Last full day of work for me too @Waitingonasmile ! Just took DS out for McDonalds Blush more for my gain than his. Really needed to treat myself big time just because I’m so happy to be done with work!!! My role is being split between two of my colleagues rather than employing mat cover so it’s made my handover quite easy. Just have to go in tomorrow for my last official day but all I’m doing is being taken out to lunch by my team.

I’m so so so tired and soooo ready for mat leave! It was a really stupid idea to push myself as close to 37 weeks as I could and I’m a bit resentful about it all but I’m finally done! Can’t believe just over 3 weeks and my due date is here!

hodgeheg92 · 07/12/2017 22:26

So jealous of all of you ladies starting mat leave! I'm a teacher so trying to push it to the end of term, then if I don't give birth during the Xmas holiday I get paid for those two weeks as normal. I'll be 37+3 by the 22nd when we break up though!

Is anyone else just fed up of being so bloody uncomfortable? I can't wait to just be comfy again.

Fredthefrog · 08/12/2017 06:23

I'm trying for the same @hodgeheg. Just so tired and have observation on Monday. Why? What's the point? Money will come in handy though. How long are you taking off. ?

MegRam · 08/12/2017 07:19

I'm with you @hodgeheg92 - so uncomfortable now. Can't wait to be able to roll over without planning a strategy. The things you take for granted!

I'm working to 37weeks - next Friday. The end is in sight! xx

Mummyme87 · 08/12/2017 08:07

The end is in sight. My last shift is tomorrow then I’m on annual leave for a week and mat leave kicks in 18th December at 36weeks.
Really flagging now. And today woken up with a stinking cold

MummyM33 · 08/12/2017 08:16

Today is my last day! I'm 37 weeks and so ready for it! Taking 3 weeks annual leave before my Mat leaves starts 2 days before due date!
I've got a stinking cold too, was worrying about going into labour feeling like this but some one told me it's really unlikely I'll do so whilst I have a cold as your body knows your not ready, is this true or an olds wives tale?!

millsbynight · 08/12/2017 09:07

Yes @hodgeheg92 I’m so fed up and sore. Really looking forward to being able to sleep on my tummy again!

@ElleMcElle thanks will check out primary next week when I'm in town

@MummyM33 I think that's true. From reading and the GentleBirth workshop I went to baby is the one who decides when it's time
They feel if you are under the weather, stressed or nervous and won't come if it doesn't feel safe (goes back to cave man times apparently)
Obviously there can be other factors but it seems the more relaxed and content you are the better chance labour will start.

I have another 3 weeks till I finish work. But that last week is just two days so isn't bad
I'm not finding it too bad yet (34 weeks) but I am more tired
Work has been great, I've been able to reduced my hours a bit. Although we are VERY busy so think I'm probably doing the same amount of work just in less time
Can't believe due date is 6 weeks away
I should have had baby in less than two months time!!

Waitingonasmile · 08/12/2017 09:37

First day of maternity leave began with screaming 2 year old not wanting clothes or a nappy on. 30 minutes of screaming and snot. Now the screaming has started again because I said "uhhuh" rather than "what" when he said "Mum". Confused. Just get me back to work. Sad

Maybebaby2 · 08/12/2017 16:56

2 more weeks in work for me can't wait to finish I'm exausted. I'll be 37 weeks when I finish and will be induced the week after.

Got my date this week, I go in on the 27th Dec, they keep me in for 24 hours with the pessery and if that doesn't work they'll induce me on the 28th. Exactly 3 weeks today! At least I'll have a week off work and Christmas before I go in!

Maybebaby2 · 08/12/2017 17:05

3 weeks yesterday that should be.... creeping up quicker than I thought!

Mummyme87 · 08/12/2017 20:00

maybe if you’re having the pessary on 27th you are being induced on 27th.. that is the induction.

ziggzagg · 08/12/2017 21:49

That's it!! I'm officially on Maternity Leave!! Being induced a week Tuesday so really looking forward to just chilling out for a little while before my little bundle arrives!!

Maybebaby2 · 08/12/2017 22:39

@Mummyme87 the way the doctor explained it was that they try the pessery first and leave it for 24 hours but that it might not work in which case they induce me with the drip the next day which definitely will work. I guess I could have her with just the pessery but he made it sound unlikely. Either way I know I go in on the 27th and won't leave till baby has arrived 😀

hodgeheg92 · 09/12/2017 07:27

@fredthefrog they keep doing book scrutinies and "learning walks" and giving me feedback from them Grin I just smile and nod, I think they actually expect me to act on it Hmm

Sorry to hear others are uncomfortable too but also glad I'm not alone and it's not just my body that is clearly fed up with being pregnant. Someone asked me if I've had any cravings yesterday and I said "Yes, sleep and comfort!"

Usernamegone · 09/12/2017 09:08

I’m officially on mat leave now - hurrah! Had a shocking nights sleep and legs and feet are still swollen. Attempting to have a bath and then hopefully I can have a some sleep!

millsbynight · 09/12/2017 09:42

Can’t believe I’m fully cooked tomorrow! Definitely don’t remember being so small for 37 weeks/term last time.

I’ll join in the chorus of those finally on mat leave! Yesterday was my last day and when I got home after lunch I had a nap. Bliss!

January babies #6 - waddling in to the 3rd trimester!

Ruthcarr1990 · 09/12/2017 17:38

Anyone now any info on strep b? Went in on wed due to pains they did an internal and swabs and rang me earlier in to say I had strep b. That’s it no info what so ever.

If anyone’s got any info I would really appreciate it as don’t want to google it xxx

ElleMcElle · 09/12/2017 20:03

@Ruthcarr1990 - No expert, but I did some research on this after seeing a campaign to get all pregnant women routinely tested on the NHS. My understanding is that it's pretty common and you'll just be given some antibiotics during labour to protect the baby. Again - must stress I'm not an expert, but I think you're lucky you got tested, as once you know you have it, you can protect the baby (which is why it's a bit mad that all women are not tested - in many other countries, they are tested as standard). I reckon you're safe to google without terrifying yourself - it's nothing awful! If anyone wants to get tested, you can buy kits online for about £35 to test at home and send away in the post. Best to do after 35 weeks. Ordered mine this week from a company called Strepelle and planning to test and send back after the weekend. This site seems like a good source of info - gbss.org.uk

ElleMcElle · 09/12/2017 20:05

What does everyone reckon baby needs to wear outside when it's this cold? Would vest plus sleep suit plus pram suit be enough? Or vest plus sleep suit plus jumper plus pram suit?

Usernamegone · 09/12/2017 22:31

Does anyone else’s baby feel so low like it’s going to fall out of their fanjo when they walk!

ziggzagg · 10/12/2017 07:29

@Usernamegone yes me!! Also, had constant back ache since yesterday so feeling scared to move my lower body!!Wink

millsbynight · 10/12/2017 08:20

@ElleMcElle it’s quite cosy in a pram suit but depends on the tog of it as pram suits vary so maybe they don’t need another layer but I’d bring a cardigan out just in case you can see or feel they’re not warm enough. We ended up getting a little snow suit so she’ll definitely be toasty enough!

@Usernamegone no I’m still feeling her quite high kicking up in to my ribs and no pressure in pelvis at all so thinking she’s not bothered about coming any time soon. I am suffering with lower back pain like @ziggzagg too though!

It’s snowing in London! I’m so excited! It hasn’t snowed in London for years - well not on the Zone 1/2 border anyway!

OP posts:
Maybebaby2 · 10/12/2017 11:52

@Usernamegone I'm feeling a lot of pressure down below too and a couple of people have commented that my bump has 'dropped'. But I'm not feeling any relief from heartburn or breathlessness which I thought was meant to happen when baby engages?

ElleMcElle · 10/12/2017 14:38

@Usernamegone -have been feeling pressure like that for weeks (particularly when going from sitting or lying to standing up) and don't think baby is engaged yet... Very strange feeling!
