minipinkscottish · 31/07/2008 14:36

Sorry for crashing your thread guys...just wanted to say I'm thinking of Dizzy today and can't wait to hear the newsxx

No19 · 31/07/2008 14:46

LOL TS if I were being induced today there's no way I'd have gone blardy cot shopping! Was meant to be today but hallulujah! went to doc yesterday am and got a reprieve till next week and hoping will happen naturally in meantime. Have special reflexology session on Sunday "guaranteed" to bring on labour... !

Got a reasonable, plain and simple cot in the dreaded Mothercare, got it home, put it together, looks quite sweet. Also got a blardy expensive breast pump! I was expecting about e20 but was e80-something! Was too knackered to say anything other than oh chuck it in then.

Everyone sounds miserable today. Me too, I've had a scrap with DP.

No19 · 31/07/2008 14:48

Sorry who said was I new? It's me, VG. No19 is my old screenname pre-preg.

My two favourite perfumes, Chanel No19 and Jo Malone Vintage Gardenia.

Better change back.

VintageGardenia · 31/07/2008 14:49

C'est moi.

MrsMagooo · 31/07/2008 14:56

Afternoon all,

I shall join you on the sofa!!

All I have succeeded in doing today is bunging a wash on & pegging it on the line - that was enough to wear me out & I ended up falling alseep for an hour when I had just gone for a lay down due to feeling sick - ooppss!!

VG Glad you got a cot sorted hun

  • it's a mine field isn't it!!

DH brought the family crib home last night (we have a modern crib in our room & a cot in E's room also), it's been in DH's family for years & every Magooo baby born has slept in it it is so beautiful & I love it - just such a shame DH's brother took it upon himself to paint it when he had his DS hence why we only use it downstairs during the day!!

Seems odd seeing it all set up in the lounge with blue sheets on it - cannot believe it's been 2 years since it was here last & it was all draped in pink

Sorry - turned into a major waffle!!

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 31/07/2008 14:59

Hi everyone, does anyone know how accurate fundal height measurement is.
I am currently measuring 3 weeks a head,
MW doesnt seem concerned. She said felt a good size and head quite down.
Could this just be another big baby or could baby come early.

I due end of august. Currently 35+5 and desperate to hang on till 37 weeks for my HB/WB

(If one more person says I look really low and ready to pop.....)

Just wondered if anyone experienced this

bealcain · 31/07/2008 15:05

no1putsbabyinthecorner it depends on what you're using it for. it;s a very average thing, you may have a lot of water or a bigger baby you just can't tell by fundal height alone

AnnVan · 31/07/2008 15:09

Hello again all, I'm back having had a little sleep. Ooh, orgot RLT brewing in kitchen. Be right back.

bealcain · 31/07/2008 15:10

for you Annvan re: lack of sleep

AnnVan · 31/07/2008 15:13

Thanks bealcain I couldnt help going to sleep. Then couldn't wake up cos of being so tired. Guessing no sleep again tonight now. Min you I keep trying to stay up all day so that I can sleep at night, but it doesn't work I STILL can't sleep. Quite fed upnow, but at least I'm on MAT leaave and don't have to worry about getting up for work and looking good for clients

sweetkitty · 31/07/2008 15:17

Had a text from Mrdizzy baby girl 9lbs 13ozs both doing well no names yet, will let her fill you all in with the details congratulations to all the dizzies

Alittlebitshy - sorry didn't know you had a baby too congratulations too

All you other in waiting best of luck mine newborn is 2 weeks now and utterly wonderful you forget how much so, you are all lucky ladies

cyteen · 31/07/2008 15:20

Yay, another Dizzy daughter! Great news.

bealcain · 31/07/2008 15:20

congrats dizzy

MrsMagooo · 31/07/2008 15:21

CONGRATULATION*S Dizzy!!!!

Welcome to the world little girl

No1 It's hard to go by fundal height alone - I have been up & down this PG, at my 35 week I was measuring 3 weeks behind then at my 37 week appt I was measuring 2 weeks ahead - I would take the measurements with a pinch of salt tbh

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 31/07/2008 15:22

thankyou bealcain

FoghornLeghorn · 31/07/2008 15:26

Wahoooooooo ! Well Done Dizzy and welcome MiniDizzy

..... although not actually that mini !

alittlebitshy · 31/07/2008 15:36

yay dizzy - our first girl!!!!
xxx

Buckets · 31/07/2008 15:48

No1putsbaby, fundal height measuring can safely be regarded as a lot of subjective old nonsense, esp if you hear something you don't like! If the MW isn't concerned enough to send you for a growth scan, it's a safe bet to assume she doesn't take the measuring that seriously anyway.

Hurray Dizzy!

CC how's your flashing lights? Did you tell anyone about them in the end yesterday/today?

sweetkitty · 31/07/2008 15:58

Maybe you lot with be like us in July boys outnumbered girls 3 to 1 or maybe you will have a load more girls

AnnVan · 31/07/2008 16:00

Go Dizzy, GO dizzy!

VintageGardenia · 31/07/2008 16:10

Thanks sweetkitty.

Yay for dizzy and the new Little Miss Dizzy! Well done, 9 lb 13 is pretty impressive, hope you have a restful few days in hospital getting to know each other. Congratulations to the other minidizzies on their new sister, and MrDizzy, come and have a chat if you get a second! We understand you have been initiated...

I wonder when we will hear from ChaCha.

sarahnh · 31/07/2008 16:14

congratulations dd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a lovely birth weight... hope you rest up... you are now a mum to three little dizzy's xxx

CaptainCaveman · 31/07/2008 16:20

oooh massive congrats to the dizzyclan on the latest pink arrival. What a blinkin whopper!!! . Can't wait to see piccies etc. Is minidixie the first girl? Depends what chacha had and at what time?!

Have peeled myself off the sofa temporarily as I was starting to develop pressure sores.

Keep getting back ache today but it's kind of mid back not really lower back - possibly due to breech? Or just not pg related at all?

buckets I told the mw who I spoke to this morning about the flashing lights, and that I had put it down to me having been crying for 45 mins. She said "yes maybe, but you should still ring". She was lovely so I do feel reassured.

bealcain · 31/07/2008 16:27

Annvan far too much energy for someone who's soooo pregnant and had little sleep! lol

PetitFilou1 · 31/07/2008 16:29

Congratulations dizzy - but I want to know the NAME!

VG Glad you got your cot sorted

Had a weird afternoon. dcs bouncing off the walls (is it the weather???) Had a neighbour and her little boy round to play but ds was a right pain in the a*se and had to take him to his room and talk to him
