Babies due in May 2014 - is this the Definitelies final countdown?

[ClearlyMoo]

WELCOME! This thread is for all Mums-to-be expecting Maybies babies in (and around) May 2014! Please come and join the fun.

Put your feet up, get yourself a (decaf?) cuppa and settle in to hear the aches and pains, trials and tribulations, shopping excitement and hospital bag woes of those in their third trimester.

Hopefully you'll find a listening ear and a wealth of knowledge. Everyone welcome, especially if you're new to MN and are just peeking in as you start your maternity leave.

Hope your going ok isean

Hello everyone! I just caught up with about a weeks worth of posts while waiting for my 34 wk check up, phew!

This was my first week of annual leave/maternity leave, and I've kept myself surprisingly busy just pottering about and doing little jobs. Don't know how I'll stay sane for the next 3-8 weeks though!

Would someone be able to pm me about the Facebook group? Would love to join now that I have more time to chat!

Im not going back but not told them yet will hand in four months notice in January when mat pay stops

thats the plan but as this is my first im keeping options open just incase motherhood is the compleat opersite to what im expecting

might ping moomin on fb worried about her

Wow you have date and time curls so exciting
sorry i dont know how to add you to FB but im sure someone will be along who can

Ahhh im so tired sorry that should have been how exciting for nanny and curls i dont no how to add you

I had my midwife appt today. Even found out who my midwife will be on the day!!

When Are u due in bornin??

Having elcs 22 April depends if he comes before the. Or not

We could do with another colum on spreadsheet for induction dates CS and ELCS and date born then we will be able to see who is next. Just an idea

so exciting that so many of you know

So exciting to hear that we are well on the way to the next birth on the maybies thread! :)

Interesting to hear everyone's views on travelling close to due dates. We're supposed to be going to see my family for my sister's birthday when I'm 37 weeks - they are about 3 hours drive away. I haven't confirmed one way or the other yet, but going to see how I feel nearer the time.

Only 5 & a half more teaching days for me then I'll be on mat leave too!! I really can't wait! DH keeps reminding me it's not a holiday!

Sorry I can't namecheck everyone and sorry for disappearing! Spent most of the past few days sound asleep on cocodamol, I'm knackered and my scar is getting worse. OH wants me to go to hospital but I don't see the point when I'll be kept in to wait to see a doctor who'll tell me I'm in the wrong place and need to see a surgeon, butbi have to just grin and bear it till 40 weeks :(

I feel pathetic, baby is totally healthy but i I cant handle being pregnant. on top of it all my heart is still having times where it beats so fast I can't keep up, and taking cocodamol so often has turned me into a zombie. I'm scared about what its doing to my baby :(

Got growth scan on Monday and consultant on Tuesday. I just want someone to tell me my baby is safe and ready and can come out but I know its not ready yet and baby's health has to come first.

Sorry for whiny rant. I'm tired and sore and stretched and swollen and generally fed up!!

Isean hope you're ok! Glad they're looking after you x

Right first things first MASSIVE HUGS TO MOOMIN

....and then - you saw it here first - I have set up the new thread.

FAN FARE do do do doooo: NEW MAYBIES THREAD

If people could file over in an orderly fashion when they are good and ready - there's still 30 or so posts left on this thread but the rate you lot (including me) natter - I am off out for a curry in a bit and was worried it might run out before bedtime!

Happy chatting!

Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time moomin. Hopefully the consultant will be able to help you next week.

Right. That's this work week finished. I've enjoyed it so much because I've been the boss and my manager has been off. We've made more money this week than we have since the last time she went away for a week and I've won back a contract she lost us a year ago because she pissed off the client. I dread to think who is going to do all the work when I'm on maternity leave, but I guess that won't be my problem anymore!

Now I have to go and pick up ds and then dh and then we're going to watch ds in a play at the theatre. I hope I manage to keep awake! I'm dead on my feet. Tomorrow I need a lie in!

Moomin your baby can come whenever you want! If ure getting to the stage when u need baby out then ask!!! No pain is worth this :-(

bornin thanks for breaking the seal on the new thread!

Anyone else it's here Next Maybies Thread I'm pretty sure we've lost count but the new one has "drop zone" in the title
