Just been making myself a to-do list for the 4 days of maternity leave I have before Xmas - so far its boiler service, carpets cleaned, cars to be serviced plus all the Xmas shopping I won't have done by then - arrrrrrgggghhhhh! xxx

I know - it's crazy - when I keep telling my oh what needs doing and the amount of time we have to do it it's freaking him out - but I feel I am the one having to drive a lot of it - he is fab and does all the housework at the mo but I am feeling overwhelmed with it all!!

Everyone else has got hospital bags packed and nurseries ready and I'm not even at the point where my house is in one piece and have to organise loads of stuff in to storage to make room!!!! ( also need to take down an old shed and get a slightly bigger more water tight one built to replace it in order to provide storage space )

My one blessing is that I am inheriting loads of baby stuff from my sister ( my nephew is 14 mths old now ) so at least that cuts down on stuff I need to buy ( have been experimenting with the baby bjorn she gave me the other day and there's tons of clothes )

[TripleB]

Don't worry h - we are absolutely not ready at all - no cot, baby's room is full of junk etc. Project Nursery is beginning this weekend! My colleague has given me her bugaboo and babybjorn so we've been experimenting too - it doesn't fit too well with a bump though!

My sister's best friend just had a little boy at only 34 weeks. Waiting to hear weight and if he's ok. Her plug went last week and she's been on steroids to make the lungs develop in time but its very worrying.

congrats on 30weeks lou and H
Congrats on 38 weeks nic not long at all for you

Hope her little boy is ok lou x

Happy 30 weeks triple and hb!!

And happy 38 weeks to you tulip!

Yay! Congrats blondee!!

Wow, so much has happened! I had a doc apt yesterday. Ugh..they had to get a sterile sample of urine becuase my stream doesn't go staight, it kinda trickles and takes vaginal tissue with it. So they needed a true sample to test it. The nurses frist tried to go up my "pleaure" hole!!! I screamed, "that's not my urethrea!"

So the nurses couldn't find it, so they got TWO docs in to find it and they got it. But it was painful and I bled the rest of the day. I go back again in a few weeks for my next GTT.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

 

[TripleB]

Crikey wish - that doesn't sounds pleasant! I'm testing my protein at home because of risk of pre-eclampsia and they also said to me you have to be careful not to contamniate the sample with discharge and tissue - not sure how that's within my control but I'm not going to complain if that's the alternative! xxx

 

[KimmyB]

girls, so I'm back from scan and the verdict is...breech little man His bum is in my pelvis, his head up by my ribs and his feet up by his face. Over the weekend I have to decide whether I want ECV or elective C Section and have appt with consultant monday morning. It is not the best news but I am happy to say that sonographer was really happy with baby boy - even showed us his full head of hair! His estimated weight at this point is 7lb 4oz :O
Hope everyone else is well, sorry I haven't caught up on all the news - I'm not feeling too good today - got the most horrendous one sided back pain with waves of nausea

 

[TripleB]

Aw Kimmy, I know its not the news you were hoping for but the main thing is the little man is doing well (good size for 37 weeks too!). Obviously I can't speak from experience but a good friend of mine regretted the (unsuccessful) ECV and wished she'd just opted for the section from the start - I'm sure you'll come to the right decision for you though. Did they give you any guidance? xxx

 

[Tulip]

Oh Kim, gutted mate. If you go for an ECv you are a braver lady than I. Lots of recent threads in 3rd Tri with pros and cons if you fancy a read xxx

AFM Munch is head down and locked right in. Great, except my BP -slightly up 2 weeks ago on my usual 100/60 - has now increased further. I'm back to MW at 9am and if still high she's carting me off to MMH for assessment and....???

Hubby is currently away with work, was supposed to be back tonight but has been delayed 24hours. He is now shitting himself that he may miss the whole thing!

 

[TripleB]

Oooh Nic - did they mention the "I" word? I'm sure Munch will hang on for Daddy. xxx

 

[KimmyB]

Girls am off up to the hospital - phoned triage about my pains and she is concerned i may be going into labour. Will update when I can xx

 

[Tulip]

She didn't but I fully appreciate the potential of PE. If I get a headache tonight I'll be straight on the phone to Triage. Speaking of which....

Kimmy - keep calm and GOOD LUCK! Let us know xxxxxxx
