Due July 2008 - the thread where we all (hopefully) have our babies!!

[sweetkitty]

Here we go ladies

New thread I've tidied up, theres raspberry leaf tea on the go, all our bags are packed, come on babies..............

Polyxene I hope you've managed to get back to sleep.

Have a great day at the wedding.

oh oh oh libralady sounds like we may be getting a baby on the solstice, hope you are in hospital now and already delivered no problems, will be keeping everything crossed for you

This thread is getting so exciting think I will update the list and soon you lot with babies will be off making your own postnatal thread

DP very apologetic now but I am still SO angry with him I can hardly look at him, just so disappointed in his behaviour like he has gone down in my estimations like I never expected him to do something like that when I'm this pregnant, anyway...

poly - enjoy your wedding today

purplejenny - better to be safe though and get checked out, hospital probably have about 10 women a day thinking they are in early labour, be routine to them. I had an hour of painful BHs last night too but they faded once I lay down for a bit. I know I am going to term though.

pigley - the needing the loo all the time is probably the babies head whacking against your pelvis, at your strawberry tart though

Woke up at 6am and couldn't sleep hate this pregnancy insomnia thing.

15 GIRLS 20 BOYS 1 Set TWINS

Libra - how exciting. Hope your ok.

Sweetkitty - thought you might be up and on here. Had twinges all morning, sadly not as exciting as libra's, just uncomfortable BH. Also have huge lump sticking out my side, so decided to get up and be uncomfortable and let DH get some sleep.

Got virgin media man coimg again at 8am. Came yesterday fixed original problem with phone but created a new one. Have to say however that they were fab at getting it sorted asap for me, after i politely explained i was 81/2 months pregnant and need my phone working

lol @ mummywannabee sometimes it's nice to get up and have a cuppa and time to think before all hell breaks lose the girls get up.

I agree the phoneline and being pregnant are vital.

Mummywannabe Hmmmm glad Virgin have been helpful for you personally I have found them totally useless (bar one bloke the last time) they cannot even manage to send out my bills strangle letters telling me I have not paid get here often the day after they cut me off and apparently it's my fault because I do not pay by DD well if I flippin did they would be breaking the law because they are supposed to inform me how much is coming out before they take it and if they cannot get me a bill they obviously would fail doing that. Told the last bloke that I was very glad I was moving to an area they did not serve because they were totally useless I never had this problem with blueyonder and I was really looking forward to not wondering if I was going to receive a bill a rude letter or pick up the phone at 8 months pregnant to phone an ambulance and discover they had yet again disconnected me Last week I had bloody paid and they disconnected me anyway

Kor Blimey! It all happens on this thread!

ABK- Congrats on being on Maternity leave. Did you enjoy your last day?

Purplejennyrose- Was best to get checked out.. Better safe than.. rest up in case it does start up again.

Polyxene - enjoy the wedding today. Hope the weather is nice for you.

Libralady- oohh exciting. Ill be checking for your announcement soon then

Mummywannabe- Glad youve getting your phone sorted..... having a phone at this stage is a pretty good idea!!

Sorry to disappoint, but I am still here and the pains have eased off somewhat.

Sat on the birthing ball until 5am and felt so knackered I got off and lay down on the sofa.

DH woke up at 4am when he realised I wasn't in bed and came and investigated. Said I was alright and for him to go back to bed, so he did.

Saw him at 6am and said it's not full on so he may as well go to work as this could go on for hours or days. It is definately worse when I am standing/upright, but I was so shattered I had to lie down.

My mumsnet connection went down just when I needed it during the night for 'essential maintenance' so that pissed me off and had nothing to keep my attention and keep me awake iyswim.

DS has come downstairs (4.2), got his own breakfast - a yoghurt and some juice from the fridge, has sat at the coffee table, eaten it and is now watching Nick Jr. All this whilst I was asleep on the sofa! What a star.

Have just got up off the sofa and gone to the loo and certainly the pains are still there again when upright.

I may parcel him off to my Mum's later and I'll get on with some housework and I've got a stack of ironing. Maybe that will do the trick. The fresh pineapple is in the fridge and the clary sage and Lavender has been duly rubbed in the last couple of nights before going to bed. May have a few drops in the bath later as well.

I need this LO out now. Today is the anniversary of my aunt's death 22 years ago, so it would be lovely for my family. It's wierd, she was born on the shortest day (21st December) and died on the longest day.

Maybe if it is born today I should think of a suitable druids name ha ha. Any suggestions?

Whoa, another pain and poor DS is looking at me bewildered. It's not bad enough to put the tens on though. Should I take some paracetamol? I'm worried about them disappearing altogether.

Thanks for all the good wishes and thoughts. I'll keep you posted.

Want to call DH to make sure he is OK, but don't want to put him in a blind panic when he sees it's my number.

I hate being in LIMBO!!!!!

Oooooh Libra so excited for you! Call your DH, he needs to know that things are happening anyway so a bit of terror for a mo won't hurt

If you do take some paracetamol and they ease off a bit, it doesn't mean that they aren't real just that they are being masked for a while! So if you think it would make you more comfy go for it, they will still be doing the trick just without hurting which can't be bad.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

Good luck libralady - hope this is it! Keep us posted...

LO very active last night. I may be mad but I really enjoy it. It makes the baby seem so much more real. It's the only thing about being pg that I like!

Pigley - keep up the bouncing!

Libralady - very exciting, keep up posted

Polyxene - have fun at the wedding

ABK - congrats on maternity leave!

Purplejenny - hope you're feeling better, best to get things checked out.

Kaz - sorry to hear your troubles with virgin media. Have to say when we were first under telewest they were far better!

Libra - bless your DS. What a little star. Good luck and keep us posted if you can!

Still feeling rough here, had dodgy stomach this morning, got excited as hear this can be a sign but think i'm just under the weather. Still getting up at 5.30am has allowed me to do all my housework

Congratulations twinkle. Libralady hope things are progressing for you.

It's getting very exciting on here now!!

Very at all those whose babies are due soon, I still have 6 (or more!) weeks to go. Think I will undoubtably be the last and you all will have disappeared by the time this LO appears!!!!!! Facing the reality that this one could very well be an August baby! Is it bad that I just want her out now....with 6 weeks to go I know it's not really a good idea at all, just getting really bored and frustrated and I agree with EEC the movements are the only part of being pregnant that I 'enjoy'! Not even enjoying the eating for two thing as now if I eat anything much I just end up feeling sick again. My hayfever is horrendous and homeopathic stuff does nothing for me at all, my MW says hayfever usually goes away wwhile you're pregnant.....pah! And I cant remember the last day I got up in the last month that I wasn't sick!! Lets hope if I do have any more (!!!!!) the pregnancies are very different!

Morning all, ere I am, lady of leaisure (sort of). DH redeemed himself for previous apparent lack of interest in how I feel last night by coming home and ordering pizza for tea, then putting dds to bed (and they flaked out). Then he came downstairs, made himself a cup of tea and got me some milk (drastic heartburn!) then said 'Right come on, I've got 'I Am Legend' for us to watch, let's go lie down on the bed and watch the film' . Sadly, film was dire but that wasn't DH's fault, and I had said I wanted to see it. Only plus point was Will Smith with his shirt off - mmmm!

Libra hope all is still going well. Sending positive vibes for you.

Ooh how exciting libralady ..hope things progress for you...
and Merlin is a good druidy type name I reckon

how exciting, libralady, don't give up hope yet!!!

My main gripe is I have developed itchy palms and soles, as well as bump and under boobs (TMI). had a cool shower this am and feel a bit better and less itchy, but I remember this from last time (or was it first time).

am seeing M/W on mon, so will check with her. had investigations for obstetric cholestasis before and all ok, I'm just itchy!

This pregnancy lasrk is great isn't it?! I am just back from Asda for Zantac and Rennies and had to stop half way round for a rest. And people are so annoying not getting ourt my way! Broke down and had a good moan at DP today as well, just so fed up with everything as I'm sure we all are. I remember this from last time it's a late stage pregnancy madness that takes over your body.

DP is in major suck up mode though he's offered to spring clean our bedroom as I had a fit and said it felt really grimy and needs a really good clean and I can't do it, will make the most of it.

libralady - still sounds like the start of something a show is a show afterall, sounds like you are on the slow build up. Get that clary sage out.

bebejones - I know it's tough being the last and everyone else has had their babies, they all do come out eventually though, hang on in there.

minkus - how are you feeling today? Don't worry about moaning on here I do more than enough for everyone honestly I AM happy to be pregnant (well most of the time)

hi ladies, just popped in to say hope it all goes well for libralady . Out to town with the kids and dp now.

Good luck Libralady, hope it all moves along swiftly today.

Just back from a walk around to MIL/FILs just around the corner so not too far from home. Still getting the niggling pains.

Come on 'Merlin' Hurry up!

Just a quickie everyone-

TWINKLES - whoopee!! Many many congrats and lovely names and ta for letting us know. Hope they put on weight quickly and come home soon

My parents arrived yesterday so have taken DD out for a wee while so I am just about to go and get a rest. had to share bed with Dh last night - torture - snoring, couldn't get comfy, peeing, thirsty - I am SOOOOOOO fed up now. My Mum doesn't reckon I'll go past 2nd July - so am happy for that. I feel ready to go any day. Childcare thing is abit of a quandry for us too. Bro and SIL 1 hour away (but he works away a lot) Mum is 4.5 hours drive away.

DISNEY - I second what everyone says - you have had so much to deal with that your chemical balance must be gished. Did you speak to your GP about depression and counselling etc? I think it might be an idea to have your DH at the hospital -then if you change your mind at least he can rush in to you. Remember men want to 'do' something to make ti better for us - they cannot understand or feel what we go through - we are totally different beings emotionally and in brain make-up - he will be doing his best for you I am sure - but it is just not what you feel you need or want at the moment. Hope things improve for you - BIG HUGS>xx

LIBRA - ewwwww! How exciting - rest, rest and more rest - Last time I couldn't sleep as I was so excited and full of anticipation - this time I am going to rest as much as possible as labour is so knackering! Big glass of red vino to help you relax?

KITTY - I will remeasure DD this weekend to make sure I got it right. Can you maybe become a lecturer/teacher? You are afood scientist? You could lecture at 1 of the Glasgow FE Colleges. Great job - I love it! I am going back too when DCs are older.

Must go rest whilst I can - take care allxxxxx

Mean't to ask - does anyone have a copy saved of the Important Information re childbirth and after they can post or can anyone be arsed going back to retrieve it? thought it would be good to update for newbies and bubbas appearing.

I'm also looking for the list we had regarding self induction to help start things off. Can remember the clary sage, pineapples, etc, but with pregnancy brain the rest has gone out of my head.
