Brilliant pic flyer. I guess you could call it creative :)

Hope you're ok slippy

I wouldn't say no to toast notso! I love the stuff

Mmmmm, white toast and cold real butter. Not something I allow myself often sadly.

Huge congratulations to, mrszzz, caz, heffa, pinapple, bronze and apple!! Really hope I've not missed anyone.

So sorry to hear about your Bp, badger. I'd hoped yours would go back to normal like mine did last time.

ready and nat so glad all ok today, but do keep a close eye on things and def go back

Those on the back of the bus - sorry you are feeling abandoned. I'm still here reading but like others am reading in bits and bobs and forget so feel guilty I can't remember who to address. Really missing being part of things though.

flyer wow, how did you manage to fit all of that in? Sounds yummy though! Now you can buy better snacks tomorrow. Unless baby comes tonight when you are snack less - soda law.

clapham so glad to hear about last night and the nice mums. Any with small babies or bumps? Still have my fingers crossed for DS's dad. Hope Monday goes well for him.

p~buttons fingers crossed little lady pops out before your mum leaves.

everyone else

My bp is still high and Medicated. Probably anaemic too the home nurse thinks. My iron levels went from more than normal to 3.2 two days post baby though.

Just back from triage...after my awful midwife appt this afternoon, had no movements throughout the day despite trying the cold drinks, lying down, bouncing on the ball etc.

Decided to call to check and they asked me in - an hour later on the trace and all okay so feeling reassured if a little silly and time-wastery!

Absolutely knackered...what a day...!

Sorry to hear you had a rubbish day untitled, but great that trace was normal. I have learnt today that its best to go in if at all concerned so as others said to me earlier dont worry about time wasting, you def weren't. Back bouncing on ball. Knackered but can't get comfy and head is wired!

Morning Ready I'm awake as well. Getting pain radiating up through pelvis quite regularly and painfully but worried it might just be wind

Get bouncing mrsH!! Sounds promising. Fingers crossed its the real thing...sending contraction action vibes your way. X

Hope things progress mrshn

Right, been to the loo and they're still coming - when I say regularly, I mean somewhere between 3 and 5 minutes apart. There doesn't seem to have been any real build up to this point. I am on my ball and they are bearable. Not quite sure whether I should call the MLU or what. Don't want to get there and be told its just wind, but don't want to leave it too later either .

I would call them mrshn and see what they say - doesn't hurt to be in touch and they can advise you over the phone. Fx for you!

Congrats on all the other new arrivals. Sorry those at the back of the bus are getting frustrated, I would try and enjoy your bumps for the last bit - I already miss mine (I still have one but without a baby in!!)

I had forgotten about the constant feeding on day/night 2 before the milk comes in - all Thomas wants to do is suckle but I don't even think there's much coming out - my nipples will be in tatters by morning all part of the fun I guess.

I can't scroll through to see everyone else's news. Hope Eliana is doing ok Mon.

Looking forward to more new arrivals soon

Exciting mrsh! How are you doing now? I'd def give them a call and see what they say. Here they say contractions have to be strong enough that you can't talk to them when you have one. But that's a load of crap as some women dilate with barely knowing it.

untitled you did not time waste at all! I def lesrned this pregnancy that even if you have a feeling things arnt right you should go in. So glad baby is fine

Thanks both - I called and she has advised to stay at home for now since frequency is good but some way to go on intensity.

So. 41+2 and SWIL :)

Try and get some sleep as difficult as that is at this stage in pregnancy and as excited as you probably are, you will need all your energy. Even just laying resting is better than nothing. Perhaps have something high carb to eat before bed if you are peckish and if wont give you heartburn Good luck!! I know advice is annoying but you don't want to be awake for 48 hours xx

Just woke to wee

Woohoo finally, go MrsH!! Brill news x

Thanks Tarlia, dont want it to all tail off but will try lying down again.

Big curry for dinner so I'm fine on the food front :)

Get me Flyer :)

woohoo mrsH

just logged in as Im getting pains and just started timing! Mine only every 6 minutes at the moment but reminding me how painful it can be. Told you my baby was just politely waiting her turn

Fingers crossed for us both today

Felt like I Have not slept so far. Have a very sore painful nipple. Am using a nipple shield but its making no difference. Had to stop feeding on that side earlier got a bigger shield. But it's made no difference. I can't not feed on that side at all.
Don't know what to do.

Sorry posted early in the excitement, meant to also say glad you both went to be checked untitled and ready sounds like youve both had a long day.

nat sorry to hear you were in for monitoring again but glad you have an induction date with all the monitoring of baby going on x

pseudo hope your back home and BP is back down xx

Can u express from that side GT? just to give nipple a break either with a pump or hand expressing. Will keep up supply but give that side a break. x

Holding virtual hands Pink :) Had got back into bed but getting more intense and I might get in the bath in a mo.

Sorry, no advice GT, not sure what's best :(

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/breast_and_bottle_feeding/1879377-Sore-cracked-painful-nipple have posted here also.
Pumping is ok actually. But middle of the night , no energy to pump ATM.

The side that is sore is already the worse side for supply due to inverted nipple.
But tomorrow morning will pump that side.

Tarlia I meant to ask - did we ever hear the name you decided on? Don't mind if you don't want to post it here :)

mrsh defo try bath, best thing I did in labor, didn't want to get out! ! good luck!

Thanks. Have had a little bleeding. Should I be worried about that?

Wooo, p-buttons. Go ladies!

mrsh no name yet. The name we want isn't on 'the list' so we have to apply to the government :(

Oh, I had forgotten you weren't in the uk. How odd that you don't get a free choice.
