Hope he can find it, it can be a nightmare to get, it's a cooling gel but makes the area feel Luke warm. Not like deep freeze which feels like an ice cube on your skin.

Any other team yellow mums getting very excited about that moment we find out the sex?
 
It looks like they sell it in boots so hopefully they'll have it in the one by his work (central London).

I'm yellow and I am excited!! I have no clue really what I'm having. If I really had to guess I'd say a boy but I really don't care what it is. It will be amazing to find out!
 
I can't wait to find out I am 99.9% its a boy and have been since about 5 weeks. I don't know why, I also come 26 weeks knew Inver was a girl.

But I cannot wait for that moment when hubby tells me, I've it all over my birth plan and notes that he is to tell me!
 
I'd like my husband to tell me too although if I have a water birth then I will hold te baby first so I guess I'll be telling him. Either is fine though.
I'm more like 55% boy 45% girl - I change my mind constantly though!!
 
Just back from the doc and feeling so happy. I know it doesn't mean much, but she said I'm low, soft and dialated a finger tip already! I was scared she would say I was still high. Dylan's head is low too so make sense as to why my crotch is so sore all the time. I'm also really tired of neighbors and such commenting about "how high she still looks" etc. Now I know -She's not high! =)
Doc also said cervical checks really do run the risk of putting you into labor - that's why their office doesn't do them before 38 weeks. I'm also going for a brazilian tomorrow and she said that could put me into labor as well. You just never know what's going to set things off at this point.
 
well, ladies, the doctor just called me. after consulting with all the doctors at the high-risk unit, they want to schedule a c-section for next week, tuesday april 30th at 2:30 pm!

i know i should be upset about a section, but after listening to the doctor explain it all, and his reasoning, i think it's the best decision. now i'll just prepare for a section and get ready for all that comes with that!
 
I tell you Sass, my Brazilian nearly put me into labour - jeez that hurt when preggo!

I know it's not your ideal birth plan jtink but if its best for you and baby...

You're going to be the day after me! x
 
I'm expecting a blood bath Jules. I'll be pumped for anything less. ;)
JT - sounds like its going to be great for you and your little guy. TBH, I'm so jealous you have a date and time you can plan on. You too Jules!
This whole not knowing is torturous to a planner like me!
 
It's kind of funny sass as all along I've liked having a date but now it's nearly hear I'm feeling panicked by the finality of it. In a way I wish it would kick off over the weekend and surprise me as I think I'm going to be a mess of nerves on Monday. At least if it was over the weekend I'd have less time to get myself worked up! x
 
at this point, with all my health issues, i have no ideal birth plan anymore. 2 of my closest friends have had c-sections, and had great experiences. one friend had a vaginal birth with a 10 pound baby, and 3 years later, still has issues "down there."

i'm really at peace with this section. now i'm excited!! on monday, i'll get my mani-pedi and pamper myself, and my hubby and i will go out to dinner alone for the last time as a family of 2 :)

Ah, pleased to hear you're reconciled with the plan :)

Pampering is a great idea but may be worth checking with the hospital about the mani and pedi - over here some places don't allow nail varnish on either so would be so annoying to have to take it off :dohh: x
 
i can do clear polish on my fingers, and whatever i want on my toes. (i'm vain, and that's the first question i asked my nurse after we scheduled the date, lol!!!)

holy cow, now i have to really get his stuff ready!!!!!
 
Wow congratulations ttcbean! So pleased you got your home birth and lucky you not having to wait around for baby to come!! Happy days hearing all these babies coming at long last :)

Sass they arent concerned about size even though im measuring big and they won't induce me until im 40+12 as per standard policy here so I'm just praying baby is sooner rather than later. I was a week late with my last baby so I'm hoping it won't be any longer than that. My first baby was a strapping 9 lbs but my second was only 7 lb 2oz but I was smaller with him so I'm expecting between 8-10 lbs this time I reckon.

I'm feeling pretty keen to get baby out due to pain and sickness but I also agree that they come when ready and I will put up with anything for a healthy baby. I ak taking evening primrose oil and red raspberry leaf though but more to help the labour itself as they aren't labour inducers as such. I am trying to walk more to get baby in the right position and ripen the old cervix up but I can't manage much distance. The cervical lightening pains are getting freakin instense now though so hopefully somethings happening.

I'm so excited for you ladies with your planned c-secs it's amazing that NEXT week you will have your babies and be Mummys :) so very jealous though too as although I am due next fri 3rd, if I go overdue and be induced I'm potentially looking at as late as May 18th or there abouts if it all takes ages. Nooooooo!!!
 
I'd be going stir crazy too Jules. Do you have any little projects or movies to keep busy with?
Kezz- I hope you're feeling better. I'd say the lightning pain sounds very promising. Once shes head down and enaged, she shouldnt be too far off from coming out, right? Please remember a third baby can come super fast. I've been seeing all of these "I had my baby on the sIDE of the road" stories because the women didn't get to the hospital fast enough.
Not trying to be Debbie downer, it just scared the crap out of me.
Super excellent to think you girls will have babies next week. I hope I'm with you. My induction wouldn't be til May 15/16 if she chooses not to Come out. :(
 
Wow jtink very exciting!! I'm glad you are happy with the plan. Don't forget to take "one last bump pic" with hubby! It'll be nice to have a day of pampering before THE big day. :)

kezzi: If you have that many lightening pains, I think you're getting close! Keep up the walking, it'll help. :) I hope you get to see your LO sooner rather than later, and that you won't be kept waiting like last time.

Sass: LOL, I just saw something about a lady giving birth in a rest stop. My DH wants me to drive 2 hours away to pick him up at the airport and I'm like "No way dude! I am NOT giving birth on the side of the road!!"
 
Jtink that's fab news and glad you are happy with it! Not long now!

Kezzie - I'm the same, don't want to get to 12 days over, pretty much think I'll be a week late which I can cope with. I try to walk about too but in pain plus I always have DD so we don't get far. Also getting lightening pains but it keeps piping in and out of engagement so I don't hold much hope. Feel so sick over the past day or so, up now and have been for hours and just feel pukey and getting more lightening pains as I lie here. And another 2-3 weeks to go!!
 
Hann any luck on the bio freeze front?

Jtink, glad your feeling a lot more balanced with yourself enjoy your pampering!

It's a full moon tonight ladies xxx
 
I hold no hope cupcake! I probably still won't believe it when it actually happens though lol!

DH should be getting me some bio freeze today (unless he forgets!) so will be able to try it later! Actually sadly excited lol
