Just placemarking to save this thread :)

Exciting to be in the 3rd trimester. I haven't though about hospital bag at all. Time is going so fast now!

millsbynight · 26/10/2017 18:17

Has anyone’s belly button popped yet? Mine hasn’t popped but it’s pretty s t r e t c h e d ! Almost flush to the skin.

Gross but interesting Grin

Can't believe we're on thread 6 😱

SJ1989 · 26/10/2017 18:29

@millsbynight mine hasn't but where it was pearced had changed colour an it's stretched too

Disinterested · 26/10/2017 18:33

Thanks for the new thread!

So I'm 27 weeks today - does that mean I'm officially in the third trimester?! How exciting :D

Had my bile acid levels checked today and when I phoned to get the result the (rather miserable and rude) midwife told me that my results have come back as normal!! She didn't elaborate but I'll take that this week, the urso is obviously doing it's job! :D

I know I'm not organised enough and I'm starting to panic - I don't really have anything for the baby at all! We move to our new house in 2 weeks so I guess we will stock up then. I just don't know what to buy!

Waitingonasmile · 26/10/2017 19:03

After last time I'm not even thinking about a birth plan, or any sort of plan lol. I only have a few days to go into labour after due date before they'll do a c section anyway.

Sometimes I feel like the end is so close and others I feel like it'll never end!!!

That's great news disinterested. You must be so relieved.

Yeah millsbynight mine has this time!! It's so weird. It didn't last time.

Mrscorr I'm also Scotland. I haven't ordered box yet because midwife forgot to sign the form.

ndo4000 · 26/10/2017 19:31

Re skin-to-skin it’s great not only for breastfeeding and bonding, but also help to regulate baby’s breathing & temperature, as well as the hormone which is released (oxytocin) helping with contractions for the third stage (birthing the placenta) particularly if you haven’t had drugs to assist with that. All in all and very good thing to be doing!!!

StylishDuck · 26/10/2017 20:24

I’m in Scotland but have refused the baby box. Mostly because I don’t agree with the idea but also because there’s nothing in it that we don’t already have (2nd baby). I’d rather it went to someone who needed it more. I get the impression a few of the midwives who I’ve spoken to agree with me (although they haven’t explicitly said of course).

MrsCorr · 26/10/2017 20:33

@stylishduck I felt the same but a friend of a friend recently had a baby & said there were a few things that came in handy. In particular the sling, which I didn’t use with my 1st baby but I might need this time as I’ll have my hands full. My midwife encouraged me to get it so I’ll give it a try.
Where in Scotland are you & @waitingonasmile? I’m just outside Glasgow so will be having my baby in the princess royal.

Waitingonasmile · 26/10/2017 20:50

@MrsCorr I'm also in the Princess Royal Smile. Had DS there too! I actually live in the Outer Hebrides but that is very outing. Have to travel to Glasgow to have baby.

MrsCorr · 26/10/2017 21:11

I had my son there too. Do you have to travel down for appointments? What happens if you go into labour at home?? I’m about a 20 minute drive from the princess royal & that felt like a year last time when I was having contractions & needed pain relief 😂

Waitingonasmile · 26/10/2017 21:22

@MrsCorr Women are advised to leave by 38 weeks at the latest and NHS will pay towards accommodation. With DS I had preeclampsia become severe suddenly so had to be taken away in the helicopter at almost 35 weeks. To bloody Dumfries because Glasgow had no neonatal beds. Later transferred by ambulance to Princess Royal and had DS the next day. Hoping to avoid any drama this time lol.

Apart from consultant appointments I can see midwife here and travel to another island for scans.

MrsCorr · 26/10/2017 21:38

That’s so interesting! The only knowledge I have of this is from Katie Morag lol! Her mum & dad travel to Glasgow to have her wee sister but I didn’t realise how realistic that was. CBeebies is really educational 😂😂 can you tell I have a toddler & can no longer watch anything else?!

millsbynight · 26/10/2017 21:42

Wow @Waitingonasmile how exotic! I love that show The Highland Midwife Smile I imagine your life is like that!

Who else is in London? I’m at Chelsea & Westminster hospital.

Hi all, I've had long time away from the group sorry! I've been on the Facebook group as it's easier to keep up with the various threads of conversation. I'm 30 weeks now and have done absolutely no prep at all. Have another 7 weeks of work and it's only just dawn on me that my plan to sort stuff when I stop work is stupid as it'll be Christmas Confused
ION I had reflexology this week as the nausea never went away and the acid has just got worse and worse. I have to say it seems to have really helped! Much less acid, no nausea for a few days and... my digestions system seems to have woken up again! Really shocking and amazing difference!

Ilikeeyes · 26/10/2017 22:04

Hello everyone! Sorry I'm so late, but am I ok to join the group? I'm due 11th Jan so currently 29 weeks. First baby and gender will be a surprise :)
Have just started a hypnobirthing/pregnancy yoga class, recommended by my cousin who had a smooth labour a few weeks ago. Not usually my cup of tea, but I thought it was brilliant.

Disinterested · 26/10/2017 22:08

Can anyone link me to the Facebook group please? I did ask a couple of threads back but never heard back lol.

Waitingonasmile · 26/10/2017 22:08

@millsbynight I hadn't heard of that! Downloading episodes now.

@MrsCorr Just checked and you are due the day before me lol. Imagine we ended up in at the same time.

MrsCorr · 26/10/2017 22:37

@waitingonasmile How strange would that be lol! We’ll need to do updates on the thread of when we’re going in.

@llikeeyes hi 👋🏻

I would also like to join the Facebook group if someone can post a link here please.

millsbynight · 26/10/2017 22:55

@Fattycowagain are you still here? Some people need linking to the fb group x

OP posts:
AmandaP86x · 27/10/2017 01:13

@MrsCorr @Waitingonasmile oh fellow Scots! I’m glasgow too having baby at Royal Alexandria xxx

AmandaP86x · 27/10/2017 01:15

Also could I be added to fb group pls xxx

Fattycowagain · 27/10/2017 08:28

People who want to join the FB: send me a pm with your email address and I can send you an invite.

Fattycowagain · 27/10/2017 08:43

Also: it has been agreed on FB to not let any new members join once babies start arriving. That will most likely be early December.
Just putting it here, so nobody is disappointed once January is here and they find they cannot join there.
