BESTEST WISHES TO YOU ALL XX

yayy finally found the february bus :D

Sent over here after posting on pregnancy....just having a moan really about how the novelty of being pregnant..(dc3.. unexpected & unplanned but most welcome..dc2 died aged 23 months 3 years ago..so this baby is a blessing) has all warn off!!.. Am uncomfortable & feel like a stuffed turkey!!
I can remember with dc1 now 9 that I felt really fed up at about 37 weeks.. puffy ankles & feet, tired & huge but that was fine coz it was so close to edd.. this time I feel worse at 31 weeks..(mind you am 9 years older I suppose!!) Bump is high, hard & uncomfortable, it gets so tight & even the kicks can be uncomfortable esp the low ones!! My back hurts & don't get me started on the heartburn!! Almost burst into tears when I drop something on the floor coz it hurts so much to bend down!!
Only upside is am booked in for elc at 38 weeks to prevent spontanious labour so really under 7 weeks to go now!! Having moaned & ranted I know how lucky I am so many friends in RL would give their right arm to be pregnant & I do appreciate that... hence moaning to people who understand!!

Merry Christmas all febuary duers!!! xx

Indicababy you are due the same day as me and Queenfee x feb 15th will be busy!!

Belle sorry about your DC2. not long to go though so hopefully can relax in that time x

Merry Christmas all!

at newbies - welcome to our lovely bus! Belle so sorry about your DC2 :( I feel your discomfort too - starting to feel like a bowling ball with sticky out bits. Not had the heartburn but the restless legs are driving me up the effing wall!

Hope everyone's having a lovely Christmas day... x

32+2

Just found this thread after reading Belle's moan in the pregnancy section!
34 weeks today (due 5th feb)
Very happy I found you
Happy boxing day!

Can I join? I am 31 weeks, in QLD Australia, and the size of a house. I just saw some Xmas pics and nearly cried... I knew there was a reason I banned pics of me pregnant!! With DS I gained 25 kilos and well on the way to getting there again this time... so am feeling a bit sorry for self and very aware of all the Xmas food still in the house AND I am knackered AND uncomfortable and DS (22 months) is a nightmare today due to overtiredness, over-excitedness, and too much sugar. Have been trying to get him to nap (is 230pm here - he usuallysleeps from 130 til 3 every day) for an hour and he is being a total brat very challenging.
So basically would love to be cheered up by you lot!!

Welcome to the newbies

Hope you've all had a lovely Christmas and are not suffering too much.

I was supposed to get up at 8am to walk the dog but was up most of the night with acid so have had to send DH out, think he expected it really how many times he was woken by me in the night

My annual leave from work starts today, I've got 3 weeks and then my maternity leave starts, it's getting scarily close now!

Oh lucky you, louby. I'm not going on maternity leave until 13th January so basically I have two more weeks to go after the holidays :-(
I have this image in my mind of my boss swearing as she drives me to the hospital with ruptured membranes...One of my worst nightmares!
I was up most night too, just insomnia and restless legs and panic because baby wasn't kicking a lot. I have had sleepless nights due to acid reflux too until my doctor put me on Omeprazole and the quality of my life has changed dramatically, for the better. It's all gone, I can even have a Burger King Chicken Supreme meal without fear of the consequences!

Hello Beatrice and Frizzy and welcome! Frizzy if it makes you feel any better I've gained 3.5 stone (about 23 kg i think) up to now and my size-up maternity clothes are starting to be tighter than I'd like!

We are a cheery lot and are very good with the moaning so feel free to rant away! Stats thread is here - if you copy and paste the last thread into your new post and add yourself into your new post we don't lose anyone!

Oh me! Havent been here in what? 2 days? And SO many newbies

Just popping in to say Merry Christmas to everyone and hope you all had a lovely day and survived it! Christmas eve was v. stressful thanks to my mother but yesterday was lovely and DD had a great day and got v.spoilt. Had some VERY painful BHs though.. i actually couldnt move when i got them. Was starting to panic but only had 3 then they stopped! Today i am trying to get the house back to normal but have no energy or motivation!

6 weeks left.. its getting very close now!! 34 weeks today. :)

Hi everyone, welcome to the people who have just found the bus! How was everyones Xmas Day? I had a lovely relaxed day...I fear the last one, since the baby will be here next year and there will be lots of visitors and fuss. I woke up this morning and the fact theat my baby will be here in 8 weeks (or therabouts) dawned on me big time. Instead of feeling nervous and worried I was so excited and it felt like waiting for Xmas again (but when you are a kid) I just can't wait to see his little face and play with his little arms and legs and get all the cuddles! .... not to mention the lack of sleep, all the poo and sick...

So many new faces! So exciting!!!!

I have decided to spend today learning how to bake. I do not bake or cook... Ever. DH is the brilliant cook

I have just took my first ever batch of cupcakes (lemon butterfly cakes) and they are so much better than anticipated. I am over the moon! I want to learn to cook and bake all through Jan before the baby comes and I have already created about 50 cue cards with recipes I would like to try

So excited (and covered in flour)

So kayano what time shall we all arrive for yummy cakes ?! Mmmm

30 today.... look like 42 today!!!!

Kayano I wondered what that yummy smell was. I'm planning on doing a stack of cooking while on leave prior to "b" day - was considering getting a slow cooker and maybe even using my bread maker...

monkey you'll have to fight me for the cakes...

Hello all, and hi to the newbies. Hope everyone has had/ is having a good Christmas.

I feel very pregnant at the moment and I would like it to end now please. Been suffering with really annoying pain in my right hand side and I can't get comfy. I goes when I'm stood up, and is less when I lie on my back (not ideal I know). I've been getting it for weeks, but is used to be just in the evening, and I assumed it was from sitting awkwardly in the evening... now it's all day everyday :(

Hi there, can I join (group and the moaning)? I'm 31 weeks and expecting my first. I feel like I am about to explode, have back pain and spend most of my day lying down. Relaxed Christmas but it had to be because I no longer want to move very far from my sofa!

The midwife tells me to eat more - I feel like I will be sick if I eat more than I do! At the moment I feel like my passenger has full control of my body.

Hello everyone, welcome to all the newbies :)

Hope everyone had a good day yesterday and managed to fit in some yummy food around the baby.

Christmas was interesting this year to say the least. Spent Christmas morning in paediatric A&E with DD as she wasn't holding down any fluids due to D&V. Docs were happy with her hydration (was syringing in dioralyte every 5 mins) so said we were ok to go to my dads for food.

So off we went and ate yummy duck my brother had cooked, having had hardly any sleep the night before it was great just to relax and have food provided. Luckily DD picked up and kept water down, but no Christmas dinner :(

Spent all day today cooking with DH for my dad and brother. DH cooked goat curry, rice and peas and jerk prawns, yum :) and I cooked snails which were a bit too chewy [hmmm].

Back home now, DD is eating yay! :)

Ok... so the plan is...

Goat curry with zhen followed by lemon butterfly cakes from kayano... WHO'S IN?!

Me! I will bring schloer

Can we watch mrs browns boys? Watched Alan Carr and Ab Fab last night. Thought I was having baby at one point I was laughing that much.

Hi to the newbies and thanks for coming over :)

Oh this does sound very good. We will have to have this party/ get together another day because I am now about to partake in an amazing bath ran by DH full of honey scented bath products

Best. Christmas. Ever.

Well... Until next year when I will have a little plaything baby to dress as a Christmas pudding

Hi all, hope you had a lovely Chrimbo. Not been on much as feel so tired, have had to have B12 injections and take iron tablets 3xday, but my levels are still low!
Also got SPD and horrid rib pain....but booked in for a section on jan 25th.Baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead now i am same size as a shed .
