Due in August - Part 8

[eenywifemum]

ok! new thread then ladies !

ooooh Yellow and Pink, sounding exciting - fingers crossed for you!

Yellow - where do you get your discount codes from - is there a website you can give me for future reference?

Dreamy - I LOVE my dyson!

Bumble - i know you wont see htis probably but good luck.

eeny - I'm not due till 24 aug so will be hanging around complaining too if its any consolation!!

have been up since 6 as pain in hips was horrendous, but done loads of ironing before it was too hot,and loads of tidying up so feeling very virtuous. going to relax outside i think for the rest of the day.enjoy everyone!

Feathers, you're on i'll get you a stiff drink of something when we eventually meet up if you beat me!

god i feel so edgy! forgot what a wierd sensation it is.

e-mail idea sounds good Feathers, i'll have to set up one that doesn't have my full name in it though before putting it on here (don't have CAT as no credit card to pay for it)

Olivo, this is it Hot Uk Deals

I've had so many good discounts from them. I always always get money off my supermarket shop. Have a look through the list of places. Its tempting just to go and buy something because of the codes!

I think its safe to say my BH's/contractions are fading. Not coming as often now. Strange.
I hope yours is the real thing Pinky.

it's only just occured to me to start timing mine.... about 6/7 mins apart but only about 20 secs long. can't decide whether to ring my mom yet or not. need her to mind dd but she's 2 hours away, that said i don't want to drag her all the way down if it's a false alarm.

try some nipple twidling Feathers, might encurage them back again! fun either way

Wow - Good luck Bumble, Yellow & Pink

To think we could have three new announcements soon.

Congratulations Arabica

Ive had a sickness and diarrhea bug since yesterday, i think its starting to go now. I spent the wholde day yesterday drifting in and out of sleep and have not much else planned for today.

Oooh you lucky sod

poor trix take it easy and put your feet up... is dh around to make you cups of tea and pamper you?

He has gone to work today but he did offer to stay home to look after me.

ooh my girls , its all soooo exciting. oooh pink wow 6/7 mins apart.

Im sitting here trying to get my head around my birth plan. Had an amazing hypnobirthing session yesterday ,made me feel really strong and in control through a long trance hypnosis , I felt FAB for ages after. and my mum said how proud of me she is and how Im doing so well after being unwell the last few years. She gave me an print out of all the things on her previous clients birth plans , so Ive been using it to help me finish mine, but Im getting a bit confused now !!! She suggests breast feeding and waiting to give birth to placenta naturally , its not something I even thought about with dd's birth & they just gave me an injection. IM really not sure what I think about it, a lot of me thinks I just want out, but if Ive managed to birth naturally it seems a shame to have a drug put inside me. She also suggests keeping babs connected to cord for a while so they get used to breathing both ways , but again its all a new concept for me , having such a medicalised 1st birth. My plan all seems a bit mixed up with natural hypnobrithing stuff and if I need it give me all the drugs I need , which doesnt sit well with hypnobrithing culture !!!! see said I was confused.

Unfortunately that FAB feeling was tainted by my DH being an arse again. My hypno lady gave me a lovely touch technique thing for my husband to do during labour and all I got was huffs and puffs when I tried to get him interested in doing it last night . I asked him to straddle the chair so I could show him and he started getting angry with me (what gives with this guy) , he then said Im asking him to do all these ODD things . I never realised how closed and conventional he was about things.He says IM going to far with all these therapys and am I really trying to not have drugs , like Im totally mad and not in touch with what I can acheive. Im really learning alot these days as Im getting stronger in mind and spirit.

sorry I seem to be using this space as therapy too . Its a relief to talk about it.

Is he back at a reasonable time Trix?

Pinky, hows those contractions coming?

oooh sorry forot to wish bumble lots and lots of luck. Even if she doesnt see this then our sentiments will flow to her.

about your dh Melsy.

He must realise somewhere that this therapy and ideas of giving birth are to help you.
Did you tell him how good you felt yesterday?

ooooh pink hope your ok

me and eeny managed to exchange email on here i wrote mine like this
jayneallport81athotmaildotcodotuk so thats me if you want me

love jaynexxxx

oooh bumble hope evrything goes well

i assume aussie mama and snow boo are still missing in action

This is me too

[email protected]

Don't care if people know my name

melsy, my dp can be a bit like that... supportive as long as HE doesn't have to do anything. drives me up the wall, put it this way, he's asleep in the chair behind me now because he didn't bother coming in til gone 3 last night even though he knew he had to get up this morning with dd. apparently he needs his rest to cope with me inconvieniently being in labour...he did the exact same thing last time

i'm going for a natural delivery of the placenta too as i firmly believe if nature designed it to take 30 mins to come out thats how long it should take, not 20 secs beacuase the mw is impatient! they gave me the injection without asking last time even though i'd had a completely natural birth and it really annoyed me. don't worry about having the possibility of drugs on your birth plan pet, its more sensible than ruling them out completely and feeling awful if you can't cope without. and kick your dh! twat

oops just read my 2nd paragraph , I meant to say breast feed to aid placental delivery.

Yellow dont think I did say how good it was , he just doesnt get these sessions at all.

Oh I forgot to ask.
I haven't bought a nursing bra. Do I really need one?
Bear in mind that there is a chance that BF might not work out for me.
I got 2 last time and they were never used so I gave them away.

melsy babes i hope your ok sorry your dh is not so understanding and ramble and chat or you want here iknow i have

sorry i missed your post and go for the birth you want i know being in control has made me feel a thousand times better even tho i always wanted a water birth i know a section is the way to go

Melsy, I think you need to tell him. Such a shame that you had a really positive session and it was tainted by him being narky.
If you can try and explain that to him he might be able to understand a bit more.

Could he even come to a session with you so he could see what happens and see the before and after you?

just set up a hotmail address;

dee_pinktulips at hotmail dot com

ive got two support bras matherinty that are stretchy and i only bought 1 feeding bra so far as they cost 24 quid

my support tops which is a complete misnomer btw wereonly 10 quid they are by anita and im taking them in with me as i can flop my boob quite easily

Yellow , mothercare have the emma janes one on sale for £10. Ive bought 2 new ones , also not sure if it will be successful this time , as I didnt do well at last time with acute anemia.

Any of you use messnger, would be great to chat that way too ? I feel funny posting my details on here. Might have to cat ALL of you !!!!

I don't have MSN. Tried it once and it made our computer go all weird.

You can email me Melsy on the address below that will save you.

Feathers, i'd get one and see how you go with the bf-ing before getting mor as they're expensive enough. you'll definitely need it if your feeding though or else you'll have todo strip show everytime to feed baby!

Ok, I'll go and have a gander at Mothercare.
