Hey ladies sounds like a very interesting few days on here ? lots of rumbling volcanoes ? I don?t think it?ll be long before Theo has a friend do you? All fine with me, very tired after a hectic but good weekend and I only have 3 more days of work after this one ? anyone else finishing up this week? Managed to stay up until 2am on Sat night at my MIL?s surprise 60th at our house! [shookk] I paid for it yesterday but it was a good night and she had a ball so that?s the important thing!!
Sabinar ? glad to hear you are on the mend I have finished all classes now too which technically means I am meant to be prepared scary! I have ordered an Elle TENS, I figured that as I?d like more babies (ask me after the birth again!) it would be handy to have my own. It?s not arrived yet though (I got it on Amazon). I need to get some extra pads for it but have heard they are a good price at Mothercare. I have tried that Bach?s Rescue Remedy for stress in the past and I don?t think it helped me so am not a believer I know what you mean about those BF tops, I prefer the wrap around ones I think (have a look on eBay at the online shops) must get a couple.
Gingeme ? loving the festive name! your room sounds lovely, very relaxing place to be! Good point about the curry and what else it might bring on besides labour I?m really off curry at the moment anyway! I have bought some arnica cream but have subsequently heard (on here!) that the tablets work better. I am going to try and get those, the raspberry leaf tea, the lavender oil and clary sage and a room spray at Neal?s Yard this afternoon. I was advised that tea bagged raspberry leaf isn?t any good ? it has to be fresher than that to have any effect. I?ve ordered 2 nursing bras ? I thought I?d wait and see what happens size wise before getting any more. how annoying about the sheets ? I get cross when people borrow things and don?t give them back
Beller ? hope Babybel has re-assured you, my Beanie has quiet days too and I get worried. I guess maybe they only have room to wriggle now! I?m going to buy some clary sage today I noticed that DH?s Radox muscle bath has clary sage in it too. Glad to hear you got peace of mind at the hospital how was the dinner dance? 1am was a good effort!!
Fluffy ? wow! That does sound big hon, let?s hope your baby runs out of room and comes early! I am having a growth scan on Thursday so hoping for good but normal progress Last time (34weeks) we were on the 50th percentile (4lb6) but I was never going to have a huge baby with my condition (though people love to tell me that from looking at me the baby is going to be massive ? with no grounds at all as like you, my fundal height is less than my weeks!! )
Susie ? thanks for your message hon, I know you are right! My MIL actually felt a little kicking foot on her birthday so she was so excited! Change of bump shape with contractions sounds very interesting! I was thinking the same about the carry cot. I have a bugaboo and didn?t realise that I couldn?t use the footmuff in the carry cot but there is nothing to stop me from putting the baby down on it in its snowsuit to make it more comfy I guess. I?ve heard about the tea tree oil too ? I already have some, great for preventing ingrowing hairs from waxing!
Lulubump ? poor you, those nerve tests sound awful I?m going to test my TENS machine out in advance (yoga woman last week advised that from 38 weeks) to see how I like it. I had acute rheumatioid arthritis during an illness a few years ago and the nerve pain was unbearable so I understand that awful feeling.
Sideways ? of course we noticed that you weren?t here!!!!!! Why have you been hiding? how are you?
Fruitful ? been thinking about you a lot hon and wishing you and Theo well great that he is now breathing unaided sorry about all the staples are you ok? In a lot of pain? How beautiful is Theo? I am so impressed you are feeding him yourself
Lilyloo ? how are you feeling?
Lolo ? yeah! You are on mat leave I have 4 more days including today (though about 10 days worth of work to do so why am I on here instead of doing my work????) you mat hospital sounds fab ? fingers crossed you get the birth you want!!
Awen ? My DH isn?t on for any nookie either thanks for the link to the I am pregnant website ? it was interesting! Really sounds like it won?t be long for you with all the energy, nesting and painful contractions! I finally gave in and washed the dining room curtains yesterday ? feel better now I was woken in the night by painful tightenings but nothing major.
Luckystar ? hello!
Hey Mixedmama we are missing your regular posts take care hon x
Nicky6 ? oh no! how are you going to manage that trial hon?? What if you have the baby before then? Happy birthday for tomorrow!! please take care x
MrsB ? are you still in your PJs?! just cos you can!
Amani ? hello!
Toomanyshoes ? glad the sweep went as well as it could ? exciting times! hope it gets things started hon!
KT ? all info on the babies is useful on the list I think LOL at the jeans dilemma, I am getting so fed up with things falling down (especially now that Beanie has shifted down) braces sound like a plan to me!
Naetha ? glad you are enjoying your purchases I haven?t had time to read how to work the buggy either. That Hypercal sounds interesting, where can you get that from? I?ve heard that grazes can hurt more than stitches (aooooooooow!) useful having a homeopath as a Dad LOL I am banned from watching Special Deliveries by DH, he hates it, thinks it is so dramatized and like you say, they are ALL on their backs and given everything available ? I?ve seen them give ladies amnios at 39 weeks and in labour to check lung viability ? FGS!!! Talk about using medical equipment because you have it! How exciting about all that activity!!
Madmouse ? sounds like you had a lovely few days away hon I think I read that the baby?s hiccups aren?t as irritating as the ones we get. Mine gets them a lot now too and as the head is so low, I almost worry about an echo
Letsgo ? glad Susie directed you to that eBay shop, I think they are prefect (DH thinks they look like duvet covers! ) half my NCT class now have them too!!
