July 2015 (thread 10) - the one where the bumps are huge, feet become unreachable and nesting seriously kicks in.

[Fattycow]

Welcome, welcome, to the 10th thread for babies expected in July 2015.
We are all counting the days and might even see the arrival of the first babies on this thread!

Here is the stats list, please keep your own entry up to date:

Stinky, I'm 37+4 today, so I could very well have 4.5 weeks left of waiting!

Butler, I'm the same gestation as you and sort of in the same boat. If I go to 41 weeks, my DH will be free for 5 weeks from then. So it would be nice if baby stays put until then so daddy can be there fulltime for the first few weeks. But on the other hand, I'm tired of being pregnant!

Also, I've had two shitty nights of sleep. 8 hours between them...

4 hours sleep a night would be considered a success here. In between DD's wake ups, my insomnia, hip pain and wee trips I average 2-3 broken hours. It sucks!

Had a pretty decent sleep, first since Thursday, woke up with headache from hell and no sign of paracetamol in the house. Not that I usually use them.
Baby boy was lovely and active yesterday afternoon/evening but has quietend right down again I don't know what to do or how to feel.

Butler I am the same as you, my csection is booked for the 14th of July, and I want to keep to that date. I do not want baby turning up early.

Did you hear that baby? do not turn up early! I have this planned down to military precision in relation to Maternity leave (finish on the 10th) and Paternity leave (he finishes on the 13th!)

Kids are all sorted to stay at grandparents the night before (parents work shifts so it wasn't easy!) so no baby, no, STAY PUT.

Shit night sleep though, went to bed at 9pm (which is mega early for me) feeling sick, belly ache, periody and headache. Wide awake at 3am (and randomly it was almost light?!) then fell asleep, alarm rudely woke me up for work at 5:20.

Urgh.

Busy old me again so struggling to keep up, partly work and also nice things like visiting friends over weekend and our wedding anniversary yesterday.

Had my gtt this morning, surprisingly for me I wasn't hungry at all. The drink was just lucozade so was able to drink it fine. the results should be in later at teatime, so fingers crossed til then...

I want baby to stay put til at least term so I can go mlu (if not got g.diabetes!), but might try some tempting him out after I finish work end of June. It'll be another 6 weeks for me if he stays put til 42 weeks, that seems ages to go.

What do people think about evening primrose oil to help ripen cervix? Anyone going to do that? Can take daily tablets orally but also insert inside over night. I'm 36wks Thursday so was thinking may start then. Or as jmojo said think some regular bonking from now on will do the same job and is more enjoyable!

I'm literally excited for all of you thinking you might be getting your labour signs.

If I go over, I might actually have my baby on our wedding anniversary! Now that would stop our tradition of going to the venue for a nice dinner out on the day.

Me too Fatty, due on the 7th and wedding anniversary is the 14th.

Thank you all for your well wishes. I gave birth on Sunday morning to a boy, 5lb 12oz which is good - he was 35+2. I got discharged on Sunday night and he is in the special baby care unit as was bringing up all his milk but it seems to be going down now so hope he'll be home by the end of the week.

Congratulations lightgreen!

Congratulations, lightgreen!

Aaaah congratulations lightgreen. Hopefully you'll be home together in no time xx

Wonder who's going to be next!

Congrats on your little boy, lightgreen !

broody, we should all have a guess about who's next!

Congratulations lightgreen, that's a great weight. Hope he is home with you soon.

Congratulations lightgreen hope the lo gets home soon!

Congratulations lightgreen!

Ahh who is next!?

Congrats light-green, that's really great news. You'll both be home before you know it.

Fatty if I do go over... ten days after d day is MrF's 40th! Would be a fab present of his first born son, but I'm not that good to give birth for perfect present timing!

I'm guessing Stinky! Any more news on possible symptoms?

Lovely news lightgreen congratulations! Gets more real with every birth announcement! I wonder how zampa and little one are doing. Has anyone heard anything?

cross posted stinky, I guessed you! x

Aw congratulations light green that's great news. Hope you are well and he gets home soon. Look forward to hearing more when you're ready

Congrats lightgreen.

I found some energy this morning and we've managed to sort almost all of baby boys things in the house ready. Mine/his bags ready, Moses basket set up, pram in new place. New drawers arriving tomorrow for me to put his clothes in. Well just have cot to bring over from parents.

My bro has just told that his gf is 10weeks pregnant, woop! Due in January. Can get all excited to go again as soon as the boy is out.

Charlie, congrats on becoming an aunty in January!

I'm hoping I'm next MrsF but symptoms have eased off slightly other than dull, period like pain
