November Mummy's - It's nearly time

[MrsP]

i bet its great to know when baby's comin so you can have the house sorted and tidy and stuff!! i've got to get the house tip top for MIL coming to stay on thursday and i really cant be arsed!

like you mrsP, my head's all over the place today! I'm absolutely starving aswell, but really dont fancy food. just made myself some noodles cos they were quick, but i just dont fancy them! had toast at about half8, and have had a couple of bags of crisps, but thats it. dunno if maybe my body's trying to keep "waste" down to a minimum maybe before somethin happens!!

I thought MW's went mad about castor oil too but today mine said ''if u go to 10 days overdue ill talk to u about castor oil''......?????
I wish hubby could locate my cervix and give me a daily sweep!!! (sorry TMI!!)

What fedup mummies we are today, what can we have other than our babies to cheer us up? I have two tubs of B&J's icecream and some choccie in the cupboard I am willing to share. x x

No castor oil mummies, not a good shout.

My mw had 2 mummies not so long ago who had taken castor oil and they had a terrible labour and both babues ended up in special care.

I know we are all in a rush to meet our babies, and you're probably thinking easy for her to say with tomorrow looming, but we wouldn't rush them out at 30 weeks and we shouldn't when they are 40, maybe they jusy need that little more cooking time.

We will all be mummies soon, what with Charliebear's labour dust and Ria's eviction notice and mother nature it wont be too long.

I just asked OH if he wanted to try popping my waters! he just looked at me oddly!
it cant be that hard to find your cervix can it? xxx

 

[CamoQueen]

Went to see the mw today -- I'm 3 cm, 50% effaced, -1 station! Shocked to see that my body is prepping itself; when she offered to check for me, I was so sure she was going to see my cervix had been bolted shut with cast iron locks, with a huge, "CLOSED FOR BUSINESS" sign across it. You never know...

 

[sam#3]

Yer i think i will steer clear of the castor oil, im shocked it was my MW that mentioned it?!?!

MrsP - does it seem real yet?? Are you all ready and excited?

This made me chuckle, its how I imagine my cervix!!

I have B&J 3/4 full to chip in and share!! Its chocolate brownie too!!

I'm not going down the castor oil route.....people have had too many bad experiences!! x

 

[MummyJade]

Castor oil is a no no for me too. MIL keeps going on about it. but i just ignore her, she rang just now 'any pains?' NO.... 'what nothing?' NO......... 'waste of space!' well dont bother calling! ' make sure you call when you go in and i will leave straight for hospital' Sorry but your not invited to the hospital..... you know that......
god she makes me mad! xxx

 

[Kazzap]

Is anyone else starting to feel scared now. Don't know whether i am more scared of the pain of birth or the responsibility for the little human that will soon be here!

Eeeeeek....

 

[alice&bump]

my MIL suggested cod liver oil. i think she meant castor oil. lol i read somewhere on a natural induction site not to confuse castor oil with castrol oil lmao, imagine it!!

i only popped an EPO tablet up there once, couldnt be bothered after that!!

 

[MummyJade]

Kazzap i have started to think about the birth more, not scared just like, now i am past my due date i am like waiting for it to happen.... where as before my due date it would of been a total shock going into labour.... but i just have random thoughts likes ;my god i am getting to have a baby to look after!' what if she dont like me?!

xxx

 

[Jen&Freddie]

Bit of a random one...never had nose bleeds in my life and all of a sudden out of nowhere i've just had one and is still going after 10 mins....is this ok at 39 weeks?!!xx

Evening ladies.

Thanks for all the well wishes for Friday too.

MrsP I'm at the hospital with sis tomorrow so might see you or not i'm in antenatal section for bloods and you'll be down the corridoor in the labour suite or better still the postnatal ward (Good Luck)

Good luck to everyone else aswell and i'd stay well away from the Castor Oil (and the Castrol Oil ) If i were early ladies. only use if overdue. it's horrid stuff too.

Thanks for the badge too Ria they are really cool. Wish i was a december mummy though as i love the snowflake one

Ooh to all

 

[charliebear]

I'm sorry Jen&Freddie I'm not sure on the nosebleeds, maybe start a seperate thread and see if its common??

No not really, it seems strange, in fact it doesn't really feel anything. I felt very scared earlier but I am not too sure of what. I think I am more anxious than anything. Ready yes, Mrs P's Palace is prestine even the plants have had an extra dusting!! Car is packed and I made some lunch for tomorrow and popped it in the fridge. Being a tight cow and not paying the hospital prices.

How are you? x

That bloods ready for Friday?

What time you there tomorrow? I don't know what time I have to go in yet but I can drop Jeanette a text and if we're about I'll come and say hi. x

Think it was Ryder who thinks it is worth sticking with the EPO, she said she thinks it helped starting things off.

 

[Tootsie]

Yeah pre op bloods. i'm gonna be there anytime from 9-12 and i know sis is in for 2pm so probably be around all day

Ooh i dont blame you for not paying hospital prices they are rather extortionate.

 

[MrsP]

£2 for a tiny coffee, I have the flask out for Si he can drink that if he wants it that much.

Definately will drop you a line if I have the chance and come and say hi. If I don't see you hope everything goes ok and good luck for Friday x x
