Pinkt I really like Carter..... Might bring that up to dh tonight!
 
Babee I'm impressed that you can make them! If it helps from what I have read and got, bamboo and hemp are the best at aborbing but bamboo especially is very slow drying (fine if you have a tumble drier) and hemp can go a bit hard so they recommend to put the hemp under a bamboo or microterry booster in the night or naps. Most of them come with the microfibre/terry boosters though then you buy additionally or make them in your case. The actual nappy has a thin lining in a lot of cases of fleece which apparently draws the wetness in, it then goes into the booster but the fleece remains dry. Now I can say that this does happen for the pocket ones I've used, the actual nappy feels either dry or damp but the booster could be soaking. If that makes sense?
 
Dh likes Carter too now..... Looks like we have not made final decisions. Thanks for the Carter idea.
 
Oh wow Babee how exciting you have an actual date! Im only due 10 days after that but I have always got late so will be enjoying your newborn news for a couple of weeks probrably. You'll have to keep all of us overdue and later May Mummies going!

Bobbles- Oscar is such a cute name! X
 
Oscar was our first choice for boy's name but we are having a girl so not quite right now lol.

That's exciting babee!

I'm a bit frustrated though as I'll be 24 weeks on Thursday (ie 2 days later than you) and mine has been booked for 5pm on 29 April. My DD is actually 2 May and the first consultant I went to see said he'd do it 7 days before my DD ie 25 April. The second consultant (that I opted to go for) said he'd do it a week before too but last time I saw him he said it would be on the 29 as his slots are booked on Monday afternoons! I'm quite stressed about that now as it's only 3 days before my actual due date and it feels quite close. I asked if we could do it on 22 April instead but he said c11 days was too early to do it. Apparently if I go into labour early (unlikely for a first baby I know) they will do it as an emergency C. So annoying though as it's gone from being calm and planned to stressing me out a bit but pushing it later. I also think it's a crappy time to have surgery... Grrrr x

I think we spend longer thinking about names and over thinking names, whereas they just stop when they find one they like. We talked about Henry when I was about 6 weeks pregnant and I guess my DH liked it and stopped thinking anymore about it whereas I have continued to run through them to check its the right one in my mind. When I then asked him about his thoughts he was just quite chilled out in his responses which made me think he had gone off the name but he hasn't at all. It's been much harder to come to a decision on a girls name but I think we are finally getting there!!

That's so true Hann. My DH focussed on Oliver (one of the first names we discussed) and has settled on that as he doesn't seem to want to think about any others! x
 
UGH!!! I'm getting so jealous of all you ladies that get to know when your babies will be here..... (I know stupid but still).... Even though this is my first I just have had the feeling the entire pregnancy that I will go into labor early. Like anywhere between 32 & 36 weeks. I don't know why, but I've felt that way since the moment I got my BFP. I have even had dreams about it..... Hopefully not true though....

On a pissy note..... I just got a call from my debit/bank card company..... They informed me that there is somene shopping at Wal-Mart in Indiana with a fraudulant card with my info attached to my bank account. They have deactivated my card but it will be about 2 weeks before I get it replaced & oh by the way.... "You are responsible for the first $50.00 of the transactions, but we will do everything possible to refund all the rest to you"..... ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME??!?!?!?!? Why the heck should I be responsible for someone shopping in Indiana when I'm in Texas. Use those darn security cameras they have & catch the SOB who's going around stealing.... Sorry about the rant ladies.....
 
ladies, i need reassurance.

this is TMI, sorry.

i had a tiny bit of brown spotting about 4 weeks ago, about the size of a dime. since then, nothing really.

today i noticed that all of a sudden, i had a spot of brown/dark maroon spotting on my undies, about the size of a quarter, toward the front of my undies. i left a message for my nurse, but i'm a little scared. :(
 
:( jtink.

I'm sure it's nothing at all to worry about. Especially as its dark old blood.

But I 100% understand why you're worried. I hope you get a call back soon. Xxx
 
the nurse called me back and said it's all probably normal, as long as there is no pain, cramping or bright red blood. i can still feel him kicking, so that's always a good sign.

i've had a sharp pain or two down "there" today, but nothing crazy. i figured it was just stretching, etc? even though the nurse assured me all was probably fine, i am still very worried. i was going to work out at the gym tonight after work, but instead i want to go straight home and lay on the couch.

there's nothing, only clear discharge when i wipe. it was just some random brown spot. i haven't had sex recently, so i know that's not it. i'm still terrified.
 
Jtink I'm sure you'll be okay but totally understand why you're scared. Hopefully you won't see it again!

Maybesoon it's very very unlikely you will go into labour that early so stop stressing, won't do you any good. The vast majority of first timers go overdue on average by 4 days.
 
Thanks Hann.... Although I'm not really stressing about it, I have just had the feeling since the day I found out I was pregnant. I think that is because although the stats say differently.... Well it seems that in my family we all deliver earlier than our EDD. My Grandma did it with my mom, my mom & her sister did with with us & my cousins have pretty much all done it with their kiddos so the odds of me doing it I think are a little elevated. I like to think that our kiddos are just super excited to get out in the world & start kicking butt!!!! lol..... By God's grace, we have all been healthy.

jtink..... I wouldn't stress too much about the brownish spot. Sometimes if you strain a little more than usual when pooing it happens too. But I can certainly understand how unnerving it has to be. I totally wish that we could just call the doc & run in for a scan everytime something like that happens. It would ease our minds so much & that has to be better for your kiddos. I know there have been a couple of times in the past few weeks where I've had really sharp shooting pains (I'm sure are nothing but stretching pains) but they freak me out. I will get out my doppler as soon as I get home & listen to Mason's heartbeat & even after hearing it I'm still worried.

Take care & I agree when you get off work head home, prop your feet up & get some rest!

I do have a Tumble Drier and well its kind of my best friend :blush: lol...

See the Bumgenius Nappies ive got use Suedecloth for inside with PUL outer, then there is 2x boosters in Microfibre (not sure if inside is something else as i cant see)... But ive hunted everywhere for Suedecloth and cant for the life of me find any... But i see what you mean with the Fleece and also that would be more cost effective than bamboo, i will of course be making some bamboo soakers, but i wouldn't need as much of it as i would, if i was to Line a nappy in it.

I need to start making these, as i need LOADS and there take a little while to make... ive only made 2 so far lol.. ive made them out of soft Minky fleece and added a flip out liner in fleece and terry towelling, but they very bulky, soft but HUGE haha... so i think something thin, with the option to add more boosters will be best for me... I think :wacko:

Maybes there is different circumstances on our Sections???

My 1st son i was 8days over, 3days in labour and i progressed to only 5cms, His heartrate crashed down and stayed down, so i was whipped down for C-section...

My 2nd Son, from the beginning was suppose to be a VBAC delivery there was no real issues for him not to be born Vaginally... Anyways i had follow up scans, i was small he was Big and it panicked the SHIT out of me! all the thoughts of my last labour came flooding back.. I was fine untill i got to 36 weeks... So i begged and pleaded with my midwife/consultant... so agreed to let me have the C-section.. Because it wasnt Medically neccessary i had him on the 3rd of August my DD was the 5th of August.. So i only had him 2 days before.

This time However is totally completely different!... Because ive had 2 c-sections, this baby and any other baby i may go on to have, will have to be via a section. This is for fear of the scar rupturing, and a whole boat load of anything else that can go wrong if i was to start to labour myself... So its Medically Neccessary that baby is out before that can happen. But not too early to cause Her any problems...


It could always be worst, you could go 8 days over like i did lol x

Also me personally i think fantastic timing!!! you'll be down for 5pm or just after, then in recovery for a couple of hours... so say 7pm you come back onto ward... Your Partner can stay for aslong as he likes, and that also means no other visitors are allowed onto the ward!... so then you's have got all night together to enjoying your baby, then visitors can come the next day... i wish mine was later on lol

Just made this Ickle Hood rose Flower out of Felt... Mamas & Papas Charge £10.00 each for these and i need 2 of them... I cant justify spending that on just clip on hood roses lol.. So made my own for 80p each :D lol
 
I am dying to know my date but she said I may not even get in till closer to my due date like wtf is that who can plan like that ugh I sure hope not. Carter was a emerg c section its weird to plan this time haha
 
Babee you are so clever!!!xx

I would love to know the date of birth too in a way but also quite exciting not knowing. I've always gone overdue though with my first it was by a frustratingly long 11 days. With my second it was 7 days. I'm hoping for no more than 5 days this time but baby will come when baby wants- it's just harder to organise my hubbys time off work and childcare for the other two though :-\
