Good Luck Bean

I'm going to nip to boots at some point and get some of those maternity pad things that you can lay on, and keep one between my sheet and mattress just in case :)

when you put it in days Costa that really hits home!!!!

Sorry Mum, really hope he isn't readmitted :(

applecore0317 · 01/05/2015 09:01

bean Oooh good luck today!!!

apple it does doesn't it?! I sat there written that and thought shit!!!

twinkle another 24th duebie wonder who will be first! Ha

So many babies due in the next few days, so exciting!! Smile

Threesoundslikealot · 01/05/2015 09:15

Hello, thread. I really can't do the individual call out thing because I post on my phone and it's just impossible, but I have read every post. Huge good lucks to people being induced today, and people with twinges.

May today means 8 days till my DD which feels weird! Finally on mat leave from today and I think, because I went at about 36 weeks before, mentally I've been assuming the baby is still ages away, and it's not. Only getting period pains a bit in the evening right now so nothing imminent.

mum, like Tori said, we were sent to the hospital for 'prolonged jaundice', although in our case it was a mistake. But by this point it's a blood test to check for a liver condition rather than much concern about the jaundice itself.

Tori and Chook, so chuffed about your spinning babies!

Sunshinesaz86 · 01/05/2015 09:40

Omg it's officially MAYYYYY!!!! Grin

Good luck to all ladies due over the next few days! 13 days for me (unless I go over)

kittiker · 01/05/2015 10:07

Can't believe it's May!

Didn't realise we shared a due date Kitty - hope we both get some signs soon!

Enjoy you massage, Cup - and don't worry, nada is happening here so you'll be fine.

shinyhappyone · 01/05/2015 11:13

It's May?!! Oh crikey! That was the month that was never going to get here and then everything went really quickly and now we're here. EEk!!

Mum - Fingers crossed for Leo. Hoping he doesn't have to be readmitted

Bean- lots of luck for today!

So update on the husband shingles thing. He is definitely not allowed on the labour suite if he has spots in a place that can't be covered with clothing. So far they're just on his left shoulder. Plan B is getting mother in law from Hereford to Nottingham to be my birthing partner. Really really hoping it doesn't come to that. Can't imagine doing it without DH. So baby boy is going to stay put til due date (12th) and then all will be fine. You're listening aren't you little one?!!

Looking forward to all the baby news this month ladies. Good luck all xx

mumxof3x · 01/05/2015 11:47

Thanks all. Im not breastfeeding just formula feeding now, hasnt had any expressed milk since 4 days old. Midwife just said readmitted so just presumed she meant properly x

applecore0317 · 01/05/2015 12:27

shiney, feet up and legs closed :D

Got a lot of painful pressure on my pelvis today. Not agony but not pleasant, anyone else got this?

May at last! Feel like dancing, though if dd is more than 1 day late she will be a June baby. We shall see.

mum hope you get to bring Leo home once and for all.

Shiny how unlucky! Fx he stays put and they clear up quickly.

Eagerly awaiting more baby news.

cuphat · 01/05/2015 13:40

Thanks kittiker!

Finally got my section date today. Due to the weekend and bank holiday the choices were 4 day apart and I found it hard to decide which one to go for. As I've said that time is going too fast the whole way through I opted for the later date - 26th May. So hopefully I'll have a few extra quality days with DD. I'll be 39+4 so I really hope baby stays put till then.

applecore0317 · 01/05/2015 13:53

Tori go and get it checked out, I have the pain but she is moving a fair bit. So definitely give them s call and go down

piglet81 · 01/05/2015 14:45

Hope everyone's OK and Tori, do get checked out just to be on the safe side.

Saw cardiologist this morning who said I'm absolutely fine to use the birth centre from his point of view, so that's great. (I expect after all that fuss I'll decide halfway through that I want more pain relief than they can offer, but I really do want to give it a try at least!).

Treating myself to a haircut now, and have also been eating chocolate pop-tarts because frankly if 39 weeks pregnant isn't the time to do as you please then I don't know when is! Grin

Royalsteph · 01/05/2015 15:55

is there a link to the stats page? so we can update it as and when babies arrive (and also coz I'm nosy) Grin
last day at work today so officially on maternity leave, hope everyone has a good long weekend

leanne963 · 01/05/2015 17:46

Heya everyone!! Lots of cute baby pictures in the Facebook group! So proud of everyone!!! Just bought a tens machine! It was £7 different between renting and buying so I thought what the hell! Kinda weird though as I will be using it so soon, I still feel like I am 'pretending' to be pregnant i know that sound weird but even saying I am pregnant sounds strange to me lol!

jessiesw · 01/05/2015 17:47

Hi guys it's been a while, Iris is such a good baby but she still has been keeping me busy. now it's May I imagine more babies will be appearing soon, can't wait for that! xx Good luck to everyone who is due soon! My original due date was the 5th, can't believe she is already a week and 2 days old. x

For those not on Facebook this is Juno! She was born at 1244 weighing 7lb 4. All good. I'm enjoying the drugs. Husband has gone home to deal with older child which is a bit scary!!
