Thanks Linds - always good to know some tips for what is working - we can but try when our baby comes along!

Britt - really feeling for you - I hope the u/s goes really well and that they give you some answers. You are getting induced on Sunday aren't you? Not long now. xx

Enjoy your nap Han!

 

[DragonMummy]

big hugs to you Catherine. I was fekking miserable at 39 weeks - I think I'd have been suicidal at 41..... Hope she makes a break for it soon

 

[fifi-folle]

The texts and FB messages have now started, argh! Even had one from my 14yr old BIL!!!
Got my post dates appt made for next Fri (the full moon), but the reflexologist m/w is doing a sweep on Monday so hopefully won't get to that stage! Didn't even bother asking m/w this afternoon to do one (she's not my preferred one, was really patronising last time I was in.)

 

[Hann12]

Britt - I am with Linds, I am fed up at 39 weeks and just the constant texts are driving me crazy, not sweet in any way. Its always the same 15 -20 people in a cycle every day, 'any update from baby M?' Its like they think I wouldn't say if I had it. I'm half tempted to make it up and say 'oh yes baby arrived' then make up a date and name! I know thats terrible because they aren't be malicious they just want to show they care. I really am in a bad mood today aren't i?!!
Anyway hope that u/s goes well - let us know how you get on xx

Linds - can't believe you are back to pre pregnancy weight, forget how Soph manages to sleep through the night and tell me how you dropped the weight?!!

Caz - enjoy the shops - don't fall short like me and remember your boobs are bigger than you think!!

Fi - I think you are probably with me on the texts/messages tee hee!! I hope you get what you need to next week, if you make it that long. I am sure I'll still be here this time next week.
Hopefully there will be someone on this thread with me to stop me from going insane!!!

 

[Hann12]

Oh and just realised I AM fed up now and I'm not even 39 weeks!

 

[Tor81]

Samzi, glad you’re going in to get the baby movements checked, it will give you peace of mind.

Hann, did you buy anything nice from Waitrose? We haven’t had any rain here today, think we had it all yesterday!

Linds, thanks for the update on Georgie, I have been thinking about her all day. Hope she can get the epi soon as she’s been in pain for ages now.

Simmy, fab bump!

Caz, hope you enjoyed your shopping trip, did you treat yourself to anything nice, or manage to restrain yourself to just buy groceries?!

Britt, how was your ultrasound? Are you booked in for an induction if nothing happens naturally in the next couple of days?

I’m just tucking into a plate of microwaved chip shop chips, coated in salt & vinegar – I’m loving it and baby is either loving it too, or protesting… not sure what this crazy wriggling means!!

xx

[samzi]

[melissasbump]

Hi everyone.

Thanks Linds for the update on Georgie, hope its all going well for her and her ickle boy arrives very soon!

Try and catch up with everyone else...

Caz, glad the bio oil is helping with the itch, ive been a wee bit itchy last couple of nights too but nothing too bad so far. Glad you enjoyed the wedding party last night too!
Im with you on the hormonal thing, i often burst into tears for no apparent reason and i cant talk to any companies on the phone anymore as it stresses me out too much

Jenni, loving the camel milk theory, have you tried it yet?

Eve, strangers making random comments... i get that, some of the stuff ive had said to me i wouldnt DREAM of saying to other people! Especially people i dont know!

Hann, love that 15th July is a full moon! Figures! lol Several of us will be out howling that night no doubt! And you always seem to be food shopping, in all the nice places like m and s and waitrose! lol! Hope you can get the baby swing replaced without any issues.


Simmy, Hope you had a nice time with your NCT friends today! And thats a stunning bump shot, you look so healthy!

BV, loving the app that your hubby made!

Fifi, my original due date was 13th July! I cant remember why it got changed though, think it was at thr dating scan, im still keeping everything crossed this baby comes early but my hopes are slowly fading...

Tor, yay for the lay in, thats my usual getting up time lately, i agree make the most of it! A lovely idea to get your hubby the pen! My gift will be this baby! lol

Topaz, im the same, short of breath and strugglling to breath and shattered all the time!

Linds, glad Sophie is being a good baby and well done for getting to pre pregnancy weight, they say that BF burns a lot of calories so that must be helping!

Britt, hope the u/s went well, big for you, i can understand why you are so fed up!

Emzi, lol at you ticker!

Samzi, glad all ok and your mind is put at rest.

Well AFM, been out most of the day with my parents, went to a lovley pine/oak shop this morning then to my grandads for fish and chippy lunch, yum yum! We then went to the cremetoriam to visit my nan as its a year today since we scattered her ashes so that was hard but nice too. We then went to a couple of shops this afternoon before ending up in Asda.
BTW, this might sound really sad but they have a cleaning event on at the moment and have lots of products for £1, ie things like big bottles of fairy liquid, flash cleaners, dettol cleaners, wipes etc, it makes them all less than half price, well worth a stock up. I bought loads of bottles of Ribena as i love it and its currently £1 too so i was happy. Doesnt take much does it lol!
Anyhow now im shattered, and i feel like babys head is sticking out of my foof, its really hard to walk far now, even just the supermarket is a struggle. I think my baby is mahoosive! xx

 

[Hann12]

Good news Samzi!

Emee - sounds a bit scary but glad you are okay.

Okay one of my friends just posted on my FB 'where is the baby'. OMG - I'm not being funny but I'm not even overdue!!!!!!! Arrgghhhhh

 

[Hann12]

Mel - just saw your post, glad you had a nice day, though sad about the anniversary of your nan
You are funny about your ribena! I actually hate it so you can drink my share.

Greg not left work yet, he had better leave soon otherwise we will be in westfield really late and I will be even more cranky than I am now, if thats at all possible!!

 

[Doodlepants]

Congratulations Wez!! Can't wait to hear all about it!

Loving the camel induction techniques Jenni!

Good luck BB- I hope it all goes OK xx

 

[Tor81]

Emee, good to hear from you. Sorry to hear you’ve had a bit of a scare but glad everything is ok now. Hope it doesn’t really take another 9 years for your baby to arrive!!

Samzi, glad your hospital trip was worthwhile, were they nice to you?

Mel, sounds like you’ve had a lovely day. If baby doesn’t decide to be on time I might drag DH to ASDA on Saturday, sounds like some worthwhile bargains.

Still thinking about Georgie, looking forward to an update.

I’ve just sorted through a load of paperwork & finances, thanks to my tax return I owe £800 in tax & student loan, grrr, would have been nice to pay it to get it out of the way but seeing as I don’t have to until Jan next year I think I’ll put it off for a bit!!

Think I’m going to have a “told you so” moment with DH, he was trying to convince me last night that he’d get home by 6pm/6.30 today but I told him no way, and he hasn’t even called to say he’s left work yet. Good job I didn’t have lunch (those chippies) until 3.30pm.

xx

 

[samzi]

yeah they were lovely

 

[Hann12]

Tor - I have the same thing all the time with my DH, they always end up working longer than they think. I know mine is putting the hours in before the baby is born so he can have 3 weeks off but it is hard sometimes when you're just waiting for them to come home. Greg just got back now so waiting for him to sort himself out before we do the mission of Westfield! Hope yours gets back soon, Greg isn't normally home till 7.30 so I've at least got him home early today!

 

[DragonMummy]

Emee this thread is going to be bloody lonely for the next 9 years

Hann, morning sickness, pregnancy hormones overriding my pcos and a hungry breastfed baby!

edit: worth noting that being pre preg weight doesn't mean i am pre preg shape! tummy resembles a shorn scrotum... oh well, 9 months on, 9 months off. She's not 2 weeks old yet so it will get back to normal. Sort of.....

Evening everyone. So I took Niamh to cranial therapy today. I found it absolutely hysterical and acted like a naughty little school girl that got the giggles. The lady that did it was so alternative and placed her magic hands on Niamh and could feel all her tension. The baby looked at me like I had lost the plot by handing her over to this crazy woman. She lightly ran her hands over Niamh's body then twisted her a little and massaged her head and told me she had tension in her ankle that was effecting her tounge.

I cried with laughter. Im not at all "alternative". The woman must of thought I was mental, I personally felt mental for parting with my £30. The proof will be in the pudding tonight if she settles, she still is not able to latch and is having EBM.

Still thinking of Georgie, I have text her and she is having a hard time of it but hopefully not much longer left before baby J makes his long anticipated arrival, cant wait to hear.

Mel - Your lunch with your Grandpa sounds fab, so yummy! Sorry about your Gran but lovely that you could all be together today I feel really sad that my Granny is not hear to meet Niamh she would of got a real kick out of it. But im convinced that she has been looking after Niamh and Niamh's eyes are starting to turn blue and before my Granny died she said the baby will have the Nolan eyes and it looks like she is right even though her dads eyes are brown Im sure your nan is looking over your LO too

Hann - Hopefully not to long and hopefully all the preparation you are doing will mean that you dont go overdue. People are so annoying from about 37 weeks people would contact me and by the time I was 39 weeks you would of thought I was two weeks overdue the way people were acting she was actually 5 days early.

Caz - You really are a social girl!! I didnt go anywhere or see anyone in my last week of pregnancy I was a big, fat, swollen, sleep deprived misery guts!! I take my hat off to you.

Tor - Hope your hubby gets home soon so you can have some food.

Samzi - Glad everything is ok with baby AJ better to be safe than sorry

Linds - Sophie is a little dream baby!! Has the dream swing music done your head in yet? hippity skip there goes pip!!!

 

[Jenni4]

Typing this as i'm trying not to faint from exhaustion!! ....waiting for food delivery.

Will catch up properly after I've had some food....

Fed the camel some sort of herb plant, not exactly sure...but it ate it right off my shirt. By the way....camels are not very cute up close and personal!! Then hubby and I walked a few kilometers in 37degree temps.... Ugh!! Thank god I was not offered camel milk because I don't think i could have done it!!
