Morning all
Just read through that article Mum, thanks for sharing. I really don't want to be induced and because I am aiming for a VBAC am having consultant led care. I had sort of decided that if labour doesn't start normally that I will refuse induction anyway in favour of an ELCS, depending on size and postion of baby. Will definately discuss with the consultant! I know she has already said because of the increased risk of rupture on my scar that if labour doesn't progress quickly they would rather do a C section. Really want a natural birth BUT won't put myself or baby at increased risk for the sake of the 'experiance' if you know what I mean?
Glad you found the bumpbelt useful itsliz. It's not something I would have bought if it hadn't been so cheap but now I know about them I'd have happily paid full price as it makes such a difference when I do the school run and stuff!
I am dreading piles. Think they will be coming my way as am also struggling to 'go' sometimes. Have upped the fruit intake in the hope that it speeds things along a bit lol.
Got a busy week this week. Midwife for 28 week check this afternoon then growth scan on thursday to check on the little man and make sure he's a bit bigger than his sister was! Really do think he is though. Am huuugggeeeee this time and it's all baby/bump. Plus when he is moving around he feels a lot bigger and stronger than DD did at that stage from what I can remember. I can see him moving through my clothes now lol and I don't think I ever could with her. Plus I can't remember her kicking my fanny or up my arse with so much force and strength! Norty boy.
Been decorating all weekend. I usually do it all whilst DP and DD are at school/work but been banned this time lol. But I now remember why I do all the decorating. DP is bloody useless. He has no patience, doesn't want to do things properly and just wants to get it done ASAP. But obviously that doesn't work.
Gone in my favour though pmsl. Left him painting the ceiling with a bag of dust sheets to cover the floor up with. And instructions to shut the dog outside. I only went to B & Q for some more supplies and when I came back he had more or less done the ceiling which is great. But couldn't be bothered to cover the floor up and didn't shut the dog out who knocked the paint lid off which landed wet side down on the floor.
So gave him a bucket of hot water and a scourer and told him to get scrubbing the paint off the laminate. He couldn't be arsed so has said we will replace the flooring instead pmsl. Have wanted it doing for the last 3 years but because it was 'fine' in his eyes it was at the bottom of the lost for doing.
So new flooring next week yay!
Just got another coat of emulsion to do and a bit of glossing left that I was going to do this morning but with having M/W will leave until later or tomorrow now I think. And looking at the glossing DP has done will have to do that again I think lol.
Good job he's a builder by trade and not a painter and decorator lol.
