Lucky thread

[baileybubs]

Aw Tawn that really sucks!!! I can't believe they aren't offering to help! I am really lucky that I have so much family around, I've got SIL down the road too who's always willing to help. And I do feel very well looked after. I just wish df could drive then I wouldn't be so worried about everyone else being at work lol!! But after today MIL is off til Tuesday coz of Easter and then from Tuesday my mum is off for 10 days so she's gonna come and stay with us (much to df's annoyance lol, but he can sod off, he's at work all the time anyway!).

Yeah df should be able to have the week off after she's born so that's good. Just a shame it can't be two weeks coz I feel like he won't get much bonding time with her.

 

[Tawn]

That works out so perfectly that MIL is off this weekend and then your mum will be there after that! And yes, your DF doesn't sound like he is around much anyway, so he can sod off lol! You deserve to have you mum there, pampering and taking care of you in those last few days!

Aww hun, I am sure a week will be good bonding time for him and Millie. It does suck that he doesn't get 2 weeks, but I am sure he will be spending ALL of his free time at home after she is here to get loads of cuddles in, so it will feel like a lot more than it does now.

 

[baileybubs]

Yeah that's definately true, I think he'll be racing out of work once she's here so he can see her.

Have you managed to get plans sorted for stepson when you go into labour then? Still can't believe his own grandparents aren't offering to help!

Have you got your hospital bag packed yet? I'm so glad I got Millie a little coat seen as its still so cold!! I bought it and wondered if I would actually use it before she got too big coz I expected the weather to be warmer by now but it's freezing!

Morning ladies

Hope you are all ok today.

Bailey hope the mw goes well and your bp is where it should be. Are you still getting lots of cramping etc?

Tawn I can't believe SS grandparents didn't offer to have him when you go to the hospital, maybe you'll have to just come out and ask them? Your pram is lovely, very cute with the dots .

Mrs d how are you?

Amy how did Emily's visit to hubs work go?

Cath I agree with the others come back! We miss you!

Shellie hope you O soon.

Cheryl I looked on the Joolz website that's a nice set you have, I like the earth collection one in the elephant grey. They stock joolz in the baby shop down the road from me luckily so I may look at that make to.

AFM I'm feeling a bit achy today and getting some RLP since all the walking yesterday. I also think sometimes I feel a bit of pressure in my lady parts, I know baby only weighs like 4 oz at the moment so is it normal to feel something yet? I'm a bit paranoid that 2 erpcs has weakened my cervix and I'm gonna have an incompetent cervix now. I think I got the hormones today to, really teary for no reason whatsoever.

Morning cupcake!

My MW appt was fine, BP stil 130/90 which is what its been steadily now so gotta go back next week again as its obviously risen for some reason coz all through pregnancy its been 110/70 until 2 weeks ago. Otherwise all looking good and she said next week we will talk about booking for a sweep after I reach 40 weeks.

I think its normal to feel pressure in your lady parts hun because everything is growing and stretching, your pelvis is widening to accomodate baby. And I deffo dont think 2 erpc's will have caused any problems with your cervix making it incompetent hun, its no different from having an induction of labour really and loads of women have many of those with their births. Does that make sense? Plus I had the tablets 3 times to open my cervix and then had to have someone physically dilate my cervix to get rid of the remaining tissue and everything has been fine with me cervix-wise.

Oh and yes I am still getting cramping on and off, MW today said its usually a lot to do with baby engaging so causing cervix to lower, soften and begin to dilate (here's hoping!!)

 

[baileybubs]

PS I hate the tearyness for no reason, it hits me in random waves and then its gone again just as quickly!! Just give yourself a little treat thats what I do lol xx

 

[cupcake1981]

Aw all sounds promising for you that it won't be long hun! Isn't it quite normal for your bp to get a bit higher at this point? How do you feel about the sweep? I've heard sex is much more effective than a sweep cos if the prostaglandins in semen. Needs must lol altho I'm sure it's the last thing you fancy!

Lol you know how I need to have something to worry about dont you, I'm not happy unless I'm worrying.

I'm bored today hubs doesn't want to go out and I'm fed up x

 

[baileybubs]

Aw thats a pain hun, can you not persuade him to go out for lunch or something?

Think me and df will try dtd after the Easter weekend is over, I miss it to be honest!! But I just know how uncomfortable it felt last time, as much as I wanted to enjoy it I knew I wasnt going to, but as long as df enjoys himself it might do the trick haha!!

I know about the worry, I still worry about everything too, still worry about her moving from time to time, usually in the morning when she tends to be asleep.
The worry will never end now cupcake!! Joys of being a mother!!

 

[cupcake1981]

Hes making soup so won't wanna go out for lunch. I bought some bits in H&M the other day that need to go (my continued maternity clothes saga) so I could go to town I suppose x

Lol like I said to Amy the other day it's been so long for him it'll be quick and might just do the trick!

 

[baileybubs]

Haha yeah I'm sure it will be very quick lol. Him and my mum are both quite busy at work all weekend with it being Easter so I suggested it then thought better and thought we should maybe leave it lol. Plus they say it wont have any effect unless your body is ready anyway so maybe trying it closer to my EDD will have more effect lol.

Are you not having much luck with maternity clothes hun?

 

[cupcake1981]

True you don't want to go into labour and notbe able to get to the hospital!

I have a couple of bits but I'm finding it really hard to find stuff.

 

[baileybubs]

Its a bit awkward in 2nd tri isnt it coz the over the bump stuff is too big but normal clothes are too small!! In a way I think I was lucky that I seemed to be all bump quite early (although that lead to all the "you're so big, are you sure theres only one in there" comments!). One thing I didnt like wearing was under the bump jeans, I felt like my bladder and pelvis was being squashed!

 

[cupcake1981]

Yeah it is! I live in leggings but finding tops that are long enough to cover my ass is not easy, everything seems short like you'd wear with jeans, and I hate wearing jeans and haven't found any mat ones yet x

 

[baileybubs]

I found that things like jumper dresses are good for covering my bum when wearing leggings, and you dont always have to get maternity ones, depends on the material.

 

[MrsDuck]

Tawn that's awful I can't believe your in laws didn't offer to help

Cupcake I'm sure all is fine with your cervix hun, remember this is your rainbow xx

Bailey, I'm still saying this weekend xx

Afm I think I had my lowest day yesterday and I'm now through the other side yay I think my skin and throat is now starting to heal xx

 

[baileybubs]

So glad you feel better today, hope that was really the worst of it for you hun!

Yeah I am sure she will arrive this weekend just to be awkward lol! Like her mummy haha!

Well, I have now made fruit scones, cheese scones are in the oven and I am contemplating making chocolate cupcakes now lol!! Oooh I wonder if I can find a chocolate peanut butter cupcake recipe.....I have peanut butter in and I love it!!

 

[MrsDuck]

Great idea to do lots of baking then you'll have some goodies to offer your visitors, they'll think you are superhuman xx

 

[baileybubs]

If I don't eat them all first haha!

 

[baileybubs]

It's all been quiet on here the past few days, everyone ok or just busy busy bees?

I went for a lie down at 5pm and just woke up! That's me wide awake in the middle of the night now tonight!

 

[cupcake1981]

I've been thinking the same Bailey! Altho it's always quiet on here when I'm around to chat!
