OMG - can't believe Inzi has gone in, hope all is well. Will be thinking of her tonight.
Im due on the 23rd October and seem to have absolutely nothing prepared - well, I bought my pram but that is literally it apart from a few bits and bobs work got me when I left! Haven't even thought of a hospital bag and I'm sure I had that packed this sort of time last pg. Can't help but feel totally totally underprepared.
alicet - I have a consultants appointment on Monday so will mention the painful scar area and sore kicking to her. Hope they don't cart me off to the delivery suite again, don't think my nerves could take it!
MrsFish- sorry to hear you've been having a tough time with your DH away. My toddler is exhausting at the moment (and I get plenty of help ) so my heart goes out to you.
Everyone else, take care... x

thanks HM and Winnie, have mailed you both.

it keeps coming and going with me, and trying hard not to have to go in as dd is in bed, but i didn't want to be running out of the door with no way of letting you all know what was happening with me and about inzi too!

Congrats Dal and gd luck inzi. I have been cramping on and off for a few days so hope that things might be preparing for an early birth. Although when checked yesterday at hospital they said my cervix is still far back, long and closed, so not much can be happening as yet.

WinnieThePooh · 07/09/2007 20:56

Have emailed you back with my number J2O.

WinnieThePooh · 07/09/2007 20:59

Hi Jersey,

Have you got a buddy to text if you do need to go in. If not email me on the addy below and I will let you have my mobile number.

WinnieThePooh · 07/09/2007 21:05

Take care J20. I hope you have a good night's sleep.

I am off to bed soon too.

HonorMatopoeia · 07/09/2007 21:07

Arggh, am I supposed to have a buddy? I have been away for too long and missed too much!

FloriaTosca · 07/09/2007 21:08

Hi All
Tried to post this this am but having computer probs;

Buffy was admitted last night..NOT in labour but with severe pain on the top right of her bump..she is being scanned for gallstones (I do hope that it isn't them for her, I had them 5 yrs ago and the pain is terrible)she doesnt know if they will cs her and operate or wait untill LO comes naturally first...
I'll let you know when I hear more.

Congratulations Dal!

And good luck Inzi...I hope everything stays ok.

alicet · 07/09/2007 21:09

J20 hope all OK with you. More than happy to exchange details with anyone else too - my email address is alicetownend @ doctors dot org dot uk. Feel free to get in touch - also anyone else without a bump buddy more than appy to exchange details.

OMG this is all making it seem much more real! Can't believe I will have a baby soon! Must pack my bag this weekend!

HMP - good luck at consultant appt on Monday. Mine is on Tues to book my setion date (assuming I don't change my mind AGAIN this weekend).

Take care everyone....

alicet · 07/09/2007 21:10

Cross posted Floria - hope all is OK with you and buffy too... Will you let her know I am thinking of her?

alicet · 07/09/2007 21:11

Ladies given the recent arrival / impending arrival of lo's I think the next thread we start once this one is full should be on the postnatal boards - what do you think?

WinnieThePooh · 07/09/2007 21:13

FT -Thanks for the update on Buffy. Hopefully it is not gallstones and she is ok.

HM - I have emailed you my mobile number.

ChocolateHobnob · 07/09/2007 21:18

Oh my God!

Congratulations Dal!

And best of luck Inzi, if anyone texts her, I'm thinking of her. She's due 2 days before me and I've been in the habit of thinking my due date is ages away...scary stuff! Need to actually buy stuff for a hospital bag.

Good luck tio Buffy too - sounds horrible!

Have read all the posts and promptly forgotten most of them - in tired mode. Good news is DH had an interview for a new job yesterday - same place, but a sizeable promotion - and got it. Hurrah! We've been out to celebrate although note we're home already (at 9.20...) because I'm no good at late nights these days.

Anyway hope you're all okay and specially Inzi and Buffy!

HonorMatopoeia · 07/09/2007 21:19

Ouch, poor buffy, will be thinking of her too.
Gosh, its all happening isn't it?
Thank you WTP, have mailed you back. I feel better knowing that people will know I've not just fallen off the face of the planet again!

WinnieThePooh · 07/09/2007 21:23

HMP - have emailed you back.

alicet · 07/09/2007 21:24

Chochobnob congrats to your dh on the promotion! Great news and very timely with lo on the way!!! Hope you had a lovely night out to celebrate.

HonorMatopoeia · 07/09/2007 21:29

Thank you WTP
Choc - Brilliant news on the promotion, glad you got out to celebrate but know what you mean about the late nights!
Right, I'm off to bed. Think Dd has finally quietened down so may get to sleep without her tonight!
Will be leaving my mobile on just incase anything happens to anyone .
Sleep tight ladies!

WinnieThePooh · 07/09/2007 21:36

NIght HMP.

Chochobnob- congratulations to your hubby.

If no -one else needs my number I am off to bed now. Was up at 4.40 this morning and FIL is coming round at 9am to help DP with the wardrobes in my dressing room so I need to try and get some sleep.

Night all.
