I like cooper, Luca or Blake!!

Emily is a beautiful name xx

WLMcI · 12/11/2017 23:26

@millsbynight my niece is Emma and her half sister is Olivia, so you're in good company there 😁 There's also Emmeline, if you wanted something slightly different but similar to Emily (you could shorten it to Emmie or Millie if you wanted). There's a song called Emmeline that happened to be on the radio tonight and I actually thought"oh that's a nice name"at the time (although it's not a happy song in the end tbf )!

Waitingonasmile · 13/11/2017 10:01

4 weeks left of work and 8 weeks tomorrow until due date! Shock Definitely feels like the end is in sight!

Can't believe some of us are due next month. Doesn't seem like that long ago we were getting 12 week scans.

ForumUsername · 13/11/2017 11:08

@Waitingonasmile I know

I can’t believe I’m less than 10 weeks till due date
Only 7 weeks left in work TG
I’m finding work very draining, not physically but mentally.
It’s like I’ve way to much going on in my head with baby and house and the work is very busy constantly too.

I’m doing a little bit of mindfulness and trying to switch off but as soon as I walk into work there is a million things that need my attention.

Really cannot wait for the few weeks maternity leave before baby arrives.

SJ1989 · 13/11/2017 11:33

@Waitingonasmile It's crazy how quick it's gone isn't it! I've now officially got less than 7 weeks till due date!

Mummyme87 · 13/11/2017 12:04

31weeks today, 4weeks of work left, 10 shifts. Last shift is 9th December 🎉 still feels like a lifetime, and with Christmas looming I am feeling overwhelmed!
Struggling with SPD big time, restless, shortness of breath.. totally living the dream with my 3yo

hanna87 · 13/11/2017 12:09

Hey everyone! 33 weeks tomorrow eeek!ShockConfused annual leave from 8th December and then mat leave from due date! Time is flying-thank goodness work as way too exhausting!

Also started panicking about going into labor..
Has anyone thought about going to a birthing centre over the labor ward? Am totally confused 🤷‍♀️ as to what I should book into..if labour is a fraction of the pelvic girdle and back pain to date then what if i want a last minute epidural (birth centre doesn’t give this)!

Also anyone packing a few baby milk 🍼 packs in their bags just incase theres a problem with bf or you get rushed to theatre for something?! If so what make of milk are you thinking..?

Silly questions I know but cant seem to think straight!

SJ1989 · 13/11/2017 12:53

@hanna87 I'm taking some just as a precaution! I want to use aldis mamia formula if I end up having to formula feed but can't find that they do premade bottles, my mum went out an got some of the cow and gate the other day trying to be helpful so I may just take that as I'm determined to breastfeed where possible.

hanna87 · 13/11/2017 13:01

@SJ1989 i keep coming across posts online saying aptamil and cow & gate are exactly the same! Though haven’t got round to investigating when out!

Haven’t seen anything pre-made in our Aldi either!

SJ1989 · 13/11/2017 13:32

@hanna87 I've heard aptamil is the same as aldi as apparently the factory address is the same so I'll be happy if cow and gate is too! I still need to buy a few bottles for if I can't BF as the premade milks no good without bottles really is it haha but there's so many different one I keep putting it off!

Waitingonasmile · 13/11/2017 16:12

I'm hoping to breastfeed but going to take formula too just so there's no pressure. These little bottles are great when babies tiny any doesn't drink much. Plus no need to sterilise anything. This is what they gave out at the hospital when I had DS 1 but they had a variety of brands.

January babies #6 - waddling in to the 3rd trimester!
SJ1989 · 13/11/2017 16:34

@Waitingonasmile I was hoping to get the ones that come in the bottles ready like that but the ones my mum picked up are just in normal cartons so would need to be put into bottles!

Mummyme87 · 13/11/2017 16:42

Not planning on taking any formula or having any at home. Will do colostrum harvesting to utilise if some issues with feeding

millsbynight · 13/11/2017 16:58

I’m not going to bother packing bottles or formula in my hospital bag. If I have problem or if baby is having troubles feeding then the hospital should provide formula. Well I think they still do anyway!

Hotpinkangel19 · 13/11/2017 18:11

3 weeks until maternity leave.... not counting down or anything but my hips are so painful ☹️ I guess I should pack my hospital bag too.... just seems too early!!!!

ChocoMunchi · 13/11/2017 18:43

I finish for AL/ML this Friday (apart from a couple of meetings I have to go to next week) I absolutely can not wait Smile

I’m not planning on taking any bottles or formula milk to the hospital either never have with any of my other 3 children although that was many years ago and things may have changed.

Anyone else not know who is who between the FB group and this group?

SJ1989 · 13/11/2017 19:02

@ChocoMunchi me! Some people I can guess by clues in their user name or things they post but most people I don't have a clue haha

Mummyme87 · 13/11/2017 19:39

I’m not on the FB group so count me out of your guesses 😂

Waitingonasmile · 13/11/2017 19:45

Also not on FB!

I'm really worried about whether I'll be able to breastfeed this time. I got a shock last time at how difficult it was to get DS to latch on properly. Then he was tiny and lost so much weight he had to have formula top ups in hospital. I mostly pumped last time and gave up at about 3 months.

ziggzagg · 13/11/2017 20:41

I go on maternity 3 weeks on Friday and possibly only 4/5 weeks until I get induced because of my GD and Baby measuring big! Suppose I should be in the December babies thread because I’ve been advised I will definitely get a son for Christmas!!Grin

ElleMcElle · 13/11/2017 21:26

@Mummyme87 - Also hoping to harvest colostrum to take in case I'm separated from baby or we have difficultly getting BF established. Have you come across any good resources that show you how to do this? Have looked at a few things and bought some syringes to collect however many drops I manage to get (will then freeze them), but as this is my first baby, it all seems a bit alien!

SJ1989 · 13/11/2017 21:50

@ElleMcElle I'm hoping to do the same, did you just get normal syringes?

ChocoMunchi · 13/11/2017 21:51

@ziggzagg me 2, I have an appointment with GD consultant and a growth scan on Wednesday. I’m expecting that sometime soon they will talk induction dates. They said definitely a week early which would be NYE but I’m suspecting it will likely be before then.

@SJ1989 I don’t suppose it matters but I just think I could be chatting to some on FB and not know I’m talking to the same person or not on here! Like I’m not confused enough with my baby brain 😂

Mummyme87 · 13/11/2017 22:01

elleMcelle not sure about resources for hand expressing, probably la leche league and kellymom. I’m a midwife so can hand express without thinking about it 😝 use 1ml syringes and get some bungs for them, label and put in a sandwich bag or Tupperware box in the freezer

SJ1989 · 13/11/2017 22:14

@ChocoMunchi yea I know what you mean i always look for little clues but it doesn't always work haha

@Mummyme87 thanks for the advise on the syringes I'll pick some up :)
