Congratulations climbing! Another thread baby! How much did he weigh and did you get home straight away? Any chance you would share the name you've gone with? I hope you're making a quick recovery and he's letting you get at least some sleep!

Positivity I feel exactly the same when I went to Ikea a couple of weeks ago. I never noticed how full of pregnant women it was until I was pregnant too. Must be a nesting thing!

Afreshstartplease · 26/09/2016 07:50

There is no way I could manage a walk around Ikea. I contemplated it the other day but just could not face it. Think I'll do an online order!

36+5, no more pains, sleep average.

Seeing mw tomorrow expecting to be told baby is lower.

Hope all the new babies are settling in well.
So Cba with school run Sad

Schnitzel glad to hear gastro is on the way out.

Fresh can they tell by looking if baby has dropped? I'm 36+1 and DH made a comment that my bump looked lower. Seems to be back up again today though - maybe she's popping in and out of my pelvis.

Last week at work and I'm just NOT INTERESTED anymore - can't wait to finish!

Afreshstartplease · 26/09/2016 11:41

I think they can tell by having a feel of bump, top of fundus will be lower down than previously, also by feeling for babies head.

Last visit baby was head down 3/5 engaged. Now this is baby four so can come in and out but I'm sure he's only gone down further. Sat on the toilet one day and felt like physically felt him move lower, since then I have pressure everytime I sit on the toilet and I have to go for about 3 number 2s a day!

She has climbed out of the pelvis Angry

I have to get an exercise ball. She as also stopped growing and fluid is on increase again so they are trying to get me a scan in the next 3 days.

I've been told if my waters go to and I feel like something is hanging down to phone an ambulance. My increase in fluid could lead to her cord coming away.

I have to go straight down if waters go as Baby's head is just floating and I could end up losing all fluid and dry birthing it.

Oh dear Derek, she sounds like a awkward one!

Your waters didn't break the first time did they? You might be lucky and them not go again. Mine have never gone on their own.

I had to have them popped during labour. Praying for that again now

Been having some period like cramps on and off since 3ish again

No regularity though. Some 20 min apart some 60

Fraggleface · 26/09/2016 19:31

Fresh - how long do your cramps last for?

I've been having cramps too, like dull period pains, but they last for a fair while (maybe up to an hour) before dying away again so I'm sure it's not contractions.

Afreshstartplease · 26/09/2016 19:33

Oh gosh no maybe a minute tops, I'll try and time the next one! I'm pretty sure they'll be nothing. This is feeling all too much like my second pregnancy where I had this for a week before the birth

Nickname1980 · 26/09/2016 19:52

Out all day today with DC and am absolutely ^^exhausted! The house is a total state and DH is working late tonight. All I keep thinking is: if I go into early labour today, I'll be so embarrassed about this messy house when MIL comes to watch the kids when I go the hospital Blush

That and I haven't actually packed a hospital bag or sorted the new baby's clothes out yet...

Here's hoping my baby hangs on for another couple of weeks!

Congrats on the new babies! How exciting. I would also love to hear birth stories but understand if others would rather not!

fresh and fraggle could be starting for you?!

derryjojo · 26/09/2016 20:17

First day of Mat leave today. I've barely left the sofa since this morning. Think I'll need to be a bit more productive tomorrow.

Afreshstartplease · 26/09/2016 20:51

Well my cramps have gone

Nickname my house is awful. I've been on mat leave for about a month. I just can't keep on top of the daily stuff let alone touch the bigger jobs

Nickname1980 · 26/09/2016 20:57

Ugh tell me about it, fresh, I have huge piles of in sorted clothes in every room and toys absolutely everywhere! I just don't have the energy!

Afreshstartplease · 26/09/2016 21:15

I have managed to wash clothes for babies hospital bag and pack those. So he probably has enough for like two days ....

My hospital bag contains towels and knickers and not much else so that could be interesting if I have to leave in a hurry ....

I get really really stressed out by people coming round when the house isn't tidy and there's pots and stuff. If I had to let a mw or someone in tomorrow if probably go bald

Just trying to push myself to do some bits before I go to bed so it's not that bad in the morning but I'm tired and moving makes me hot

Kariana · 26/09/2016 21:46

I really need to get the house tidied. I have the health visitor doing her antenatal visit tomorrow, seems to be a thing around here. I've basically done nothing but slob around reading today and baby is doing his best to burst out through my stomach again. Actually getting worried about the itching on my bump and the almost constant movement, he's barely slept!

Afreshstartplease · 26/09/2016 21:48

Everyday I tell myself I'll do better the next day .... but it's not working, I've joined so many cleaning threads on MN but it's no good

Bluecarrot · 26/09/2016 22:38

Same here. Feels like I get a room tidied ( slowly) then turn around and it's messy. Or kids are inconsiderate enough to ask me to make them dinner!
Today I went out and bought ready meals and snack foods. It won't kill is to eat them a few days while I focus on other things.
All else fails, I'll call my mum ;)

Figgygal · 27/09/2016 08:39

Aw me another terrible night sleep, have woken up with indigestion so can't face eating and last nights dicky Tum has turned into full blown runs this morning and my right hip is so sore today!! I'm falling apart shouldn't moan it's taken until the last couple of weeks for me to start suffering its just all hit at once.

I'll be watching tv all day feeling sorry for myself if anyone needs me

Afreshstartplease · 27/09/2016 09:13

OMG. Proper feel like someone has booted me repeatedly in the lady bits this morning. Fanny daggers every step.

Ouch ouch ouch

Slept shit too. But now feel like I need to get house straight incase all the increased discomfort is a sign of things progressing

Bluecarrot I never even manage to finish a room, there is constantly atleast one child following me undoing my work
