MY TURN MY TURN MY TURN!!!!!

And then...My turn?! Eeeeeek! My mum just text me saying "If little man is like his mum he'll be here on sunday " (I was born 19 days early!)

 

[Tulip]

Don't you dare!

 

[KimmyB]

Don't you dare!

No that would be just rude of me to jump the queue!

 

[Tulip]

I am going to be GUTTED if mw turns round tomorrow and says he's still free - while your pres scan shows you're head down and fully engaged with arse free!

A bit of hope here for you Nic...My mum was examined by the doctor (routine antenatal) and he predicted she would probably go to her due date as I was free and not atall engaged. This was at 5pm. By 8pm she'd started contracting and I arrived just before midnight that same day. I bloody showed him

 

[KimmyB]

Oh and I was her first baby aswell.

 

[Tulip]

You little rebel, you!!

 

[TripleB]

Oh wow congrats Blondee, wasn't expecting that!

Now now Nic and Kimmy, you ladies are in no condition for a race!

I have no idea how I slept through Nic, told you I was sleeping well!

Quick question - when did you pack your hospital bag? DH wants me to do it over the weekend.

Started gathering stuff about 30-32 weeks but didnt get round to packing it til about 36
The sooner the better i reckon. If (god forbid) you go into labour early, having a bag to grab would be helpful IMO x

 

[KimmyB]

I packed mine around 30 weeks I think I like to be organised!

 

[MadamRose]

Well done Jo he is a right cutie love the pics. I will most def be stalking your jornal

Well done mich x

It wont be long for you now nic

MY TURN MY TURN MY TURN!!!!!

You can wish but Chloe was nothing like me and her dad we were both 4 weeks early and little madam was 6days late

I started gathering stuff when i went shopping from around 30 weeks and packed it around 34 (but i repacked them about 100times)

 

[KimmyB]

I'm not wishing hun, he will come when he is ready and I would never wish him here earlier than when he's ready to arrive EDIT: Even though I won't be happy til I can see him and have him safe and sound in my arms.

Yes i know what you mean hun, i was the same with Chloe. I didnt even feel 100% that she would be safe when i was in labour even when he head had crowned and everything i was worrying. My DH went to me at one point we will have our baby in our arms soon and i even went to him "no we wont she isnt coming"

Now if she sleeps for to long i keep checking she is still breathing ect

 

[KimmyB]

Glad someone else feels the same, I often have bad thoughts that I'll never get to bring my baby home It's nice to know I'm not the only one with feelings like this. It is such a worrying time (and like you said, it continues to be worrying even when they are here!) little monkeys

 

[MadamRose]

Very much so Kimmy. My mum was there for the birth and becuase it was DH's aunite who was giving us a lift back from the hospital DH had to go get the car seat when my mum left the hospial about an hour after chloe was born. Well my mum said to him she thought that during labour i was thinking quite a lot about my loss. As i kept switching from sayign i wouldnt have her. then the MW told me to put my hand down and feel her head (before she was born) and i started to say thats our baby girl she will be here soon.
yes its very normal hun, and yes they worry you when they are here too i suppose its part of their job

Just a quicky - started with contractions at 5.25 yesterday, in hospital by 8.30 cos they were coming evry 5 mins. Monitor showed baby in distress. My little biy delivered by emergency c section at 10.48 weighing 8lb 9oz!

Couldn't sleep last night so am pooped. He is latching but suckling properly yet, had a bottle of formula. Slept through the whole night and is now dosing on daddy.

Am sooo tired and the pain meds have only really started to help in the past few hours. Oh, and contractions hurt sooo bad

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Sleep and bubs first, and when you have two seconds pictures are required!

 

[Tulip]

Kimmy - I'm exactly the same Think I might have to put something at the top of my birthplan to explain why I feel the way I do xx

 

[KimmyB]

Good luck for midwife today Nic, come on Munch, we want some engagement please! My scan is at 12.10 so will pop in and let you all know which way is up for little man

 

[KimmyB]

PS. Had a shocker of a night last night. Set a new record for night time pees. Also have started with the stupid/weird/vivid dreams again! Not had these since 1st tri really, how strange. Have a nice day girls!
