Hey ladies just had a ?pre hand over? meeting with my bosses. I ended up agreeing to finish everything on my list if I can (what a mug!) but I refused to take on anything new and they seemed happy (because I kept all the actions) hey ho!
Had a really odd evening last night, got home around 8pm after a couple of hours walking around the Christmas Market in Edinburgh with friends and felt knackered and really nauseous, Beanie had been quite quiet all day (though I?d been rushing around like a mad thing) and I was a bit worried so I had a lovely warm lavender bath and sure enough Beanie kicked and I felt better only then to get cramps and feel more nauseous. I just went to bed thinking I was probably overtired and I feel fine today though have just had a very odd sensation which felt a bit like the head going further into my pelvis ? who knows hey!
Sabinar ? its meant to be a good sign of positioning if you waddle back to back babies don?t make you waddle but optimum positioned ones do! Take it as a good sign. I keep wanting to start the massage it means going down to the kitchen and bringing the olive oil back to my bedroom and then positioning myself properly to even begin and somehow, it seems a bit pervy which is crazy, I will do it!!! A cd would be good as I was wondering how I was going to juggle the book, the oil and the ?equipment?.
Jinglebeller ? a bit of DIY might bring the baby on?! You need to prop you bum/legs on cushions to reach to do the massage lying down I think, or else squat? It is a hard balance between relaxing and being active isn?t it? God knows what?s best!
Angel ? LOL at your baby being soothed by flatulence It?s just as well we don?t remember life in the womb isn?t it? I?m not getting a high chair until at least 6 months I don?t think, that?s when I hope to start introducing solids (and will need food protection surfaces!) that NCT sale sounded good. I have borrowed a few snow suits from my sister. She said they were a waste of money for her kids but neither of them were born in the middle of a Scottish winter a friend told me yesterday that I needed to buy socks for Beanie to wear under his/her babygro as their feet get really cold ? damn it, another thing for the list ? I?d assumed that because the suits had feet I didn?t need socks
Madchristmasmouse totally agree, comfort (or as close as you can get!) in labour is a must! Sex life?! Is that something you need to ?do? or were you concerned that the baby clutter around the bed was spoiling it? I?d say I don?t have a sex life right now I don?t remember if I said yesterday but we were advised at the Active Birth workshop to have sex daily from 36 weeks and all the Dads 2 B looked so appalled by the prospect! my Beanie likes Daddy?s voice better too, I tell myself that it?s because he has been able to get much closer to Beanie than I have to date!
Luckystar ? sorry to hear about your disappointment but glad all is fine I get pains in my ear from lying on my left side too long another tip from the Active Birth workshop, put blue tac in the overflow of your bath so you can fill it high and get it over your bump! I was lying on my left in the bath last night to give Beanie the hydro-benefit Sounds like nesting to me!! (do you think that is why I have a burning desire to wash the dining room curtains?!)
Hello Mum2Sam lovely to hear from you again how are you??
AWW thanks Popsy hon rubbing my bump on you and hoping it?s catching! xx
Spackcat ? welcome! bananas and milk are meant to help with the leg cramps.
Hey Susie
PBirdy so great to have you back, I was wondering what happened to you! How have you been? Are you on mat leave yet? I have a week and two days and am counting!! Congratulations on the engagement my baby?s head was 3/5ths engaged last week so hopefully that is a good sign. That?s lovely that you are having a pink one I am still holding out for a surprise, my last scan is next Thurs so hopefully I?ll still be able to hold out!
