Loving online shopping right now!! I've even started my Christmas shopping, online of course!! Lol. How women worked full time and managed to buy the essentials for baby before finishing work before Internet shopping existed I'll never know.
 
I know! Bless them! I couldn't do it. I just ordered our chaning table. I feel much better. Now all we NEED before she comes is the carseat. Hoping it will go on sale soon, if not I will buy it next week.
 
This is why i love this forum. Glad i'm not alone in panicking!
 
We also have a lot to do (and buy) before the baby comes! I have a shower this weekend so I'm going to wait and see what kind of goodies I get and then go on shopping binge if needed after. I do feel strange about the whole idea of a shower and people giving me gifts, but I've been to so many and don't mind doing it for friends and family so I hope no one is dreading coming to mine. They could've rsvp'd no if they didn't want to.

I just spent a good chunk of time watching birthing videos online. I'm hoping for a water birth and there's a lot of those on YouTube. I had to stop as I was getting so emotional. I'm such a cry baby lately.
 
good idea! My friend told me to watch a few birthing videos so I know what to expect. I didn't know where to look. I forgot youtube has everything lol.
 
Sbmack, I felt a bit strange in the run up to my shower. Mainly because they aren't very common here. I kept saying to everyone that it was a girls day to celebrate this baby but that they didn't need to bring gifts. Of course they all did and it was a truly lovely day. Several hadn't met each other before so I wondered how it'd be but everyone got on great and shared ttc, pregnancy and birth stories. The next day, I got online and ordered the majority of bits that we needed but didn't get at the shower.

I can't even watch One Born Every Minute at the moment without crying so daren't hit the birthing videos on YouTube. I'd be a mess!! Lol.
 
I cant wait for LO to be here time is going so sloooowly! I just wish i could sleep past the birth part! Hehe!

Went for a walk this eve and im feeling bub .must have moved down as im feeling a lot more pressure behind the pubic bone. I really dont think he wants to wait another full 6 weeks. Should i feel so much pressure at this stage?

Oh im addicted to watchin youtube births i cry every time!
 
All of the online shopping comments got me browsing sites. I ended up ordering some cloth diapers and covers. There was a sale that ends in a few days so I had to :) I got 15% off and free shipping so I'm not feeling too bad about my purchase.
 
All was fine with baby when I we went for monitoring, he was kicking away on the monitor like a mini boxer. :)
I remember how worried and unorganised i felt first time around. Although I don't feel as flustered this time, i do feel like i'm going to struggle dividing my time between 3 children.

EPO-i used this with DS hoping it would help to prevent me tearing again, unfortunately it didn't work, and i had a second 3rd degree tear. I personally thing the massage is better to prevent tearing, wish i'd have tried it.
 
This may be a strange question- but how does the massage work? Do you do it yourself?

Yes it is normal.... i had that with Mason for 1 month or 2 before, he didnt come until almost 2 weeks late :) One thing i learned is to take every "sign" with a grain of salt because only the baby will decide when he or she wants to come... lol. Sometimes they like to play "games" with you ;)

As for all you first time ladies, it is 100% normal to feel that way. I know i felt that way... i hated holding other peoples babies because i felt like i was being "judged" almost. Once my baby came all the mommy instincts came poring in :) You will all do great. I am not saying its going to be easy right off the bat, its a learning curve for everyone (DH,baby and you) but with time everything will fall into place .

This! You aren't going to be perfect right away and that is okay. To tell you a secret, you never will be. We all learn new things about our kids and ways of dealing with them every day. Take it day by day and you will all do just fine!

I also feel like baby won't be in there the full 40 weeks. :wacko: My body feels like it's giving up on me!

He's due Oct 2nd but I really think he's going to end up a September baby.

Two separate midwives have told me they "have a feeling" he'll be early - never given a reason but he's been "on the brim" of engaging for a week now and apparently second babies don't normally engage until labour? :shrug: Obviously they can't really predict and I'm taking it with a pinch of salt but I really don't feel my body can go on like this for another 4 weeks! :nope:

These last 2 days I've had so much pressure and pain in my pelvis, he's just so low and everyone who sees me says they can't believe I've still another 4 weeks left! :wacko:

I've got my VBAC discussion with the consultant on Wednesday so will see what she thinks. :wacko:
