****September Stars!!**** - 119 Babies Born!!

Ann: All I did was create letter stencils from cardboard and then traced the letters on the fabric I picked out. Then I cut out the letters from the fabric. And "starched" them to the wall. How you make the starch is dissolve 1/4 cup cornstarch into a cup cold water and bring it to a boil...in no time it thickens to this jelly like substance.
You spread some of that jelly on the wall (it's tacky so the fabric sticks) and then once in place you smear some on top of the fabric as well...then you let it dry. If ever you screw up you just wet it down with water and the fabric peels off the wall and you start over! Voila!!

Hello fellow septemberos!

How is everyone? This heat is doing my head in now I have had enough, think I need to invest in a paddling pool! How is everyone else coping?

I also have really bad hayfever and I am constantly sneezing which means I am constantly weeing myself! lol!

Finally took an up to date bump pic so here you are me today 30+3 - Still think I am looking small compared to other ladies ;-( Although baby is measuring a week ahead!

Bekks - get bouncing on a gym ball - helps the baby get used to getting in a head down position. I can recommend the Davina one in the Argos book which is only £9.99

Morning everyone! Quick post this morning, I am going to try and do a bit of cleaning and then get the doggies walked whilst Jack is in a good mood! Will catch up later! Good luck for all with MW appointments and scans today! Catch up later on. xx

 

[Mrs_N]

morning!
lots to do today, best make sure I don't overdo it or I'll be in trouble!
loving all the bump pics
I have no idea what position my baby is in - I get a lot of kicks down at my right hip and also up by my stomach - I guess one could be punches

 

[MrsJ08]

Mrs N - I'm getting kicks/punches in the same places as you. According to my scan last week and the consultant yesterday the baby is head down at a slight angle so maybe your baby is the same?

Boony - welcome over

Well I've just been on the phone to ante-natal having a bit of a moan about my consultant appointment and trying to see the MW. Apparently if I have consultant appointments I'm not meant to see the MW too as it's a duplication of work and they are supposed to do all the MW checks. I said well that would be the case if the consultant actually did what the MW is supposed to do. I haven't seen my MW since I was 16 weeks so I've insisted on seeing her and they finally gave me an appointment for next Tuesday. I told them this is my first baby and I'm nervous, I want to talk to someone who actually cares about how I feel, who can give me advice and who I can talk about my birth plan with. Not a doctor who in her own words said her appointments were "just to follow up my scan results" and who isn't interesting in listening to me at all and wants to get me out of the room asap. Grrrr! Is it really that much to expect to have a relationship with the person who will be delivering my baby, rather than a stuck-up consultant I'm unlikely to see and I wouldn't want there anyway?! Sorry for the rant but it is really hacking me off now. It will be interested to see what the MW has to say about it next week, especially as according to my care plan notes I was supposed to have blood taken yesterday for a full blood screen and antibodies and that wasn't done. Is anyone else having consultant-led care but still seeing their MW too?

I'm starving so I'm off to make some toast. Catch you all later x

 

[Asher]

MrsJO8 I don't blame you for wanting some support! Your consultant sounds as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike. Not good. Hopefully you will be able to get a bit of a connection with your MW, as you say, as she'll be part of the team when you deliver your little one. I understand completely. My MW is really nice, a bit dopey dare I say it, but lovely. She has been my named MW with all of my pregnancies and actually text me when I had to go up to the hospital at my 16 week appointment. She also doesn't need to read my notes to know I want a homebirth, cos she remembers, and I think it's things like that that make you appreciate the relationship you have with them.

I'm also the same as you MrsJ and MrsN with my kicks and punches. I also get big moves on my left side which I think is him sticking his bum out. MW said last week that she's head down at an angle too, so similar to the both of you!

Cleaning done, washing out, time to go for a wander with the doggies and the three year old!

 

[MrsJ08]

Thanks Asher, it's good to know I'm not just being a demanding moany cow!

 

[becs0375]

Good on you Mrs J, its all very well seeing the consultant but your mw is someone to ask all the questions you need answers to. I saw my consultnat at my 12 weeks scan and I don't have nothing to do with her till my 36 week scan. So mine is mainly mw led care. My consultant was lovely I found her to be not overly interested in me or any questions I had.

I am sat here browsing the internet for baby things, I really think because there is so much choice I am getting fussy with what I want lol!!!

 

[Carley22]

oo me too with the head down bum up side poking baby.... at least thats what theyare saying. my big movements are on my right side though. 3 more days till 4d scan woop woop.

 

[Mrs_N]

ooh thats interesting, sounds like baby could be in the same position then!
I guess midwife will check at my next appointment? That's not until 31 weeks though.

Good for you MrsJ08, I hope the midwife can give you some support.

 

[Dolly.]

Hi Everyone
Welcome over Boony

Mrs J, your consultant sounds like a right moody mare. Hope you have a better time with your midwife and get some proper support you are entitled to.

I feel much cooler today so in a better mood, especially as I've been to aquanatal

Reeeeeally looking forward to my first NCT antenatal class today, don't know what to expect so will fill you in later. I was disappointed to find out that there are no NHS antenatal classes for our area neither are tours of the labour ward So my lovely parents took pity and booked us the NCT classes, hoping they will ease my nerve about the birth etc

Hope everyone has a good day x
