October 2013 - Operation Baby Eviction

[MrsHoratioNelson]

sheet

Key:
SC - still cooking (pre EDD)
SFW - still f*ing waiting (post EDD)
OWT - on way to theatre (CS)
IP - induction in progress
SWIL - somewhere in labour
LIT -lost in transition

Yes, a big relief. Scanning lady (can't remember what they're called!) said it might turn back but unlikely at this stage as gravity should hold it there. Have another mw appt next week so they'll check again then. So back to the back of the bus I go!

Ok so we have established on the thread that many of us like homes under the hammer, who likes Escape to the Country? I love the houses on it.

Yay MrsO

Umlauf hope you are in hospital or on your way...

Flyer they are a bunch of bastards, they are always putting our renewal quotes up, despite no claims etc.

Checking in, SC @ 39+1. Thanks for the new thread!

It will be operation baby eviction as of tomorrow night when my DH gets here and I am assured he'll be around for the birth! I'll be upping the intake of spicy, bowel evicting foods right away

Then, as soon as anything happens to make me think labour might be imminent, I will naturally start panicking that I am not ready and will be back doing head stands again.

tucking (I think) I really like the B class, but assume it's a lot more expensive than the c-max as the Ford is relatively common?

umlauf I've got everything crossed for you. Will they start the induction earlier now that you have meuconium?

Any news from GT?

Tucking my 2L Golf only cost me £215 for a year to insure last month.

It's pretty good space wise for a family and is really nice to drive. I just went through money supermarket.com

There's no way I can remember everything I've read, I need a notepad I think lol
SC at 37+3

and sympathy to all those feeling under the weather xx

Good luck to GT and umlauf hope to see lovely pics of your bundles soon :-)

Aviva quoted my brother £12,000 (and no you aren't reading that wrong) to insure his 1.0ltr micra when he passed his test lol admittingly he still had to pay £2,000 else where but that's a 10k saving lol

Hmmm what else can I remember that I read? Blueberry muffins Aren't for my I'm more of a choc chip muffin but I had macdonalds for lunch today courtesy of my sister as I was the chauffeur while we looked at new cars for her, I prefer the b class to the a class whoever it was mentioning them lol.

Sending lots of labour inducing thoughts to those needing them not me cos I need too wait till Monday

For those that remember its my 'suprise' baby shower on Saturday and dh asked this morning what I'm up too today so when I told him he asked what I'm doing for the rest of the week, which he never ever asks so I think I would be suspicious by now even if I didn't no the shower was happening

checking in, already so much said today!!

umlauf hope its all going well for you!!

Flu jabs not being offered here till oct 10th so I'm not worrying about mine.

me and dp made it to ikea and back successfully, got cot and all other nursery furniture. he's now upstairs putting it all together and get in a terrible mood!! im hiding! !

I'm here sc at 35+ 6.
Not much to say apart fr

Rrrrrr!!!!

From good luck to all those on the edge of delivery. Not much happening in my uterus except having stabbing pains, I think baby is very engaged but won't find out for sure until the 1st when I see my midwife, for some reason we have to see gps at 34 and 38 weeks and they are so lazy in comparison, rush through and don't write much down or even listen to baby's hb!

flyer I like the sound of being delivered in the presence of Mary the cleaner, she sounds lovely, but I suppose dp would be the worthier birth partner

yep induction in progress. STILL no sign of a conttaction though! eek im scared of impending pain!!

GT posted on the nov '12 thread that she was at 1cm last check, and something about an epidural? Didnt read far down so sorry GT if ive got that wrong, im just nosy!

Also thanks to those that have advised me on dh's company's last minute change of plan re: paternity pay he has managed to resolve it tidy and they have agreed to pay paternity too him x

Thank you all for the birthday messages. I've cuddled a friend's baby, bought the chocolatiest cake I could find, and been out for coffee and cake with my parents. I'm now beached on the sofa.

Clapham - no movement since my show. I'm still leaking some sort of gungy stuff, but no blood and good foetal movement. Sorry - TMI! I think baby may have engaged a bit more though.

I have a growth scan booked for Monday to check my 43cm bump contains a healthy baby and a reasonable amount of fluid. Fingers crossed!

SC at 37+1!

Good Luck umlauf sorry to hear about meconium but not long now and youll have your baby.

yey for baby being head down mrso great news.

Fingers crossed for the all clear tomorrow pseudo you really have had a bit of a rough imenof it recently.

Sorry cant remember what else Ive read.
Thankyou for the new thread.

midwife appt. all fine this morning. Baby only 2/5 palpable which apparently explains why I'm struggling to wee, no uti. seeing her weekly now as had pregnancy induced hypertension in last pregnancy. all very real now

MIL engrossed in Deal or No Deal so some time for myself to catch up on the thread.

umlauf shame about meconium... it's exactly what I had and also had to be induced because I wasn't making enough progress myself. It went OK for me and you can do it! I remember you were asking about epidural the other day and didn't seem too keen on it. Just take one contraction at a time and think how your body opens up with each contraction. It really helped me mentally to imagine it. Also try to breathe into the pain if it makes any sense? They always told me this when I was doing yoga. Our natural reaction is to tense up when we feel pain which makes it only worse. If we relax into it instead and breathe into the pain and tension we cope better. Sorry - I don't mean to be preachy at all as everyone is so different but I really think this is what helped me massively when I was induced. So sharing this just in case it helps you too xxx

anything you just reminded me about something... when I did my NCT classes over 5 years ago, the NCT lady told us that holding a newborn may help bring on labour as we release a lot of oxytocin when we hold a tiny baby. I totally forgot about it! Now... which of our new babies is closest to me...? Have we already had one in London? I'm on my way!!!

flyer this is an outrageous amount for your car insurance if it's only a golf. Saying this, what I found with car insurance is that most popular makes and models can actually cost much more to insure as they are more likely to be stolen. Perhaps something to bear in mind when buying a new car...

natalie so happy about your DH's paternity leave!

and MrsO glad your little one has decided to turn!

I had more stabbing pains down there earlier today, the same ones I had on Sunday and they told me the baby's head was 2/5 engaged yesterday. I really feel like it's even lower down this afternoon but no appointments now for two weeks... am I going to jump the queue too...??

ooops, meant to say - pseudo hope your appointment goes well and they just overreacted! they often do, just in case x

Good news nat about the paternity pay. One less thing to worry about.
anything your birthday sounds pretty great for this stage in pregnancy. Baby cuddles and chocolate cake
clapham do the pains last long? Might be worth mentioning to mw, just in case it's something else.
I like escape to the country flyer.
I've also found myself enjoying 'Tipping Point' with Ben Shepherd. I think I might be turning into Clapham's mil. I'm not usually a game show fan.

Been entertaining this afternoon, made a massive lasagne that me and my friend have been wolfing down... Yum!

Ana I'm the same with cleaning/tidying before guests come. Have been guilty of shoving stuff at the bottom of the wardrobe

I'm under the care of Lewisham hospital so can show up at the labour ward but don't think I can go to the MLU unless they've seen a referral.

To explain about the midwife making the heart rate up- there was a new GP in the room who was being trained to do antenatal checks and MW told her to do the fundal measuring/HR/position check and that then she would double check it. MW sat down writing, wasn't looking. GP found HR straight away, her and MW commented that baby must be strong. GP showed me the monitor, it said 126/bpm (I remember thinking about old wives tales) and she listened for around 10 seconds. The MW didn't ask to see. When the MW double checked positioning she didn't check the heart rate again. When I checked my notes it said FHRH 130-140bpm. Complete bull. Hence I don't want to see her again. Tempted to mention it when I have my MW appointment at hospital. I don't like causing a fuss (and my movements have been fine so I'm not concerned) but it's slapdash and makes me question how good the care women are receiving from her actually is. I wouldn't want her to do my newborn baby check, and it's not great practice when you're mentoring someone!!

Sorry for long post!

Yay Nat glad they sorted out DHs paternity pay

I need to hold my hands up and admit that I like daytime gameshows too! I've even been in the audience for deal or no deal a few times

I also am guilty of shoving stuff in the bottom of wardrobes or elsewhere out of sight when visitors come

I would say something Feminist, it is slap dash and not what you expect from a mw.

Glad dh pay got sorted Nat.

I'm being dirty tonight and driving to Maccy D's for tea...Come 4 weeks time I will be sobbing into my salad, wishing I'd not eaten so much junk for the last 9 months.

Threeblondies . I have a big confession I have been in the audience of the Jezza Kyle show, DNA results special...I was in the front row and looked awful like I'd got big fat hamster cheeks the shame!

flyer we're having kfc here if that makes you feel better!!?!

slippysnow we have the same due date I think I am also 35+6 today. We're getting closer! Feeling worn out now (from all the pregnancy insomnia etc).
