@MegRam I'm getting it in my hands and feet, I'm finding soaking in warm water helps with the joint pain but not so much with the swelling. Apparently the best remedy is to give birth. Sigh...

Flippertyjibbetty · 23/12/2017 15:08

I found that I swell up much more when I drink coffee (incl instant), so stopping that has helped me feel a bit less like mr blobby even if that's still basically what I look like ATM...

I think the skin swells up so that it can stretch out more! And cos we have so much more blood pumping around...

Waitingonasmile · 24/12/2017 01:02

Is anyone else terrified of anything happening over the next few days? I know it's so so unlikely at only 37 +5 but would hate to spend Christmas in hospital.

FirsttimemumJan18 · 24/12/2017 04:21

@waitingonasmile I’m 37+2 & feel exactly the same. I’m just trying to put it to the back of my mind. I was doing some Crimbo shopping in Boots yesterday on my own laden with bags and felt a sudden pain below and was like ‘OMG’ but luckily it didn’t last long. I just need to remember that I am ACTUALLY heavily pregnant and to take it easy Blush Are you ready for Christmas but more importantly is your hospital bag packed?! x

millsbynight · 24/12/2017 07:04

Fanny daggers here too Grin

39 weeks today! Can’t quite believe it. I’ve been getting really strong BH lately and every night I go to bed I think “is this it? My last night before things kick off?!”. Wishful thinking!

What’s everyone up to on Christmas Eve today? DS at his dads over Christmas so DH and I staying at home like hermits locked away from everyone and on red-alert on the off-chance I go in to labour. All I plan to do today (and tomorrow for that matter) is watch Christmas films and eat my weight in Quality Street.

ziggzagg · 24/12/2017 07:13

I've got a poorly baby been up all night with DS (still sounds weird) and tummy pains!! Hoping you all have a restful Christmas and your beautiful bundles arrive safely xxx

Mummyme87 · 24/12/2017 07:49

I’ll be 37weeks tomorrow and hoping everything stays quiet until after new year.

Definitely not taking it easy. And lots of aches and pains. Hopefully will have a restful few weeks from now.

Waitingonasmile · 24/12/2017 08:09

Hospital bag is packed @FirsttimemumJan18 l, but presents not wrapped!!! I think this far from due date I'm safe enough nothing will happen thankfully.

I'll be entertaining toddler the-next few days and avoiding eating since I keep being sick.

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas EveXmas Smile

I had no idea how much BH ramped up these last few weeks. They were every 3 minutes for hours last night and so much pressure. Keep making me run to toilet too. This is definitely making me very scared for actual labour. Xmas Shock

Mummyme87 · 24/12/2017 09:15

No hospital bag packed here either

MegRam · 24/12/2017 11:03

Quiet Christmas here too! DH and I are staying at home, just us - making the most of our last one as a duo. Heading out for lunch too which will be a treat! Hope my waters don't break in the restaurant! 😂

Flippertyjibbetty · 24/12/2017 12:06

Hospital bag packed except for big pants which I still haven't got hold of! Baby should have everything it needs though and think I have everything else...

Feeling bit crampy and nauseous today. Think I'm just symptom spotting in the hope that a Christmas Day baby will get me out of seeing the idiot 'uncle' who I know is going to comment on the size of my bump, my size etc.

Merry xmas eve all!!

Gemxo · 24/12/2017 12:29

Another one here who hasn't yet packed the hospital bag!! Had a terrible night lastnight, baby was kicking me SO hard and moving so much for a good 3 hours straight, it was so painful!! It kinda put me on edge Blush think I should get that hospital bag packed, I know I'm only 35+5 but I've always had a feeling I may go early 👀

StylishDuck · 24/12/2017 12:42

I've had my hospital bag packed for a couple of weeks. I actually bought Tena pants instead of big pants this time round. Apparently they're great for giving that little bit extra reassurance if you slap a maternity pad in them too.

Also - top tip - remember to pack dry shampoo. That was the the one thing I forgot last time and it was 3 days before I felt up to having a shower. My hair normally gets washed every day so it was an absolute riot!

StylishDuck · 24/12/2017 12:44

Is anyone else planning to have a wee drink tomorrow?

I've not had a single drink for the whole pregnancy but considering a glass of champagne or prosecco tomorrow. At 38+5 I doubt it's going to do any harm!

Gemxo · 24/12/2017 13:13

I'll be having a glass of Buck's Fizz @StylishDuck I've not touched a drop either my whole pregnancy so I can't see the one doing any harm & it is Christmas! Xmas Grin

Flippertyjibbetty · 24/12/2017 13:24

I think you're perfectly safe to have a glass of fizz- you've earned it :)

Just drink it slowly and savour it as not having had anything for a while it will probably go to your head quite quickly!!

katmarie · 24/12/2017 13:47

36+4 and being watched like a hawk for signs of labour by my dp and sil. I feel fine though the baby has dropped quite a bit. Today dp is cooking us a Christmas Eve goose for dinner which I'm really looking forward to, and I'm going to have a bit of a tidy round, knit a hat and eat chocolate. Tomorrow we're off to my parents for lunch so will hopefully be putting my feet up and enjoying having a fuss made of me. I might have a small glass of wine with lunch, and then enjoy an afternoon nap! Sounds like heaven! 37 weeks the day after Boxing Day, is my target, as it means I can give birth in the mlu. But I think it will be some time after new year. Mum thinks another 3-4 weeks which seems forever!

ForumUsername · 24/12/2017 14:06

@Flippertyjibbetty I'm nauseous and a bit crampy today too

We've a lot of family from DH side coming and going over the next couple of days
MIL is doing everything which is great but honestly the idea of being nice and carrying conversations has me exhausted already
Plus some of the kids can be very demanding (really hope ours is a good one! 🤣)

Mummyme87 · 24/12/2017 14:43

I’ve packed dry shampoo aswell, although I was in the shower washing my hair 8hours post CS last time 👍

Flippertyjibbetty · 24/12/2017 15:00

Oh god DH's MIL and friend just turned up early and without warning and I was all sweaty from making beds and struggled to get down the stairs- I don't have time to let them in and make cups of tea etc so I just said I'm not ready for you and sent them to the pub to have a drink and locked the door.

I was so rude!!!! But I was mortified at opening the door in cleaning clothes and with stuff still strewn about the house! What have I done...

Waitingonasmile · 24/12/2017 18:23

Awww @Flippertyjibbetty your reaction is totally understandable!! I hope they haven't been too horrible about it.Thanks

Flippertyjibbetty · 24/12/2017 19:16

Waiting- amazingly not! Thanks :)

How are you feeling?

cheshiremama89 · 24/12/2017 19:16

Had an "open house" today.
Part of DH's tradition, I honestly don't know how I've done it.
So many uncle nob heads and "you've put on weight" "are you having twins" "as IF you still have 4 weeks" Sad

Flippertyjibbetty · 24/12/2017 19:19

Cheshire- urgh thats awful! I'm just waiting for that kind of comment but I more expect to hear it second hand (so and so was saying how big you are etc etc).

What gives people the right to comment on your size! Only your midwife and then only for actual medical reasons. Grr on your behalf - and a Brew

Waitingonasmile · 24/12/2017 19:26

@cheshiremama89 that's awful!!!! People are so bloody rude!!!

I managed to eat this afternoon but being sick again now. Missing out on all the lovely Christmas food. Envy

Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas tomorrow and all the babies stay put until after dinner. Wink
