September 2020 6 - we are (almost) ready babies!

[ChipsAreLife]

New thread. Crazy to think we will have some babies arrive on this one 🥳🍾

@Piper1879 I can only wear flipflop too now, and having to drive in my birkenstocks 🥴

@flameprincess it's such an uncertain time isnt it. Even though they can come visit as of tuesday, I know our numbers have been edging up very slowly so I'm also worried they will take it away again! Just hoping I manage to have baby in that window before that could happen!

Thank you @ShiningStarz, to be honest I was quite surprised when she offered to do another one yesterday so soon. Are they concerned about infection because of something specifically relating to yourself, or is it that sweeps increase risk of infection generally? To be honest they didnt really give me any information about what it is/the risks etc which I didnt really notice until after when I realised they hadnt actually explained what it was! It's only because I read about it I knew what it was! And I've had horrendous hand pain which gets really bad in the night, it's like my hands fuse closed! I just assumed it will get better once baby is here.

@glasha87 yes I had to shelve the rings weeks ago due to hand swelling! My feet are also constantly swollen and I think it spreads up my legs as my shins seem to hurt as well sometimes which is a bit weird.

@Lilice and yes I can only wear flip flops now too! At least its summer so we can get away with it!

Nursery nearly ready, just need to hang the picture on the wall

.

Looks beautiful @Lilice 😍

I think I've just lost some of my plug 😳

Noticed a tiny bit of blood so have popped a pad on to keep an eye on things. I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow. Haven't told DP because he will FREAK OUT and I'm 99.9% certain it's nothing.

I think I'm going to pack my bag just in case though! Baby better hang on until the carpets are down!

@UrsulaSings im so glad it's not winter as i my fat legs wouldn't fit in anything lol

yes good idea to pack your bags now @LatteLover12
My husband keeps telling me to pack mine lol i told him I'd pack it while in labour (to tease him, just for a laugh) , he wasnt impressed at all 🤣

On it! I've just picked up my new winter boots @Lilice and the zip won't go higher than mid calf! I didn't think I was that swollen 😂😂

Sitting on my ball now. Definitely packing bag!

At least your foot made it inside 🤣@LatteLover12 my son told me i have a baby in my bum 🙄 i didnt realise it was that big 🤣 my leggings are getting tighter and my jeans are definitely too small now. I'll finish the last few weeks in dresses and flip flops, and the sooner the better

@ShiningStarz I had carpal tunnel in my last pregnancy, I saw a physio and she gave me a wrist brace to wear to stop me flexing my wrist so much. Unfortunately since having my son I developed arthritis so have had a sore arm ever since... Until I got pregnant this time and the hormones have temporarily gotten rid of my arthritis 🙈 it's been a rollercoaster haha.

The brace definitely helped at night though, I was waking up with both arms completely numb!

Well it’s d day tomorrow. Lovely 8am start. Wonder what time I’m actually going down! A wonderful mixture of excitement and nerves is currently underway! I will update soon! Hope you all have a good week!

Good luck @Lorna198!

Good luck @Lorna198! Look forward to the update!

Any developments @LatteLover12 or all quiet ?

Eek @Lorna198 good luck!

Well I've had nothing since my little scare earlier but I've packed my bags so at least that's a job done.

I'm off for my spa day tomorrow, I'm going on my own to a fancy hotel for a swim and a massage.

Worried I'll just fall asleep to be honest!

Sorry @MostlyAmbridgeandcoffee we must have x posts! Everything has settled down.

I sat on my ball for a bit & there was definitely some lower back pain but it's tricky to distinguish between just being an achy pregnant woman and actual pains.

I defo have to have a section though so was a bit worried!

Good luck tomorrow @Lorna198 !!

Good luck @Lorna198

Good luck @Lorna198!!

@WillowT so glad I'm not the only one !! It's seems pretty common and will hopefully disappear post birth 🤞

@UrsulaSings the infection risk is just general. Just said one was all they'd offer. I'v been in A&E today as my heart has been racing, they picked up a pregnancy cardiac issue few weeks ago.. I'd say my induction might be brought forward to 39 weeks now. My next appt is wed so we'll see. Just felt so dizzy earlier and like my heart was racing.

@Lilicei love your nursery!! Gorgeous!!

Lol @LatteLover12 flip I'm
In same boat as you!! Baby hang on until bathroom completes lol hope your ok but could be start off your 'show'

Good luck and lots of love n hugs @Lorna198

Good luck @Lorna198!!

@Lorna198 how exciting! Good luck sure it'll be fine!

@lilice your nursery is gorgeous, glad your furniture got sorted in the end!

@Lilice it's a nightmare isn't it !! I've been trying to go swimming. Our pool is good and has only a few slots allowed and it's always empty

Ahh @Lorna198 I'm so excited for you !! I get my date tomorrow ! Good luck and can't wait to hear all about it !
