Phdlife - Welcome!!!

Pesha - sorry to hear you had such a bad night's sleep.

MIABT - was Phil hinting at something???? . I'll probably have no internet connection on Friday cos we're changing providers and I have to change some technical stuff....and DH has probably forgot to tell me half of what I need to do!

SOSPL - glad to hear B had a dry night, yay!

nuttygirl · 21/03/2007 10:53

Sorry CD seemed to miss you off my last post!!! Hope your bean has turned for you and don't worry you're not the only one getting more discharge .

Bramshott - ooooooohhhhh....does this mean I can start putting sheets and things on...I've been so tempted for ages but thinking they'll just get dusty especially as DH is currently doing ( well I say doing...) the cleaning and stuff.

nellyhel · 21/03/2007 10:55

Another new poster... I've been reading Mumsnet for a good few years now - dd is nearly 6 and ds 3 and a half - this is my first post!
Becoming addicted over the past few weeks, especially to the due April threads so thought I should join in properly. Feeling a bit like I am just spying on everyone otherwise!
I'm due 13th and starting to feel like it really might happen soon, nothing specific, just different. Which probably means I'll be late. But it is good to feel the date is getting closer and hopefully this time round I'll be keeping busy with my other two so won't be sitting counting minutes and seconds and waiting for any sign.
Getting v excited to see when first due-April baby arrives - good luck to everyone and symapthies to those who also have trouble sleeping, moving, walking....

Bramshott · 21/03/2007 10:55

CD - it's not just you. Strings of green snot falling out here at every opportunity - most often about 30 seconds after I have been to the loo and tried to wipe really thoroughly!

Eddas · 21/03/2007 11:06

Should I be worried that I have no goo downstairs?

claricebean · 21/03/2007 11:08

Welcome Nellyhel and congratulations on your first post.

nellyhel · 21/03/2007 11:14

CD - don't think I've had this much before either but not sure what's worse, the goo or the need to keep checking it in case there's some sign of it being a show... or is that just me?? gross indeed.

geordiemacminx · 21/03/2007 11:19

Me too.... wearing pantyliner things but as I havent switched to big knickers yet it isnt very practical!!!

Bramshott · 21/03/2007 11:24

Eddas - nope, I'd go for grateful!!

Welcome Nellyhel and apologies that the first time you post, we have you discussing green goo withing minutes!!

Nutty - go on, get the sheets out, you know you want to!! Secretly I think DH is going to be horrified when he comes home! He is so busy at work this week and next that he's living in fear this baby will appear before 1 April!

charNbump · 21/03/2007 11:24

morning all! So it turns out i have an irritable uterus! Been having contractions on and off for nearly 5 days so went hospital last night..........anyway, to cut a long story short it appears this baby could be here literally ANY TIME FROM NOW!! It turns out i have literally run out of room and my uterus is basically trying to kick sporglet out [poor dude ] so fingers crossed guys, my pain could be over sooner rather than later! xxxxxx

Any progress from anyone else? Haven't read the thread at all!

LAST DAY OF WORK TODAY!!!! WOHOO!!!

Bramshott · 21/03/2007 11:25

Have we heard from Mammyjo recently? Surely time to start an unfounded rumour that she must be in labour?!

nuttygirl · 21/03/2007 11:25

Welcome Nellyhel

GMM - @ not needing big knickers...I can't get in my normal knickers!!!!

nuttygirl · 21/03/2007 11:27

Sorry char'n'bump x-posted with you...wow you could be the first!!!!

phdlife · 21/03/2007 11:30

Hello all and thanks for lovely welcome - sorry I got distracted by work and constant search for food. (This business of only needing 200 extra calories/day in 3rd trimester - it's bollocks isn't it?!)

LO is due April 17 though various people keep suggesting it'll be early. One part of me agrees - we haven't got the first thing ready so it would serve me right - but it's a first baby and I'm vastly aged so won't be surprised if they have to drag it out 2 weeks late. Just hoping all the extra calories are going on me rather than on this little wriggler!!

charNbump · 21/03/2007 11:31

nuttygirl - i know! i really hope so, i'm a little fed up now. I have mastitis again BADLY too so am ready to meet my little dude! officially! xx

Oh and i meant sproglet, not sporglet in my earlier post! lol xxxxxxxxx

runnyhabbit · 21/03/2007 11:32

Hi all

Had total meltdown last night I can't remember the last time I cried so much. The most silliest thing triggered it - a pie that was going to take an hour to cook instead of half an hour That set me off first, then the bloody cat sitting on the kitchen worktop again - think I actually said to dh "if the cats don't go, I will" Made dh sandwiches for his lunch today, and a load of stuff fell out of the cupboard, including a bottle of tomato sauce And dh family had been playing on my mind since his mil rang (they're nice enough, just a bit weird, wrote about it on the last thread) Which, tbh, I think was the real reason for the meltdown (well, that, and the lack of sleep)

But dh was wonderful - he said that I had done quite well to get this far without breaking down. (apparently he'd been expecting one for a while) Even managed to make me laugh about most of the stuff. I felt such a relief afterwards, that i think stuff must've been building up for a while, without me realising iykwim.

Had a good nights sleep, and ds is with nana today, so can concentrate on me, and cooking dh birthday dinner.

Right, off to catch up in more detail
x

runnyhabbit · 21/03/2007 11:43

Right - think I've managed to catch up - here goes

phdlife and nellyhel - welcome to the madness

charnbump - how exciting, you could be the first

miabt - glad you had a good time

CD - hope your lo has moved for you

The only snot coming out of me is from my nose , but have had loads more discharge. Even thought my waters had gone at one point and had to check As for knickers, pre-pregnancy, I was a thong girl, but have now moved to the hipster short type things. (Although I do have a stash of big knickers for the comfort days )

The sun is really bright here too, but its sooo cold.

CaptainDippy · 21/03/2007 11:50

Welcome Nellyhel and hello again phdlife - phd - you're not the only one who is rather, erm, behind on preparing anything for this bubba .....

Oh runny - [[hugs]] - I am pretty good at the old "meltdowns" myself - glad that DH was lovely - A useful man - makes a flippin' change on this thread, eh!!?

Need to find out when Easter hols are .....

Mmmmmmmm .......

Any ideas? I'm in Eastbourne, down in the SE!

nuttygirl · 21/03/2007 11:52

Aww RH, so sorry to hear you've been down. I know what u mean about the smallest of things setting it all off. (((hugs))). mils are the best reason not to get married IMO!!!! ( why did no-one tewll me that????)

eca · 21/03/2007 12:00

hi all

runny - poor you. I've been feeling really hormonal and weepy too. Hope you feeling better today.

phdlife & nellyhel - welcome to the madness! Looking forward to sharing all the craziness of labour, birth and babies with you! Phdlife - does your name mean you're doing/got a phd??? That's what I'm (trying, but failing) to do at the moment!

Hello everyone else. have forgotton most stuff, except hello to poor 1b3. Come and moan at us lovely, we don't mind. Hope you or ooogs pops soon. You are definately first in line for the labour vibes.

Oh, and Bramshott - i "put the sheets and blankets out" on the moses basket the other day, but didn't quite have the nerve to actually make it up!! hahahaha!

Last NCT last night. Usual puking all the way home, but it's been well worth it! Can you believe the one who was due last (27th) has gone and had her baby! Very ! It's 7 weeks early, but breathing unaided and a healthy 5lb. Seems there are April babies everywhere, except on here!

geordiemacminx · 21/03/2007 12:00

good friday is the 6th April if thats any help?

On knickers.. just cant seem to get comfortable in big knickers - much to the disgust of my mam who keeps telling me that thongs are inappropriate for mothers!!!

CaptainDippy · 21/03/2007 12:00

Don't worry - no one told me that either, nutty!!

Need to go and start making lunch ......

CaptainDippy · 21/03/2007 12:02

Glad the bubba from your Antenatal class is doing so well eca - 5lb at 33 weeks is pretty good going!

nuttygirl · 21/03/2007 12:03

Right better get ready for mw appointment!!!

CaptainDippy · 21/03/2007 12:04

Geordie - I have some maternity thongs in size 14 still in the packet, completely untouched if you would like them (although the size might not be right!!?) I bought them by mistake. Is that weird. Offering your knickers to someone else!!!!?
