~ * ~ July Beach Bumps ~ * ~

[mummySS]

Doods you are officially 1day overdue! Are you the first beach bumper to go overdue?? Hope it doesn't last too long! Xx

 

[Clareabell]

Congratulations BV, your birth sounds similar to mine Its all sooooo worth it

Cant wait to see pictures of baby Jillian, all these beautiful girls. Time for a few more more boys now.

Hope everyone else is doing ok. Anyone heard of Sparky? July starts end of this week, im so excited.

Congrats BV, I hope your recovery is smooth and easy

Clair, beautiful! I want one lol

SB I hopy you get some rest and that things progress soon.

Mrs Wez hang in there not long now

Sparky I hope they got you all sorted, and that your happy healthy baby is delivered soon. I think you asked about urso, They have given me a script advised me to start taking it but left it up too me. I have had 2 good nights now , so I think I will wait to see the OB on Friday before I make any decisions.

The rest I dont remember sorry

Unless I have to be sectioned early I have dibs on me being one of the last ones standing. I have had a decrease in the number of BH I am getting and nothing else seems to be happening at all. Baby's head is not engaged and still movable and I pretty sure my cervix is still very high. although will find that out for sure on Friday. I am however very sore as I feel like my pelvis has decided to go on holidays, also am completely exhausted after the simplest jobs.

off to bed now as I am shattered, love waking up to all the baby news!

I would like to balance things out a little by having my boy.....but he appears to have got comfy again!

I feel a little down about it all today I know he will be here soon but its like so close, yet so far

I think next will be Sparky, Doods, Wez, SB and possibly Emz in the mix too....

Congratulations to Blue Violet on the birth of your daughter! Can’t wait to hear about it and see some photos! Hope you are recovering alright after your c-section.

Simmy – thanks for the update on BV, really appreciate it! Have a lovely day with your friend and her toddler.

Hann – enjoy your day bouncing and walking! It’s still sunny but a bit cooler today so I’m planning on some walking to, anything to get baby to move down!

Amanda – there are a few of us mid July beach bumpers – Hann, Melissa, Simmy and me all are too (sorry if I’ve forgotten anyone) so we can hang out together waiting for our babies to do something!

I've just added Jillian to the Graduate thread and its official now - girls have taken over boys in the latest batch, but are one behind since the birth of Charlie. Pretty even though!

I have to say that I think its only right that Doods gets to give birth next - she was meant to be one of the first and is officially over due AND has been very patient so I think she should be next to pop!

But BB you should be soon too, we do need another boy
I know you said that you feel a bit down as baby doesn't seem to be doing much but just think of Freckles story where she had no signs at all. I don't think BV had many signs either so fingers crossed and it will be you before long.

I'm off to town now to buy my fake rings - hopefully I'll find one somewhere!

I also write this very tentatively, but I think that baby has moved to the left side, and is more engaged so I am hoping that this is it and it stays that side. If that happens then I am nearly ready to go. Weird that this has happened after the second acupuncture session - coincidence or not?! Of course it has moved back before so I shouldn't speak too soon!!

 

[mummymarsh]

4 days till charlie should have made an appeareance.... sad times.... xxxx

 

[Doodlepants]

Mummy Marsh, he will never be forgotten xxx

 

[caz_hills]

Mummymarsh - big hugs, thinking of you. xxxx

Hann - good news on the movement. I say it's down to your acupuncture and also the bouncing/walking - you're doing all you can to get baby ready! Can't wait to see if you might be next?????!!!!!!

 

[Jenni4]

for mummymarsh...

 

[Tor81]

Congrats BV!!! Looking forward to seeing pics of baby Jillian.
Simmy – thanks for updating us.

Claire, Niamh is adorable, thanks for posting up the photo, loving all the pinkness. ☺

Mel, did you convince your DH to DTD again last night? Mine isn’t keen, think it’s all just a bit awkward!

SB, my appetite is actually the opposite, I’ve been like a hoover for the last few months but the last week or so I can barely finish a meal. As for the nipple leaking, I am too, just on the one side, not tried squeezing though, that grosses me out a little bit

Hann, apparently with the size of our babies now you can put a cone or a funnel to where you think the baby’s abdomen is & hear the heartbeat, obviously DH not you, I keep meaning to try it out!

I’d heard the last week or 2 is the worst for stretch mark so am keeping a close eye out every day, and layering on the creams!!

Caz, I definitely recommend the ball, it’s SO comfy, and its not possible to sit on without bouncing around or swaying your hips.

Curlew, glad you got a good nights sleep, hope the MW appointment went well.

Amanda, I know what you mean about the simplest jobs being exhausting, I thought I’d be able to achieve so much more now that I’m on mat leave but 10 mins of putting some washing on etc wears me out.

I agree, I think we should all stand aside & let Doodle pop next. Followed by BB & SB I think.

MummyMarsh, it’s so lovely that you’ve stayed with us & are so positive, it must be so upsetting for you.

AFM, after weeks of being in the right position and being told last week the head is 2/3 engaged, at 38+4 my little monkey has decided to try a new position, I was feeling very uncomfortable yesterday and looked very lopsided, and today I’m getting kicks in my left hand side, it has ALWAYS been my right. So I need to get the balance right between doing things to get baby back in the correct position, but not encouraging labour, who would have thought having a baby would be this complicated?!

xx

 

[mummySS]

mummymarsh, he was our first beach bump baby and will never be forgotten xx

Hann, hmmm suspicious coincidence - I think the acupuncture is working!!

And I agree Doods should get to go soon! And Bb, SB an Wez as they have all been suffering. X

 

[melissasbump]

Morning ladies,

Congrats to BV! Lovely news, hope you are baby Jillian are recovering well, cant wait for pics!

Clare, a gorgeous baby girl you have there! You must be a very proud mummy!

Wez, hope all is well with you!

Doodles, thinga are moving in the right direction for you, im sure you or B Bear will be next!

B Bear, try and stay positive, its really hard i know but we are sooo close now!!

Amanda,i think a few of us will be hanging out with you for a while yet!

Mummymarsh, big for you, thanks for staying around and supporting us

Kelz, likewise, it means a lot

Simmy, have a lovely day!

Hann, soundsl like your acupunture is doing the trick, that and ball bouncing!! Maybe you will be ahead of me after all!!

Caz, wouldnt it be funny if we were in labour at the same time!

Well AFM, Im knackered, i had a CRAP night sleep, as soon as i layed down started getting lower backache and BH/Cramping. The thing is i starteded over analyising it and was practically praying for my waters to go! Im so sad! lol. Anyway as a result im very very tired today so think will end up having a nap later. We have put plastic recycling bags underneath the matteress protecter and sheets on the bed in case my waters go, as apparently thats your mattress fooked if aminotic fluid gets in it! lol
My mum and stepdad just popped in for a cuppa on their way to london, have just left and now i can do nothing for the rest of the day. They even brought us some food for dinner tonight so i dont have to cook!

 

[melissasbump]

Tor, no we didnt DTD last night... i dont think he was that keen and blamed in on being tired! Huh! x

 

[mummySS]

Mel for a crappy night, it's so horrible isn't it, you just feel like a zombie. Def get a nap in later if you can.

Oh and good idea on the recycling bags! I already bought a waterproof mattress thing (it was only 3 quid from Tesco Extra - for a kingsize bed). Must get around to actually putting it on!

 

[Blue_bear]

I really ought to think about putting something on my mattress really.... :S Strange because ive been really concious of it going on my duvet, because its a nice feather one, lol.

I actually had a little run/jog earlier. Not in public i would like to add! I was in the horses field and did my best to have a bit of a jog round. Very quickly was out of breath!
Been on the ball since i got back and my back is a bit niggly so am thinking i might head out for a walk and see if anything comes of it.

Nice and sunny here today but not so warm thankfully! xx

 

[caz_hills]

Simmy - I agree, Doods should go next - hopefully things will move for you soon hun.

Melissa - yay on your folks bringing dinner around, that is brilliant - you can put your feet up now for the day and relax. I hope that you manage to get a nap in, I hate not having a good nights sleep. And boo to your hubbie for being too tired last night!!!!

Tor - how annoying that baby has moved - what a cheeky little monkey! Hopefully he/she will move back soon into place and get going.

Simmy - I looked online for a waterproof mattress cover but could only find ones which were lke £30. I might need to have a little trip to Tesco and see what I can find, £3 is a bargain!

 

[gw76]

mummymarsh

BV congrats! Great name choice! Enjoy every minute and take care,

gillian

 

[mummySS]

Caz, I know real bargain right - I just stumbled across it. It was in one of those MASSIVE tesco stores, in the home section. Hope you can find one!

 

[fifi-folle]

Hann you can get really cheap wedding bands in Argos, I got a white gold one for £18 a few months back, of course my fingers have swollen again so it's come off before it needed cut off (I still mourn the damage to my engagement and wedding rings, can't wait to get them fixed)

Congrats to BV on Jillian's arrival!!!

this baby has decided to stop having my in hesitant labour and just stop trying! Enjoying the break from the contractions but thinking baby is probably going to go overdue!
