Due in August - part 6

[sarahlou1uk]

thought I'd start one off girls (and Salamander!)

[Arabica]

Oh and bumble, nice balls!

[Salamander]

I can speak for Eeny, Olivo - she certainly wouldn't acuse you of being virtuous!
You do what you have to do!

[olivo]

i know! but I feel dreadful that i'm complaining about still being at work when its instigated by money!!

still, gives us something to talk about in my child development lessons

[Salamander]

Don't worry Olivo - if Eeny were able to work, she would.
She has not been able to do full time work from VERY early on in the pregnancy, and as her employers will not allow her to do reduced hours, she is forced to stay on Statutory Sick Pay.

Afternoon

Not sure if I said hello to bumble10 beanandboo , but hello (may be again, im so going senile).

All this talk of balls , what with big brothers big mouth whatshisface and ball bags.

Sorry to hear of your worrys with piles or not piles eeny , its all such an anxious time. Really great straight forward bp also , my midwife/ pre birth carer is hopefully going to help with mine next week.

I dont think Ive been on for a few days , have been having some really difficult emotional episodes , my therapy seems to aggravate it all for about 24hrs - 48hrs after and it makes me cry all day. Im getting very very anxious about hospital , labour and after effects. I was also told in a dream over the weekend that a friends fil would die and he died Tuesday morning , so that made me all choked up.

Physio women just discharged me today as there isnt much she can do now being so late in pregnancy, she also said to much manipulation and treatment will affect my central nervous system , so have to wait till 3mths after giving birth and then get another referall. She said to minimise movements that aggravate it all , and get some rest too by laying down when I can LOL , with dd no chance. I have stpopped driving as it just gets me in a state now and bump hits wheel so I can reach pedals , its just a real faff and a drain. Im reliant on family now , which means Im stuck in if no one around. I live on a hill and with y back problem I cant face walking around.

sorry for long one , seem to not be here for days and then I blather on and on.How or whats everyone doing when they feel really touchy and down??? Im either seriously a banshee women or crying and feeling very woe is me.

[eenywifemum]

looks like I've missed some good entertainment!

Olivo you should feel proud of yourself! God knows how much I would have loved having more money during this pregnancy. I just DO NOT have the stamina for it.

Bumble I couldnt face a move right now - but if you think you can & you have good support go for it!! Loony!

[eenywifemum]

Melsy sorry you are struggling! You can ask Sal, I have been VERY emotional, up and down the last month or so. When it's good, it's very good, and when it's bad... it's downright scary! I try to have nice things to do and look forward to but sometimes I just write the day off and say 'You know what I am just going to be down today' because there isnt much you can do about it all the time.

[Salamander]

She has, Melsy.

but it's ok - you can't feel guilty for it.

Everyone else should just deal with it.
Creating life ain't easy!

[Arabica]

Melsy, sorry to hear things are difficult at the moment. Therapy can sometimes churn things up, and then we have all our hormones making things confused anyway. I'm glad I still have some work to get on with tbh--I'd just be lumbering around wondering what to do with myself otherwise, and getting in a right state!

[melsy]

so its ok to throw things, swear and scream like a loon , dh should just suck it up hey???!!!!. I need him to come on here and be given a talking too.

[Salamander]

Hey Melsy! Unless your DH can squeeze a bowling ball out of his arse, he should smile sweetly and say THANK YOU MELSY!

[BigHotMama]

Afternoon everyone, cant keep up with you lot phew! Hope your all swell!

Lol at your comment Arabica - 'make it a double!'

Just finished my birthplan after seeing Eeny's, hope you dont mind tho eeny but I copied and pasted yours and added bits of my own in etc.

Music will be a big thing for me during labour for me as I sing in a rock band and the baby has listened to all types of music whilst me being pg. Baba's fave is 'Bat out of Hell' by Meatloaf! lol. But I love a wide variety of stuff so will do my own cd over next few weeks. (If dh has his way it will be Oasis or The Who)

Hoppy, I've noticed that my freckles have become darker and more prominent dueirng the last few weeks but am liking it so dont think its full pg mask like yours! Hope they dont fall of after the birth?

PMSL at Cheeseburger crotch syndrome!

10 working days left at work - Cum'on! Must admit its getting hard to get out of bed in the mornings and I've got a fan behind me and an air con machine set up - everyones making a right ole fuss! Bless em!

Got lots of girls names but only 1 boys name - why are boys names so hard to find?

Melsy sorry to hear your having a rough time lately, hope things get better for you chick x

[melsy]

pmsl , you sure you weren't a women in a past life Sal, you just seem to get us lot !!!

and yes Im sure my grammer is atrocious !!

[Salamander]

LOL Melsy!

Maybe I was!
Who knows!!??

All I know is that you ladies sure put up with a lot of sh&t and... well it's tough!

[preparingfor2]

Eeny, the twins aren't identical (they have their own sacs and placentas), but we decided not to find out the sexes, so could be two the same or one of each. Makes the name problem even greater, but so far we have one boy and one girl name, so hopefully that will be just what we need.

I must admit being a tad of your posts about Alexander - it's like you (and all of us too!) know him as a proper little boy already. It's lovely

[eenywifemum]

BHM - I dont mind at all that you amended the BP - it would look funny if you mentioned someone named Salamander! haha no seriously I'm glad you liked it, I was pleased with it myself although I found I had less to say than I though I would so it stayed pretty simple. And arent you cool, singing for a rock band!!! You know we all want to come see you now!

preparingfor2 - Salamander and I were just sitting here in awe of your twins!! It's such an interesting thing! Good luck thinking of extra names if you need them! I can't wait to find out what you have!! I know what you mean about 'knowing' Alexander... I have a friend knew her baby's sex months before I did and when she talked about 'Freddy' I was because it seemed she knew her baby better than I did mine somehow... But for a lot of people I know they like the anticipation of not knowing! I always wanted to find out the sex though I am so impatient.

[Aussiemama]

Hello!
I know your guys have had a few new crashers recently but I hope there's room for one more! I'm due August 18th, first baby, having a boy. Bumble: We just moved house - it's not too bad. As pregnant lady you get to just point at things and say "Move that. No, not there, there." etc etc

[eenywifemum]

welcome Aussiemama! wow I cant get over how many people are on our board!! we should win an award! are you in australia? is that a dumb question?

[Aussiemama]

Nope, not in Aus (though I doubt that's a stupid question at all). Emigrated to London accidently about 6 and a half years ago. Family still in Oz though. Got my new British driving licence through today though so feeling very British just now....

[sarahlou1uk]

Hi everyone. First of all, thanks for all the support about my breech dd. I know she has plenty of time to turn (7 weeks), my ds didn't turn until the end. Spoke to my mum to day and apparantly I didn't turn until 39 weeks! Must run in the family! Still bit p*ssed with mw - she can't seem to make her mind up what to recommend.

Eeny - just one thing to consider. If you're planning a water birth in hospital the room where the pool will be will probably not have any electricity (mine didn't with ds - health & safety!). Take a cd player with plenty of batteries! Also, if episiotomy needed - you want to be given local anaethetic in that area! You'll have enough pain without that adding to it!

Welcome to all the new August-to-be mummies! We must now be one if not the largest ante-natal groups on this site!

[beanandboo]

Hi Aussiemama, welcome and congrats on your impending arrival! Another boy then, have you thought about names?

[beanandboo]

Nice to hear from you again sarahlou, when did you say you would be seeing your md again?

[beanandboo]

sorry that should have been mw not md!

[Aussiemama]

beanandboo: Was going to go with something fairly basic as I have had a lifetime of spelling both of my names. His surname is a fairly complicated one so I thought Jack (but then found out it was the most popular name in Britain and thought maybe not...he'll end up being "Jack R" all his school life), Sam, Tom or Joe. Something simple. All ideas gratefully accepted.
