Beautiful bumps!

Don't be sad that the scans are over! No more scans means that you are having a healthy, uncomplicated pregnancy I had over 10 scans with my daughter as she had IUGR, this time I'm praying no scans, no complications.

Anyone thinking about the birth yet? I want an all natural, naked, animal style birth with just me and OH and a MW in the background just to keep an eye on the health of me and bubs.

I've made our list of everything we need too! We're not getting many gadgets etc. this time but plenty of clothes, blankets, bottles etc. and all the basics

I have become a bit of an ebay addict and now have over 30 things for newborn size. Oopsie!

Also, I would say to everyone to buy a few tiny baby sleepsuits and vests or at least Next's "New Baby - Up to 7.8lbs" smallest size. I know most babies under 8lb won't into newborn sized clothes for at least a couple of weeks in my experience so grab a pack of 5 vests and sleepsuits just incase. I find the ones labelled up to 10lb especially huge! I know my nephews were above average weight at 7lb 10+ each but newborn swamped them although they filled out into it after 2/3 weeks anyway! My LO was only 5lb8 and was in premature clothes for a good month then tiny baby and not in newborn until she was a couple of months old. I want a BIG baby this time. I'm desperate for 7lb+ at least LOL.

 

[molly85]

Am with you there star dust, at about 6 days old I had to leave abs to go shopping OH couldn't face it. Thankfully a friend had some prem stuff 16 inches and 5lb10 shrinking to 5lb3 required squitty little clothes lol. she's still in 6-9 month clothes at 10 months with loads of trouser space just starting to get a bit tall for tops

 

[Koolmami]

Wow, girls you are all so skinny and bumps are so out there! You all look gorgeous! Might post a pic later if I can figure it out how to do it again... Did any of you had anything special for Mother's Day? I've got a card from bump/OH and stayed in bed pretty much all day having homemade choc cookies which OH manage to make out of the blue. Lovely! x

 

[Mosnippy]

awww that is lovely...no nothing special... but OH is not the one to go out and do stuff..but i told him next year i want breakfast in bed lol

but shame his two oldest childrens mother, so his ex wrote on my facebook happy step-mothers day and to thank me for beign a big part of there lives and happy mommy to be...which made me all well up as that was sweet of her.

ohhh i bought a new car today..when i say new..i mean used lol... my car was busted and really hate buses and taxis so took the plungejust a little run around.. so happy am back on the road again!!!

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Didn't really do much on Mother's Day but me and Toby did a lot f baking the day before and we just pigged out on that on Mother's Day morning. He drew me a picture, made me a flower and wrote me a card bless him and we went to see OH's dad as Toby hadn't seen him in a while and enjoys going round. Didn't get anything from bump as OH isn't very proactive in that sense and doesn't really think about that kind of thing...he didn't even get his own mother a present and card until 5 o clock ON MOTHER'S DAY!!! lol. Luckily she was in York for the day so he had time to write out the card before she got home so it looked like he was prepared lol...to be fair he did have his wisdom teeth out on Monday and local anaesthetic doesn't really work on him, he burns it off really fast, and by the time they got to the second tooth it had run out (they'd already used as much as they're legally allowed) and he just did without because he knew if they didn't take it out then he wouldn't go back lol so he's been in a lot of pain all weekend...however he could've gone shopping last weekend lol.

Well feel like I may have rambled there lol. Very excited to finish work as my sister has come home from uni for Easter and I'm excited to see her. There's only 14 months between us so we're really close and it's kind of weird not having her around whilst I go through this pregnancy. Luckily she'll be back for the summer when Lily's born and will get to know her before she goes back

 

[Mosnippy]

awww thats exciting yoru sister is coming!!

i feel a bit nervous today.. i been summoned to the dr something about my blood tests...

when I had my 12 week bloods, and follow up with midwife all was ok..as per the midwife. But when I went to the Dr they said to me my blood count was borderline I need to have a full blood count redone. Which I had done when I had my 20 week scan, I mentioned this to midwife that they where doing this, and she was completely baffled as to why as according to her everything is ok.

well yesterday get called saying I need to come in they want to see me regarding my blood tests!!! so now i am a bit stressed! and why is one saying Im ok and other saying im not!

arghhhh lol.. joy!

 

[misse04]

[molly85]

I saw both our mms with ABs and my Moonpig card arrived yesterday!

I'd just not like to sneeze to deliver that baby

 

[kmbabycrazy]

The kind of birth I want is similar to the one I had last time with doing most of it at home (was 9cm when I got to hospital with Toby) with no drugs all natural but would like to give birth in a better position. Was on my back last time and they wouldn't let me move for some reason, every time I tried to sit up they pushed me back. This time I'd like to give birth crouching as I think it'll be easier...I was pushing for 1 hour 20 minutes with Toby so I'd like to not be pushing quite as long this time and I think a better position with gravity on my side will help that lol

I had a terrible time pushing with my LO. It actually only took 35mins but most of it was where the top of her head was out but I couldn't get it past my pelvic bone as they wouldn't let me sit up or turn over. After 30mins I pushed them off me and turned over and she was out within a few mins! This time I want to try kneeling or crouching as LO was blue when she was born from her head being stuck.

I want to stay at home as long as possible too but we live 45mins from the hospital and we have to drop LO off at Mums too so I don't want to leave it too late and have an in car birth

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Stardust bless you. I actually didn't mean to do that much at home my labour was just really quick lol. I wanted to have a homebirth this time but it's OH's first and he said he's just too nervous to do it at home so I agreed to go into the hospital to actually have the baby. He said that if all goes well this time then if and when we have the next I can have it at home. I just hate hospitals so much. I was told when I had my son that I could go home 6 hours after he was born if everything was ok. Well everything was fine and I was in for 36 hours afterwards. Am just gonna leave as soon as possible this time if everything is ok lol. I can't stand hospitals
