I can't wait to phone hubby and tell him to come home as I'm in labour. Miss him already xx

This is the bit that really gets me excited too!!! I cant wait to fone him and tell him 'this is it!!!'

Im really excited about it all...i just want to be able to hand her to jamie and see him look at his daughter for the first time...and to tell my mum and dad, jamies mum and dad and all my sisters shes here! There will be some serious tears when they all meet her for the first time!! (i cant wait!)

Aimee i dont think my frame is coping very well as the pressure is mounting, some days i honestly feel like i might just snap! The cramped-ness i feel inside with all my organs is horrible!!

 

[pinkclaire]

Bw, maybe just wear a pad when you go if your worried about it? Might help a bit?

It's rubbish we need to go into labour to get to see our partners isn't it! Wish I could just win the lottery lol.


I read about the chemicals as well Aimee so I've washed everything this weekend, would rather not chance it. M couldn't believe how small the bibs looked he thinks they won't fit, we will see! I'm going to try do the rest of my bag, my mum is away until weds, obviously hubby is away as well, so should probably stop complaining about not going into labour as would be rubbish if I did right now! Friday night would do me lol.

Twiggy- I was moaning at the weekend that my body just wasn't designed for pregnancy lol. I honestly don't think I was meant to ever have a baby lol.

Np- great to have you back! Good luck for your scan I will go look at your pic now! My classes have finished now they were brilliant! In fact I'm meeting the girls tomorrow night I can't wait gives me something to look forward to. One of the girls had her baby on sat, another is being induced on weds, it's all very exciting!

callie- the house is great it makes such a difference having central heating especially in this weather think thats why OH decided to move in a wee bit earlier lol

Aimee- happy 33 weeks for yesterday hun (i think it was yesterday)

 

[Beautywithin]

welcome back callie!! i saw your pic, you have defo had a growth spurt, no doubt about it!

getting annoyed with doing my hopsital bag, everytime i think im done, there is a load of other things iv forgot.. anyone know where i can get some decent maternity pads from? looked in mothercare, but they didnt look that thick to me... looked in asda and morrisons and again.. not very padded... got a nightie.. that looked huge, and i was dead sure it would fit.. time it got over my bump., it barely covered my thighs... so got another... which on the hanger said size 12, then when i got in looked inside the label and it said 16.... i no its better baggy... but that was beyond silly!

Adams bag is all done.. at least!!! anyone started taking raspberry leaf tea..?? i keep meaning to get some.. see the MW tomoz. so hope she can tell me he is engaged! xx

 

[twiggy56]

Callie! wondered where you'd gone to! Good 2 have u back hun! Just seen the piccy and you've definitely had a growth spurt, bump is actually changing shape not just in size! Looks good luv!

Random, nice to have you back too luv, hope all the moving isnt too stressful! Sounds like you are getting settled though...must get us a before and after piccy of babys room!

Oh iv not started washing yet!! Its stressing me out...i need to take it down to my mums to wash as i want to use her tumble dryer to make all the newborn clothes, her crib sheets, towels and blankets really soft!! All the 0-3 i think il wash myself and just let to hang dry at our flat...just wanted all the newborn stuff she first touches to be nice and soft....however it means i need to do it in loads once a week when i go down to my parents house!! grr!

 

[pinkclaire]

Twiggy sounds like way to much hassle lol. I just bunged it all in the washer, although I do feel like I need to iron it all now which I wouldn't have if I'd got a tumble dryer!

Love the bump piccie Callie, I'll get a new one on tomorrow hopefully!

What have you guys had to eat today? I'm really struggling with my food due to heartburn, I know I'm not eating enough but don't know how to avoid it?

 

[nervouspains]

Thanks ladies

I am so tired today
I wish I had finished work at the end of December!

Iv packed most of Max's things now, and I only need to get a few more bits for my bag.
I got some materinty pads from babies r us, I just got 1 pack though as I thought il send OH out to get me some more nearer the time lol.
I heard always ultra thick night time pads were the best though

xxx

 

[twiggy56]

Yeah claire its a bit of a hassle but when we wash our own towels and stuff without a tonne of conditioner and left out to dry they just arent soft at all! Dont want to have all girlies newborn clothes all crispy lol!

I seen some maternity pads in tescos...think it was £1.99 for a pack, cant remember how manys in them. But callie i think ur right from what iv heard...the night ones are meant to be brilliant..

Well after Heidi's news last night i went and layed out all babys stuff for hospital...got 4 vests, 4 sleepsuits, snowsuit, 2 hats, 2 socks, scratch mits, 12 nappies, pack of wipes, nappy sacks, sudocream, 2 blankets and going home outfit....u think iv got it all for her bag??

 

[hayley x]

sorry i don't reply properly i use my phone most of the time and its hard to remember what you all say and i can't look back once writing.

maternity pads- i have the ones with wings from mothercare i found them by far the best when i had alex. i also had the boots ones they were ok but didn't have wings so i didn't feel as confident iykwim? and the nighties i got from primark for £3.50 and black cheap knickers that i'll throw away.

i have finished washing all the lady's clothes now, i did all newborn and 0-3 (obviously felt optimistic alex only wore a few things in tiny baby )

Aww claire i have horrendous heartburn think she is growing her hair

Xxx

 

[hayley x]

I don't think your meant to wear normal pads til your bleeding slows maybe after a week or something cause of infection cause they are too absorbant? just thought i'd say Xxx

 

[twiggy56]

oh thanks for the info hayley i didnt know that...hmm il maybe get some maternity ones with wings if i can find them them!

Iv absolutely no idea what to expect after birth...im hoping theres not too much bleeding!!

 

[nervouspains]

I know, im wondering how much I will bleed.

I have heard so many things, some bleed for 6 weeks, others longer, then the hospital gives you tablets to stop bleeding?
I dont get it

Im just going to let it sort itself out naturally.

What are you all doing about contraception?
OH and I decided that we want my body to stay 'natural' so are going to prob try lol and use condoms, othewise im going to start tracking my ovulation again and start listening to my body so I know when to avoid the love time lol xxx

 

[randomxx]

twiggy- i'll take a before pic as soon as hun just need all the tools removed from his room first lol but hopefully they get moved today OH's mum hasn't ordered the cot yet so he wont have that in his room until who knows when i just want all his stuff here so i can wash it lol and decide whats going to the hospital with me!

his mum's been knitting cardigans and stuff for him and i'd really like one for him to wear out of hospital but she's keeping them all until he's here i think, after ive washed everything and put it all away i'll have to do it all again as his mums got a big box full of stuff she's bought and knitted, so has his sister and his sis inlaw

i got maternity pads from boots that are thick (they dont have wings like hayley said) but were 99p for 10, i got a 6 pack of black pants from primark for £2.45

 

[pinkclaire]

I got pants from adsa, put also got a pack of disposible as well just in case lol.

Twiggy- sounds like you have loads of stuff to take, is that normal lol. If so I'm screwed hehe.

Hayley- my mum said she had really bad heartburn as well, and I'm carrying the same as her, everyone told her boy and she had 3 girls! My bets on girl for me, although we cannot agree on a girls name. M wants Ava, the first film we ever watched together was Wally and he thinks it's fitting! Also it's between Ellie or Ella, Emily or Lily. The good thing about Ava is I want Holly as the middle name and is the only one it would go with. What do you girls think?

I think I better find a bigger bag, so far I've got one for me, one for baby, a vanity case with my toiletries, and a bag full of
food. I'm going to be moving in! Maybe one of hubbys old army burkens will be big enough! Omg can you imagine they think I've turned up to go camping!

 

[pinkclaire]

Oh np you asked about contreception, I have no idea what to do, I was taking the pill when I got pregnant so I'm not trusting that ever again lol, plus I have problems with any hormone related, ie the implant, pill, etc, it makes me bleed a lot. Think I might give the coil ago. With my hubbys super sperm we'll have 10 kids before we know it lol xxx

 

[randomxx]

just off the phone to the HIP ppl and after checking with them before i sent of my form if it was okay to put baz's dads address as we were planning on moving and being told that was fine they have restricted my claim and the man now has to let head office know and because i dont have a bank account either thats held it up i told him i had checked and was told i'd recieve it as a giro cheque he was like oh right okay well i'll let head office know and they will then deal with it and send me my award letter then a week later the cheque so could be another month before either arrive lol!

the midwife i spoke to said the heartburn and hair myth is true!

PC- i like Ava, Emily and Ella tho you dont have to worry coz he's called Jimmy

i think i might get the coil fitted as that way its in for 3years doesn't affect my fertility or anything and i dont have to remember taking a pill everyday lol

 

[nervouspains]

PC- I love the name Ava, its so pretty, and Ava Holly sounds lovely too.
Thats my fav out of the names lol

Ooh id be frightend of the coil- I have heard horror stories lol, not for us, but for men... Ripped willy woo springs to mind! LOL

xx

 

[Beautywithin]

iv had the coil fitted, . but mine kept moving out of place, and was causing so much pain... then i went on the pill.. and was having extreme bleeding

OH is getting the snip in march! im not going to want anymore, and he feels he will be to old for us to have another... and to be honest, i dont want to go on in life having pregnancy scares....so this is the best thing for us..
so really i shouldnt moan so much, this is going to be my last few weeks of pregnancy, i wont experience it again


Claire- i love the name Ava and emily

 

[pinkclaire]

I think Ava is top, especially as it means something as well if that makes sense? Although not sure if I would want to be named after a robot lol.

We will see, I'm hoping it comes to me when I see her (if it is a her lol)

I've never heard that about the coil and men, lets hope M doesn't find that out I'll never get it! I told him to get the snip, he said he wouldn't cos then he'd have blank sperm, I was like yeah that's the point lol.

It's going to be so annoying to have to worry about getting pregnant again! Xx
