March 2010 Mummies!!

[bigbloomerz]

I'm half packed, going to finish tonight!

I still have my MP3 player to upload my "labour playlist" onto and also a list of contact numbers to add just incase my mobile stops working, its not been very reliable past few weeks!

Is anyone hiring a TENS machine? xx

Whoo had my scan this morning and all is great!!

Placenta has moved, no longer low and they measured him and said that his measurements couldn't be more perfect they are exactly what he should be, he's not little and not big just right.

Can't wait to meet him now, ahh but the sonographer said he hasn't got a lot of room, his knees are right up by his head, lol. He had his hand up by his face too and was wiggling his fingers, so cute.

Feel great today now, how is everyone elses Friday going? xx

Hmm i'm not sure whether to or not, only one of my friends hired one, but then she swore it worked so i am thinking of it x

 

[bigbloomerz]

Glad the scan went well hun! did you get any pics? Im gonna buy a TENS instea dof hiring one, apparently they can be useful for other ailments aswell so its worth a try, if not i'll resellf it on Ebay lol xx

 

[jj-rabbit]

No didn't get offered any pics, and felt kinda funny asking as we'd gone for her to check things but did still think they might have mentioned it. Oh we'll he'll be here soon enough!

E-bay is great for things you no longer have a use for, i've sold loads lately! How much are the TENS to buy then, i hadn't considering buying was just thinking of hiring but may be worth buying if not too much dearer? I'll have to see if anywhere has any offers on them x

 

[DueMarch2nd]

I think they are around £30 to buy. I havent priced them up because i am not getting one so maybe you can find them cheaper

My bag has been packed for a while now.All it needs is the last minute items and i havent got all my snacks sorted yet. I'll get those done around 38 weeks or so. The last minute things i will pack once the contractions start. They say it is good to move around and i figure i will feel a bit useless walking around the house with nothing to do. My kitties would be following me from room to room thinking i am crazy lol Knowing how long early labour can take, i figure i will pack my bag and probably tidy up the house. But then again, if i go overdue i can just picture myself doing that stuff in my 40th week and anything i need from the bag just digging it out like at a hotel I can imagine how clean the house will be if i go overdue. It is already a lot neater than usual. If i have my husband pause something we are watching for me to go make a cuppa tea or go to the bathroom he usually has to come find me because i find something that needs sorted lol And he hates when i find a job for him to do lol

The ones to hire in uk vary from 25 - 40 for 6 weeks hire, im buying one for £53, its the one most people have recommended to me, ordering it tommorow, so hopefully it should be here by the end of the week!

I keep forgetting this thread is here!

I bought a TENS off eBay the other day - it's a Babycare Femme one (the same people who make the Elle ones) I managed to win the auction for £25 with just under £3 for p&p - so only a tiny amount more than it would cost to hire one. Can't wait to try it! My mum used only TENS and G&A with all 3 of her kids, hoping I can do the same!

Just realised that I never joined this thread because I originally thought my EDD was beginning of April

£50 a week - how cheap! hahaha!

It looks like a good one, they just seem a bit fiddly and complicated. I have been looking at those therma-heat pad things they keep advertising on the telly too!

Done xx

 

[bigbloomerz]

Ended up hiring a TENS machine from Boots, waiting to see what its like when it arrives, Nurse said to me on Monday If I have an induction or end up needing a C Section there wont be much point in me having it, so think £60 is a lot to pay for something i may or may not use!

Sorry Dee! if its any good will let you know which one it is and prices and so on.xx

 

[JessiHD]

My mum uses a TENS for her chronic back pain and it's doing the world of good. Will be using mine for my bad shoulder after labour, so even if it doesn't help that much in labour it won't be a waste of money.

 

[CocoaOne]

I bought a Femme TENS off eBay for £25. My mum only used G&A and TENS in her labours so I'm hoping it helps me too. Got a feeling my back will suffer most in labour.
