June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[Becyboo__x]

It's defiantly not going to be me announcing yet

I don't think it was my waters I've had nothing on pad since and laying down to standing up isn't doing anything I think it would be still leaking even a little if it was that .. Nothing came of it either, she's moving around as usual no sign of infection etc

 

[karlilay]

A week to go for me. No signs at all. Baby has tucked herself behind my placenta I think she's very quiet, but heart rate is steady and she's happy.

She's 3/5th engaged. So maybe not long. Although I'm in no rush

 

[Becyboo__x]

What do I do, just take a pain killer and see if that helps. He only time I remember cramps like this was my first period after coming off the pill. It is so sore it is making me feel sick. I feel like such a sissy. I'm assuming I don't need to phone the hospital or anything??

Hope your okay

Buying the last few bits for baby and I have forgotten so much!

What did/do/will you ladies use to moisurose baby? I've read good things about coconut oil but hubby hates the smell, anyone use almond oil? Or are nuts a no-no? I read olive oil creates too much of a barrier? I think we used it last time. Any advice?

 

[Becyboo__x]

I just use baby oil if needs be but otherwise just normal supermarket ones always been okay with them, I have to get anything with nothing added though due to eczema and sensitive skin I seem to pass on ..

I've not really thought about it if I'm honest bath things seem to be one thing I've forgotten about

 

[Boo44]

Eek I'm so excited! Especially to hear which names you all choose and to see what our one yellow baby turns out to be!!

Come on labours!!

Hi everyone, this thread moves so fast! I haven't been contributing much as i've still been at work and i'm a few weeks behind so wasn't quite in the same end of pregnancy headspace yet. However, I finished work yesterday so I'm hoping to catch up with everything over the next couple of days! So exciting that some babies could be arriving soon , and I can't believe it is june next week!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Joey how are you today?? X

I was expecting there to possibly be a new baby or two today as well! It's a very good possibility this time next week there will be a few more!

Angel I think I'll just use plain water for washing baby and not bother with moisturiser? I liked the burt bees stuff for DS as it smells lovely but kept reading plain water is best, DS ended up with eczema anyway as a toddler which we had aveeno cream for

I'm getting last minute bits too. I need some shades for the car windows and a changing bag. All the changing bags I like are expensive but I'm starting to think it's going to be my bag for a good year or so and go everywhere with me so may as well get something I love. I need a carrier or sling as well but it's so mind boggling I'm putting that off until baby is here!

 

[Dory85]

We don't use any products really. My son was prescribed aveeno for his eczema buy I'm even a bit anti baby wipes for disposable nappy changes.
All those chemicals can't be good for newborn skin? I know baby massage groups I've been to have used a mixture of almond oil and veg oil when there's no history of allergies.

 

[Tinky_82]

Anything going on with you Starlight? You sounded pretty close yesterday.
Angel I just used water at the beginning and a bit of baby oil or olive oil if needed. Then later progressed to lavender based baby stuff.

 

[jalilma]

So exciting listening to all the pre-labor baby stuff.... However, this is where you will find me for the next few weeks! It's been so hot the last few days I could cry!

 

[wishuwerehere]

I would use grapeseed oil which is a neutral carrier oil for massage. You can drop a bit of lavender oil in when they get bigger too

 

[mommyxofxone]

wow nothing from some of the ladies! i wonder if they've gone into labor?

we dtd last night as the eviction time has started. So we're going to try to dtd everyday until baby comes out. baby's movements seem to have changed slightly since it too. Not as painful (although he was very painful last night) but sometimes he changes things up and will strike at a not normal time. trying not to be concerned. I know he's seemed to have move to a good birth position as i know hes facing the right way for sure, and his foot was up high near my ribcage. I didn't sleep well. had some bh, pressure low down like i had to make a bm and didn't, and some menstrual like cramping. just weird pains.

just hoping it's soon cause he hurts. he's moved already this am- but normally in about a half hour he wakes for the day and starts beating on me, so if nothing around then i guess i can ring in. really hoping i don't have to.

 

[Starlight32]

Joey, I hope you're doing ok!

Squig, how are movements now?

The constant bh stopped around 630pm last night. I had a few this morning on and off but they haven't been very bothersome. I can feel baby so low today!

 

[Squig34]

Ooh still hoping to hear of some babies then! I don't want Squiggle arriving before Thursday so seeing some pics of other ladies babies in the meantime would be great

We went this morning to get shown how to fit the car seat do that's probably the last really major thing we had to do. Still need to do a bit of packing. All was fine with CTG this morning as expected

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Jaililma must be hard with it being so hot, we've only had one or two really hot days where I am in England but it's so true how much more you feel the heat! There's not really been a proper summer here yet so I don't think we'll get the very hot weather (or what we regard as hot lol) until after baby is here.

Hope you're feeling more comfortable soon mommy, I'm not trying any eviction methods I can't be bothered, DTD also seems completely unappealing to me the past couple of weeks and still does at the moment. I can't see it happening before baby arrives then it's another six week wait

 

[mommyxofxone]

It's 88 here today and not even mid day so not the hottest yet. Enjoyed a nice hour in the baby pool with my girl as well. Yikes to hot days!

 

[AngelofTroy]

I swear it feels like she's trying to scratch her way out of my cervix.. Eek. Her head was engaged on Tuesday so surely she can't have her hands there?

 

[Starlight32]

Is way too hot here but I think it's only going to get hotter as the summer goes on!

Bh stil going on and off. I don't see baby girl coming anytime soon though!

 

[Squig34]

O_O Angel!

Starlight we cross posted earlier so I didn't see your message, thanks for asking - baby has been sticking her limbs into me so although I'm not feeling tons of movement (I am feeling some), I know she's moving cos I keep getting wee hard lumps

Going out for a meal tonight; must be the first time in a week or more that I've bothered to put makeup on
