Morning all, thank you for the advice. It is a hairy situation. Chances are it will all be ok, Neil will be home and the kids fast asleep in bed and the baby will be a tiny 8lb. It is only the what if that is killing me, the more you have just means the more you worry about all others as well as yourself and unborn baby.
He cracked a joke about me being odd for worrying and i got a little tetchy, " i will get you some chocolate " he said.....
I can have DH's mum to stay at 38 weeks if she can get time off work and DH will be back when im 39 weeks. I have been in and spoken to the twins head teacher who was very nice. I could take them out of school if necessary. I speak to DD and DS #3's head tomorrow.
Really i would like to stay at home and have the baby in a birth in a box pool. The midwife said she would assess the baby size next time i see her at 34 weeks and i see the consultant at 36 weeks, i may ask to be induced on my due date or earlier if they think the baby is massive. Not ideal but if the baby is big at least i would be able to get it out naturally if it was under 9lb, the later it goes the bigger it gets! I would be able to organise child care then too. Think i will wait and see till then.
This baby feels huge but is only measuring a week over my dates at the moment. He is right under my ribs most of the time. Always the right hand side, im sure it's a head. I have started getting some mega braxton hicks too, they just get worse from now! I feel like it's flying by now, how bout all of you?
TYG what do you do if you cant get a replacement for your job? Have the baby on the table at work?! Your numpty dh needs a kick up the backside, shall i come and stay?
SOH the Ina May Gaskin yurt sounds fab, lets do it. We need more recruits though, anyone else interested?
AM you will have to let us know which mag your lovely room is going to be in so we can all have our claim to fame. " we know her " hee, heee
Am off to eat my flake
