June 2013 - thread 6 - will this thread see any early arrivals?

[AlohaMama]

Welcome back all June-ers, just realised we were about to run out of space on the old thread.

How exciting, we were wondering where you'd got to! Congratulations, and hope you get to take them home soon. They must look so tiny and cute :-)

Congratulations collector! That is amazing news and such lovely names! Well done you and thanks for letting us know- it must be such a busy time for you right now! Big hugs!

Congratulations xxx

Congratulations collector! Beautiful names.
With regards to the whopping cough jab, I read that its the tetanus part that causes your arm to hurt, more so if you have had it recently. Not sure if that was on here?

Wow, congratulations Collector hope the girls have an easy ride through SCBU. Make sure you get some flexitol hand balm for all the hand washing you'll be doing

Congratulations Collector That is just brilliant news, I have indeed been wondering where you had got to and if the babies had arrived and such beautiful names!

Look after yourself with the girls in SCBU, its easy to forget to look after yourself and when you all go home you'll be v busy

Congratulations! Brilliant news, glad the three of you are doing well x

Congratulations collector! Amazing news! Did your DH make it?

Not so interesting is that I'm just back from docs having been diagnosed with varicose veins in my vulva and a nice dose of thrush following my course of penicillin! Soooo glamourous!

Congratulations Collector. I want a baby!!

I clearly spoke too soon last night. In bed with a tummy bug this morning feeling a bit sorry for myself. Baby clearly oblivious to this and keeps mexican waving across my churning stomach. Think i'll be talking to god on the big white telephone at some point today.

Congratulations!!!! Wonderful happy news xx

Just checked the stats thread and Collector's due date was 15th June!

Gives me hope if Baby B makes an early exit!

Goodness, that's the day after me, so 33 weeks this Saturday. I live in fear of the Small Girl coming early. Really don't want my ELCS turning into an EMCS.

NCT better last night. No preaching. Did make me think though that there should be workshops for those having sections. Not locally, but a London one would surely be well attended. Have googled and there doesn't seem to be anything available.

Sarah I found a great site and book, will try and find it about CS and the ways that you can help recovery and also (for those having ELCS) accept the situation and those having EMCS come to terms with the often different outcomes to the birth you had hoped for IYSWIM.

I went out for lunch yesterday with 3 friends (all mums) and when it was mentioned by one of the other mums that I was having a CS they were all very about it and although they are lovely and I like them, wish I could have had baby at home or in water it did make me feel quite lonely about the fact my baby was coming out through the sunroof. Some kind of NCT or NHS information about CS and ways to make it a positive experience would be good.

CSection site

Sorry - this one is much better C Sections

The first one is an authors page, the second is more about the whole CS approach and stories of those who have had sections - its been really greta to read.

ah congratulations collector!

on a cleaning mission today! not sure why but everything is getting a clean! if the dog would stand still and the cats hadn't run off they probably would too!

just booked my 36 wk mw apt for 8 May... that's not far away! a little scary.

Nesting, pink, nesting!! :-)

Try not to feel bad about the CS Red, it's by far the safest way for you and baby.

lol mrsbri - I fear I should be putting the energy into getting things ready for bubs rather than the house but figure it'll be easier to keep on top of once rolling!

upstairs ready to attack once I've had lunch!

Wow pink, definite nesting going on! Sadly it's not hit me yet and given that delivery will be 3 weeks today () I'm not holding out much hope of it turning up!

Had another growth scan this morning, all still looking fairly good, weight estimated at 6.5lbs/3kgs at the moment which isn't too horrendous. And LO is following his own unique centile line on (well, off the top of) the charts so that's reassuring too.

Bless miniRue and his unique sizing :-)

Nesting hasn't struck me yet either, but I'm only 32 weeks today. I think I'm suppressing it until I finish work next Friday, then it'll be full steam ahead. Watch out DH is all I can say!

Oh, sorry you're feeling crap, Sunny, your illness got swamped by Collector's news.

have to be honest ladies not sure where the energy has appeared from. if I find an answer I'll let you all know.
I do however have a mouse under my sofa that the cats must have brought in last night. it ran under there when I tried to get it out the front door. this is making me a bit twitchy, wish it was still confined to the hallway not having the freedom of my front room! both cats have typically buggered off as well. dp says he'll sort when Home - didn't warrant coming to rescue me right away! lol

Congratulations collector! How exciting! They aren't bad sizes either .

I had my first antenatal class today, which was good. The MW that took it was very balanced in her views about drugs and interventions, which was helpful.

Yikes, someone else I know in RL just had their baby boy 5 weeks early! Better get bag packed!!!!

Think I need to finalise my bag, Sunbeam! Though I'm not planning on getting my nursing bras til 36 weeks. Baby can just hang on in there :-)
