November Mummy's - It's nearly time

[charliebear]

Hello all.

Well the sun is shining here too!! Think i'm going to get out of the jim-jams and go for a long walk with the dog! Need to get this baby moving into position!! x

 

[MrsP]

Well girls, I am back from MW and it is safe to say that she has scared the absolute hell out of me. I'm having a baby and it will eventually need to come out!!!

Appointment was good, great in fact. BP fine, urine fine, baby P all fine and dandy. She advised me to start on the fresh pineapple, start taking raspberry leaf tea/tablets, if waters break must go straight to labour ward and that first babies don't normally come early, but some do and she doesn't think she'll be seeing me for 40 week appointment.

Don't want to read too much into what she has said, but OMG!!!! x

Hi Ladies we have sun too!!! Shame i'm stuck in the office

Got my MW appointment on Friday and hoping bubs has turned into position as s/he was oblique last time naughty naughty!!! Was supposed to have my physio app today but they've called to cancel for another week as the physio is off sick so gotta wait another week now my back and hips are killing i've been waiting 5 weeks already!!!

 

[MrsP]

Oh hon, sorry to hear that. Is there anything else that helps to ease the pain? x

 

[Anna1982]

Im fed up now, still got five weeks to go and still at work!! I cant see the light at the end of the tunnel today lol

Im not even 35 weeks till saturday and have the horrible feeling baby will be over due

[CamoQueen]

Sooo tired! I only got 2 hours of sleep last night, woke up to pee, then couldn't get back to sleep!!! Arrgh!

Another 6 weeks of this... oh, lord, give me strength...

 

[MrsP]

I'm quite content for baby P to stay in there a bit longer. I think I must be the only one here hoping LO doesn't show yet. I'm quite happy to go with the flow and for LO to arrive as and when.

Why you dreading MW?

 

[vicwick]

Just moving around eases my back pain but keep getting stuck on the sofa when i lie down on a night cos my hip gives up on me
My DH came in Monday night to find me stranded on the sofa asking for help cos he'd been to the gym!!! Good job i didn't need a wee!! lol

Just wish i was finished work as sitting at my desk hurts my back but trying to hold out as long as i can, less than 3 weeks now

Hi ya Nov mums, I'm a happy chappy today as my maternity allowance has finally come through! I've been waiting a week and abit and I really needed the money. Got myself all geared up to have to ring them and see what is happening but to my surprise it was in my account today. It's not much at all but hey it's something. One less thing to worry about now. x

 

[charliebear]

Well, I'm back from doggy walk...it was fun.
Went with a black and white dog and come back with a black dog!!

Here is a question for you all: When did your mw appointments change to weekly?? I dont go back till 38 weeks?

 

[ryder]

Mine are weekly now. They were every other week until 36 weeks, and weekly after.

 

[Jem]

I'm 2 weekly still. I go again at 38 and then again at 40 the MW said today x

 

[Becky]

Im still allternating between midwife and GP, Had GP yesterday and my next appointment is the 22nd with MW, thats all i have booked so far oh and some blood tests on the 27th

x

 

[brownhairedmom]

Mine have been weekly for the last 4 weeks because they're watching me for pre-eclampsia or however you spell it because I have protein in my urine. So one week I see my GP, next week I see my obgyn. Pain in the ass really but its better to get checked every week than for something to pop up!

 

[cosmotbear]

mine seem to just be 2 weekly too. I'm off to the antenatal clinic next week to speak to hospital re: growth scan. Then its mw again two weeks after. I'm wondering when the hell anyone is ever gonna do a birth plan with me. Have you got yours done?

 

[Jem]

I never bothered with one last time and won't this time tbh. I think more cos the MW never mentioned it! I'm just going to go with the flow again! x

 

[charliebear]

Oh, well. I'm happy with two weekly appointments. Dr's is literally 2 mins away and have two hospitals within 20 mins! So no shortage of help available - not that I'm going to need it.

I haven't got a definite birth plan, going to a birth centre which is really laid back - so just going to go with the flow really. Most things i was wanting to put in birth plan was discussed during visit to centre. x

Well, I'm back from doggy walk...it was fun.

Here is a question for you all: When did your mw appointments change to weekly?? I dont go back till 38 weeks?

I only get appointments every two weeks unless I go over and then I go weekly. Where did you and the pup go for him to come back so dirty? x x
