March Mama's! 2012 :) - 33 pink , 24 blue and 17 yellow bumps! 33 Babies!!

[Glowstar]

OMG! yeah just seen it! looks like her little boy has arrived!!!

I want mine NOW we were due the same day....means I am officially the last due on this thread now!

OK...who dares phoning L&D with a 'story' so you can go up to be induced I know I bloody do..........so fed up now and I'm not even due yet

 

[Kel127]

Glow- I'm due on the 28th too! I'm sure I will be going over due

 

[firsttimer1]

Aww glow hunni, you dont wanna be induced (or do you - if so, go for it, no judgement here haha) LOL xxx it wont be long hunni ... i bet you will have yours before i do

what sort of birth are you planning? just a hospital one and see how it goes? or water? or home? xxx

 

[Glowstar]

Kel - you can join my pity party if you want

FT - hospital birth for me...especially with my history of bleeding I might get in the birthing pool but depends on how baby is doing etc or if I even have time as I laboured really quickly last time.
I'm just staying really open minded and will go with how I feel at the time...absolutely NO birth plan written here
The only thing I have to remember (and so does OH in case I forget) is to mention as soon as we get there about my history of bleeding and they will take blood and do a cross match straight away to make sure they have enough units in case I need it.

I'm slightly worried that OH works 26 miles away that's an hour trip back home if things kick off when he's not here and another 20 minutes to the hospital Nearest family member is 20 miles away....so about 45 minutes.

Oh wow... Joanna too!! She said she was getting all sorts of pains.
Congratulations again Mitch and Loo on your non-toddler baby girl

I'm still here Glow and as Daniel was late, can only assume same will happen again so I'll no doubt be around.

Missy - I'll read at another time. Yes, I know I've been through everything before but it was pretty traumatic and suppose I want to block the thought of labour out, until I'm actually in it. Glad you were happy with everything though.

MrsC - hope things progress, as the mw said, it might mean nothing. Let's face it, they have got estimated weight wrong on a few babies here on this thread so.just shows, not an exact science.

Don't you think newfielady gone quiet too??

 

[Glowstar]

Widger

Newfie posted on FB today I think 39+6 so assume she's still hanging on

 

[firsttimer1]

I wrote a birth plan Glow, but more to waste time then anything... not sure i will ACTUALLY bring it i prefer to go with flow. Im still unsure on ALOT of things (eg when to cut cord.. who we are calling and when) and kinda just wanna see what happens
I think you will have your little one this weekend....

at least if i AMMMMMM induced on the monday/tuesday then i will get to watch this saturdays footy and sundays F1 in peace But i just cant imagine STILL being pregnant this time next week

waula! Yup newfie is quiet but she's been on FB so no baby for her yet... xxx

 

[Widger]

Glow - I bled last time too so will have managed 3rd stage. I suppose I'm worried will happen again. Luckily hubby is on the case to mention it as I might not be in right frame of mind when entering delivery suite

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

missey - just read your birth story. it is really good and so detailed. very interesting. it does sound positive even though it wasnt the birth you envisaged. well done!

Joanna has had her baby?????!!!!! congrats to her but im not sure anyone else is going to be allowed to queue jump! lol

just catching up on what everyone has been up to this afternoon

 

[waula]

anyone know anything about milk coming in? boobs went massive/hard on day 2-3 but today are just pouring with milk...didn't realise it would come in twice!!!!!

Joanna congratulations hun!!!

Missy - with you on stinky stumps and sorry to hear your incision is possibly infected -hope the antibiotics get it sorted
xx

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

just read the last few posts:

lozza - glad you like the magazine. its a bargain isnt it! bit of fun anyway.

FT - i think you will need to get the cake re-iced as although the icing will probably edible wont it be a bit hard? i think fresh icing would be tastier but its up to you. im def re-icing mine.

nic and kymied - enjoy the cookie making. they really are super delicious. i think i might make some more to freeze.

i spent the afternoon wandering around M&S and then having some yummy carrot cake in the cafe with tea.

mum and I are planning on going for a v.posh afternoon tea in a local hotel on wednesday which will be fun. you never know having 'plans' might kick in sods law and labour might start to ruin my plans! lol

 

[citymouse]

Hurray for Joanna!

What about crowned? Anybody heard from her lately? Or am I on crack and have been talking to her all weekend and just had it melt out of my prego brain?

The thread is quiet but I'm sure once everyone gets home and settled things will pick up again!

I think we should come up with some sort of prize for the last March baby born. I wonder if mine will be it. Though I'm half expecting to be kept at the hospital after my appointment Wednesday for my blood pressure. I haven't checked it lately but I know it goes up from time to time. Ah! And the contractor just got here... I'm sure that will help it.

 

[lozza1uk]

Danielle's not due until April so there's a chance she could win the wooden spoon for last baby!
I've been struck down by this cold so would actually rather avoid labour for a couple of days as don't feel I could last the distance at the moment!

 

[Glowstar]

Waula - it could be he's not feeding as much as he was.....I can't remember what happened with mine I do remember them leaking regularly though so as long as they don't get engorged you should be fine. You'll know that feeling when they start to get really full

Widger - I'm having a managed 3rd stage too I don't want to be messing about want all dealings with my Foof sorted asap so I can enjoy baby without worrying. Also I was 2 weeks late with my first but only a day late with my 2nd so there's a really good chance you won't go overdue this time

Cupcake - Ooooo afternoon tea sounds lush! and you're right.....now you've made plans baby will make an appearance

Lozza - hope your cold goes away soon

City - Crowned was online last night so you need to put that crack away

FT - you have such a good relaxed attitude....towards pregnancy & labour so you are bound to make an amazing Mummy

I feel weirdly excited for all you first time Mamma's meeting your babies for the first time.....It really is the most amazing feeling and you really do feel like you're the ONLY person in the world to have done it!!!

I'm putting a bet on with OH that the first words that come out of his Mum's mouth are 'Oh he looks just like Steven' anyone else think that will be EXACTLY what their MIL will say???

 

[citymouse]

I'm thinking my MIL will walk into our house, look around, and say, "See? I told you you'd want my help right away!"

And then I'll say, "Nope, and to be honest I still don't."

 

[lozza1uk]

Glow - YES! Mil already said the 20 week scan looks like Nathan!! Deluded.

 

[Glowstar]

City and Lozza!!!

Because I'm bored thought I'd post a bump shot...last one taken today.

[Mrs Cupcake]

great bump progression glow - tattoo still holding up well from what i can see.

am i winning the prize for most overdue march mama at the mo? followed closely by Ft and lozza i think.

 

[Glowstar]

Yes Tat it holding up OK...no wonder what it will look like after though

Yes Cupcake I think you are the most overdue so the laws of averages say it HAS to be your turn next

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

hmm... not convinced i'll be next personally.... lol. Still im hoping so!

i keep meaning to take another bump photo. i did have some video taken of my yesterday on the beach showing off the bump in all its glory. Thought it might be fun to have 'before' and 'after' footage!

i have been looking at clothes to wear this summer today. I think i am longing for the summer and i am drawn to pretty summer dresses and swimwear!
