Yes its diffrent in that way, im glad everyone thinks she is going to e early :D any reasons ladies?

I can understand why you want yours to be late triple. However one of my nephews was due end of feb, and he decided he wanted to see in christmas and arrived on 22nd dec
 
Not sure why due, just have a feeling she's nearly ready - especially if it's a family trait!

My birthday is 7th Jan and I hate it, the further away from Christmas the better!

Yes i know everyone who has their birtday near christmas hates it. Mines June i love it as its half way between the 2.
I really hope she does i will trying to give her a helping hand from 37weeks :rofl:
Im guessing she will be 1 or 2/5 hoping for the 2nd as that means she progressed from last time :D
 
Morning girls just a bit of an update not sure if you knew Lauraperrysan aka Laura Perry on FB, she had her little man Dawson this morning, she had 6 miscarriages before Dawson and it was heartbreaking every time to see. He came on his due date and its such an inspiration to me - she had a blood clotting issue too so it brings it home.

As for me, im off to see my consultant at 9.15 to talk about my section etc, so excited may get a date today wohooooo xx

Have a great day girls xxxx
 
Sort of Triple tends to be the flutters - when im sat in certain positions I get the boot but mainly lots of wriggling feelings, i am larger stature lol ie fat !!!

I would love a christmas baby albeit that would mean he would be early so maybe not but my birthday is Jan 10th so that may be our section date !
 
I've sent her a message on FB, so exciting! Thanks for letting us know babes, and good luck today xxx
 
Hope things go well today fluffy, glad you have been inspuired :D let us know if you get your section date.
Just found out my homebirth visit is gonna be tomorrow. Wanted it to be today really as now OH cant be there as is at work. But at least it means it will e with my normal midwife. However bit annoyed they can't ring me with an actual time tomorrow. ive just been told it will be between 12 and 5pm and can i please stay at home from 12 until they have been :wacko:
 
Hi Ladies!!

How are you all? So sorry for the radio silence - i ended up spending the whole of august in the UK and had an amazing time catching up with family and enjoying the cool weather! I did my last lot of UK shopping too, so i am feeling pretty much ready.

Had first antenatal class yesterday, but still managed to feel like a fraud as everyone just looked so much more pregnant than me! :dohh:

I have suddenly gained loads of weight (prob all the yummy english food...) and am now 21lb above my starting weight. Yikes. How are you guys getting on? Please tell me you are gaining too! A lady last night was also 30 weeks and said she had so far gained 2lb and had had no morning sickness (this made me want to throw up). Am now on a serious healthy eating campaign!

How about stretch marks?? In some lights i think i have some, but then the next day i can't find them. Am being ultra generous with the bio oil on the off chance it works. How are you guys doing with them?

Right, i'd better go and try to get the apartment straight - have to find room for all these lovely baby things!!

Hope you are all having a good day.

Love,

Michelle X

EDIT: P.s. Tulip - i am Team blue but am still yellow on the front page - does that make us even-stevens with the pinks??
 
G'morning ladies!

Hope you get a date today Fluffy!

Due, sorry dh can't be at the homebirth apt tomorrow. That sure is a long time to be home for the mw! 5 hours? It's almost like waiting for a new dishwasher!

:dance: yay for Laura!

Blondee, I have gained 5lbs and I'm only 17w2d!! Needless to say.. I have stretch marks.. But DH saw them and call them love marks :) He's so sweet.

afm, I have started to have REALLY scary dreams now... Last night was pretty bad. Dh and I were locked in this house and this killer with glowing eyes was running us around the house trying to kill us and the baby. :help: Scary.. Hope they aren't that scary anymore!
 
Haha I think that makes it a 3-way tie Michelle - 11 all! I still need to stalk the people that don't post in here much so it may yet change.

No stretchies for me yet. Mum didnt have any so FXd it stays that way!

MW was fantastic, I luuurve her (it's the one who booked me in and got our extra scan, she suffered NND of her daughter due to abnormality). We had a long chat about when Munch arrives it'll be happy and sad because we'll be thinking about Rubes and 'what if'. We're both v on the same wavelength in thinking we lost our girls for a reason - her so that she can support angel mummies better and me for Ruby's folic legacy and saving her little bro.

I mentioned HB and she said oh we LOVE home births! Outlined the discomfort-relief TENS, pool and hypno, they only carry little cylinders of G&A so none until 7cm dilated. She is v supportive of hypno and is probably going to become a practitioner when she starts her staged retirement in a year or so. She is actually excited about my hypno homebirth, I sooooo hope she delivers my little boy!

Currently enjoying a late lunch - three slices of toast, a jam doughnut and some grapes :D
 
oooohh nic sounds like your mw is a winner :)

im just on packing my hospital bags!! eek!!!

my boots order arrived 1 month after ordering!
 
When should you start packing a hospital bag?

I haven't even got one yet?
 
i have no idea when best to start lol, but i just got a big order of stuff delivered from boots and figured, why unpack it into cuboards - i can just put it in the bags now - and then once i started i couldnt stop lol
 
Crikey Jo i see what you mean about ordering early 1 month for a delivery !!

As for me im well PISSED off what a complete waste of time the registrar was this morning.

I arrived was seen on time by this Chinese lady who could hardly speak English. She didnt even run through yesterdays scan, she read all my notes then proceeded to write exactly what was on one page of my notes to another page of my notes word for word. I explained about my shared care and she didnt even read that bit, but funnily enough as soon as I mentioned Prof Quenby her ears pricked up and I had dates for my 28 week, 32 week, 36 week scan and my GTT date !

She said Prof Quenby would do my 24 week scan and to discuss my birth options with her but they dont usually give a date till at least 28 weeks which is understandable.

I asked about the scan and she just said "yeah seems fine".

She said Placenta was low but again reassured me that as I was being scanned so many times between now and then they would be able to detect if there was an issue but to be ready for birth any time after 36 weeks.

So overall a WASTE OF F****N TIME but at least I see a real doc on Monday lol !!

Nic - love u can have your home birth, I couldnt cope with anything like that, Noel has OCD in cleaning and just couldnt hack it !!
 
Great news about the home birth, Nic. Your MW sounds like a star!! I am with Fluffy tho, i will def be aiming for the hospital. Neither me nor DH are avid cleaners, but still, i like the idea of being near big machines and drugs etc as i am a total chicken!

Fluffy - you wanna ask what the point of your apt with the registrar was! Crikey, she sounds like a real chocolate teapot. I bet you came out feeling very frustrated.

Missy - i love the fact that your bag is packed! At our antenatal last night the nurse said to def do it by 36 weeks but as soon as we got home DH was like 'right, pack your bag please and let me know where it is'. He makes me laugh! He also made some joke about me having a Louis Vuitton holdall to pack it all in - i wish that part wasn't a joke!! hehehe!

:rofl: Kev has OCD in cleaning too, but fishing any turds out of the birth pool will give him something to do other than pacing :rofl: We'll have plastic sheets and inco pads all over the place, I don't anticipate much mess that can't be shoved in a bin bag. Just need to really believe in my hypno now, had some good feedback from people that I actually know who relaxed properly and didn't need drugs :)

Currently demolishing fish n chips which I picked up on the way home from hairdressers :D
 
Great news about the brill MW and home birth Tulip! And the fish and chips sound yum (make my jaket tatie seem rubbish now :()
Michelle I can join you on the weight front, I'm currently at 11st 3lb and was between 9st and 9 1/2 stone pre-pregnancy. I also have stretch marks all over my bum and the back of my thighs...sigh!
 
I was somewhere between 8.5 and 9st, am now just over 10. Lost weight in 1st tri but averaging 1.5lb a week at the moment...
