I always shorten my due date when i get those 'oh wow, you must be due soon?!'....i just tell them yeah end of next month too!! lol. Only to strangers though...

sounds like you are getting there with your hospital bag though hun, iv not really started. Bought a nightie out of Peacocks coz it had buttons down the front and it was only £4...so thought it would do for feeding in hospital!

Have u got a date in mind u would like to have it completely packed?? Im thinking as long as its done by 36 weeks il be happy!

 

[Beautywithin]

Yes by 36 weeks!! i had it done by then with Paris, and i must have un packed and repacked it a dozen times because i had nothing better to do!

OH has annoyed me, he wants to go on hol in May, which fair enough we need a break we havent been away since we have been together, but he wants to pay for it now, which will then leave us skint he dont get paid again till the 26 jan. by which that time Adam could be here, im getting his pram, but there are still other bits we need, and i dont want to risk paying for the holiday then struggling to get the last bits we need for baby, am i being unreasonable? x

 

[randomxx]

BW- your not being unreasonable theres the added cost of holiday clothes and spending money on top of everything else you have to get for Adam why not ask him to wait until July or something that gives you an extra 2 months

i fell 3 times on the way home from work managed to do the splits one time and land on my hand instead of my back one of the others but managed not to hurt bump or back thought that was a bit of an accomplishment lol!

needed to go xmas shopping aswell and seen as the snow is ment to be worse tomorrow made OH go tonight took him 1 hour to get the car out of our street lol!

morning. I had the worst trapped wind of my life in the night, i was awake from 2-5am in agony. It still hurts now but no way near as bad. I have a cold too which didnt help, my head is thumping. Im going to have a lazy day today, just doing a bit of housework here & there. Im doing my food shopping tonight with my twin, i bet it will be rammed in morrisons. I only really need veg for xmas dinner.

i told Reese that father christmas comes tomorrow night, she is so excited, i cant wait to see there faces!!

Morning ladies,

MW's went well
I asked her a few questions, he is still head down yay
She was feeling his head- I could feel it too when she was pressing both sides! She said ooh yes thats defintly a head! He has got a biggg head already lol. She said my uterus is where it should be... But she doubts I am carrying a 6 pound baby now lol, he is probably just a little above avarage as he has always been.
She said the sore bits round my mouth are due to pregnancy and no matter how much sudo or vaseline I slap on them, they wont heal up until after iv had Max... she said its due to having more saliver and it seeps to the corners of the mouth Eugh lol
Oh I asked her about why my consultant may choose to induce me and she said that if you have lost a baby, or a pregnancy has ended, then they tend to induce you earlier, probably at term- so im hoping at my 34 week scan, I may have a better idea of whats going on
Im going to ask my consultant if I will be inducded before my due date and if he is still big would it be earlier as I wouldnt want to go over and have a c-section

I got my antinatal classes though yay! Mine starts on the 7th so I have a whole morning off work lol yay

Oh 3girlies, thats the worst! I always try and roll lol.

Oh thats another thing I asked my mw- I said do you have to sleep on the left? She said no, what ever is most comftable, but the reason they advise that is because there is a vein in your back on the right that basically if it gets to much weight shifted on it can actually make you go light headed, it doesnt really affect the baby that much... she said if you want to sleep on your back, get a flat pillow and put it under your right side, just so you are raised up a bit.
I also asked her about waking in the night with a sick feeling, she said where the baby is pushing your stomatch up, it is reflexing the food, so its better to try and sleep slightly 'sitting up' or try gaviscon or even just water to was it back down again. lol. lovely!

Oh and I have decided to be a good girl- Im going to tryyyy very hard not to buy anything for me in the sale as OH said I can get a eternity ring for when Max is born, so noooooo spending for me. Oh my god I am so bad, I am like a magpie lol

I have got literally nothing for my hospital bag! Just a few mini toiletries! Im going to get all I need in the sales, well try too, as well as things for Max, and then I should know what to def put in it after my scan

Oh and YAY happy 32 weeks to Twiggy and Moi!!

xxx

Just odered my pram Yay

https://www.kiddicare.com/webapp/wc...014_10001?cm_vc=UnpublishedProductAlternative

Glad he is still head down callie! my bubs is head down but not enagaged, least he is going in the right direction tho lol x

 

[nervouspains]

Lol when he is engaged does that mean he is getting ready to make an apprence? lol
And can he change from that? My mw said soon he will engage and then I will feel a new pain instead of the current one on my pelvis lol

YAY I love it BW!! Another hauck
I was going to get the version of that without the carry cot- but as you know I got the jeep instead lol xxx

 

[3 girlies]

its lovely bw

np my baby is a monkey, one min head down the next breech lol, got antenatal tomorrow so hope shes head down again.

 

[nervouspains]

I was wondering- I just had a look on Babies r us in the sale... there are a few things I wouldnt mind buying... Do you think I should wait or buy? xx

 

[twiggy56]

Woo happy 32 weeks callie! Glad things went well at your app hun...i had mine this morning and i actually had a healthy blood pressure reading for once!! Think it was because jamie and i trekked in the snow to get to the app! Also measuring 32cms which is surprising as i feel waaaay bigger! Little lady is also head down...woo!

BW- that pram is fab! how long do u have to wait for delivery at this time of year?! Also, i dont think ur being unreasonable with wanting to pay for the holiday a couple of months later...there is no point in paying for it now when there are other expenses- always unexpected ones at this time of year i find too...heating&elec bills also shoot up 4 us this time of yr, so we always try budget around now.

hugs 3g's ...iv just gotten over this damn cold, its horrible. Cant take bugger all for it! I resorted to a natural 'isotonic salt water' nasal spray as you're not even allowd vicks!! Just hav a lazy day hun...too bleedin cold 2 venture out anyways i say!!

Hi all.

Well bit of a pain last night. I got out of the bath and was just laying in bed and had what i felt like was a big leak. There was a big wet patch on the bed so i rang the labour ward and they asked us to go in.
They put me on the monitor for half an hour to see how his movements were which were fine then they did a quick check with the speculum thing.
Everything seems fine they said that i just have a hell of a lot of discharge They did a swab of it and said they are looking to see if it is normal or an infection so hopefully it is normal.

There was a woman in the bed next to us who came in about half an hour after we got there who was in labour. Kayden and Wayne looked shocked lol. She was checked and sent basically straight to the labour area.
You could hear them talking and her boyfriend or who ever he was said they were at the supermarket a couple of hours before! It was her 4th baby though...

Heidi yes it was me who gave that link, Kayden loved it too. He was confused for ages about how he knew everything!

Glad everything is well Callie and the consultant answered all your questions!

Happy 32 weeks girls!

 

[twiggy56]

ooh aimee, hope it comes back clear?! How strange...iv been having increased discharge but not to that extent? Did they say what it would mean?

I think id prob just get scared if i saw someone in labour...im going for the 'blissfully ignorant' stance!!

 

[nervouspains]

I noticed I have increaded DC too- I asked mw about that as well, she said its all normal, just liek the extra saliver in my mouth

Oh what a fatty I am- im having KFC for lunch... again! lol xx

 

[Beautywithin]

Oh just been looking at my notes...

it says uterine size 35cm

position WA? whats that mean?

BP 110/60

 

[3 girlies]

i have cleaned my whole house from top to bottom, even cleaned out the guinea pigs. I only have to change the sheets on my bed & then im all sorted for xmas eve tomorrow. I thought it would take ages but the girls played nicely with their dolls house while i cleaned the bathroom then Roxie fell asleep while i did downstairs. So im not stressed like yesterday lol. I remembered to get my turkey out of the freezer too so i'm organised!!!!

I have even managed to have some peanut butter on toast & a cuppa!!

I havent had my tummy measured for 3 weeks coz they cancelled my appointment coz of the snow & they didnt check it at the hospital. I think shes grown alot so i reckon i'll be 34cm ish tomorrow. I think shes head down again, although shes still not moving much so its hard to tell. Im gonna mention it in the morning coz its really not like her to be this quiet. Im not sure if they have a monitor at the birthing centre or if they will send me to the main hospital. I looked at my notes from the hospital & it said i had blood in my urine sample & ketones, i though ketones meant you havent eaten enough??? trust me i am not starving

 

[nervouspains]

My BP has always been 120-125 over 60 but yesterday it was 130 over 60

It should have the short code words at the back of your yellow book BW
xx

 

[AimeeM]

She just said she was looking for the normal things they look for so i assume it is bacterial vaginosis and i don't know if anything else?

I don't know how they can be so much either but she said it can be normal but it is just like water, clear, doesn't smell of anyhthing it just feels wet. God knows but if was serious i think they would have known and done something.

afternoon ladies

happy 32weeks callie and Laura

Aimee im sure everythings alright if they had been worried they would have let you know

BW- i never understand what they write in my notes lol tho she wrote lung for his position yesterday and he was high up on my right side lol i think they have their own wee secret language they couldn't just make it simple for us to understand

3girlies- is ketones not to do with protein?? and well done you on the house tidy

is it just me or have babies'r'us released more cotbedding theres now one called home sweet home and you can get the i love my bear in pink and blue aswell????

 

[twiggy56]

Even my mum couldnt understand what my midwife put in my notes BW!! lol. So i think every midwife has their own individual shorthand! Totally confusing...

mmm, callie- now im totally wantin a kfc!! What did u have?!

Aimee im sure they would have expressed concern if it was anything serious, let us know though if anything comes back...

random- i was guna have a look at the babies r us sale but dont know if there will be more reductions in january/boxing day?! Maybe saving the best stuff 4 then....
