*~* May 2013 - Spring Babies*~* 117 Jelly Babies - 22 Boy's & 19 Girl's - 5 Babies :D

You are really good at making things Babee! The plan on the nappies sound good, def bamboo is thin so aim for that if you can. As I try them out I can keep you posted.

Kezzie I agree babies come when they are ready, so much happens in the final few weeks with regards to brain development etc that its important that they stay in as close to their due date as possible, that's why they don't do c sections these days before 39 weeks unless there is a danger to the mother or baby. It makes total sense to do it as late as possible. For *most* first timers 39-40 weeks would be fine for a planned c section, obviously you always get some that come earlier but the majority are overdue.
In my bnb group last time there was a girl that went to hospital telling people she had a trickle of water and thought her waters had gone, they had no way of confirming it or not because you can't tell if some waters go depending on if they are hind waters or not, so they induced her, she was 3-4 weeks early. She had been writing on her fb wall how she just wanted to eject her son as soon as possible so effectively she did. He was born small with breathing problems and had to stay in hospital for 2.5 weeks, plus her birth was fairly traumatic as being induced is generally not nice. Who knows how different it might have been if she had just left things to nature. It's a shame!
 
Hann that's so crazy about that person if she did indeed lie to get him out earlier. I can't stand being pregnant but I'm not going to fib to a medical team to get him out as early as possible and jeopardise his health! Dangerous choice. My consultant wouldn't do mine 11 days early as they're much more likely to have breathing problems then so he said the earilest he'd do (aside from medical emergency for either the baby or for me) is 1week (although that's scuppered now given his operating slots!). x

Lets hope for her sake that the bab
 
Oops, should read, "Let's hope for her sake that the baby was fine thereafter."

I'm trigger happy today! x
 
jtink: Hope you're feeling better this morning...I had brown spotting at 19 weeks and, again, at the beginning of my 23rd week this week...it's always worrying to see any spotting (Well, it is for me!), but brown blood is good! I've just come to the conclusion that I have an extremely sensitive cervix that likes to bleed a lot (Looking back, I think I might have had an easily irritated cervix pre-pregnancy anyway, because I had random bits of spotting here and there!), and bowel movements for me are one particular culprit! I think you're fine hun!x

Maybesoon: I thought I was the only lady to worry about premature labour, so your post has reassurred me a little...It's something I worry about most days, and I don't know why! I guess it's just our natural want for our babies to be born on time and healthily and, with this being my first, I have no idea what to expect and when to expect it!

Babee: That is such a cute little flower on your car seat...I love it! I've been a little creative myself and have nearly finished crocheting my own glittery silver and white baby blanket for our little boy...I'm so proud of myself, because it actually looks quite good!

AFM: Gosh, is my boy active today!! He woke me up kicking really strongly this morning, and pretty much hasn't stopped since! I love the feeling though, and wonder how he's lying...I'm getting kicks all over from right down to right up past my belly button!

Our cot arrives tomorrow (Yayy!!) so our nursery will be complete! I'll pop up a photo of it all done for you ladies!

I've finally gotten round to taking my 23 week bump photo too...I think my bump is finally coming along, but think I'm carrying pretty low?

I've hit 21 weeks and banana :)

seems so big!

Does anyone else feel that their pregnancy is flying by?

Hann i'll never ever understand why a woman would do that, 9 times out of 10 a baby born 4-5weeks early will have to go to SCBU for a number of weeks because they lungs aren't developed...

I cant think of a worse thing than having to see your baby all tubed up with wires everywhere in SCBU **shudders**

I got alsorts of tips and tricks to get my Oldest out as i was overdue with him, some were like "put castor oil in pure orange juice, it started my labour off early" I was like WTFFF i mean not only would that taste bloody vile, but its dangerous!

Like i say ill never understand why, ive been overdue by 8days before and i still wasnt that desperate enough to force him out
 
LP what a gorgeous bump!!!!

I wouldn't say you're particularly low, just right I think. :)

I didn't do a 21 week photo and am still yet to one on this week. We just got a new wardrobe and need to put a full length mirror on it as it doesn't have one, so doing them in my tiny dressing table mirror is a bit crap. but I'll try and do one tonight as I feel very round today.

God no, I think it's dragging. Feels like an eternity since I got pregnant. I'm wishing the time away to have him here safely and to have my body back to myself! x
 
Boobles, im getting quite anxious at how fast its going to be honest!... i was laid awake the other night in bed, just thinking OMGGGGGG, then yesterday wiped off another week so i was like SHIT (excuse my french lol) so ive had to pull my finger out and start getting things together... its going wayyyyyyy to fast, i wish it would slow down lol
 
Babee I heard the castor oil thing when I was due last time, it's crazy! The only one I did do was sex as that naturally triggers labour IF the baby is ready to come out. I know how we all get keen to meet our babies, I was in serious pain with 2 slipped discs in my back and SPD so I know how it feels to want to get relief and meet the baby, but nohings worth jeapodising the health of the baby(or you!)
 
hahah my midwife told me that, sex can help when labour is imminent! should of seen lee's face light up when she said that hahah...
 
Yep but tricky to get a comfortable position with a huge bump!!

My pregnancy is flying too prob because I have DD to occupy me. I think first time it tends to go through stages of dragging, especially when you are still working Jules. I gave up at 32 weeks, the commute was killing me and i'd done by second disc by then so couldn't really move. The joys of sick pay!
 
Mine feels like it's flying, and i'm still waiting on all my material to arrive so that I can get on with my crafting, it does feel like there isn't much time left at all to get everything done :nope:

Yeah maybe, although I would have thought being occupied all day in work would have made time pass more quickly! Probably exacerbated by the fact that I'm not loving pregnancy which is doubtless making it drag for me. I was hoping that 3rd tri will fly by but my Mum laughed when I said that and said that it drags..... x
 
I think you're right about the first time going fast and feeling long.

I can't believe I'm almost 23 weeks. It's madness.

But on the other hand I feel like its such a long wait still!

lpjkp, i think we are pregnancy twins! i had brown spotting at 19 weeks and now at the beginning of 23 weeks too! i've noticed that i had really bad bouts of constipation at 19 and now, 23 weeks. i bet you that's it, and it bothered my cervix a ton. thank you!!

weird question, anyone felt any vibrating down low? it feels like a vibrating cell phone almost. so weird. is this normal?
 
jtink28, I get that vibrating down-low feeling too, sorta like a cell phone. I wonder what it it is? Baby shaking? haha
