March 2015 - the babies are starting to arrive as we waddle towards the finish line with maternity leave countdowns and TMI all around!

[Pisghetti]

New (and probably) final thread for those of us due in March (with a few lovely February ladies who didn't want to leave).

four also super impatient but not so much of a wriggle out of the ordinary. Nothing at all! Come on baby!

Lucia Jane Scott made her appearance at 1052 yesterday weighing 8lb 4oz. She's incredible! I'll try post a pic but wifi is a bit shit in here

So tired, no sleep, no sign of baby.
38 weeks today, 14 days untill section. Would really love him sooner and naturally.
Think I will actually get more sleep once he's here.
Hope everyone is plodding along ok, and those lucky ones with newborns are enjoying cuddles and not too sore nips for the breastfeeds.

congratulations gudgy

i have brought lansinoh therapearl hot and cold gel thingys to help this time with the early days breastfeeding. And boots own nipple cream as im allergic to lanolin as i found out after i had ds and slathered loads of lansinoh on my already very sore breasts was not good at all. but at less than a third of the cost boots own seems to be great so im thankful that i found one without lanolin in it 21 sleeps until c section. i will probably be more relaxed about it after my pre op appointment when i get answers to my questions about the anesthetic

Morning ladies hope your all well!

I've got up this morning feeling rather energetic and positive so that's a bonus!!

Congratulations Gudgy can't wait to see a pic. So jealous your little girl is here already

Congrats gudgy enjoy her :)

Congrats gudgy!! Can't wait to see a pic

Not sure if I'm 'nesting' or not but have spent the afternoon completely blitzing my kitchen...all surfaces, cupboards and drawers have been bleached and tidied. Yesterday I spent the afternoon sorting out my wardrobe, draws, bedside cabinets and under cot storage space...I even sorted out the bathroom cabinet!!

I've been the same Durham! Bleached skirting boards and scrubbed kitchen yesterday, today I've been mopping and hoovering anything and everything I can!

fish ooh good point, think skirting boards need doing here too!

My OH is wondering who has kidnapped his girlfriend and replaced her with a cleaning freak

I'm the same durham and fish but to be honest this is not entirely unusual for me so not hopeul it means anything other than I'm off work with some free time... Maybe I need to get a life!

Major nesting here too, I walked around the house with a bin bag today, throwing stuff out. I got such a sense of satisfaction from it! Also can't get enough of the smell of bleach and other cleaning products, I think I could bathe in them, mmmmm! /weirdo :D

Ladies - any suggestions on the following (TMI sorry)?

This morning I woke up, went to the toilet, downstairs to get breakfast and felt wet. Thought maybe I'd just leaked but when I went back upstairs there was a fair amount of liquid/discharge tinged in places with just a little brown but didn't look mucus-y. Put on a liner and laid down for hour or so but no other gushes as such although a little more of the brown stuff which has now stopped. It didn't particularly smell.

I've felt little tiny leaks/drips (perhaps) throughout the day but nothing you can see on the liner and I could just be imagining it.

I've had a couple of tightenings but again, nothing really to mention.

Baby moving throughout the day as usual. Do you think this is my mucus plug slowly disappearing? Should I have called the midwife? Seems silly as I don't know what it is. Has anyone else had this (I'm 39+3). Not sure what to expect, I'm guessing things are moving along but not sure what this discharge was I thought the plug was supposed to be like jelly?

Any advice? Thanks all!

moo I have no idea - sorry! If it were me I'd give triage a ring but then I called about my husband's cold sore

Hope it is things starting for you!

life im loving the smell of disinfectant atm weird

Moo I'd call MAC and talk it through with them. (At least u will know either way and be able to get some sleep tonight)

I have been to MAC this evening as felt reduced movement from Baby G all day. Midwife did the usual prodding and measuring and placed me on a monitor.
No sooner had she put the straps across my belly did my little mischief spring into action. Just relieved it turned out to be nothing. 38 weeks tomorrow

Hi all, glad to have found you all. I'm 38+1 and desperate for labour to begin so I can meet this bubba. I also have been on a cleaning/sorting frenzy! Haven't felt any signs labour is coming. Drinking lots of raspberry leaf tea, walking lots and tweaking my nipples! No sex as I have a urine infection (again!). Come on babies!!

Congrats Gudgy, she's finally here! and what a lovely name.

Have been booked in for induction at 39 weeks as baby is on the large side due to GD. Reassured to have the date and now getting all ducks in a row!

I feel sick today. Tell me that is a sign of imminent labour. I am sooooooo bored!

Hi all
havent caught up yet but congrats to all those with babies, hope your labours went well and babies are healthy. First week of mat leave for me andI feel dreadfull! Expected to be cleaning and sorting but dont have the energy!

Moo how r things today?

M33r, it can be a sign. It can also be one of those lovely pregnancy things that mean sweet FA. I keep getting a pain similar to a first contraction and it turns out to be just sodding wind. SOOOO disappointing!

Well, today has been eventful had growth scans and antenatal appointment this afternoon and was expecting it to be straight forward (scan and baby all fine) however it seems that my bp is on the high side and i have protein in my urine...so now I've been admitted to hospital overnight for observations (my 6th admission to hospital now)...my pregnancy has been so Joyful! Fingers crossed I'll be able to home in the morning.

Hope you get sorted soon durham and everythings ok.

Also had those "contractions" that disappear with a good trump or toilet trip!

Good luck Durham hope it's all ok. Not too long now what ever happens, bless you though you've had a rough time of it. Xx
