Feels so good to have finished work! Although I was a bit of an emotional mess when I got home yesterday. It just hit me I wasn't going back for a year and how much my life is about to change! Feeling good today though and have got tons done already definitely in nesting stage!

@Owl1011 happy last day of work for you today! 😀

@WLMcI looks like our babies might share a birthday I'm in on the 27th to be induced but doubt she'll arrive till the 28th.

@Waitingonasmile sorry your still sick, how many days have you had tummy bug for now?

EekThreek · 22/12/2017 12:56

@reetgood I remember with DS going up for monitoring at 38 weeks for reduced movements - hooked up to the monitor for 30mins, MW comes in and says 'oh, contractions!' 😱😱😱

He was born at 40+5 😒 I think my body was just warming up!

Last day at work today - hour and a half to go! Eep!

Gemxo · 22/12/2017 14:26

Well wrapping Christmas presents was a challenge!! Kept getting cramp and baby was kicking me constantly to stop leaning over on him 🙈 after I finished wrapping I had to run the toilet to throw up!! Sad oh the joys

Mummyme87 · 22/12/2017 15:00

The present wrapping is quite the challenge. Still have all of DS presents to wrap, my sister, my Mam & her husband, my dad & his wife, both sets of grandparents. Luckily some of those things or small or in hamper boxes.

Lots of braxton hicks today. It did shut me up for a bit as never had them with DS and they were every 5mins. 36+4 today and too much to do still!!!

Waitingonasmile · 22/12/2017 17:49

Hospital bag is now packed!!! 

@Maybebaby2 Not long only two days!

EekThreek · 22/12/2017 18:12

Present wrapping is shocking at the moment! Trying to do DS's birthday stuff with DD's help - not going well 😫

katmarie · 22/12/2017 19:35

Present wrapping was done a couple of weeks ago thank goodness but I did spend an hour today trying to put the covers back on our pram. I got it second hand on eBay so it needed a wash. Getting the covers off was a doddle, putting them back on was like a challenge from the crystal maze, even with the instructions. Getting back up off the floor after was even trickier! Still it's done now, and ready to go :)

Also my super amazing other half has just presented me with a new toy, a double breast pump which is amazing, which he apparently bought as a gift but didn't think it was really suitable as a Christmas gift, bless him! I'm planning on spending my evening getting to grips with it so I'm well practiced at setting it up :) This is my life now, lol!!!!

millsbynight · 22/12/2017 19:46

Just got home from Christmas shopping on Oxford Street. Good Lord why did I do that to myself?! So busy!

Yes to Christmas wrapping being a nightmare! I’ve resorted to wrapping everything on the changing table of all things because it’s a good height and sturdy. Can’t stand thinking I’m squashing the baby as I try to lean over bump when wrapping on the floor.

StylishDuck · 22/12/2017 20:14

I've not checked in in ages! Congratulations to those of you who have had your little bundles already!

I'm still waddling along. 12 days to go! Just willing myself through Christmas Day (DD understands Christmas for the first time this year and I really don't want to miss it!) then I'll be willing baby out. I'm so fucking uncomfortable!

Was at the midwife on Monday and she declared it to be a big baby Shock

Waitingonasmile · 22/12/2017 20:38

@millsbynight I can't believe you survived that.  ! I barely coped with a trip round Asda.

Ahhh that's not long @StylishDuck so exciting!!! I have a maximum of 17 days left and baby will definitely be here.

Flippertyjibbetty · 22/12/2017 22:19

Just had sharp pains in groin that completely floored me and I could not move. Any idea what that is/ anyone else had that?!

Came and went after a few mins. Felt much sharper than just baby kicking in bladder! Though I think she is quite far down now...

My ability to (not) handle that pain is not a good sign...!!

ForumUsername · 22/12/2017 22:56

Today was my last day in work with a full team, in for half days next Thurs & Fri before finishing officially
I got a card and a gift voucher for the beautician I go to
Very emotional!! It's feeling very real now
Especially since all the baby stuff arrived this week and I've a crib beside the bed!

Even though I've been sorted for Christmas a couple of weeks (wrapping and all) I've been in the city loads this and last week
My poor feet have had enough

I hope to do very little now till Baby makes an appearance last Jan
Loads of Netflix and feet's up

StylishDuck · 22/12/2017 22:59

Flipperty was it fanny daggers?? I've been getting them on and off since about 20 weeks. Takes your breath away!

ForumUsername · 22/12/2017 23:00

@Flippertyjibbetty I've had a couple of sharp pains low down too
Had them earlier in the pregnancy too and think they were called fanny daggers 🤣

Also started to get pains like when my period is about to start in my low back and tummy
They've come randomly over the past week day & night.

Flippertyjibbetty · 22/12/2017 23:07

@ForumUsername fanny daggers! Haha...

You've reminded me of a convo we had while driving and trying to come up with a birth play list...

I'm coming out (diana Ross)
Happy birthday (stevie wonder)
Then I mentioned Ring of Fire johnny cash, which my DH didn't understand.

I had to explain it's because when the baby is crowning it feels like a Chinese burn in your foo foo... or ring of Fire!

Disinterested · 22/12/2017 23:11

Hi all!

Got my induction date booked for bang on 37 weeks- 4th of January at 8am. My god I'm excited. Christmas can do one!

Hope you're all well.

EekThreek · 22/12/2017 23:22

Fanny daggers! Yes!! All the way round Tesco tonight trying to do my food shopping for the apocalypse Christmas.

DS has chosen pancakes for his birthday breakfast tomorrow, which is exactly what I want to make at 8am 😫

Me and DH have just finished building the ikea play kitchen and there are balloons all over the living room floor. I'm completely done in - hurting all over, heartburn that might actually come through my chest. I'm giving up and going to bed!

EekThreek · 22/12/2017 23:23

@Flippertyjibbetty I'm crying at Ring of Fire 😂😂😂

Flippertyjibbetty · 22/12/2017 23:30

Omg that can't have been comfortable @EekThreek! Felt stupid enough waddling myself around the shops today and trying to dodge trollies without being doubled over in pain!

Can you prep as much as possible tonight before bed so in the morning you don't have to weigh out the flour etc? Still quite a ball ache but I'm sure your DS will love his pancakes! So sweet (no pun intended).

EekThreek · 22/12/2017 23:44

I know, it was nice to have the trolley to hang onto but im never going to miss out on a click and collect slot before Christmas ever again!

I'll just sort it in the morning now, I think he's going to have a restless night and I'm already up 2 hours later than normal! I'll just deal with the chaos tomorrow ! 😁

Flippertyjibbetty · 23/12/2017 00:11

Ah fair point- hope you have a decent nights sleep 😴

@Disinterested, you're being induced on my due date. Not far off now! Must be great to have a specific date to focus on :)

@stylishduck- just saw your message. How have you survived since 20w! Xmas Shock does anything help or just waiting for it to pass?

Women really are made of tough stuff flexes muscles

StylishDuck · 23/12/2017 00:17

It's only been fleeting thankfully. Few sharp stabbing pains then it's over. Bit inconvenient the time it happened when I was in a meeting in work and trying to present something at the whiteboard Blush

katmarie · 23/12/2017 07:04

Insomnia strikes again... I've been awake since 2am with pain in my hips and pelvis, as well as swollen hands and general discomfort. My DP suggested we make the most of it though so we've just got back from Tesco's! Yay 24 hour shopping! It was so quiet in there and all the shelves were fully stocked, fresh bread coming out, wonderful. need sleep now though but I have 8 Xmas cakes to ice today so it's not looking likely!

Owl1011 · 23/12/2017 08:41

@katmarie wow that's a very good use of pregnancy insomnia and so much better to go when it's quiet! Luckily we don't need to get anything in for Christmas as we're out visiting every day now until next week. I did brave Tesco at 7:30pm last night to get bread, milk and bacon for Christmas morning and it's safe to say that people can be vile when they are Christmas supermarket shopping! The amount of people who bashed my pregnant backside with their trolleys was unreal! Good luck with the cake icing!

MegRam · 23/12/2017 12:35

I'm on the fanny daggers train too! What a joy! I guess it's all just prep for what's to come Wink

Anyone else suffering badly with oedema? I am unbelievably swollen from the lower belly downwards - no other symptoms so apparently 'normal' but it's like I've been inflated and my legs are sausages! I have no knees and can't bend my ankles to go up and down the stairs! It's so sore and uncomfortable, and I have never felt less attractive in all my life. Poor DH Confused
