June Bundles of Joy - 2016

[AngelofTroy]

Happy 38 weeks Tinky

2 days til I'm due!

Is anyone or has anyone felt the urge they need to go to the toilet constantly? (#2) but can't go .. It's not constipation etc I'm getting pain in my lower back and bum on/off I read about it and obviously all I find is its a sign needing to go but can't and it could be contractions starting but I don't think it is that's just my instincts though but I've had on/off pains since last night

Yes i have the same feeling i just think it is baby really low.

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Really hope she flips geralyn you never know

I have such a long list of things to do. Been concentrating on my exam so can't wait until that's over tomorrow. Then I need to do a massive clean, tackle about two huge ironing piles, wash and dry all the baby clothes and bedding, buy a mattress for the cot, put some bits in the loft and do a big shop to stock up on food and toiletries and cleaning products. We also have some blinds to fit and a few little DIY jobs. DH was saying he hoped baby comes in the next couple of days so he gets out of going to some boring long meetings at work and I was just thinking 'umm no!' He seems oblivious to everything that needs doing

1 week exactly until my scan where I'll find out if they want to induce or not. I'm scared of induction but to be honest with having DS to sort childcare for and the hospital being a forty min drive it would have its advantages.

Is anyone else getting that lady in her bra pop up on EVERY single page on the forum? For me it's constant and i have a blocker on. (sorry off topic haha)

No nesting for me i'm far too lazy/miserable. I'm basically using half term as an excuse to not move from the couch. One of my children is in his pjs still haha, i just couldn't be bothered arguing with him. They have had the tv on in their playroom all day.
in my defense it is tipping buckets outside so not like we could be doing much

exciting that we will have more babies soon well one for sure this week!

36 weeks finally! I want to be at the point where i can say things like "i hope she comes soon" without feeling guilty (iykwim?)
I feel huge. I'm the biggest i have ever been! I know i have had enough as i am already buying my non maternity clothes for summer. lmao. Constant deliveries of clothes i'm praying will fit

Last weeks bump pic!

 

[AngelofTroy]

I'm almost hoping for induction again, but i dont want to go overdue. :/ I am just so scared about the uncertainty of natural labour not knowing when it will happen and especially knowing at what point to go in. Im ao anxious today i feel like my heart is jumping out of my chest.

 

[Boo44]

So happy for you squig!!

Re the C section - I had 2 and never found a problem with my milk coming in it was about day 4 with both which is quite average. I wasn't readmitted with either

 

[Squig34]

Did you say you're definitely having a section if baby doesn't turn Geralyn, or will you try a breech delivery?

Angel. Don't forget you can ring for advice anytime you need! When I was at Admissions the other day, a girl rang in who thought her waters had broken so the midwife said to put on a big sanitary pad (ie not just a liner) & if it was soaked through in an hour, to call back. I guess it was soaked as I'm pretty sure she rang back. & had to bring the pad.

Tinkerbelle, induction isn't so bad - it's not the same process anymore where they keep giving you pessaries for days if they don't work the first time! But hopefully baby will be good & come on her due date

Yout only need wait another week then Rhi, & then you're good to go! Epic bump

I'm first on the list on Thursday, yay! so a) hopefully less chance of getting bumped & b) we should be cuddling our girl in less than 48 hours!! Have to be there at 7.30am. Plus I can have sips of water til 6am, so I should be in pretty reasonable shape compared to the poor girls who have to wait til later & will be hungry & thirsty!

 

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Squig I'm insanely jealous haha. how exciting!!

 

[karlilay]

Im soooooooooooo jealous too!

 

[tinkerbelle93]

Lol rhi I've had the same problems with the bra lady taking over my ipad screen every time I click on anything! So annoying.

 

[Boo44]

I wish that bra lady would do one!!!!

 

[Boo44]

lol Rhi I was like that, I bought a few little normal clothes bits for summer and hung them in my wardrobe and can start wearing them now!

Have you all decided on names then?

 

[Becyboo__x]

Same with the bra lady
It's not even just once it's every single time go onto anything! Worse on phone as it's hard to close it

I finally decided on a name thankfully took long enough but relieved!

 

[GeralynB]

The group of midwives I'm with won't deliver breech so I would have to have a section if she doesn't flip. If I do need a section I'm going to get my tubes tied at the same time.
Ladies that had vaginal and section...any difference in recovery?

 

[Squig34]

Yep we've had Squiggle's name chosen for ages - years - but we're not using it til she's born - we don't use it between ourselves even; I don't even use it to myself. But it will be revealed if all goes well on Thursday

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Geralyn I did notice a big difference in recovery. Honestly I didn't find the section very painful at all but it definitely took a lot longer for me to feel mobile. I remember struggling to walk and move around at home after the section so at least 5 days pp, whereas with the natural birth I was in a massive amount of pain for the first two days (even the soles of my feet were killing!) But my day 3/4 it mostly felt like nothing had ever happened.

It took months for me to get up off the floor without help after the section. Again not because of pain but I just didn't have the same strength or mobility

:squig: it's just one more day and you'll have little squiggle in your arms. Fingers crossed you don't have to wait on Thursday morning! Eeek I'm so excited

 

[tinkerbelle93]

So stuck on names!

We were pretty set on George for a boy for ages and I thought it would probably be the one but then been having a rethink over the past few weeks. I really like Archie and think its lovely with Oliver (DS) but my parents and a lot of others aren't keen. But I love it. DH likes Henry best now and it was my great grandads name so a strong possibility too. Middle name will be Edward for my dad but our last name starts with wood so thinking it won't flow well and I need to put another name after it??

Girls names we are not sure of at all. I like Emily, Abigail and Alice at the moment.

 

[Lil_Pixie]

Dh took a few pics at his parents house yesterday. I look like a div but I love this pic

[Rhi_Rhi1]

Lovely pic pixie! Cute =)

This baby has been Alice since basically day one. =) it was our girl name if our youngest had been a girl. My favourite name ever =) just struggling with middle names atm.

 

[Teeny Weeny]

Pixie, what a gorgeous photo. Xx

I don't have a name picked yet. I'm not bothered as I'm sure she will 'look' like a name. I hope so anyway!

Rhi, your bump is gorgeous. Xx
