Congrats Shell!

Congrats xshell!

Hopeful, it's true that pregnancy isn't for everyone. Sorry you've had such a rough time with it. I know you'll look fab afterwards. You have a lot of determination!

I'm glad you girls are still visiting this thread. I was worried everyone would leave us few remaining posters and it'd be a ghost town in here! Hope the babies are all doing well. xx

 

[mummy3]

Bizy, there's more people posting here than the parenting thread, I think you all should move across early, might tempt babies out Good luck in the next couple of days hun

Congrats shell

Hopeful, with my first, I put on a lot of weight and had a pretty big bump ( LO was 6lb 10oz at 35 weeks so termish size) so after I had the loose belly skin but it did totally go back to normal, just took a few months and some trips to the gym I never did get the loose belly skin again though strangely so maybe its a first pregancy thing!

I was worried about that too bizy when everyone started popping, I won't be leaving the house for a while yet so you can't get rid of me!! Sam is usually sleeping so I'm just sitting healing here!!

Little monkey needed an extra feed between his 11 and 2 ones, and in that time of being awake, despite sleeping between every other feed today, he managed to wee in his own face when having a poo change!!

I then fell asleep on the sofa with OH and just woke up but my poor boobs are like two rocks so have sent OH to bed and I'm now trying to make myself feel sleepy again!! xx

Lisa- thanks, how are you and the baby doing?

Doing great... struggling a lot with breastfeeding and sleep deprivation and inlaws who think its more important that they see the baby than me get sleep, eat, and try to feed him.
The post-delivery hormones are no joke either, I cry at just about everything.

 

[heyyady]

lisa- f@*k the inlaws- put a sign on your door that says "sleeping, no visitors"- LOCK the door and get your sleep!
ps- the hormones are still getting to me some, but they mostly go away by week 3- hang in there!

Hopeful- you've done the pregnancy thing now, and you know it's not for you- don't let anyone give you crap about it! what you've done/are doing is fricking HARD! and you are doing a great job holding in there!

Congratulations Shell - lovely name (megan is what we've picked out for if we have a girl).

Nothing to report today. I'm increasingly uncomfortable and have LOADS of discharge (unless it's leaking pee or some leaking waters )
I can't bear the thought of another possible 3 weeks.

Here's this weeks bump pic:

Grown again span!! xx

I know - it's making up for lost time! Hubby still keeps laughing at me and saying "you're HUGE".

I've become scared to call people because the 1st thing they say when they answer the phone is "any news?" or "have you had the baby?". My mum says she gets excited every time she hears the phone ring and MIL phoned the other night to say they'd be in the theatre for the next 2 hours so to text if there was any news.

 

[heyyady]

Span- there's something to be said about how my girls got here- no one was expecting it, therefore it was a surprise! (Well, sort of, as my sister blabbed it all over Facebook! !) My mom was out in the waiting room, pacing all by herself- and she was only there because I had called her and asked her to bring me a pair of real socks!

 

[24/7]

Lol, will you tell them when labour starts? My poor mum was waiting so long for news after we went to the hospital and was so excited to finally get her call just after he wad born!! xx

 

[Wiggler]

Mummy - no, Graham Norton is now doing Eurovision, he is nowhere near as funny as Terry Wogan was, but still entertaining.

24/7 - Try some Ibuprofen, I found it helps much better than paracetamol for post-birth yukky feeling

xshell - huge congrats hun!!!!!

span - The bump is deffo growing!

My tummy actually looks better now that after I had Dylan and my bump was a lot bigger this time. the skin doesn't feel so much like it should belong on an old ladys face

 

[span]

I'm gonna have to tell both sets of parents when I'm SURE I'm in labour - we've had demands from them to be kept in the loop, no matter what time of day or night and they're both so excited I don't think I could keep it from them. We've told them that they're to stay away until baby is born though!
I expect i'll tell my sister too (she just wants to know and isn't high maintenance, especially as she's in Lincoln!).

 

[24/7]

Mine were very good in the end, and waited patiently, but after all my flapping when I was pregnant about wanting space, as soon as he was here I was checking morning visiting hours, haha!!

Will have a look at the ibuprofen wiggler, thank you!!

Fab bump news too wiggler, mine is disappearing by the hour, it really is incredible what the body can do!! xx

 

[hopefulmama]

Ugh I've been up since 4 30 am, its now 5 35... anxiety about everything and lack of comfort= no sleep for me. I'm sitting here drinking some moroccan mint tea hoping that will put me back asleep. I fall asleep fine, it's staying asleep that's tricky.

[new_to_ttc]

Afternoon ladies

I almost got here this morning lol I managed all 3 of us ready by 9am for school pmsl, then home, George's feed, JK and my breakfast but then I was going to put laptop on and midwife came and throw the whole morning off tip lol George was disturbed, doesnt like being prodded and poked lol so he was up, then he wanted another feed earlier than normal so laptop didnt get a look in pmsl Little man is now asleep, as are his grandparents (hmmm???? lol) so now having some me time to say hello before I go make grown up lunches, before baby wants lunch lol

24 I was given co-codamol before leaving the hospital for the after pains, I only take 1 or 2 a day but just keeps everything at bay hope you feeling better today hun!

span lovely bump hun! Wont be long now!

Wild hows the sickness hun? Hope Sienna lets you get some sleep

Bizy we wouldnt leave you guys but we would kinda prefer you all start baby popping lol

Wiggler and 24 jealous at your bellys going down Ive lost 1stone 2lbs now but still all flabby, cant wait for the thumbs up to start toning exercises. BFing seems to be doing its bit though, I feel like Im having a work out each feed lol

 

[meow951]

Congrats Shell!

Hope everyone's ok!

How is everyone coping with the after baby hormones? I keep feeling fine and then suddenly crying. Plus i keep thinking i don't know how to look after him and what if i can't stop him crying etc. I don't think it helps that DH is going back to work on Thursday and i'm a bit nervous about it. It is normal how i'm feeling isn't it?

Also does anyone elses baby scream when having a nappy change? He absolutely hates it and it really hurts my ears when he's doing it at 3am!

He's starting to get a bit more awake now after he's got up in the morning which is usually 9/10ish. Plus he know thinks its awake time between 10 and 12pm so we've just been sitting upstairs in the dark with him quietly to see if he realises that is sleep time

 

[BizyBee]

Hi girls. I'm off to my appointment. Let's hope this guy is still a little peanut and not as huge as they predicted.
