Can't sleep

Neither can i. Just woke up feeling really sick again, last time two weeks ago this heralded a major day of hideousness, really don't want that again. I've had no sleep issues for 32 weeks and the last two have been dreadful.

Hi everyone, I've been lurking for a while but thought I should stop being anti social and say hello.
I'm due 13th Dec (so am 34+1) with my first. I'm going to be a single mum as unfortunately my ex went all weird and left.
At least that means I can use the name I liked that he previously vetoed .
Anyway, I hope those of you who are awake right now like me get to sleep eventually and I look forward to chatting to you all. xx

Welcome dating. That's your ex's loss and i'm sure you will make a great mum!
Can't sleep, nice early night but major tossing and turning.
Had 1st antenatal yesterday and as it was quiet in the home from home birth centre, they snuck in a quick tour. All lovely and it felt reassuring seeing where I will give birth.
Interesting reading thoughts on baby shower. Quite like the idea of "open house" once LO arrives to regulate visitors
Especially as it will be festive season but will feel pressure to do the big catering thing.

Well I slept in the end from 3 til 5. What more could you want then 2 hours sleep, and a dh whose response is "why dont you get some sleeping tables" "im pregnant!" To get "well that's that then isn't it" so much sympathy I love it.

Welcome dating. The more the merrier on here!

I'm 36 weeks or 9 lunar months today 28 days till due date!

I don't normally do cards, but have quite a few distant elderly relatives (geography and actual relativity iyswim!) who need a birth announcement through courtesy. The kind of people I've only met at funerals, weddings and christenings for the last 30 years, so maybe half a dozen times in my life that i actually remember. There are some even more distant ones who will get a "PidjMum and PidjDad are pleased to announce the safe arrival of their first grandchild"! But those will be made and printed after the birth

Welcome dating!

Hope those that didn't sleep well have a peaceful day.

Have NCT women's only day today followed by a day of nesting. Ah.

Welcome dating

My last day at work today, feel a bit of a fraud as only 32 weeks but never mind I have lots of things to do in the run up to keep me busy!

I was up at three with heartburn and dd was up at 4:30 not impressed. Might have to invest in a gro clock?

Hello dating, I think we may have met on another thread a while back - I remember that you have the same due date as me (although I'll have an early induction). Hope all is well.

Welcome dating

Hope you enjoy your last day today spotty

Hello Dating

Been looking at the birth announcement cards you can order, but can't see them arriving in time to put in Xmas cards, so think I will have to use a little creativity and Photoshop and make them myself/get Df to make them.

Someone in the next village has already covered their house in Xmas light decorations, even put a board up with the light switch on date, I don't thing a tree and a couple of lights will be too offensive the end of November!

I'm loving maternity leave, slow and gentle cleaning with lots of knitting, it's amazing!!!

eggsmichelle thanks for validating my November decorations!

Michelle, ours will just be 1/8 of a piece of printer paper with a few essential details! Nothing flash, or embossed, or expensive :o

Welcome dating hope you like to chat as us lot do!

32 week today and I have put some bump pics up I took this morning.
I was in the 3 am club yet again, i'm getting use to it now and don't have to star work tll 12 so had a bit of a lie in

Has anyone else got really, really hairy on their legs? I don't normally bother much with legshaving in autumn/winter as I live in knee high boots and am not that hairy normally, but I have just glanced down at my leg and there's a veritable forest. The hair just seems so much LONGER than usual. Just realised that my cleaner must have just seen it and must think I've really let myself go to hell.

I'm hairy everywhere at the moment seconds also told dp I needed him to cut my toe nails. He said eugh but agreed to do it I might try one last time before I make him do it!

Just had doughnuts with our tea and we're going to get chips from the chip shop for lunch as its my last day and the boss is away its just us ladies in the office!

I can still cut my own toenails. It's a bit of a mystery to me as I'm sure I used to struggle with it pre pregnancy! I just sat on the side of the bed and leant downwards with my knees apart.

Have a lovely last day at work spotty. I'm jealous of your chips and doughnuts.

I heard if your having a boy you get a bit hairier due to extra testosterone not sure if it's true though.

Welcome dating, definitely your exs loss.

I'm not doing birth announcements, I'm relying on word of mouth so I don't have to tell everyone. I've got a list of who's bought us what so far and am going to take some photos of baby with that item and posting them out as thank you cards after the birth.
Spotty enjoy your last day at work, hope your chips and donuts are lovely.
seconds the hair on my legs isn't that bad, I think the hair growth hormones are all getting sucked up by my belly though, which is just getting ridiculous. I'm so glad I'm blonde.
I'm still fine with toe nails, I just sit cross legged and pull the foot up. I'm trying to do them fairly often though so they don't get crazy long and I then realise I can't do them anymore. People aren't allowed to touch my feet, so if I can't do it they just won't get done. I can't put tights on any more though, it crushes bump, and I get out of breath doing it.

emilyeggs I am having a boy, so maybe there is some truth in it!

I think I was just as hairy with dd

Keep getting a really bad pain below right rib, definitely not baby as he's asleep and lower down. Ouch.

Spotty perhaps ring the midwife. Mine always ask me if I've got any pain under my ribs that isn't the baby kicking.

I think that's because it can be a sign of PE but I had bp etc all done on Wednesday

I'd ring them anyway if I were you. I have to have my bp checked twice a week.
