mummy!' Who knew she was so clued up on turkish cuisine!

Holly is hilarious! i love how kids become more knowledgeable than us

Hope you are alright DM. I have been considering the same thing but have an appointment in the morning. Im in so much pain i find it difficult to walk and have spent good parts of the day sobbing to myself.

Im probably completely pathetic but it has been constant pain, contractions and discomfort for 4 days and nights. Im so drained im not coping well at all! Must be the cleaniest girl in Sussex though as im averaging around 4 baths a day!!

Claire honey big hugs to you

AFM Ive just thrown up my dinner whilst eating it all over the kitchen table and wet myself in the process! Will this ever end?

And hugs to you Mel, i really wish you could get a break.

SB and Caz - i am drooling over brownies and cakes! Yum!

AFM - NCT girls just left after a lovely tea and cake session, and I have managed to successfully dry a bunch of baby sheets on the line, so feel like it's been a productive day! Hmm i feel hungry again though... Off to rummage in the kitchen!

Completely random but there's a group on FB called '1 million likes and my wife will let me call our baby Megatron'

 

[curlew]

hann - oooh sorry you are in pain but its sounding good. And you thought you would be last!!!!!!

 

[MrsWez]

Completely random but there's a group on FB called '1 million likes and my wife will let me call our baby Megatron'

I just liked it!!

 

[Doodlepants]

Me too! That's so funny! Poor kid

 

[BlueViolet]

Doodle, that FB group sounds hysterical. Also, thank you for the update on Sparkle. Do you know what lead to the emergency c-section? I suppose it doesn't matter as long as both she and Maisie are healthy.

SB, I agree with everyone. That picture of cupcakes makes me drool. I need to go out to the store and pick up more eggs to make a chocolate cake. Like I need chocolate cake...haha! I'm also tempted to make some banana bread because I have some really ripe bananas and I don't like them when they get to that stage.

Clarea, I'm sorry to hear you're still in pain. It does sound like you're the cleanest girl around.

Mel, it's awful that you got sick at the dinner table. You had more than your fair share of sickness. I say, it should stop now! Your body better listen to my command

Mummy, glad you had a nice tea and managed to be productive too!

Hann, hope all these cramps lead to labor.

DM, good luck at the hospital. Hope you get to come home with Sophie soon

As for me, I did manage to get my butt off the couch and did yoga for 30min and some swimming for about 20min. I even attempted some squats and stretches under water. Let's hope that pushed her further down. At the very least I finally got some exercise. After I showered I got the dog's overnight bag all ready for when I go into labor and then I realized I hadn't eaten in close to 5hrs and my body started to shake. It was really weird. Maybe I overdid the stretching or something. I couldn't get myself to the kitchen fast enough to stuff my face. Now I'm better, but my pelvis is shaking with hiccups. Yet, not one contraction in sight. Meanwhile, I keep getting phone calls and texts asking how I'm doing...I should have a prerecorded message: "fine, still pregnant!"

 

[Blue_bear]

SOPHIE IS ON HER WAY LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!!

DM is on her way to theatre as we speak xxxx
