Due in November - Part 6 - The Ring of Fire is approaching !

[FoghornLeghorn]

Here you go girls - somewhere new you for us to discuss our burning bits

Hello all

I hope your all feeling ok, Catty i hope the scan gives you some good news.

We have the worst weather here im contemplating lighting the fire! It's pi**ing down with rain and rather chilly.

Im ok today a bit tired, i gave poor DP a fright in the night, i woke up and stretched my leg in an awkward position and felt something rip then go ping! Now im in agony, poor dp woke up to me rolling round the bed in tears moaning he thought i was in labour! This morning im hobbling roung getting my housework done and looking after my mum she's quite poorly at the moment really depressed and run down, i have put her to bed for a sleep and made her an appointment with our dr this afternoon.

DS went into his 'big boy' bed last night and slept like an angel all night im chuffed he looks so cute all tucked up asleep in it.

I had my anti-d injection yesterday it was quite painfull the midwife came at my thigh like it was a dart board, ds watched with horror so i had to but on a brave face. I don't really like the idea of anti-d, coming from comeone elses blood and all but it had to be done so ho hum!

Best go now hobble into the kitchen put my roast chicken in the oven and feed the pet chickens in the garden. Have a lovley day and evening TGIF!

morning all!!!!

welcome martinemorris.. pleased our winging has put a smile on your face, it's nice to know your not alone isn't it!! lol

yup, i'm with you all on the turning over in bed.. it's impossible, the pain is just getting ridiculous now.. i can't stand up without help either, pain is not just in my bits but running down my thighs in my lower back and my hips, making me feel very sorry for myself.. still got 7weeks (Provided i give birth on my due date) of this and i'm convinced it will only get worse as lo gets bigger!! i think lo is uncomfortable too, keeps wriggling to find a better position, it's been very active this last week, and i can work out body parts now!!

delia, fab news your placenta's moved out the way! very you've seeen your lo again!!

catty, sorry your feeling down.. i always find a good cry helps me!! get it all out of your system now, then when you have your scan and have to fight for what you want your a lot stronger mentaly without pent up tears threatening... did that make sense? anyway hope your scan gives you the news you want!!! didn't you train as a madwife? hopefully all the knowledge you gained their will help you when the time comes!!

mygirl, hope you feel better soon

fatbetty, for names i think we're going for kyra louise for a girl and luke daniel for a boy... it's such a massive decision to make deciding someones name for them!! with ds we were doubting ourselves right up until the end, now i'm so glad we chose it!! we have such a long complicated double barrelled surname too so i want their 1st name to be something simple!!

i think thats all... starting to pack for the weekend today, so washing everything and tidying the house in preperation.. it's my mummy's 60th birthday, we're taking her out for a suprise meal, lol it's really bothering her that she doesn't know what were up to!!

Harrogatemum, glad to hear that you are home and feeling better.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one experiencing pains. I've never had it before (that I remember) with my first 2 pregnancies. Hate complaining about it but it is painful. Even just walking over to pick up DS1 from school was a bit of a struggle. Hope it doesn't get worse.

We do have a baby name book that we went through last night but nothing is popping out at me. I don't want a really popular name but don't want something really out there either. Have a feeling that this LO will be known as "baby girl" for a while.

harrogatemum - glad your better now, must have been a little scary!! look after yourself now!!

Goodness, you have all been busy!!

MyGirl, Hope you feel better soon, it must be horrible feeling unwell on top of everything else at the moment!! We are really stuck for a middle name, even considered using DS's first name as a middle name because they go well together, but can't decide if that is a bit of a strange thing to do?!! DS's middle name is DH's name so that is already gone, George is DH's Dad's middle name, and the only (male) person on my side of the family I would consider naming him after, the name really doesn't go with George.
Delia, great big thumbs up, it sounds like everything is on track
Martine, welcome to the thread We have the same due date - race ya, last one there gets a baby!!
Harrogatemum, I really hope you are feeling better. What a hard time of it you have had.
Charlee, I hope your mum picks up soon. I remember when DS went into his big boy bed for the first time, he hardly dented the mattress!!

Well I have reached a sticking point with the housework, apart from piles of washing to get through, I can't do anything else. The baby has hiccups again (third time today!!) so I am just sat enjoying a few minutes of rest with him

Mygirl, I think you always end up having the sex that you can't of a name for, we had the girls name all wrapped up about a week after I found I was pregnant! Boys name, well 33 weeks later and I am still trying to decide!!

I started a thread and the possibilites so far are Geoge Alfred, George Patrick, George Henry, don't think DH will go for Alfred, although that is my favourite so far!!

...can't think of a name for....

PG brain.

I agree completely, we were all decided on girls names but I just can't really make a decision about boys, I think it's because my friends have already taken the names I like !

wow we're all here chatting today!

HarrogateMum - glad to hear your okay, make sure you take it easy and look after yourself (nag nag).
Martine - welcome
Charlee - hope your feeling better soon and that your mum makes a speedy recovery.
CattyB - sending you and your lo lots of turning thoughts (hopefully we can create a jedi mind trick between us all
mygirl - hope your feeling better soon.

such a lot to catch up on since yest!!!

harrogatemum i hope your lo can hold in there a little longer, sure itd be fine if born now but a bit more worrying for you!!!

well while in tesco last night (yay tesco!! ) im pretty sure baby moved, and i mean moved, and i have a funny feeling that he turned himself from head down to breech, or atl east thats how the movements have felt like since (kicks where i had very little movement low down and not a lot of kicks up high) it was very uncomfortable while he was moving and now im worried he'll be breach! think i might make a mw appointment to get them to check him out, or i could wait till docs in 2 weeks....will talk to dh later.

anyone else having weird dreams........think it was to do with him moving yesterday and me being worried but i dreamt i was at my mums but just my dad and my bro was there, my bro was feeling what i thought was babies head (at top of bump) and said 'yeah feels like a head to me' then slipped and pushed baby down, and baby came out!! i couldnt get hold of dh or my mum and my bro and dad didnt know waht to do and i was just sat with this baby (still attatched by placenta) on the sofa.............very strange!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish I was getting enough sleep to dream !

Stacey - hope LO isn't the wrong way now but if he can do such a big somersault one way hopefully he can do it the other!

Wow - everyone has been sooo chatty, I don't think I can remember to reply to everyone Welcome newbies
Hope all the breach babies turn (there is still time)
and NJ - am jelous of your cleaning frenzie I really need some sort of kick to get my house into shape!
On a positive note, ds's new bedroom is nearly finished, we are going to put the curtains up tonight and build his last chest of drawers and then he can go into it this weekend
I had a massive contraction on Thursday morning and have felt a bit funny ever since - so I actually packed my hospital bag last night just incase. I also sent my ironing away last week and this week and when she dropped the ironing off tonight, she commented on how my bump had dropped - I wonder who will be the first to have their baby out of all of us? I bet I will still be here 2 weeks after my due date. Anyway, that's enough from me. Bye, bye

obv everyone is busy this weekend........not too sure about babies position now as his movements have gone back to normal so will just wait till docs appointment and get them to check hes head down.

got a letter today saying im entitled to the SSMG! and £500 will be paid into my bank on weds!! am so pleased, now looking at double maclarens.........boots have got the twin techno (the one i really like) for £179.99 atm and they have a £10 off online if brought before 10th oct...so prob getting mum to put it on credit card (they get clubcard points as tesco credit card) and pay the £169.99 and get my advantage card points too.......no real point in buying it at mothercare if i get money back (effectivly) from somewhere else!

Great news Stacey! DH and I are trying to go through our loft and have a good clean out while attempting to retrieve baby items. At the moment he is going through old university papers and notes and is finally throwing them away! Hurray!!

Woo hoo Stacey - that must be a relief for you

Packed babies bag today - just mine to go we're going to do that next weekend when I have stocked up on a couple of nighties and some nice big pants!

Visit to consultant did not go well on Thurs, he wasn't the top man I saw last time but a junior in his 2team2 who was not interested in the amount of liquid or even the sixe of the baby. I had to force him into doing a random blood sugar test (both midwife & sonographer said it could be diabetes) as well as a Group B swab - I've had a +ve result before so wanted to be tested again. Grrrrrrr Have a scan and another appokintment at 36 weeks and have requested that I see the top consultant again!

Stuff re my dad going ok, we have cleared his flat and handed it back to the estate agent, the cremation is planned for this Thursday and I am getting on with all the paperwork. There was no will so I have to apply for a letter of administration which lets me do the same things as a executor of a will... it's all very complicated!

Hope you have all had fab weekends and welcome to Martine

Hello

Sorry im not going to reply to all of your threads but it will take me weeks, its taken me an hour to read them all!! Glad everyone is ok apart from the aches and pains obviously.

This week has really dragged i woke up Monday morning and didnt know what to do. Ive mainly slept (find it easier in the day for some reason) and tried to get some things done that couldnt do when i was working.

Lo is still as active as ever and causing me all sorts of pain with various limbs and bum movements. Ithink he has dropped more now tho because it feels like im walking with a bowling ball between my legs after about 10 mins but got the mw Tues so she will be able to tell me then. I have had bad heartburn this week too and dont think uve ever drunk so much, im so thirsty all the time (has anyone else had this?) feeling a bit fed up with it all now and just want him out - i know that is seldish of me cos he isnt ready yet but then i think if thier original date was right he would be due next week, I just cant wait to feel comfortable again and be able to do simple things like turn over in bed!!!
Other than that everything is fine, miss not coming on here everyday to check up on things but me and dp are hoping to get a computer for xmas. Have sorted out los room and got my hospital bag sorted so feel ready now, just waiting for DD!

Hope everyone is ok and may i say im very disappointed that no one has dropped yet i was getting excited this morning that we might of had our first baby on here, well im still hoping its me!

well wrote a huge post and comp crashed, cant be arsed now! lol

hope all you ladies are ok and we'r not having babies pop out all over the place....will be on tomo, hopefully someone to talk to then!

Hi LeBe lovely to hear from you, take it easy now.

Well I managed to frighten myself silly this afternoon, we've been to the hospital for our tour today and there were far too many tiny LO's around which brought it all crashing back. There were a couple of ladies in labour and very near the end from what the midwife I could hear was saying - Ouch ouch ouch! do I have to do it again?

Not yet - we've got weeks, weeks I tell you!!! (gulp).

Got told off by my the madwife cause I haven't packed my bag yet - didn't dare tell her that I haven't actually got most of the stuff that needs to go in it yet either [oops]. Started packing that this afternoon after getting back and need to buy a few things now lol.

Take care everyone and hope you've had a good weekend catch up next week.

H x

Morning everyone

Hope you all had good weekends, ours was fairly quiet compared to the last few - thank goodness, I think we all needed a break from DIY and running around like blue arse flies!!

Podglet - sorry the consultant wasn't up to scratch, it really gets on my nerves when the 'professionals' obviously forget that their 'cases' are actually human beings with feelings and a bit of knowledge, so can't be fobbed off.
Lebe - pleased to hear from you, I know how you are feeling re. the time dragging by, time has started to slow down a bit here as well. I think that is why I am pushing myself to get the house sorted, it is giving me something to do all day!

I have worked out that if I go 2 weeks overdue (with DS I was induced at gestation +5, but he was showing no signs of coming by then!) the baby will only be 2 weeks old on Christmas day, that is quite scary!! Don't know what is worse, the thought of that or that if he comes two weeks early, I only have 4 and a half weeks left....

I think I am finding it quite unbelievable that we are going to have a baby at all, let alone in the next few weeks, with DS I was so excited, and that was it, I wasn't scared, or worried, or anything, was just completely taken over by excitment, this time, I don't know if it is because I know what is coming, as in the labour, or if it is now that I know what is at stake, I am still excited, but I am also bricking it about the birth, knowing things that can go wrong (even if they are very rare!) doesn't help!! I find myself almost putting off thinking about having another real baby again! Almost as if, if I don't think about it, it can't be happening!!!

How bloody wierd am I?!!!

Hi all. I've not been on here since last Tuesday so have not managed to read all posts. It sounds like almost everyone is struggling now. I'm not too comfortable myself. I think it's amazing that it is only after you get pregnant that you start to hear about the many things that can make you uncomfy. I always thought I'd be sick at the beginnning, fine in the middle and heavy at the end! Nobody mentioned heart burn or the problem with breathing or the many other things. I really need this baby to drop a bit and start engaging so that I can breathe again. Is this reasonable at 36 weeks? First babies can engage at this stage can't they? Hope so!

I finish work this week so am frantically trying to hand over everything. Not sure if I'll ever come back so I want to leave things as tidy as possible. I am starting to realise that I'll miss being at work, but am looking forward to having a lie in every day and hopefully a baby very soon. If I was born at 37 weeks then surely this baby could be? It's odd, every time I have any sort of twinge I feel quite scared about birth. So half the time I can't wait for it to arrive, and the other half I am scared about it arriving!

hi everyone...........well iv only 5 weeks to go till EDD, but dd was 2 weeks early so dont think this one will wait much longer! i predict he'll be born Nov 5th, had this date in my head since the begining, it was only last night when i told dh that he told me its fireworks night, didnt even register with me! lol

have finally started my xmas shopping.....dd has all her presents brought and lo has a few outfits, but not getting him much as have so much baby stuff already and he wont know!
