waiting its good you got checked out, its best to be safe and not sorry. Sounds kinda scary really!

WaitingForMe · 23/10/2012 10:37

What concerns me is that his head was in the right place throughout. Just how big is this child? Confused

(DH insists it's because I have a short body and am now growing an 11 pounder)

MissMummy1 · 23/10/2012 10:37

I've had a few scary breathing moments too waiting - I found standing/sitting up helped as it was always when Id been lying down they happened. I'm also finding myself breathless just walking up the stairs, and also after eating!

WaitingForMe · 23/10/2012 10:37

NOT not now!

Iheartpasties · 23/10/2012 10:39

Maybe your baby has long legs waiting?!

georgee · 23/10/2012 10:41

MM I'm sure he's just getting this out of his system, particularly if others have been doing the usual 'Ooh your life will change beyond recognition, you'll never ever be able to go out, have fun, read the Sunday papers'. Hmm My BIL did this to us and took great pleasure in it. It was nowhere as bad as he made out.

Once he sees that baby it will all fall into place and he'll do anything for it. So don't worry. x

TheDetective · 23/10/2012 10:42

Often the only reason I know I am having a BH is when I go breathless/lightheaded! I then put a hand on my tum, and its rock hard! The only time in my life I can claim to have rock hard abs haha!!

Mine likes a good stretch upwards sometimes! My bump goes high, then low... little monkey!

WaitingForMe · 23/10/2012 10:45

Yes lets go with long legs Iheartpasties Grin

TheDetective · 23/10/2012 10:46

I know mine has long limbs! Seen them on scan! And his father has exceptionally long limbs!

DP was referred to paeds when a kid, as his bones were growing faster than his skin!

FatimaLovesBread · 23/10/2012 10:54

Well I had a crap nights sleep. Didn't drop off properly til 2am then when DH went to work at 6:30 I took over the whole bed but my hips/pelvis were killing me so I couldn't even get comfy how I wanted.

Exciting news about babywellies Can't wait to hear more. And good luck Blonder.

I'll definitely still be here in November, i'm not full term (37 weeks) until next Friday. I also have my WC jab today so it needs to stay in two weeks at least.

I was going to clear out some of the kitchen cupboard but my hips are still achey, i'll see how they feel after the walk to the doctors.

TheDetective · 23/10/2012 11:00

I can't leave long enough between eating to allow me to take my antibiotics Grin

TheDetective · 23/10/2012 11:04

Ok, I have £45 in my bank today. It is mine to spend as I want, I have the afternoon to treat myself.

What do I do! Help! I don't want beauty treatments/hair done. Can't get a massage today, maybe could get one in the next few days, but I want to treat myself today!

I'm scratching my head wondering what to do! Any ideas?!

SwissArmyWife · 23/10/2012 11:52

detective I'd probably spend it all in boots on soap and glory stuff an addiction of mine or new make up Grin

Aw yay for YW, this should have been an October thread! How many babies have arrived now?!

Still no sign of my little sproglet coming, although the pressure from his head is extremely uncomfortable, and I can completely sympathise with tits and izzy as my spd is awful too, I can't even walk to the toilet without feeling like my pelvis is going to crumble away :(

Midwife appointment today and although it's only a fifteen minute walk I'm going to get a taxi. Because I can.

MM you are not the only one with DP troubles.
Last night mine went from being lovely to very angry in the space of about ten minutes for no reason, and decided to blame me for his foul mood. Suffice to say he won't be doing it again because I had a huge go at him and told him there was no way I was going to take any more shit, especially while so heavily pregnant so he could either apologise and sort himself out of F off. I went to bed and he crawled in later nearly in tears and very apologetic.
There's no way I'm standing for any of that crap again!
Turns out he did an online test for anger issues which I've been telling him for ages that he has, and needs to sort it out and he has decided he needs to talk to someone. I guess being called a selfish bastard and not being allowed to get stroppy for fear of his own life did something. Grin

FatimaLovesBread · 23/10/2012 12:06

Just been for my Whooping Cough and she gave me the flu jab as well. Apparently they have a few spares in to use for people who need them before the full batch come in in November. So at least I don't have to wait until 38 weeks for my flu jab. She did tell me not to tell everyone they'd got some spares though ShockGrin

Does that mean both my arms will ache now then? Maybe I should put off ironing so I don't aggrevate it.

Swiss DH and I share your love for Soap and Glory. I love the big gift set that they have at boots, they always reduce it from £60 to £25 the week before Christmas. Think the contents are worth over £60

ShellyBobbs · 23/10/2012 12:13

Achey, achey, achey today. Am now ready to have this little one.

Congratulations YW and how lovely that your sister has kept us updated, well done you Grin

applepieinthesky · 23/10/2012 12:15

Congrats to YW I can't wait to hear all the details. Is there a list somewhere of the babies that have been born and how many still to go?

I'll definitely still be here in November. 37 weeks Friday and not even a hint of anything happening Sad Hurry up baby boy!

applepieinthesky · 23/10/2012 12:18

swiss My SPD is getting worse too. Last night was so painful. I tried to turn in the night and was in agony. My hips wouldn't move, like they were locked and the more I tried the more it hurt.

MissMummy1 · 23/10/2012 12:29

Do anybody else's hips audibly 'crunch' when they roll over in the middle of night?

Finally got through to him on the phone. He answered with 'I'm in trouble, aren't I?' Yes dearest you bloody are! Apparently he's 7 miles off mull. Reckons if I needed him he could be there within 3 hours. a) I might not have 3 hours if anything did happen, and b) I'm guessing that's 3 hours from when I managed to get hold of him? In which case it would be more than 24 hours if the last day has been anything to go by! I told him he's now the last person I'd phone if I needed anything and he can walk home from Oban or wherever it is he's coming ashore for all I care. I may or may not be at home... He knows he's messed up big time now!

Passmethecrisps · 23/10/2012 12:32

Hallo. detective I would maybe go to Lush and get some nice things.

Operation rings off has been postponed indefinitely. There is no way either of them are coming off. At the moment they are not impacting on blood supply so I am just going to keep my toes crossed that my fingers don't swell anymore.

MissMummy1 · 23/10/2012 12:32

Swiss men sometimes need us to throw a strop to see they're being complete arseholes. Mine is too far away for the teary grovelling atm but I don't doubt it will happen.

WaitingForMe · 23/10/2012 12:43

On the basis of the ring operations, mine came off last night. It feels really weird Sad

My utterly amazing DH is partly down to a very good anger management counsellor Swiss and him committing to it. We had a horrendous time in my first trimester as I lost the ability to let a fair amount ride and was far more stroppy myself. Him wanting to sort it out is the first major hurdle covered.

SwissArmyWife · 23/10/2012 13:08

After posting, he actually walked through the door after going to the doctors, he has an appointment to see a psychologist Shock seems me actually standing up for myself scared him into serious action.

MM definitely do not let your angry guard down! I have always been a bit of a doormat but at the moment I am so fueled by hormones that I'm not taking any crap from anyone! Plus they just can't do it to us, especially at this stage in pregnancy. Being three hours away is just not a sensible idea, you need him nearby, can he not see that?!

FatimaI love the soap and glory sales before Xmas!

Oh and yes, I do get the audible crunching of the pelvis when rolling over in bed. It is agony :(
I really hope the midwife tells me that baby's head is engaged today. If not I will cry!

Sophiathesnowfairy · 23/10/2012 13:27

I have dropped soup on my bump. Do I have to change my top or can I slob around with a soup stain.

MM is good you will get some support from his mum. I would be cross too and I think it is naughty you don't know where he actually is. I would be worried sick.

I actually tried to encourage DH to go out for a night on the beer on Thursday as he was offered a jolly night away with work and he would rather stay at home!Shock

fatima I definately think that you shouldn't do ironing after having both jabs.

detective I would probably go for perfume now I have a perfume craving all because of dixie! Or i would go out to lunch all by myself and then go to the cinema.

Have to say reflexology was fab. Am v relaxed.

vq good luck good luck good luck. I hope you are having a nice day today.

Xx

DesperateHousewife21 · 23/10/2012 13:28

I feel like baby has turned back to back Confused I can feel very strong jabby movements coming out my belly at all angles!

Sophiathesnowfairy · 23/10/2012 13:28

swiss hope you get the fit answers at the midwife.
