well as for me....sigh......il start today then rewind back to weekend lol. just come back from my M,W appt this morn.
BP fine. Urine Fine, bump....big but we knew that lol. ummmmmm still head down but she also said her head was engaged lol i thought she felt a little low today lmao clever girl found the exit already i just hope she pops back out for a bit and stays put for a bit longer lol.
Saturday....well as some of you know I have a surprise baby shower due....sat i thought to myself....maybe the dinner in the evening was a decoy...it wasnt lol but an enjoyable eveing with my best friend Jemma and her partner and one of my other best friends Hayley and hubby. a nice relaxed evening of risotto and you tube aslo in the morning we went to our first antenatal class. was very interesting. learnt lots about pain relief and I hope with our birth I hope to have an active labour and go as natural as poss. obviously I am open minded and will most likely give into the epidural lol??
Sunday.... I sat there clock watching......thinking......wondering.....was today the day??? I started getting tearful at the thought so I said to hubby I need to keep my mind occupied cause i cant help clock watching, wondering when etc, plus with saturdays class sinking in and the reality of it all i felt like every 5 mins i was bursting into tears. we got a lot sorted in the spr room. we moved beanys cot, I did 2 lots of beany washing...all her bedding so today I can make her cot up got the case out of the attic so I can start packing my bag for the hospital gonna wash some of her clothes today so I can pack those too.
tomorro, i am meeting my best best friend Vicki for lunch....Bring on Franky and bennies mmmmmmm yum! then in the afternoon I have got my work leaving drink. strictly blackcurrant squash or a diet coke for me tho lol.
weds Im having a girly chick flik day with my neighbour across the road. she off work sick so we thought some company for each other would be good. its ok nothing i can catch lol.

I am feeling rubbish today, my arm aches & has done since yesterday, dont know why! Also my hands & feet itch at night, its driving me crazy, i cant sleep coz i have to scratch them

I picked up my sure start grant form from the job centre today, thought id better get organised, still waiting for my hip form though, my midwife keeps forgetting it

 

[samzi]

Back at work today. My boss didnt expect me in. Apparantly she tried to ring me last friday and left a message - but i didnt get it:s anyway shes told me to get signed off till my mat leave starts in 4 weeks and il get full pay as im 28 weeks! so im trying to get into the drs today to get a sicknote to cover me till then.

Not happy as i spent £16.50 on a bus ticket for the week

On top of that, im hurting cos ive been moving about so much. nightmare!!!

 

[dawny690]

Right Im officially p'eed off now right still no despite having again today, still feel dizzy dont feel sick though just very very dizzy and I didnt get up too quick or anything so I dont know why I feel so bad I found a packet of the pill i used to take am so tempted to try taking it for a week and see what happens xxx

 

[Tudor Rose]

you know dawny i took the pill for 6 days and 7 days later a heavy period came (it was really heavy) then i got pregnant.

My Midwife has just phoned and introduced her self, her name is Alison and ive got my 1st appointment (booking appointment) 7 th december so im praying i.l get my U/S before christmas, its all begining to feel very real, had a real bad morning today i was so low, i got in and cried buckets over socks! (dont ask) i was like this early on when carrying my son.
OH and i had a crappy weekend just being snappy with each other, he cant see why im tired as it not like im carrying a big bump so reasearching some stuff to send him via email on why pregnancy is difficult in the early stages.

MIL was just asking when will i be taking my Mat leave (we work together) i said 14th of june is what ive got in mind i.l be 34 weeks then and she said do you think you will last thats long? as from 20 weeks when carrying my son i was signed off work. i said i.l just have to see how i go.

thats wicked to hear Samzi after what was said before. was that said after you told them what your rights are i wouldnt worry about the bus ticket....maybe try and get out with some frineds for lunch etc before your baby arrives

Dawny hun..... sorry ur feeling shite hun. there is lots of crap going round at the moment. maybe ur coming down with something?

God I have just stuck a cheese and cranberry sauce sandwich in my gob....my daughter cant wait to get the nutrients and gives herself hiccups silly girl lol

 

[samzi]

id love to lisa but i dont know anyone around here well i know someone off another forum that lives not so far from me..hmm may see if she wants to meet up. She did mention about going to some bump and baby classes with her.

back home now and got an appt to see dr tomo and get a sicknote from him/her. gonna get my matb1 stamped too and get that sent off back to work with sick note.

god what a bloody day its been

 

[Sparklebaby]

bless you

I have just checked my notes....something i hardly do and it says 4/5th engaged yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy go beany go! can definately feel her down there lmao. thats only happened in the last week too so....who knows lol.

 

[samzi]

ooh. hang in a few more weeks baby girl, then POP out

 

[Sparklebaby]

funny thing tho....normally im the one glared at cause of the babys size....but today the mw said well your husband is tall. of course!!!! its not just about me being bigger, it could be length too. hubby 6ft3 his mum is about the same?? my dad is tall, my sis is tall, so it could be all about long than short and fat. would rather a long skinny i think

 

[3 girlies]

shes almost fully engaged then Yeah i bet she arrives early! they can get the size wrong on the scans by quite a bit, they kept telling me Reese was huge & she was 6lb which is pretty small.

 

[Sparklebaby]

ui would think 4/5 is fully....its not. 0/5 is there...about to pop. lol 5/5 is free.

 

[3 girlies]

oh right, i havent ever had anything written in my notes in that section apart from - lol

i remember 2 days before i had Roxie the midwife booked me in to be induced on the following friday coz she said she wasnt in a good position for me to go into labour naturally, i was so gutted, i remember nearly crying to paul when i got home, little did i know that 48 hours later she would be in my arms lol.

Have you decided what sort of birth you would like? (apart from the obvious....short & painless )

 

[Sparklebaby]

lol at short and painless. ummmm well natural as poss but im open minded. def no pethadine, epidural if i really cannot cope. i want to try and remain active for as long as poss if i can and not ness lying down to give birth. was told lying down can actually slow things up cause of the position of coxix. if u lying down it pushe up into front slowing the baby down, where as say standing or kneeling allows the coxix to be pushed back with the pressure as its flexible. cant be pushed back if ur lying on it

 

[Kayleigh Lou]

Standing up is great!!! I squatted with Ella on what looked like a 'u shaped' potty with no bottom with Ollie on a big birthing ball cradling me so i didnt fall backwards. I was in the hospital for 20mins and then out she came! Best birth by far!!!!!!!

 

[3 girlies]

i had that with Reese, makes it really quick!

 

[Sparklebaby]

i seen a birth like that on you tube looks good. i think thats my way forward.
