Bitch bitch bitch!!!!

I'm with Tiny!

Smiling - your mil really does sound like a pita. You poor thing being overdue and her being such a cow. Whilst financially not living with her sounds like it won't be ideal, I am not sure if mentally getting away from her and going nc would be the best option. What does your dp think?

Tiny did sum it up nicely. Enjoy your last week before the chaos starts again.

I am broken as ds doesn't want me to sleep. But trying to enjoy this time as will never go through it again and know how lucky I am to finally have my family complete and no more ttc and mc stresses in my life.

LIG I feel the same. No more miscarriages... No more cyclogest and clexane and blood measuring and so on after next week...

I've been for a long walk to try and get this baby moving and clear my head, DP and I have agreed we will be better off going NC with her but not at the moment, financially it just isn't possible right now until I go back to work. I've found a nice 3 bedroom house just down the road from my mum for £700 per month so although money will be tight we could just about manage. I feel calmer knowing that it is possible to find something in a nice area with good schools that we could afford. We have enough in savings for a deposit and a months rent so when I go back to work we will start looking and when we find the right house, in the right area at a price we can afford we will tell her the house is going on the market.

As DP said we have a roof over our heads and she can't sell without my signature so we are safe, we can do it on our terms, so I feel much calmer, I'm going back to concentrating on getting this baby out.

LIG hope you can catch up on some sleep soon. This is what I am mostly dreading with the arrival of Bunny - lack of sleep!

Smiling so pleased that you are feeling better :)

By the way, can anyone recommend a changing bag? I haven't got a changing bag and I still haven't ordered Bunny's bugaboo - I just can't part with so much money!

We've got this one www.kiddicare.com/p/Bababing_Deluxe_Day_Tripper_Changing_Bag_Black.htm?product_id=553330&gclid=CNv00Y_Uw8QCFTHLtAodrl4Alw i think it's the most expensive thing we've bought but it has loads of storage pockets, inbuilt thermal pocket, changing mat and I will probably use it till beanie is about 2 instead of a handbag.

I have a skip hop one.
It's expensive but got mine second hand :-)

Smiling, so glad you are feeling better.

I've been made homeless with a new baby and it was awful with the stress ruining the lead up to his birth. Just try to relax, she can't do anything anyway.

ebwy sorry you went through that x

I think last night I just went into panic mode and the pregnancy hormones didn't help. But DP is right we won't become homeless because she cant unilaterally decide to sell so we can bide our time and do it on our terms and wait till the right house comes up, nothing is happening until at least August when I'm back at work because we simply can not afford the rent while I'm on smp.

Thank you all for letting me rant and being supportive

On the baby news front I have been for 2 Long walks today and just had a Chinese chicken curry.

smiling trust me DH ex wife held the sale up of their house for 5 years its next to impossible to sell a house with only one party agreeing unless you a willing to spend £££ in court. And in all that time the cow refused to pay the morgage too!

london we got an amazing deal on a 2nd hand bug cam 3 perfect condition (not a single mark on the frame) with original raincover, seat liner and footmuff for only £380. DH has never been so happy we almost bought one brand new an hour before we saw it but I don't rate mothercares customer service so wanted to go elsewhere.
One of the reasons I wanted the Cameleon was I really like the drawstring bag and prefer to use it as a nappy bag. But its difficult to get too with the pram part on.
I have an ergo backpack that attaches to the carrier so I will use it attached to the handle bar.

LIG I hope your DS let you get some sleep soon. How nice that your family is now complete I can imagine your relief.

Glad you are feeling more in control smiling. pregnancy hormones are horrible. I was a mess on friday with them. Just waiting for the day 3 hormones to kick in although seem to have got to day 4 now without any major breakdown. (With dd I was a mess on day 3.) I am hoping the long walks etc. kick things off.

Tiny - i forgot the blood sugar monitoring. I am eating really badly now. Partly because I can and partly because I am too tired to eat properly at meals and then snack on high sugar crap in the middle of the night.

Just waiting for ds to wake up. He has been asleep in his carry cot for almost 3 hours now . Hoping this is a pattern rather than a one-off blip from his side. I am awake with swollen leaking boobs but feel it is a bit silly to be awake whilst he is asleep.

thanks, smiling

it worked out well... my best friend took us in, and now I am engaged to him :)

pains in my bump, back ache, loads of movement from baby, sudden poo urges....

but not in early labour, apparently. ho-hum. 3rd trimester is such fun sometimes

no comment on the sudden poo urges, especailly with blooming metformin (it's a known side effect)

I feel exactly the same Ebwy I really thought I'd gone into labour last night.

Felt sick, needed the toilet loads, really bad back pains, shooting pains in my cervix which felt like baby baring down. But all stopped now.

Have got a midwife appointment at 12.20

I have hospital tomorrow to check my pee and blood pressure... then tuesday for pre-op. then caesarian the day after.

If I last until then - most of my friends seem to think I'll go earlier

Hi all. Day 8 with DD and I think I'm having a hormone crash Not helped by the fact that my mum is also having a bad couple of days - my dad has been in pain the last couple of days, and that really gets her down, and now our new au pair has arrived, she feels a bit redundant here with us. She went home last night, and says she slept well and feels a bit better this morning, but I don't know if I believe her...
DD is an angel however - feeding really well, and sleeping for decent stretches at night. Never had that with DS! I keep waking her up to be fed, as I'm nervous about letting her go too long. This morning she projectile pooed all over me during her nappy change delightful!

Looking forward to seeing more thread babies arriving really soon! Hope you are not all in discomfort for much longer. Is there going to be a postnatal thread? Or could I still join you on fb, if I'm not too late to do so?

Ewby I'm having a lot of that too. Especially the active baby, ouch.
Last night I really though labour was kicking off even went to bed early so I would have energy if I did delivery. But all the cramping & back pain seems to have eased off.

Tea. for you and your mum. It's tough enough having a family member with declining health never mind hormones on top too.
I'm glad your DD is sleeping well long may it continue.

I hope there will be a postnatal thread I'm not on FB.

I think (at least you used to be able to ) on MN you can make photos avalible only to certain posters on your profile. I was thinking of doing that to share photos with the thread once DD arrives.

No, not too late for FB but we can open our own mini post natal thread as well...

I am about to leave, but if anyone wants to join FB (as i will only put photos there) PM me your name or email address you use for FB and I can add you to the group later today...

tomorrow i have my section pre-assessment, then monday i go in for an overnight stay and tuesday is E-Day... eeeek

The babies just wanted to get our hopes up last night little and Ebwy

Just seen midwife and am booked in for a sweep on saturday

Tiny it must be nice to know that by Tue night you will have your baby in your arms.

smiling we are being teased by them! I'm really nervous about the idea of sweep but I've got a feeling they will want to set a date for one on Wednesday.

I'm thinking of a walking into town tomorrow (wildly exciting I haven't been anywhere alone for 5 months!) its an hour round trip up and down a huge hill. Said hill was the reason I started dilating with DD1 so if my cervix is ready to go it should help it.
DH is very against the idea but I'd rather go into labour over the weekend plus its all nice and sunny I want to go out.
I have just realised I could go out right now, nothing stopping me bedrest has made a hermit out of me!

Ditto with the back pains, bump pains etc. Earlier today I did actually start to wonder if something was starting but it's all eased off now - apart from the back ache - that's a permanent feature :(
I have a feeling this one might come early (now watch me go over due) but if I could just have another week to reorganise furniture, put the cot up and sort through the clothes that would great! Not least cos I'm currently 300 miles from home.

((Hugs)) tea Hope your mum and dad are doing ok.
