Babes in Scotland this year - shall we have our own thread?

[whinegums]

Hi, I can't see any up to date antenatal threads for mums to be in Scotland, anyone want to join in this one? I think there are a few Scottish mums on the due in June thread, so I wondered if we should have our very own for all of this year's Scottish crop?

Hi all off to my 12 week scan have butterflies!

Oh good luck modj&p!!! I've probably missed you now - I hope it's all good and we get excited news from you later on.

Hi everyone, hope you're all having a good day. I had a crap night, toothache in a wisdom tooth I should have had removed years ago (but too much of a wuss to get it done) and when that wasn't giving me grief I was getting a good kicking from junior.

Anyway, have been out and bought a few baby things from Gap - if you've got an Amex card, it's 30% off at the moment. Got a couple of things for me too of course. I think their baby stuff is expensive, but I couldn't resist some organic cotton socks and hats which are sooo cute!

Aberdeenhiker, did you get your oatcakes? I had to go to the bakers for scones this morning, and now I think I am going to have to have some chocolate.

Modj&p, how was the scan?

can I join too? I'm due on 29th April (that will be May then), it's my third, and I am in Lanark.

Great news modj&p! Hopefully you can relax a bit now??

Hi minipink - wow to being on your sixth ... and what were you doing in Aberdeen?

I was in Aberdeem as my first husband joined the police force up there. I liked the city - it was great! But I missed my family here and so we moved back. I am a teacher and did a bit of supply work but not a lot. Still like to visit Aberdeen though

Ooh, this one has moved fast! I'm near Fort William but have to go to Inverness to give birth as it's my first (local policy and a 2.5 hour drive, not too impressed!) I'm due the 7th of May and the time apprears to be speeding by!

Hi all, Had 36 wk midwife visit today and everythin great, although Aisha lying transverse (still time for her to move though) I have to go for another scan to check placenta as was low at 21wk scan.

Whinegums sounds like you need a visit to the dentist (aaaargh)
I have already had a back tooth out and 1 filling this pregnancy! you have to take advantage of freebies while you can

Hi thought I would join in(waves to Aberdeenhiker)
Baiyu I had my other DC's in Raigmore I dont envy you the travel though will you not be admitted before your due date?I thought if you were complication free the Balfour(?) would have still taken you.

Sorry its Broadford hospital isnt it duh!

Hi josey, I think in recent years the Belford in FW had been relaxing their policy but a few months ago they had to rush a girl to Inverness for an emergency caesarean (which they can't do) and she lost her baby
I guess they don't want to take any risks so better safe than sorry. I don't know when they'll want me in yet but yes, a wee while before I expect. How did you find the care at Raigmore? Anything you wish you'd known before?!

hey bobsmum nice to see another May mum on here (although I see you're now April, that's next month!! wow.)

Have a great day girls

Baiyu care at Raigmore is pretty good pre and post labour wards the mws are really kind. Labour ward itself is fine but dont expect a mw with you at all times they seem to pop in and out to feed there face with tea and bic's. I cant really think of anything I would have liked to have known or anything I wish I had been told to have taken. If you can think of anything to ask feel free I will try and answer.

It's been very quiet on here today.

Not long till our first due date already - hope you're doing ok monthlymayhem. What's your news??

Hi Northeast, all good here thanks. Baby is being very cooperative so far and holding on until we finish ripping out our bathroom (what a great time to decide to replace your bathroom ) .

I had a little bit of a show on Sunday but nothing since, and no aches or pains so I'm betting on baby being late! The midwife this week did say it's as engaged as can be before going into labour so it's just a case of waiting!

Hope everyone is coping with various pregnancy aches and pains. I've got to say I've been really lucky throughout mine and even managed to avoid any nausea, so am hoping the birth will also go smoothly. Planning on having a water birth, although there is only one pool room at the RAH so it really depends on whether it's free at the time.

Anyway, bed time for me!

Oh good luck for everything and don't forget to keep us posted . Loving your timing with the bathroom!

maybe the timing will encourage you to go into labour If I go overdue maybe I'll suggest to DH that he replaces our bathroom sink (the only thing that really needs changing).

(obviously that was directed to monthlymayhem - it's still early)

morning ladies it is sunny here !!!
My windows are filthy
