Due in Dec 05 - The wind up to the countdown!!!!!!

[sweetheart]

OK, well we've needed a new thread for ages so I've taken it upon myself to start it.

Good luck ladies - we are nearly down to the last month

35 + 2 or should I say "T minus 4wks 5 days"!

you cant see them as bad as they were but they are nothing like that picture..loil
here

Oh that makes me feel so much better Nemo
See that is what I had in mind before I saw that other terrible photo.

God george just after lunch! NOO, you won't look like THAT!!!!!!

PMSL
Sorry Ninah - hope your lunch is OK!!

Oh yes, and now feel oddly smooth and pristine after seeing those poor women
er nemo, you need magnifying glass for yours!

Thanks for the lovely suggestions, I'm going for a haircut, followed by manicure and after DDs bedtime a naff film / lots of magazines and box of Thorntons, can't wait!

I have stretchmarks, they appeared later with DD, and were beginning to fade but are now back to red (although nowhere near as awful as that picture!!!) and worse than before. Funnily enough, DH commented much worse on one side (TBH I can't see them at the moment as they're hidden under my bump so they don't really bother me!)

DQ - your nursery sounds lovely, how much would you charge to do mine

Scully - don't let him get away with it. Why are men so thoughtless?

Jays - I get a similar problem to your hands but with my feet. When I first get up in the morning I find them very tender and hard to stand on and my balance is off, I think that's because of water retention too. It happened last time but went soon after the birth.

somewhere between 33 & 34 weeks...

oh ouch ladies. my hips/pelvis is really hurting today and getting worse as the day goes on. I cant stand up!! and I walk like I'm 207........
babygibbon, oh if I could just decorate nurseries for a living, what a nice job! seriously tho, if anyone needs anything in a 'theme' but abit different tracking down, to make nursery alittle more original i could be your lady
flutter, mmmmm, you sound painful! poor you. but how nice all those people care caring about you, you and your bump are much thought of bless.

george, the lighting on that picture is quite scary I agree, but also agree with nemos description of tiger claw marks. I had one like that description def.! maybe not quite as drastic as that scary picture tho...........
tc, am also doing same thing, not quite throwing up but think there is nowhere for food to go anymore so it just sits right at the top ready fro me to do anything stupid like lean forward before it reappears. mmmmmmm, nice!
am going to take lots of nursery pics to stick in babys album. so jay please tell me again how/where/when to put photos up...........

nemo -a date! wow! thats quite surreal isnt it/ what will you be doing again (pg brain equals mush...) a c-section or drip/pessary induction? and not another poss breech???????? gosh our babies are lazy on this thread! turn round you little gremilins!!
what about yours george? turned do you think?

I hurt so much I think I need some paracetamol now. ow. how many days til christmas now? sigh.

OH ffs, I cant type either. never mind, excuse the spelling/double letter errors, if you have no idea what it was meant to say just make it up, prob sound better anyway...........

47 dq

Mind you by then I should have a 3 week old baby

26 days and counting for me

Nemo - so glad you got your induction booked.
Flutter - sorry your in pain hun - but the excitement must help numb it a bit!!!!

fukety fuk! less than fifty>?????????? oh thats thrown me. you cn tell me it in hours if you like......might sound further away.
my midwife last time said she expects me to have this baby prob week before christmas. but i really am busy that week.........
mind you shes the lady who kept saying 'oh your effacing and poss dilated alittle, its anyday now!' when pg with dd2. she said it for TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!! dh and I were in a permenant state of 'omg'at first. then we just stopped believing her.LOL

ok well thats 1128 hours (or there abouts) but that still doesn't sound like very long to me

you counted the hours? do you do any work woman??!

and its AGES away, absolutely ages. OKAY!!!!!!!

must email dh and tell him in hours............should get one of those countdown things shouldnt i? like a millenium clock!

god never ask an accountant a q like that dq!
that's me told in hours too!
Minutes, sh?! second, perhaps lol?!

oh yes, we're in this christmas day thing together arent we? like a race!

we should get paid by the hour for this pg lark........

by the minute I'd say dq!

shall I send dh my bill?

shall I SEND P MY BILL lol!
he SAYS I don't contribute ....
yes Xmas Day will be interesting I need to try and make sure I can be online over Xmas!

DQ - about those hips, mine get like this. Best thing to do, when you stand, point toes in. When lying down keep legs up at same lavel as rest of body, so put a spare pillow at end of bed and sleep as much as poss with feet on that, same when you lie on sofa, Also get on hands and knees, tuck tail bone in so don't strain back and just rotae those hips round and round.

Also have nive warm bath and eat chocolate

TC x

ok well it's 67,680 mins and 4,060,800 seconds

And NO I def don't do any work!!!!!!!

pmsl - dh has just caught me working out the mins and seconds - he's walked out the room shaking his head saying how sad I am!!!!!

well sad or dedicated eh?
so in approx a thousand hours time I will have a baby? eek!
tc thanks will try those things. esp the choc one.......

nah - I'd go with sad!!! hee hee.

It's the boredom, at least this time next week I'll have my hands full with house work and school runs

SH, I don't have time to be bored since leaving work. There is just so much to do all the time. Did manage to drop off for a hour or so earlier though.

Ooh Babygibbon you are going to have a lovely day on Thursday.

DQ, I think my little one is still turning about. It seemed to be head down for a couple of days but now I'm back to having big solid lumps under my ribs on both sides - maybe it's a breeze block rather than a baby? Is your appointment tomorrow?

Well it's my 2nd NCT meeting tonight so time to learn more about scary baby things!!
No being in denial once these are finished with!

DQ heres thelink for the yahoo group and all the mumsnet pix.

You just have to join the group then you can add pics! Let me know if you have probs.

I forgot to go to antenatel this morning.. how the hell did i manage that......
