Happy Chatting Maybies

Good luck pixie !!!

Congrats moomin and isean. Good luck Bornin (tomorrow right) and pixie!

Loads of chat in the last few days ladies! Been away seeing my Mum for her birthday. It's getting quite real now with all these new babies. We're home today and think we'll start to sort through the big pile of baby things and get some washing done. DP has just been thinking about hospital parking... I saw a sign that said it's £1 for the first hour and £1 every 30 mins after. That's motivation for a quick labour if ever I heard it!

Good news here I passed the GTT

Yeh mini me will be born tomorrow! Just had my bloods done.... Just had my 4th night in hospital!

bornin or ohdear Sooooo exciting! good luck for tomorrow!

This security issue with mn caused me to change name!!!

Currently strapped to monitor as
Baby naughty and doesn't move, to have two ctgs today!

Ugh. I think ds2 might have slapped cheek. Thank goodness it's this end of pregnancy not the other!!

Good luck pixie!!

Good luck for tomorrow ohdear!!

So so exciting

All the best pixie how exciting

ohdear, not long now yay i bet you will be pleased to get out of the hospital, all the best

OhDear are you BornIn the poster previously known as Thistle so confused!

Hope the delivery goes well. Can't believe it's tomorrow! Eeeek!

In other news I have a crazy blotchy face. So attractive (not)! I think it might be a reaction to moisturising (I hardly ever bother)!

Seem to be cycling start stop latent labour symptoms... Cramps/back pain/period pain/ runs/ feeling nauseous/headache but only one or two at once and when I get contractions they are hurty 15mins apart but last 20s so I've decided they're BH for sure. Baby'll probably come in 5 weeks!

Just realised my last post sounded boasty, it wasn't intended as a "look how long I was stitched for" - it was intended to say that if anyone is worried about tearing (it was my biggest worry about childbirth), even being stitched up for two hours wasn't that bad!

Just had the midwife round, my blood pressure is good and Callie is a little jaundiced but not too badly :) including a pic just because I'm so proud hope it works!

All the best Pixie

Best of luck OhDear, it's so exciting! You wait nine months for these Maybies and then they all come along at once

Awww moomin she's gorgeous!!!

So exciting pixie!!! Goodluck!!!

And for you too bornin /ohdear more maybies on their way!!!

So glad all is looking good moomin she's so gorgeous!!

Moomin she is lovely

clearly the BH are driving me crazy there all the time not regular and im so tired from them im getting headachs again to and really bad mood swings poor dh i go from laughing to crying to stamping feet i have no idea how old i am some were between 2 and teenager ahhhh

clearly I'm the same as you I think. Every now and then I'll get a run of actual painful BH, only for them to fade away to nothing. They're so sore that my blood runs cold and I think "Shit. This is it. I knew I should have shaved my legs earlier!"

When I was pregnant with ds I never once thought I might be going into labour despite plenty of BH (they were never painful) so it makes me hopeful of not needing to be induced overdue this time!

moomin she is gorgeous!! Sounds like you coped brilliantly with your delivery too.

Eek good luck pixie & ohdear! Sounds like the next maybie will be arriving very soon!

Good luck pixie and ohdear! So exciting!

Moomin callie is sooooo cute, love her chubby cheeks!

Went to a breastfeeding workshop put on by the hospital on Friday, it was really good, but at 4 hrs long on hard chairs I was glad when it finished.

I'm 36+4 today. Been feeling a bit blue this week, the aches and pains are really kicking in, walking about is really hard, and I just want to hurry up and get to the exciting stuff! Anyone else feeling like this?

Gabriel is doing really well, he should be ready to come home in 3 weeks

Good luck Pixie and ohdear.
I'm hoping to have a home birth in a few weeks so would love to know how it goes.
Callie is beautiful

That's rubbish Xavielli the absolute last thing you need in late pregnancy is a poorly child , espesh with others to look after too. Hope he's ok.

Hope all goes well tomorrow Bornin sorry I can't scroll on IPad and can't remember new name.

The loveliest of news Alyss Gabriel is such a battler, his little story is quite amazing. So nice that he's doing so well. Hope you're ok too, I bet you can't wait to get him home?

Callie is lovely Moomin.

Hope everyone is enjoying the sunny weekend. I start Mat leave tomorrow, but its half term too so not quite the rest I'd like! DS nursery is closed and generally we pay for holiday cover, can't really justify it next week! Feel like there is loads to do, there isn't really, I might stay in my jams all day!

Curls I'm feeling the same. Crying for nothing,
hate being so immobile. And hate the PGP pain.

Loving the photo Moomin. What a cutie! Hope you heal quickly.

Great news Alyss.

MoominMummy! Callie is BEAUTIFUL! You lucky thing! How much did she weigh on arrival?

Good luck tomorrow bornin!! (Forgotten new name!) keep us posted!

Hope pixie is getting on ok.

Moomin - look at those cute little cheeks I just want to squish them!!! Gorgeous.

Alyss - bet you can't wait to get your little man home! So pleased he's doing well.

Curls - I have had the blues this weekend too - been unable to sleep and even cried at the London marathon coverage earlier. Am an emotional bloody wreck!

Glad it's a 4 day week this week and next....

Hezbean I was a wreck watching charity stories on marathon!

I love hearing about more babies on the way and the photos!!

isean & moomin thanks for sharing your stories. ohdear good luck for tomorrow and pixie hope all is going well!

I'm just back from our last childless weekend away. Had a massage and the therapist asked me if I was able to lie on my front

I'm sorry there was lots more i wanted to comment on but I have the memory of a fish these days.

36wks today! Really should start that hospital bag
