May 2012 babies - so far 8 yellow, 22 blue, 21 pink!

[Ems77]

Yeah, you may very well have to do that. Good to keep them in as long as you can... The more they develop the better! I bought EPO pills today and will start them Thursday. I am sore everywhere and very impatient to get her out.

 

[RBurnett]

Im getting so uncomfy. He hasnt dropped as he getting bigger and bigger under my ribs making hard. I find it difficult to drive and also to wipe after a wee

All of hid moves are getting painful now, its as though he is getting bigger but my bump isnt!

only 3 days left at work so thats a bonus!

 

[zephyr]

LOL everyone wants their babies out and I want mine in! No I think part of me just cant wait for this to be over with, too bloody sore, not enough sleep but I want my babies healthy so will keep on trudging through and as soon as I hit 37 weeks I'mma wish them out like never before! If I make it that far.

Got a hottie on me again and its helping the backache. thank goodness.

I'm just worried about his growth now Fingers crossed he has grown at our next scan.....and I hope they ring me soon about that too!

 

[anti]

Zephyr I'm sure he would have grown and everything will be fine!

I'm still quite happy having my bubs in there. I'm not too uncomfortable yet and still coping ok. And I'm terrified of labour as well so the next 5 weeks can go as slow as they like!! Also nervous about this first time mom thing... What if I can't do it?! Those are normal feeling though, right?!

 

[rjsmam]

Zephyr – sorry about the back pain – sounds scary – I’ve had twinges & each time it makes me wonder, but with twins and constant ache it must be alarming! Re the growth, hopefully it’s just their positioning & you will find that they have both grown…

Rburnett – I know exactly what you mean – this babba feels like he she lives right under my ribs too, yay for 3 days left at work!!! Very envious!

Vaurissa – fab bump pic! good luck with the epo – would you let us know how it goes? I’m gonna try it seeing as I’ve had to ditch the rlt

Sharon & loveacupcake – hope your skin problems are easing….

Kimmy74 – sorry forgot to say HI the other day – welcome! My gender guess from your pic is boy – absolutely no science behind that just a guess

Yazzy – hope babies r us went well & you got lots of goodies!

Hey to everyone else, hope you having a good tuesday!

Anit - totally normal!! i think this goes through everyone's heads - mine too & it's 2nd babba, but nature will take its course & lead you

*warning* I am going to have a good old moan! Argh. My dh is driving me crazy amongst other things – he’s so selfish sometimes – he had a moan about house being untidy, so while he went to the health suite for a sauna I spent the evening tidying & then he came home to his dinner on the table, then promptly took up residence on the sofa. Then he woke me moaning & groaning at 1.30am to complain about our bed (old & uncomfy – waiting for new one to be delivered on Thurs!). Was raging & asked exactly what it achieved by moaning at me & waking me up too. Grrr. Then couldn’t sleep due to the heartburn/indigestion so got up to try vomit to release the bile that was lodged in my chest. Nice. Then the usual toilet trips after that. Then woke up this morning to nearly a foot of snow. Honestly – last wk it was 22 degrees & I had a day in the garden enjoying the sun – this wk I had to dig out all the scarves & boots again & drag selves out in the snow. Crazy weather.

So I should be working but am in a foul mood & now the backache is kicking in too …… boo hisss…..

I dont want my baby ealier then 37 weeks then after that he can come when over he wants.

I do hope they induce me at 38 weeks but then again they will only do that if baby still small co i dont want that cos I want my healthy baby...can never win!

 

[sharon0302]

They gave me a course of antihistamines which seems to have taken the itch out at least. My docs really don't have a notion!

 

[yazzy]

Sharon have you tried using calendula cream to help the rash? It is a natural remedy and really, really good.

Rjsmam yep got a few bits at babies r us, 4 cot bed sheets - umm how expensive are they?!, moses basket matress and again they have given me the wrong size so I am going to modify it to make it fit as I am fed up of trying to get one to fit the basket lol, some toys and nipple cream! So I think I am all sorted

Zephyr I guess you will get more aches and pains with having to carry 2 babies around, hopefully you can put your feet up and get some rest over the next couple weeks - I can imagine its not easy with other children to run around after.

I'm definitely one that wants my baby to stay put until atleast 38+3 weeks...i'll be 38+2 on my wedding day in just over 3 weeks so need baby to stay in until then! 1 week today and i'll find out if the placenta has moved and hopefully get a rough idea of how big baby is.

Off in a mo to finally pick up my wedding dress and shoes from the shop and then only another week and my bridesmaid shoes should be in...getting so close now!

 

[RBurnett]

Yazzy - thats so exciting, I remember getting all my bits for the wedding and loved it.
I would love to do the whole day again. Was the best day of my life so far.

Everyone told me how quick it goes and it really does hun so cherish every moment. I just wished I recorded the ceremony as I would watch it back all the time! lol

I bought EPO pills today and will start them Thursday. I am sore everywhere and very impatient to get her out.

You're starting them Thursday? I've had my bottle since 32 weeks but don't think I'm starting the EPO until 36 weeks. I've been taking 2 RLT capsules since 32 weeks and when I start the EPO, I planned to up it to 3 RLT a day.

As far as wanting LO out already, I absolutely do. I'll wait until 37 weeks but once we hit full-term, the eviction process begins. She won't come unless she's ready no matter what I do so I figure it can't hurt. I've not been in so much pain before and my first pregnancy was nothing like this so I'm done. I'm throwing in the towel hahaha. I just need to get through the next two weeks somehow.

It seems to be going by pretty fast but not quite fast enough. I still have to do our hospital bags. I made the list yesterday but was so tired, I fell asleep on the couch watching tv until OH came home and woke me up. I just can't be bothered to do much of anything right now. So drained of energy all the time.

I have my appointment on Thursday and I'm really excited. I'm hoping she does an internal (she said she'd start around 35 weeks so I'm hoping she sticks to it!) and I'm hoping she says it's low and soft or something as opposed to high and thick which is what I was told at my last exam (when I went to L&D a few weeks back.)

 

[RBurnett]

This was taken today at 34 + 2 days

 

[anti]

Rachel that's a big bump!! I'm sure your little man is just perfect in there!

 

[RBurnett]

Thank you think im going through a growth spurt!

It'll take a bit to kick in I'm sure; and I of course will be paying real close attention to my body. If something is off... I stop. My pressure point pedicure and self-sweep are going to be after 37

Oh I hear ya! This baby is head down with its bum under my left ribs, and its feet down by its face. I dont think there is room to do much other than stretch, and good grief it hurts when s/he does it! I can feel feet down by my right hip bone...

No I think part of me just cant wait for this to be over with, too bloody sore, not enough sleep but I want my babies healthy so will keep on trudging through and as soon as I hit 37 weeks I'mma wish them out like never before!

I think because you have a higher chance of them coming out to soon, it makes it easier to WANT them to stay in! And Im sure your little guys growth will be fine! I know with singles, at some point you start to measure smaller as baby drops into position, So maybe you are just closer to delivery that your measurements have started to drop off!

I was planning on starting the EPO today and I TOTALLY forgot to get some!!!

I had my 36 week appointment today. I told her that I have had enough of being pregnant! She agreed to do a sweep at 39 weeks instead of waiting for 40 weeks! I have booked a massage and chiropractic appointment at 38 weeks for pressure points, (Both agreed previously to do whatever they could to help me induce labour) so I am hoping that will work! Its kinda scary to know that my LO could arrive in 2 weeks or so!!! Im starting to do a lot of walking and bouncing on the exercise ball, in the hopes that I can get LO to drop into position and make my cervix favourable so that all these tricks have a chance to work...

Vaurissa: I had a pedicure last week with a foot/leg rub and I didn't feel a damn thing! not even a single BH...

 

[bumpin2012]

Forgot!

OH took me to babies are us today after my appointment so that I could get the last of the things on my list! I got my bouncer chair, a few more receiving blankets, and a nursing bra. So now everything on my "need to have" list is bought! All I now need is baby!!!

 

[zephyr]

Omigosh bumpin dont say that!! but maybe, I hope your right I feel like delivery cant be much more than a couple of weeks away that's for sure.

This pregnancy has been so different to my single babies, and I am really quite terrified of labour and the birth. You would think cos I've done it before a few times that I would be all good but the more babies I have had the more anxiety I feel before each labour.
Sorry for the mini meltdown but times getting closer and I am really quite scared. I feel like such a big baby

The countdown is getting too much for me, not knowing when. Also the pain I get constantly is making it really hard to tell if its early labour or not. I have stayed on the couch all day today so far. Its 1:30pm and I am still in my pj's. and the aches havn't been so bad.

 

[wavescrash]

It'll take a bit to kick in I'm sure; and I of course will be paying real close attention to my body. If something is off... I stop. My pressure point pedicure and self-sweep are going to be after 37

Yeah, I have no experience using it (I didn't with my first) so I'm definitely waiting until 36 weeks just in case. I'm sure starting it a week early won't be any difference but I'm paranoid hahaha.

Self-sweep? Oh, do explain!!!!
I'm starting all my eviction plans at 37 weeks on the dot hahahah. This baby feels plenty big enough and I trust that she'll be okay if she comes before 40 weeks. Plus they say nothing will work unless she's ready anyway so no harm in trying.

 

[cliqmo]

Is anyone else on Raspberry Leaf Tea?? When did you start? I am due right at the end of May so a few weeks behind you, but keen to start planning so wondered if I could start drinking it now?

 

[anti]

I'm not gonna do rlt so can't help you there cliqmo.

I've got my first antenatal class today and I'm so nervous. It's meant to be for couples and when we booked it my OH was gonna be able to make them all but he's changed jobs now and can't come with me so I'll be going to couples classes on my own. been so worried about it all day!!!
