Morning everyone, feeling a bit better this morning after a nice long sleep Can't believe it's only 3 days till my due date. Still reckon this little one is going to keep me waiting for ages, lol. I've got a midwife appointment tomorrow so hopefully they'll book me in for a sweep appointment next week if I make it that far. Got to start doing SOMETHING to get the little madam out!

Good morning

I had a nice long sleep too last night after an earlyish night, but finding it very broken an by around 3-4am I am wide awake. I had couple of period like pains over night and early this morning too, I am very aware of every little twinge. Wish I could just forget about the impending due date. Keeping busy is all we can do I guess. We went and got ALL georges Christmas presents yesterday which was fun and pretty glad we did really as some of the toys he really wants and loves were already in very low supply. Just need to get a couple more stocking fillers hehe

Just wrapped my mums Christmas presents up too as we probably wont see her over Christmas as she is making the journey here for the birth instead. I love wrapping presents, but only when they ar square HAHA!

Getting some strong BH this morning, so hope this means we are getting somewhere.

Blergh I take back what I said earlier had some breakfast and then within half an hour had to run to the loo for more unpleasantness. Think I'm going to avoid food for the rest of the day, as it seems that whenever I eat it just goes through me can't believe I've managed to get some sort of bug when I'm 39 weeks pregnant! Hope the rest of you ladies are all feeling ok xxx

Raych don't your bowels try to clear themselves out before Labour starts ??

 

[Sun_Flower]

Hmm maybe? It's only happened once today... i had a really small lunch (because I felt so ill from not eating) and nothing else has happened in that department so fingers crossed I'm better. Guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens? I've got a midwife appointment tomorrow afternoon so I'll ask her then xx

Hey ladies..

Hope your all well.. Rachel Cassie.. getting so excited for you.. cant believe how fast time has gone..

Im still sick.. really starting to drive me nuts.. was up last night coughing all night.. now my head and lower back hurts from it.. stinks how there isnt much in pregnancy you can do to get a rid of colds.. so planning a lazy day today.. if i feel better may wrap a few more gifts later.. we will see..

 

[truthbtold]

Awww Im sick too, stuffy nose and sore throat. Kiddies always bring me home germs from school and daycare.

I hope someone goes into labor soon I love reading birth stories.

 

[lilrojo]

I know Erika.. I got mine from my dd who got hers from her cousins.. but now she is better and im still sick.. and nothing seems to be doing any good..

 

[truthbtold]

Wish I was home back in bed but Im trying to save my leave.

 

[cranberry987]

Are we all ill?! I've got a chest infection which is kicking my ass. Need rest and sleep but I'm wide awake at stupid o clock too for no reason. As soon as the sun comes up i can sleep but then i gotta go to work!!

Thinking about starting mat leave early if this doesn't clear up soon. Even working from home sucks.

 

[lilrojo]

Looks like we all must be sick.. its that time of year i guess.. ugh.. so i broke all the blood vessels in the right side of my face from coughing so hard last night.. i look great with red dots all over the face on that whole side.. ugh... yay

Just got done vac. and ate some soup for lunch.. doing all that i can to get arid of this cold.. my dd has coughed a few times so im praying she doesnt get my cold again... hope your all doing well..

 

[cranberry987]

Oh no! Hope they fade quickly.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Wow, can't believe we have 3 days for Rachel and 6 for Cassie... I'm banking on a baby or at least some labor by the end of the week!!
Rachel, that does sound promising about the bathroom issues... Andrea, didn't you have a similar symptom?
Oooooh so exciting!!!!
I would say that I'm not sick... but you know what happens when you do that... And actually, my asthma has been really bad over the past week, so I'm not exactly healthy.
Oh, and I completely forgot about this, but last night I was up feeling very very sick, like I was gonna throw up or pass out. I called DH to come in, thinking at least maybe he could distract me from it until it passed, but it didn't work.
This has happened to me a few other times before, pregnant and not, and one time we actually called 911 and they came... and said all my vitals were okay... actually by the time they came, I was feeling quite a bit better. So I knew not to bother this time, unless I had some extra worry like cramps or bleeding or something, which I didn't. And I took my temp and it was fine.
I have no idea what it was or why it happens... eventually I got more tired than sick and just went back to bed and when I woke up I was fine.

Anyway. Hope everyone is doing well and hope to see some babies born soon!!!
Happy 35 weeks, Cran!!
Happy 32 weeks, Ericka!!

*hugs* Jen that sounds awful, hope it doesn't happen too often for you! I think if we have a baby by the end of the week it'll be Macie, not Eden. She's far too comfortable where she is! I've got a midwife appointment tomorrow afternoon, I'll be 39+5. I could hope for a sweep or something but as far as I'm aware they don't do anything like that in the UK until you're officially overdue, so I won't be eligible for anything like that until at LEAST 40+5 I think. Factor in the odds of a sweep working first time and I'm looking at being around till 41+ lol. Oh well, she'll come out when she's ready, and as long as she's doing ok in there, I'm not going to force her out...

*sticks head down top and yells GET OUT at bump*

...

ahem.

Did it work?

That reminds me of the episode of Friends when Phoebe is pregnant with the triplets and she starts having contractions and she goes, "Ow! Ow! Ow!" Then she peeks down her shirt and says, "Oh, I was kind of hoping that was it."

 

[cranberry987]

Someone I know had a sweep at 39w (in the UK). If you pushed for it then they might do it, but it might just cause more issues than it solved if youre nowhere near ready

Bought a hat off ebay and it arrived. its so fricking cute. https://www.flickr.com/photos/helenshingler/6349703025/

[AmaryllisRed]

Bleh. No one in labor yet?

DS is a mess this morning. He woke up too early again. Argh.
Think I'm going to go get some steak. Bowl of cereal two hours ago and I'm famished again.

 

[truthbtold]

I hope everyone else feels better because I just seem to be getting worse.Gosh I hate being sick. I can hardly breathe

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Can you take anything? Being sick stinks.

 

[truthbtold]

Not that I know of, some say tylenol products but I dont know if that includes cold medicines
