September 2021 due date babies!!!

[MadamRose]

Due date bump!!!

 

[Neversayno]

@MadamRose I've been told the same so I’m also looking for ideas!! I’ve walked miles, bounced on the ball, up and down the stairs!!

out of ideas now haha and sex isn’t an option!

 

[Neversayno]

@MadamRose what did she recommend? My MW just said bouncing on ball, walking etc

 

[atx614]

@Bittersweet sorry the first night was rough! Things will calm down soon! I feel like the first few weeks are a blur and then everything starts falling into place or your body just gets used to sleep deprivation lol.

@LoneWanderer oh no!!! I really hope it’s a 24 hour bug. I would have him test just in case since he was at work last week.

@MadamRose stepping up on a curb sideways is suppose to help. Or going up the steps sideways as someone mentioned a bit ago. Suppose to
Move baby down. Also squatting and pelvic tilts (on your hands and knees and move pelvis forwards) FXd for you!!

 

[atx614]

@Neversayno are you going into labor naturally or have a scheduled induction? I’m sorry I can’t remember!!

 

[MadamRose]

@Neversayno she said sitting on my ball and walking up the stairs sideways - normal walking clearly hasn’t worked for me

 

[LoneWanderer]

Aye he's negative on lateral and we get a pcr tomorrow at preop anyway. 99% sure it's not covid, but I *am* pretty sure it's the dreaded norovirus...

He works at the hospital so it's always doing the rounds, be fucking typical if he caught it very last day before seven months off!!!

I feel a bit off this aft but that could just be from stressing about catching it and therefore just imagining it. Equally the baby seems fine but then maybe a bit quiet so second guessing that too..?

Possible terrible scenarios include my mother catching it and us having no childcare (so I have to go in for section alone while other half watches baby), baby getting it (he's never been ill yet, one of the very few perks of lockdown, so absolutely no way could I leave him if he was poorly for first time), other half still having it by weds and not being allowed in theatre, or worst of all, me getting it and the whole delivery being screwed (not to mention how awful being ill at 39+ must be!)

Little bit bloody stressed today haha!

 

[atx614]

Oh man! That’s a lot of stress @LoneWanderer!! Really hoping it passes quickly and no one else gets it. The timing sucks for sure though!

 

[LoneWanderer]

Aye me too! I literally never get sickness bugs when they do the rounds BUT I've not put that to the test when exceptionally pregnant before.

 

[Neversayno]

@Neversayno are you going into labor naturally or have a scheduled induction? I’m sorry I can’t remember!!

i have an elective booked for 31st but I’m hoping to go into labour naturally now I know baby should be ‘average size’ I’ve contacted my consultant about cancelling but am yet to hear back!

 

[Neversayno]

@Neversayno she said sitting on my ball and walking up the stairs sideways - normal walking clearly hasn’t worked for me

yep same for me!!! Ahh well good luck! (I can’t help but walk like a crab for a good hour after doing the side walking stair routine haha)

 

[LoneWanderer]

On a lighter note...

So obviously I'm on strict orders not to eat from Tuesday night onwards, but that means I can demand absolutely whatever I want for my 'last supper' before the big day and other half has to make it happen!

So... I'm trying to decide what I want! What would y'all have? Send me some good dinner ideas!!

 

[atx614]

I would eat a whole lot of pasta and bread for my last meal if I didn’t have GD!! Sounds so good.

 

[LoneWanderer]

God I love pasta, I dunno how you are coping, you absolute trooper! Hope everything goes back to normal ASAP once baby has arrived and you can enjoy what you want again!

 

[atx614]

Thank you!! I hope so too! I had GD with my daughter too and thank god I could eat what I wanted as soon as she was out. Hoping that’s the case again as I already have my meal planned for after birth lol

 

[MadamRose]

@LoneWanderer not quite the same but our order for the first night with baby is Chinese

 

[Zoboe95]

@Bittersweet I hope things are settling for you!

I feel weird today, I don't know what weird, but just weird! ...I think it's probably relaxing as much as anything, because I've finished work! I am also feeling a lot pregnant today, baby keeps shoving her bum against my side, and I can feel it poking out

 

[Zoboe95]

Ooh I could just eat a Chinese takeaway tonight!!

 

[MadamRose]

So I spent a few hours on my ball done the food shopping, watch a film and had a bit longer on the ball then I had a nap. Been having small pains on and off all day but putting them down to the sweep rather than them being actual pains as they don’t really seem to be changing much

 

[Neversayno]

@MadamRose we’ve gone for Indian but after having GD and not eating anything naughty my choice would be Chinese! Hope the pains turn into something. I’ve done lots of walking today and some bouncing! I’m taking my aunties to Mecca Bingo this evening!! So cheesy but they love it!

@atx614 they don’t focus so much on the carbs here in the UK but I have been really aware not to eat them after lots of reading online!

@LoneWanderer i love the fact you are planning the meal - what have you decided on!
