I felt like that all the way through last time, and really couldn't see me ending up with a baby. It was too surreal, and just felt like it would never happen. I kept thinking something would just go wrong too. In fact I dont think it actually felt real until she was born and in my arms. I think I made a post last time about it actually

Again, apologies for the downer post ha ha. Anyway.. I now have an almost 3 year old sharing my bed, demanding to watch morning TV, while I dodge a buzz light year she's trying to shove in my face :-o I think it's normal to worry and think the worst, it's just because we care so much for these babies we're growing xxx
 
I'm sure everything will be fine, like you say it just seems surreal. I can't wait to have a buzz lightyear shoved in my face! Lol. Everyone keeps saying they don't think i'll make it to my due date so fingers crossed not long to wait! It will be interesting to see who pops first! Isn't maze having a c section so should have a definate date soon?
 
On the front page it says she's got a scheduled section 24th September, so unless somebody else gets there first she's going to be the first person so far we know who'll have a baby before October!

Ha ha, just be careful. Buzz light years are bulky! nearly gave me a concussion :haha:
 
I would be pretty surprised if someone didn't go before me, in any group I've been in there is always one or two who go a month early.

It has been pretty fun to say 'next month' though. When people ask, 'when will the baby be here?' saying 'next month' is ultra satisfying

Also, whenever something big and exciting is coming up I always think I won't get there. I've been that way for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid on my first trip to Disney I thought the plane would go down. When I was getting close to delivering Sophie I was worried I wouldn't make it through the operation, sure enough the same fear is rearing its head this time. The fact that my previous two sections took place in much bigger hospitals and this time I am scheduled in a community hospital certainly doesn't help.
 
I hear ya about thinking like that Maze, I'm a bit of a pessimist. I'm sure everything will go great. It's just hard to believe it some times.

Also...the groups I've been a member of before now have always had someone go at least a month early too. I think we'll have a few babies by the end of September. ;)
 
Eek exciting.

When people start going home towards the end of the day i always think yay it's me soon, so hopefully it'll be the same with babies and it might help speed up those last few weeks!!
 
Hey guys long home no speak!! Hope you don't mind me coming back on board a bit......has been a really really rough few months.....my cousin died suddenly in an accident and my sister passed away suddenly and I have just been trying to deal with it all. I haven't been actively posting but I have been stalking and kind of hoping to get into posting properly as I feel that chatting with you guys might actually help me.

Well latest development of my 2013 is that I have been having early contractions since 27 weeks!! I was in hospital for a week where they gave me 4 steroid shots over 4 days to mature the lungs and although the contractions are still extremely painful and I am having 5 or 6 an hour ......day and night they don't seem to be dilating my cervix currently and baba seems to be staying put for now. Phew!

Was at the consultant this week and he said that I really could go any time....:-0 said baby really low and contractions very strong......he said he would love to get me to at least 34 weeks but at least the steroid injections have already been given for babas lungs so that is a little bit of comfort. So really I am just trying to hang in there and breathe through the pain which I have now had for over 3 weeks! Don't want to complain though as that means it is 3 and a half weeks that I have managed to keep baba in my tum instead of out in the big bad world!! So sorry for the long message and it must seem like I am complaining and honestly I am not i am grateful that the little one is still safe inside for now but it has all been very scary and stressful!

So there may well be someone going early afterall!! We shall see I am just going from bed to sofa to bed again to try and keep baba in!

Really hope you are all ok and sorry again for big post and being absent......hope to be about more now.....:-)
 
Hi twinkletoe, welcome back! So sorry to hear about your sister and your cousin. That's really awful. Sounds a bit stressful on the baby front too! Fx he/she keeps cooking for a bit longer! Do you know if you are having a girl or a boy? XX
 
I am actually going through the same thing Twinkletoes. I have been getting 3-4 contractions an hour for 2 and a half weeks and have been given the steroid shots as well. Contractions aren't changing my cervix either. My goal was 32 weeks, which I already hit so now I am taking it a week at a time. I'd like to make it to my scheduled c-section date of September 24th at 39 weeks, my doctor seems to think that is a bit ambitious but I have my fingers crossed.

So you're not alone in this!

I am sorry about all the other issues you have had during your pregnancy, I remember them from when you posted about them initially. Glad to see you back. :hugs:
 
I keep having Braxton hicks all the time. Day before yesterday, I probably had ten or so until I drank some water and took a bath. I can't imagine having full blown contractions when BH are distracting enough! Feeling for you ladies.

I definitely get the "it won't happen" feeling myself. But I am starting to get nervous about labor and all that. Anytime I so much as stub my toe, I freak out about how much labor is going to hurt. I'm a spaz, haha. I won't mind if she comes early, but I really, really want an October baby!

Nursery is done!!!! Yay!!!!

Really nice to know I'm but alone maze!! It's just horrendous! :-/ I haven't slept for more than 15 minutes in one sitting in 3 and a half weeks but I am hanging in there for baba! We really are going through the same thing.....what are the chances?! Hope you can hang in there as long as you can......its just a wait and see at this point!
 
Thanks goddess.......I am hanging in there it's just nice to have made contact with some lovely girlies again.

Girlnboots I just love love your nursery!! So cute! We have nothing done yet!! :-/ only got my .......first baby grow today and that was a present! Really need to get going on all that but now that I am sofa bound in think online ordering is going to become my best friend!
 
Hi twinkles! :hi:

So good to hear from you! I've been wondering how you've been holding up. Sorry to hear you're having the same issues as Maze. I hope you both keep your bubs in there for a while longer :hugs: and that you get some more sleep, Twinkle.

Nice nursery, Grin! We haven't started ours yet.....
 
I won't be doing a nursery for awhile. I will have the baby in my room for about 6mths. So no rush for me.
 
She'll be in our room for awhile, but we have 2 pain in the ass dogs, so we want to keep her stuff separate away from dander and such.

How long do you ladies recommend cosleeping/room sharing?
 
Im sorry to hear about your family twinkletoes... and i hope you baba stays put!

GB- Nursery looks great!
 
Nice to see you back twinkle. Sorry you and maze are going through it but you're both doing well keeping those babies cooking!

Girlin, we're getting there with the nursery but haven't put the cot up yet. I want it finished before my baby shower in 2 weeks. We will have baby in our room until he/she grows out of the crib, then he/she will move into the nursery.
 
Good to see you Twinkle, I'm so sorry about the family news that must have been quite a shock. I hope you're okay :hugs: Also hope that baby stays put for you until around 36 weeks. Big hugs hunny!

Love your nursery Girlnboots, it's looking really pretty :-)

Baby will be sleeping in OH and I's room also from when she's born. We've bought a little crib to put in our room next to our bed for her to sleep in. DD slept in our room in a moses basket up until she was around 3 months and then we moved her in to her own room and she settled really well.
We already have the nursery sorted out though.

Thought I would share my 29 week bump pic. I was already chubby/overweight anyway but does anybody else feel like their face has just ballooned!? my face is so chubby compared to prepregnancy!
