Anyone who hasn't done it before - make sure what you give birth in is old and don't do a me and wear your lovely new breastfeeding nightie (cream) as baby ill be dropped on you to hold once it's out! only had it on 2hrs Confused

camera/mobile for all those pics
maternity clothes to wear for going home
pads (ten double the amount you think you will need and add a handful more for good measure!)

Ahh do you usually go to them for x mas lulu? Is it far?

Hopefully (fingers crossed) il be with my little man on x mas day!

Starting to become v anxious again though, he tends to go very quiet on Fridays and it panics me every time Confused

Ducky23 · 08/08/2014 20:30

Haha lulu thy were on my list I must have just skipped over them!

Got to get a nighty too just incase it ends in c section apparently you can't wear bottoms because of the catheter

LuluJakey1 · 08/08/2014 20:27

PIL are here. MIL very impressed with Goldenball's DH's afternoon tea effort. Her only point for improvement was the sandwiches were like doorstops and could have been more delicate. He is very pleased with himself. The cake was amazing.

We have told them we are having Christmas alone at home this year. 10 days before EDD and we just want a quiet time. They thought it was sensible. MIL said she wouldn't be able to be bothered with travelling and fuss by that stage. They will drive up for the day on 23rd but not stay- drop pressies off etc, bring Grandmas. I am happy with that.

LuluJakey1 · 08/08/2014 20:16

What about knickers Ducky?

Ducky23 · 08/08/2014 20:01

Haha, well I didn't have any hospital bag with me last time cus it all happened a bit unexpectedly and I refused to beleive I was in labor and the hospital gave me some pads and I swear they were bigger than the pillows Blush

Cupcake92 · 08/08/2014 19:17

Cupcake92 · 08/08/2014 18:18

What's on ur list Ducky? :p

Ducky23 · 08/08/2014 18:09

Hahahaha I think I had my list done when I was 4 weeks! :,)

Cupcake92 · 08/08/2014 18:08

I should hope so Ducky as I'm already terrified I'll go into early labour again! I really don't want that :(

I've already started a "hospital bag list" hahaa! :p

Ducky23 · 08/08/2014 17:55

Im assuming you will be high risk too cupcake, I would hope so!

I'm so excited to give birth Grin trying to hold off on my hospital bag haha il so tempted to start but don't want the stuff to go smelly!

Cupcake92 · 08/08/2014 17:53

Good Ducky! I hope they do increase ur scans!
All NHS do is worry about how much things will cost them now. They should NEVER cut back on treatment and scans etc.

I can't wait for my scan but I've got a whole month to wait :( eugh so long!!!

Ducky23 · 08/08/2014 16:26

Me, I thought that with dd, in the end didn't have any pain relief until the very end Smile

Cupcake I don't know Sad it's like they said all that stuff last time to make sure I didn't take any action agains them (I could have done) and now they think I forgt about what happened Hmm but I bloody haven't! My midwife is going to sort it apparently and increase the scans from what I should have had if I had what they promised me in the first place Grin

Cupcake92 · 08/08/2014 15:41

Me I can't wait for birth haha I was terrified with DS but with DC2 I can't wait :) it's amazing and yes it's painful but there's so much available to help with that pain.
Gas and air is amazing!! That'll make u happy right away haha Grin
Good luck Me ! Hope u get ur bfp this month!! :)

Me624 · 08/08/2014 15:23

The idea of any kind of birth slightly terrifies me, when it's my time I just want as many drugs as possible!

I've been doing well so far on the 2ww but I'm quite bored at work today which doesn't help, as it means I'm spending loads of time on mn and thinking about it all lots! One more week to go ...

Cupcake92 · 08/08/2014 13:48

Thanks Iam I hope so too :)

Oo Bears I'd love a water birth!! But epidural like u say is very nice and pain free haha :p

Bearsinmotion · 08/08/2014 11:15

My mum is staying with us for the weekend, she doesn't know yet as we were waiting for the scan (next Thursday!). Am trying to hold my massive tummy in all the time!

Saw the high risk clinic yesterday, consultant says I can try for a water birth this time! Am not sure about that, quite enjoyed the no-pain pre-induction epidural last time! Spontaneous labour sounds too scary!

iamdivergent · 08/08/2014 10:32

TY Cupcake; hope the time goes fast til your scan and you can start to relax x

OP posts:
Cupcake92 · 08/08/2014 10:26

It's awkward the weeks before the scan as uve no idea what's going on In there and if alls okay so testing sort of helps ease the mind a bit haha :p

Iam, I know what u mean! My mom was asking me when's baby 2 going to be on the list? Then when I mentioned we'd rele like to try she kept constantly asking "are u pregnant?"
My friend has 2 DC's and will be trying for number 3 next year. Lots of people want lots of children! :p
Good luck Iam hope DC3 shows up soon!! :D

iamdivergent · 08/08/2014 10:08

I was thinking about it last night - it's so going to look like I starter trying after my friends told me Confused if they asked I would say we were ttc but people seem to think that's it after 2 and doesn't occur that people would want 3 Grin so it's quite good as we get the privacy this time. Was hard when ttc dd2 as people were always asking!

Smile I remember reading jools olivers autobiography - she had her little 3mth old baby and found a spare test so she used it; pg! Grin

Cupcake92 · 08/08/2014 08:37

Good luck Iam!! :)

Bad I know but in have like 4 Internet cheapie tests left so I did one just to see what happens and see if I still am pregnant (I know I'm crazy!!)
