do you get weighed every time USAF? I only ever got weighed at my booking in appointment.

It wont be long till its your turn hun. I cant wait to see all the baby photos

Cherry - wow your good being sorted already lol. Im thinking I might need a snack bag just incase i have to go natural. Then again i probably wouldnt be allowed to eat.. just dh. Incase i end up needing another assisted delivery Really hoping i make my section date or saturday at least. I get paid saturday so will have £80 sat there for buses/taxi home etc. I am starting to think a natural would be nice if it went all smoothly coz then at least i could get home asap and not have to spend 6 weeks healing. Maybe have to DTD tonight and see whether that helps things along any. I get child tax credits tomorrow so after leaving in for the phone bill id still have a little money sat there if its needed. URGH i just cant make my mind up

Hope the deed works lol. I was wondering how early to apply for it lol i was googling it up but doesnt reaslly say. i picked up a maternity grant form to see if i can get it or not midwife said i should be but we'll see. xx

Im super tired all ready can see me going to bed early xx

 

[sethsmummy]

child tax credits you have to wait till after baby is born as you need the birth certificate hun.. same with child benefit. You should get the application packs in a bounty pack that you should get at the hospital after having baby.

hehe im tired too.. going for a nice bath i think to chill and read for a little bit

No updates from miwi since around 4pm. Im hoping that means things are progressing for her and little Maisy is on her way out

EDIT: MIWI UPDATE: she was still 3cm at 4pm but they did the other pessary and shes now in love with the birthing ball and gas and air I am off to bed soon but hopefully will keep you updated or miwi will if maisy makes her appearence tonight x

hey familygirl I started with a BMI of 44 weighing 18 stone 7lb. Last time i checked my weight at 36 weeks I was 20 stone 1 lb so a gain of 1 stone 8lb i think. Not stepped on the scales since.. lol once i got over the 20 stone mark i just didnt want to know anymore. Thats the point i really didnt want to hit


Getting some periody cramp my pants are drying which is the last item of clothing that needs to go in my bag. Just going to take the rubbish out and take seth over to the park for a little while so he can run off some steam.

xx

Thank u!....,I'm hoping not to gain too much,I'm 20 weeks and have gained 6 pounds so far,I weigh myself every 2 days or so to keep eye on it,I'm waiting for them to nag me about it yet haha,up to now midwifes haven't made my weight into a issue.Im consultant led as I have a clotting disorder and previous blood clot so I see my consultant weds,just hope they don't make it into a issue,when my Hubby been with me at midwifes appointment and they've weighed me ive told them not to say how much out loud haha.

Did Seth have fun at the park? I get weighed at every hospital appointment, iv not been moaned at yet with reguards to weight gain, if I stay good then I might not get the ear ache.

I am nervous to see what I have gained tomorrow is my next OB >.<

Seths and miwi- I am so jealous you both will have babies shortly! AHH!

Good luck for tomo hun. We will have our babies in our arms soon enough too

I bought a new toothbrush and one of those travel cases for it so ive now got that packed in my bag pretty chuffed with myself having that all ready lol just need snacks but knowing me ill be in labor and still having packed any lol

I bought a mini tube of toothpaste, its cute haha. And roll on deodarant for hospital, they moaned at me about for having the spray kind.

Im getting hubby to bring in fresh clean towels daily, im a bit of a germ-a-phobe.

omg omg omg Miwi!!!!! sending positive vibes her way (whereever she may be)

 

[USAF_WIFE]

Yeppers! Everytime Seths! I HATE IT! Thanks Jenny! I know its close but still far haha!

 

[sethsmummy]

Poor miwi has made no progress yet ladies. I've made hubby dtd twice tonight and been trying nipple stimulation but getting nothing so far. We think miwi's little one is waiting for mine lol. will reply properly in the morning as my phone is not to great!

 

[Jenny_J]

Poor miwi I hope thing's have moved on for her now.

 

[sethsmummy]

MIWI NEWS - nothing happened over night.. so its round 2 today.. they are hopefully going to break her waters for her

dh refused me another round of this morning Tried nipple stim but i only managed to get some strong period cramp which went away

familygirl - try not to weigh yourself too much hun. my midwife told me off for that as you dont get a true reading if you weigh yourself that often My consultant has never mentioned my weight hun. The only person who did was the aneasthetist but it was in a nice way

Jenny - seth loved it at the park there were some boys playing football and he wanted to play too but had to make do with just watching them. Going to take him with his football today i think. Those boys were only 8/9 but they were foul mouthed little so and so's. I swear if i heard seth talk like they were id wash his mouth out with soap!

USAF - urgh that sucks. I think ill be weighed before my section if i get that far.. but thats it.

xxxxxxxx

 

[Jenny_J]

Omg poor miwi she must be so tired and fed up by now, hope she managed to get some sleep.

My god, that's bad, il bet they were not supervised, which os bad too. My boy will be 10 in the summer, no way id let him to the park with his mates alone.

You trying to get baby moving now hun? Or waiting till wkend, if you can.

Im so tired today, going to eat breakfast then go back to bed.
Having my hair done today :-D I have about 6 inches of roots!

 

[Cherrybump]

Thanks seths think i asked that before lol sorry if i had.

Poor Miwi hope things start to move alot soon once her waters are popped lol.

Jenny my brother amd sister are like that to with germs. Its crazy just how long they take to get ready lol.

I only see midwife she doesnt weight me apart from first app.

Lol I dont take long to get ready really. Im just paraniod abput germs in hospital, im terrified of another infection in my section wound. And I have indoor cats at home, so im forever cleaning, guess ot just becomes normal lol. I was nesting so bad yesterday I was thinking of cleaning and re organizing my moms kitchen, while she was at work lol

 

[CottlestonPie]

Aww hope breaking the waters works for miwi! Must be boring/horrid being in overnight waiting for progress.

I had such a terrible night last night. Bert decided to have a stretch which made it sooo uncomfortable to roll over so I got sort of stuck. Then the heartburn got so bad that I could barely breathe. Urghh.

I worked out in the night that if Bert stays breech up until 36w I'll be scheduled for c section on either 22nd or 29th may. If I get that far!

 

[Noo]

I'm surprised you aren't getting re-weighed. Looking at my proforma I'll be re-weighed at 28 and 36 weeks as my BMI is above 30. I thought this was normal care for raised BMI?

I worked out that if I wanted a section my section date would more than likely be 24th September Now THAT is sad

 

[Cherrybump]

I think we all hit that nesting stage lol i need to clean this living room up again but see just looking at it, im like why bother it never stays like that lol

I cant even bend forward much as it hurts

Cottle: maybe that is something to think about. my friends has twins and went natural. I dunno how she managed it lol xx

 

[sethsmummy]

only have 2 mins to update you guys on Miwi.. sorry i cant reply properly.

She made no progress over night and was still 3cm this morning. She said earlier they were breaking her waters soon but not had an update since so im thinking they have maybe broke them and shes not progressing She managed to get around 3 hours sleep last night. SO at the latest she should have baby Maisy by tomorrow .. which is her birthday. Her DH has joined the thought that her Maisy is waiting on my Ethan hahaha.

i got dh to DTD again and he did a DIY stretch and sweep first. Still getting my cramps and pressure in my foof and bum Off to get Seth now then do some housework. xxxxx

 

[Cherrybump]

*C'mon Miwi little bundle mama wants to meet you*

Ive just done some house work so amazed at how much ive just done lol. Finished of the oven cleaning time lol. mopped kitchen and bathroom floor. Fixed the mattress on the bed as we have 2 lol but the button one had slipped down (sticking out at the end) :s put clothes away. think i need to gut some of my tops out i think lol ive got drawers of t-shirts and have to squeeze them in is impossible now.

Need to clean living room now but ill have to wait until ryan is awake he's going out around 2pm so mines i can get stuck in to cleaning and hooverii
