Hey up ladies, just had a massive gush of fluid - at 36 weeks on the nose - so have been advised to go to the maternity so they can figure out if I'm ok to labour on island. Bit of back ache, tesco mattress protector not arrived so damp bed and shocked DH! Just having a cuppa...

Sophiathesnowfairy · 22/10/2012 07:03

Morning all. Once again i is having got up, got ready for the day, had some porridge and the house is still silent.

Is exhaust DS/mummy day today I will be a wreck at the end of it.

yw I am interested but is very technical. I love the weather and different seasons I would just rather the winter happened without any important appointments in it! Luckily no work this year!!! However need to get to NI at chrimbo.

Bump has just got so massive in what seems like the last 24 hours.

Xx

wellieboots · 22/10/2012 07:10

Ooooo YW sounds exciting! Hope you get your birth on the island as planned - am I right in thinking you're in the Orkneys or have I made that bit up?

And all the best rowing for your CS!

Still nothing happening here...

blonderthanred · 22/10/2012 07:20

Oh wow YW, that sounds pretty dramatic. Hope everything's ok x

Iheartpasties · 22/10/2012 07:21

rowing good luck today! Wow another baby in our group, I really cannot keep up ? please can some people hold off until NOVEMBER!!!!!?? Grin

YW keep us updated! Your poor matttress!! My dd has just pee-d on mine, thankfully had the mattress protector on it, but wonder if ny waters will go while I have it off and in the wash!! haha. Anyway all the best to you.

Iheartpasties · 22/10/2012 07:26

My midwife appointment was nice, very short and sweet, just what I had hoped for. Saw a lovely midwife who did my antenatal classes 18 months ago. Saw my 'due in Nov' friend today and she was telling me where you can park behind the hospital and it's free, and very very easy. I never knew about this - I have been parking quite far away for every appointment so far and walking up a massive hill, usually in the blazing oz sun!! eurgh!

My other friend is jetting off to Fiji on weds to get married! imagine how beautiful it will be!! I'm sad to miss out on it, but never mind!!

georgee · 22/10/2012 07:27

Ooh YW best of luck!! Keep us posted! And good luck rowing, looks like we're all in for a very exciting week!

Don't worry pasties, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be here for all of November, and a bit into December no doubt ...

horseylady · 22/10/2012 07:29

Rowing and yw good luck today!!!!

My matress protector has been on a week!!

Still no sign of anything happening regardless of what I do or don't do!!! Think now I'm starting to relax it might help. Or it might not!! Obv very comfy in there!!

DesperateHousewife21 · 22/10/2012 07:55

Ooh yw your due a day before me and your waters have gone, I'm v jel!

Lilliana · 22/10/2012 08:03

Don't get me started on stupid car purchases, my DH decided we had to have a truck and spent a fortune on it - I have to say he is much improved now so I'm glad he has got it out of his system before we started thinking about having a baby.

Congratulations toNervpus and catbag your babies are so cute. I can't believe how many babies we have had already! I feel sure I will be overdue too - at this rate there will be no nov babies; they'll all be oct or dec ones Grin

Pass I'm impressed with your DH carrying your handbag; mine is the opposite and gives all his crap to me to carry in it - he hates having to hold my bag even for a short time and gives it back asap

Good luck Rowing and hope all is ok YW; it sounds positive

Been checking my rings as don't want to take them off but don't want them stuck either.I have now managed to burn my finger just above the ring so no chance of getting them off until that heals at least :(

If it does snow we will be stuck for ages. Think DH is secretly hoping we will be airlifted to hospital!

And breath. Finally caught up with the thread!

Has anyone else had a visit from a HV before the baby was born? Had a letter saying they are coming to see me and now having a panic I'm on some list somewhere as a 'concern'. What do you think they will want?

Last Monday I have to getup for work for a while! Grin

ValiumQueen · 22/10/2012 08:07

All the best rowing

YW you probably just pissed the bed? I do hope you get the birth where you want and how you want. Very excited for you, and so glad baby stayed put this long.

peaky loving the dream! They sell gruffalo nappies complete with tail.

pass poor fingers!

izzy I had forgotten about your wallowing. Glad you are ok.

Off to hospital today for pre-op check. Feel like I have a chest infection brewing, and cannot poo today so feeling sorry for myself.

Still not heard from tits. Hope you are ok x

kirrinIsland · 22/10/2012 08:08

Congratulations nervous

Good luck rowing

YW sounds exciting, although i hope this isn't going to mean a plane ride for you?!

I am feeling sick again this morning, I thought ms was a thing of the past :(

horsey my list of things to do isn't half as long as yours and I bet I don't get it all done!

MissMummy1 · 22/10/2012 08:11

Lovely name nervous - glad all is going well!

YW how exciting/bloody scary. Do please keep us updated! Everything crossed all is okay and you don't end up in Aberdeen! Oh and that Ads isn't panicking too much!! (in my birth plan for t i have highlighted and underlined DO NOT PANIC!!!) Seriously though, all the very best lovely xxxx

horseylady · 22/10/2012 08:12
