I've been researching it Irmaster!

Mosnippy people telling me I won't make it to 40 weeks but the closer it gets the less I believe them unless they do of course induce because of my size. But I think here it's not so much they'll induce me early but won't let me go over. So maybe book induction for my due date?

 

[Mosnippy]

sounds like a plan!

i think i will go over lol but OH doesnt...well i just said to him he will come when he comes lol

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Well my whole family were convinced I would have Toby early and he was 5 days late x

 

[Mosnippy]

well just had a burst of cleaning lol my god the more i clean the more i find something that annoys me that needs to be cleaned! god help me!

sitting now as back is killing me...then start again lol

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Yeah done downstairs, tomorrow's task is upstairs. Saturday is making the punch and cakes and other food that needs to settle for the baby shower, and sorting the prizes and then my lovely friend has offered to come and help me set up for the shower on Sunday. x

 

[Mosnippy]

just cleaned kitchen floor...i love my kitchen but times like this i wish it was smaller haha tiles are a bitch to clean!

my mom arrived tommorrow morning and then she is invading my kitchen to bake and cook.. bless her! just worry what they have planned! my mom is not normal lol

 

[molly85]

Organised ladies. I need to get going or sorting the kids room and ours! I think Abby might be spending a day with her grandmum next week so we can get on 4 weeks now seems a very short period of time

 

[Mosnippy]

4 weeks seems like nothing now! shocking at how quick it alll has gone!

my last day of work tommorrow whooop whoooppppp so glad!

then nesting will begin lol

 

[molly85]

Mosnippy all 4's now all teh way to the end back to back labour is evil it's meant to help being on all 4's

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I know. Can't believe I'm 36 weeks tomorrow. Scary stuff. We're so close to the finish!! I feel so unorganised. Still need to sort out upstairs. Looking forward to baby shower on Sunday as I've not let myself buy anything for baby for weeks as I don't want to end up with duplicates so will be making a list of the things I still need and then crossing off what we get at the baby shower. But I think shopping for the last bits is all I need to do apart from clean the house and stock the freezer x

 

[Mosnippy]

same i am waiting to see what i get at shower then go shopping lol..

only big thing i need is feeding pillow. thats it otherwise just all clothes and toiletries i need!

 

[Mosnippy]

oh and spare bedding etc

 

[molly85]

Ohh feeding went on my would be nice list today. no idea what to actually get as I want a new wrap for badger possible and definitely a carrier for abs so we hcan have days out buggy free

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I just wrote a list and most of it is non-essential just things we'd like. Like the house isn't massive so we don't need a monitor but would like one just in case. Still need a travel cot as we plan on visiting family a couple of months after baby is born and Toby's dad has given his away despite the fact it was a gift from my mum and not his to give. He also gave away the £80 high chair that was in excellent condition without speaking to me about it first!!! It's rather pissed me off! We still need some more bedding, don't have enough cot sheets or moses basket sheets and some sleeping bags as they're easier and we could always do with more clothes lol. Oh and I would like a cot mobile. But apart from that I think we've got everything sorted.

 

[molly85]

Kiddie care have a travel cot for £25 if you don't want the bassinet bit. I got a 2nd hand reclining high chair for badger so he's safe off the floor from his horrible sister. I am expecting to have to try solids from 16 weeks so a Ikea High chair isn't so great at that age

 

[kmbabycrazy]

No I know. Toby was on baby rice at 13 weeks old once a day and so it was a reclining high chair with adjustable height which is why I wanted it because I want to be cautious. I would've given him some money towards having it myself because we both paid for it but to just give it away when it was in brill condition and cost that much money without asking if it was okay. There was also a pushchair in his mum's loft but I bet that's gone too x

 

[molly85]

typical! this high chairs in the loft at the moment. Bet their on steak and chips before we can blink. Bean has been gnawing on meat with her gums for way to long it feels now.

 

[misse04]

Weve had a really good day and she has been properly walking and showing off. I'm so uncomfortable today ... hoping hes turned round?after walking ound sealife centre had to sit down i was in so much pain with BHs. Are MW appointmets every week now? or is it just because they need to check me to see if hesbreech?

(excuse spelling , im on my mums laptop with the worst keyboard in te world!)

 

[stardust599]

I have a laptop yay! Well actually its my Mums but it'll do for now!

I had a terrible practise labour again last night. Earlier on in the day I had horrible back pains and not quite diarrhoea but like loose bowels... sorry TMI! Didn't think anything of it. at 11pm ish and went to bed, started mild contractions at midnight which got worse until at 1am I was having to get up and breathe through them. I couldnt get the hang of the contraction timer app on my phone haha but they were every 5-6mins but not lasting very long (like 40-50secs). It was like a belt building up round my hips and lower back and at the peak was like a really sharp, nippy hard ball in my tummy then it released and started to throb away. They were exactly the same paints I got a few hours after the prostin pessary with LOs induction so must be my cervix softening up! I felt weirdly calm though, I knew that if baby wasn't ready it wouldn't come to anything. I just used them to practise relaxing and breathing etc. for the real thing. It was SO weird though, I made myself lie down and switch my mind off and when one started I let my body go all floppy and relaxed and just accepted it and when I checked the time I'd been doing that for an hour and gone into a weird trance thing! It faded off and was completely gone by 4am. But LO gets up at 6 so I have been exhausted today

I checked my cervix (been doing this for years) and it's not really any different from usual, still 2cm but kind of long/thick so don't think my little practise did anything

I have everything for baby now, got my carseat today and tried it out I have a swing and bouncer for baby but my LO thinks they are hers so I will never be able to put baby in them anyway. Mum is supposed to be buying my cot (I'm getting the Graco Petite Bassinet for our room) but I think money is a bit tight for her so I might just buy it myself and say I forgot she was getting it! Need to pick up a stand for Moses Basket too!

Hospital bags packed and hanging from the end of the bed too! And all baby clothes are washed and ironed (thanks Mum!) but have nowhere to put them yet so they are still at my Mums. I can't wait to get to 37-38 weeks so I can try some EPO or RLT etc. I don't want to just now as I'm scared I push things a little too early with the contractions I've been having. Think I will get some Clary Sage oil too incase my contractions are rubbish like my last labour - they were so painful but so short they weren't doing anything at all!
