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

[Glowstar]

I've been banned from making any more cakes as OH is complaining he's getting fat

 

[firsttimer1]

USA ladies- have u ALL been offered sweeps as early as week38? I keep seeing threads in third tri where ladies are being offered induction and sweeps at week 38... i find that sooo odd? I mean, if the dating is out by a week then a baby may only JUST be ''full term at 37 weeks at that point? i understand offering it all at 40week+ but it just seems sooooo early. Maybe its something to do with money?? not surehow though. Oh and im not ranting - just confused LOL xxx

Glow - my DH is sooooo funny. He is very thin but has this little pot belly..... really small one... but i think its 100% pie and cake

well cake is out. back to being bored. come on digs.... give me a sign

I went to over 41 weeks with my son and was never offered a sweep! I haven't been offered one this time either.
I have a friend that is giving birth at a birthing center and her midwife gave her a sweep yesterday at 39 weeks, but that is because she was already 3cm dialated.

 

[waula]

so much scratching and sniffing going on today! i'm excited for you guys!!!!!

 

[Glowstar]

Mines the same FT..he's right weight and everything for his height but has a little 'pooch' low down...I like it actually because it's hairy like a little rug

I'm bored too going to go and paint my nails I think as OH did my toes the other night. So hair is done, toe nails done, masacred my minky and now need to paint nails.....I'm ready baby!!! Another week of this is going to tip me over the edge

 

[firsttimer1]

im excited too even if it means i then become the most overdue

i keep getting this heavy feeling down below today like the baby is literally going to fall out. Thats got to be good right? means at least that SOMETHING is happening? prob just wishful thinking. lol.

 

[Glowstar]

Kel I am getting a S&S on Friday at 39+2....hoping she can do it as with this being my third I'm hoping I've got a cervix like a wheelie bin and she can give it a good sweep

 

[firsttimer1]

Glow - can we go in with painted nails for the birth (thinking of c-sec)? if so i think i might paint mine too

 

[Glowstar]

Well I am FT...can't remember if I did with the girls...more than likely as 9/10 they are always painted. If you need to go to theatre they just take it off for you anyway

 

[lauraclili]

Ft, they took my nail varnish (clear) off my hands and my pedicure varnish off my feet when I had my c-section.

 

[kymied]

My feet are still swollen, my left foot wobbles when I walk. I think it's because I slept on my left side so it wasn't as elevated.

I haven't been offered a sweep yet even thought the midwife said I was almost 3 cm last Friday. I'm asking for one today though. I think their policy is to only do them after 40 weeks. My friend who went to the same people got one at 39+5 because she cried to the doctor. And it worked! I'm so stressed now I might cry too.

Hubby was very concerned about how I was feeling and didn't want me to go to bed angry. I just told him that I'm over 40 weeks pregnant and I can't remain calm and rational all the time, the room's not done, the house is a mess, the kid hasn't arrived yet and my feet are swollen.

Well, time for me to go shower and start the day. I have to get a present for my mother, her birthday was yesterday. I'm going to get her a picture frame that says something about Grandma and something else, I just don't know yet. I told her I was making her a grandson for her 60th birthday but he's late. Shipping on these things never seems to come on time.

Oh and no apparently the scissors did not work.

 

[Widger]

Oh Glow. You are not allowed to queue jump too!! I've got mw tomo and she won't s&s me so you've manicured your minky

Lozza and cupcake - good luck with s&s today. Hope kick starts things

Ft - I was prepped for c-section last time and they just took off my nail varnish.

ok so now feel sick after another pack of jaffa cakes. Good news is, no packs left to have any more

Going for snooze whilst Daniel in bed.

 

[lozza1uk]

I thought it was waters you needed to worry about meconium showing up in Well i'll make sure to describe it anyway, lucky midwife!

Well waters didn't go in Sainsburys unsuprisingly so i'm off to soak in the bath before my S&S.

Kym - sorry the scissors didn't work, I really thought they would do it...

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

i painted my nails at the weekend, they look pretty, if they take it off then i'll just re-do it. Positive thinking FT, hopefully you won't need a c-section!

widger - you've eaten another packet of jaffa cakes?? yum

i have been quite productive this morning in the end, i think the thought of another attempted sweep has spurred me into action (ironing, cookies made!, hoovered and mopped) just need to walk the dog and do the hanging baskets...

i really hope the midwife can perform the S&S today, third time lucky and all that, i will not be surprised if she cant though!

kymied - sorry to hear another old wives tale didnt work, worth a go though, eh?!

 

[Mrs Cupcake]

right im off to go and get ready to go out. i will dutifully report back later this afternoon.

happy baking and eating everyone! x

 

[firsttimer1]

cupcake - i have every faith your s+s will go great today esp as you did chores... you deserve it to!

Friday cant come quick enough for me.....

Morning, lads. Off to the doc bright and early... She's going to do an internal so we'll see how things are going. I'll let you know if she offers a s&s, FT. Though she has jury duty this week...

 

[firsttimer1]

Rashy - enjoy! I hope if she does then its successful!
