[melissasbump]

Morning ladies,
wow a lot of chatting has been had in the last 24 hours!

Hann, happy 38 weeks! Sorry you had a crap time last night at the hospital, it seems bizarre that they called you in on a fri night if they couldnt give you what you needed!
Also never heard of that syringe thing you mentioned! Sounds weird!
Big hugs for feeling down

GW, Happy Canada day for yesterday, i hear our royals are going down a storm over there!

Wez, cookout on the 4th July sounds great, you can celebrate the Beckhams having their baby! lol

Brit, hope baby doesnt keep you waiting too much longer!

Caz, i love it when i get those period feelings too, feels like my body is actually doing something even though it probably isnt! Hope you enjoy the wedding today

SB, Good luck with the induction, looking forward to some good news from you very soon!

Eve, thanks for the BF contacts, i must look up in my local area, have the feeling i will need all the support i can get!Your afternoon tea looks lush btw!


DM, Hope you are feeling better and the pills are kicking in.

Phoebe, congrats on your baby girl! looking forward to some pics!

Simmy, 2am WTF! lol

Starry, good to hear from you, happy Canada day for yesterday!

Frecks, you sound like you are getting on great with the BF, hang in there hun!

Jenn, facial reflexology sounds interesting! Hope baby hangs on in there till hubby gets back! how long has he gone for?

B Bear, yay for losing plug, im SOO jealous! And i saloute you for the projectile vomiting in Tesco, something even i havent managed to achieve yet! big hugs for you though, its shit isnt it

Well AFM, managed an afternoon nap yesterday before we went to my parents, then went out and had a nice meal etc before getting home at about 11pm. Was exausted and glad to say i slept pretty well last night, so other than the usual sicky feeling, not feeling too bad today.
Had some really bad cramping on the way home in the car last night, but it had disappeared by the time i got into bed.
Today just hanging around the house, gonna try and get some cleaning done, OH has decided he wants to paint the living room!
Oh and earlier a police officer knocked on the door as apparently a girl got assaulted outside our house last night while we were out. And i thought this was a nice area! Bugger it looks like it might rain and ive got washing on....

My pelvis feels like someone took a cheese grater to it - Geez I can't even go out for tea without wrecking myself LOL Apparently I was having contractions for half the night and kept Chris awake [I slept through them HAHAHA]

Hann poor you, that is such a ******** hospital by the sounds of things... I hope you get it cleared up soon!!!

Freckles might be worth you popping by one of the groups anyways, it's always good to have the support in case you have something else happen!

BB you've gotta love public projectile vomit!!! The joys of pregnancy!!!

 

[Aaisrie]

Mel the sun is splitting the trees here!! I hope you don't do too much!!

 

[Jenni4]

@Mel ... I'm not sure when he'll be back....probably Tuesday or wednesday....Thursday?? Not sure! Lol!!

Has taken me ages to catch up today. Was at Wimbledon yesterday, and had a fantastic day, making the most of me & DH time as this could be our last weekend as a 2 instead of a 3. Was a bit nervous about going so far just a week before due date but we’re back home now & very glad we took the risk.

Caz – enjoy the wedding today, it sounds like a long day though so don’t overdo it.

SB – how are you getting on hun? Did you get your Egg McMuffins?! Fingers crossed the induction is ok.

BV – thanks for sharing your birth story and the pics of baby Jillian, she is just adorable. ☺

Amanda – good luck for your induction on Monday.

Linds – hope you’re keeping the PND under control

Eve – glad you enjoy your BnB meet, sounds very civilisied!

Phoebe – congrats on the birth of baby Florence.

Mel – scary about the attack outside your house, I was saying to DH last night about how safe I feel in the apartment with 24 security & when we move into a house I’ll feel relatively vulnerable. I’m sure you don’t have anything to worry about though.

Britt – what is baby scrap booking?! (sorry if I’m being dense).

Hann, I’m actually quite angry about how the hospital messed you about last night, must have been a bit scary & very inconvenient. But glad you are feeling more positive after talking to your Mum, it’s so easy to get overly worried about loads of stuff at the moment.

Freckles – glad Elliot is doing well, good luck with the BF, I think the majority of people find it tough so don’t get too frustrated.

Wez, how are you getting on hun? Seems to be going on forever, are you managing to rest ok? Fantastic that your best friend is travelling from Las Vegas to be with you.

Doods – come on girl, you’re meant to be next to give birth. Being sick in your sleep sounds horrendous, have you been ok since?

BB – vomiting in Tesco must have got you some attention! If you had peed yourself you would have had to pretend that your waters had broken, nobody would have known!

Jenni – hope you don’t miss your DH too much while he’s in Tanzania, is that with work? He should really be at home making you cups of tea & rubbing your back at this stage. If things do start while he’s away I bet he’ll feel awful, but at least you know he can get back in time if need be.

Simmy – love the Waitrose story! I get cravings for biscuits all the time.

AFM, I put the waterproof pads on the bed last night for the first time & woke up feeling quite wet but turns out it’s just because they’re so sweaty. Not sure I can put up with another week or 2 of that but I love my mattress so really can’t risk ruining it. ☹

DH is having a mammoth lie-in today which I’m quite pleased about because he’s been wearing himself out recently, and with ~6 hours of driving yesterday I was getting worried that if things kick off anytime soon he won’t have the stamina to deal with it. Not known him to sleep into the afternoon for years.

[Aaisrie]

Tor could you put a couple of sheets over it so you aren't so close to the waterproof layer?

 

[Sharique42]

I had the same problem Tor, really uncomfortable! I have put a hand towel over the top of the mat & it's so much better

 

[Jenni4]

Yeah, he's with his bosses so he can't really say no...but I have a doula on call and some help around the house...he's got me covered in the comfort department anyway.....now if I could just find someone to fan me and spritz water in my face while I'm running errands i would be in heaven!!!

 

[Tor81]

I've put a towel on top of the matress so I could wrap it around the edge, and then the padded matress protector I usually have (not waterproof), then the waterproof pad, and then a fitted sheet... what do you think, shall I just add another fitted sheet over the top?

xx

 

[melissasbump]

Wow wee im exausted now! Just done a load of cleaning (as in proper deep cleaning, skirting boards etc) two loads of washing and some ironing, now my back and pelvis feel ready to colapse and baby has woken up and is expressing its displeasure, so i have to stop now. Havent done so much in a long time, think Curlew has been rubbing off on me!

 

[Hann12]

Tor I think you have it covered - I've just got a shower curtain and one of those absorbent maternity mats under my sheet.

Mel - thats not good about the attack, it can happen anywhere though so don't worry.

BB - any developments?

I've definitely cheered up today, and the baby is definitely low. Just had the most uncomfortable walk and BH's. Still think it could be a while yet somehow but good to know its getting in the right position!

Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather

 

[Hann12]

Mel - just saw your message - that was me yesterday and I was soooo sore afterwards!
Of course Greg has been in for less than a day and has undone my good work in the kitchen so I'll be doing it again! Better get used to it though!!

 

[melissasbump]

Theres a gorgeoues pic of Freckles and baby Elliot on fb

 

[Blue_bear]

Im still here Hann! Nothing really exciting to report sadly....feel really tired and i cant seem to nap for more than 10 mins which is very strange for me! Just been for another walk because i feel really aggitated too....don't know if thats frustration more than anything though!

Is Doods still here?!

Mel - Well done on the cleaning, you deserve super brownie points for that. Hopefully your back will ease off though.

Glad your feeling happier Hann.

 

[Jenni4]

Was sugarbeth getting induced today?? Haven't seen her on yet....

 

[Hann12]

Seriously I don't know how you are doing all the walking, it feels so pressurised when I walk. I try to block it out. Maybe mine is worse because of this uti? I have had period cramps all day but no mucus plug loss - jealous of you but then again you are 12 days ahead of me

Doods is a bit quiet today - hopefully something is happening!!

 

[caz_hills]

Freckles – sounds like a great day with Elliott and a party – wow, I didn’t expect to leave the house for weeks once we had the baby!!!!

Hann – glad you’re feeling better. I totally know how you feel as I felt rubbish after the doctor said yesterday that they needed to send my urine sample off. But it seems like loads of us have potential UTI’s at the moment so maybe it’s just where we are in the pregnancy!

Melissa – sounds like a lovely evening and yay (hopefully?) to the cramping feelings – we are getting them so it must mean something is happening or getting ready for us!

Eve – I love it that you had contractions but slept through them and woke your hubbie – hilarious! You must be tough for them not to wake you!

Tor – glad you enjoyed Wimbledon – it looked like an amazing day on TV – we watched the Murray match and the atmosphere looked fab!

Jenni – I forgot you live in Dubai, you must be BOILING!!!!! And here was us moaning about the heat here – I came to Dubai in December and I was hot then, let alone in July!!!!!

AFM – we have the first half of the wedding and now we’re home for a couple of hours before the evening event starts. Amazing weather, they got married outside, and we had a traditional English brunch with yummy scones with cream and jam – mmmmmm..... Hubbie then offered to listen to my relaxation CD with me – bless him. It’s so lovely that he wants to be part of it and understand – I’m a lucky lady!

Right, off to get ready for the evening now – another outfit, new make-up needed. It’s been a lovely day so far though and I am looking forward to tonight – just wish I could have some champagne but in a few weeks I’ll be able to!

 

[Blue_bear]

Getting royally f**ked off with messages from people asking if theres any signs yet etc....
Also. the ones where people say 'oh, such and such date would be good as it was my aunties mothers brothers cousins birthday'

Since when did i have a choice in the matter!

rant over.......

 

[Aaisrie]

LOL BB I've heard of people giving a later EDD just so as they don't put up with that from people. When I was in my last week with Saraya I switched my phone on silent because the txts were nearly constant I thought I was gonna lose the plot!!!

Caz apparently I was having them every couple of mins for 30-40mins!! Was quite tired this morning though so I'm thinking it still kinda wore on me a bit because I don't feel like I've rested.

Hann so loving the weather apart from where my bump is so low I have a crease which I have to dry the sweat from - sexy huh??

Tor I would just put a bunch of sheets or something over it so as it doesn't make you sweat?

OMG, I know it's so freaking annoying. Get a clue people!! No news = no news!! If there was news you would know! I have people telling me I should have him on the 4th, like I have any control in the matter.

Oh and sorry to hear about your tesco incident, I had a similar incident in a gas station. I wanted to die.
