Sazzles as an experienced mum, what is the earliest you felt able to leave DC behind to go somewhere? (in an evening)

That's ok. We've got tickets to see lee evans at the 02 in October so the lumpy will only be about a month old. Much as I'd love to go (tickets were CHristmas pressie from MIl, before we knew I was pg) I'm wandering if we'll have to sell the tickets

AnnVan · 22/08/2008 02:12

Also have been invited to a memorial concert, and feel I OUGHT to go as it's or a friend's brother, and proceeds going to charity. THink that one I'll have to give a miss.

OK sleep well

no1putsbabyinthecorner · 22/08/2008 03:41

Thanks Miamla Mum said something about all us kids going quiet prior to imminent labour.

PMSL Ts at the butt walking
Hope you are feeling better.

Sazzles and AnnVan you deserve medals for lack of sleep.

Just been woken from sleep, but not for another toilet trip but from PAINS.
Not the tightenings that I had been haveing but proper period style pains.
Had 4 but couldnt be bothered to look at clock to see how far apart they are.
But decided to shift myself after last one as was quite intense.

Had 2 while sat here think there was 6/7min between.

Ooh no1 sounds like you're going to be jumping the queue

Mind you I can't jump queue, I haven't even ordered moses basket or bedding yet. Is it possible I am still SOMEHOW in denial despite kicks, thumps, heartburn and feeling like a bloated whale??

Last 4 were
4.35
4.45
4.52
4.57 I asked MW when I should phone she said if it was your first I would say when they are every 5 min.
But as its your second she said sooner rather than later.
What do you think, just feel guilty ringing for some reason.
I have to phone lcal labour ward too, to tell them to fetch Etenox, Vit K etc...

Gaah, can't believe I missed all this action! Sodding MN wouldn't let me on
sazzles yes, MIL is passing some stuf on. Not sure why no moses basket is orthcoming though. A lot of stuf is probably still in use seeing as her DD is not yet three.

Anyway, have got a shopping basket ready to order on mothercare website. Will show dp before he goes to work and then order. Really can't put it off any longer. After all due date is just over one week away
Can't believe it's nearly over. It's elt like it would be never ending.

No1 hope things are progressing well for you!

Ohh No1, fingers crossed this is it - sounds exciting! Hope to see a birth announcement soon

Well my birthday has rolled around and still no baby. I always said I'd like to have my first by the age of 25 but not sure the little one is going to oblige - unless he gets a move on and arrives before the end of today, haha. I have an apt on tues at home to recheck BP and wee as there was a + of protein in it on weds and BP getting higher, hopefully everything is okay. I really hope he comes before then though, as they will also discuss induction then

Anyway, back to bed I think to try and sleep again. Have been fidgeting all night, too hot and just couldn't get comfy. Blah!
Hope you're all well!

Happy Birthday cheerful vicky - hope your lo arrives soon. Induction really not that bad (if anything like mine) if it has to happen better for both to be safe and sound.

Congrats to TS hope that today is a better day for you.

Had to go see my doctor this morning with Sam. He kicked off royally as he was hungry and hot and there was a delay for my appointment which didn't help. DH did a pretty good job of calming him but he screamed the whole way home. Is sleeping now but will be hungry again soon no doubt. Still concerned he's not getting enough milk and don't have any way of knowing whether he is putting on weight. DH back at work on Monday which scares me very much.
