Last night...the baby was trying to turn around inside me...blardy ell!! it was hurting me and it was rock hard all day yesterday.

Mawbroon thanks for the good wishes, I remember you from the first thread! Hope things are going well for you too.

Have just spent literally an hour on the phone to HSBC trying to fix a monumental cock up I made with our savings accounts (transferred from an ISA rather than to it, effectively losing our ISA allowance) but fortunately after much to-ing and fro-ing, nice Indian chap who I couldn't understand in any way made all the transactions go away and I could start again with a clean slate. So nice to actually get a problem solved by a call centre employee, instead of perpetuated.

Really should have a shower and get dressed - am still lolling in comfy pyjama bottoms and t-shirt that doesn't cover the bump. Terribly stylish.

Hi, can I join you all. 36+5 and really want to see my baby now. Although he is lying across my tummy instead of being head down at the mo. Any ideas to get him to turn, seems he's been stuck in this spot for months, he was in the same spot on my 20 weeks scan.

becaroo · 30/08/2008 14:06

Hi ladies...looks like I am not the only one having bad nights at the moment!

Really thought things might be happening last night - regular contractions from 10pm til about 3am then they stopped. Must have been BH but they were accompanied by period style cramps in my abdomen and lower back cramps too

Dont know what the hells going on in there but got NO sleep AT ALL so off now for a nap.

biglips my tummy seems to be hard all the time now....

Hope things are ok with you eandz

Have a good saturday x

so woke up this morning all damp (down there) and when i checked my pad tmi the color of the stuff was this really pretty green, i'd classify it as apple green. so i figured we'd take a cab to the hospital and get it checked out.

when i got there, they took a look and said it was discharge, it was leaking and all thin because i have a fever (i didn't notice cuz i get 2 fevers a day normally because of my stills disease anyway.)

spoke to my new doctor, he's not worried. my bump is still high and my son's head is no where near engagement. i'm going to be pregnant forever.

imoscarsmum · 30/08/2008 14:37

hopefully you are not alone! DP and I also had row last night as he has not yet read the 'dad' section of my pregnancy bible (what happens if we have an emergency homebirth - you won't be prepared i said) and he also wanted to unload the dishwasher "rather than spending quality time together as a couple" (my ranting words)!!!

Ah well, it's his own fault - he rises to it rather than ignoring the demented pregnant woman

DebitheScot · 30/08/2008 14:46

right I think I might go for the freedom murron's pouch here. It's quite cheap, lightweight and looks quite good. But then I am still tempted by the coorie pouch here because I like the rainbow coloured one.

Glad you're ok eandz and hope you're not going to be pg till December, funnily enough I said to someone the other day I thought this one won't come till Christmas!

Had a very vivid, weird dream last night where I had a baby girl, the hospital was in a shopping centre and you had to go down 6 floors to go to the loo in the shops. I couldn't remember the labour or the birth and dh couldn't remember what she weighed. Was very odd.

imoscarsmum · 30/08/2008 14:51

I have managed to get up and dressed and now DP and I are going out for a walk - wow what busy weekends i have! As usual, I'm worrying that we only have 3 or 4 weeks to go and think we should be cramming in as many 'couple-only' things in as we can now or is that just me panicking? hey ho

jenpet · 30/08/2008 15:06

Hi everyone and congratulations on all the new arrivals! Sorry I haven't had time to read through all the posts yet, but I will in a bit.
Just a brief post about the birth - (it was pretty brief anyway!) Got to hospital about 2.30pm, not in any great pain and expecting to be told to go back later, but was already 6cm, so I had to stay. Seemed to be gooing very slowly all afternoon - I was fine, the contractions were there, but it wasn't painful. Started to get more intense about 7.30-ish, examined again, 9cm, asked for some gas (don't apparantly have air over here!) had about 3 gulps from the mask and could feel him descending down, the midwife said she could see the head and that he would be born with the next contraction. It took 3 big pushes and he arrived. I can remember hearing a huge trump as I pushed and thought "Oh who is that?!" hmmmm that would be me then! Samuel William Nicholas arrived at 8.13pm - 3.166 kilos (about 6lb10oz?) We've both been absolutly fine, but it is the norm to stay in for 4 days after the birth over here. I've been going mad! Own room so no-one else to talk to, Sam is very calm and sleeping and feeding well (so far!) so what do you do for 4 whole days?! I'm so glad to be home....lot's to catch up with now though..will try & figure out how to put a picture on my profile in a sec x

CantSleepWontSleep · 30/08/2008 15:07

mumiyumi - you might like to remember that this is a public forum, so people not in your ante-natal club can still read it.

You've actually contradicted yourself in your statement below, thus making yourself look a bit silly, as well as rude. Either there's nothing remotely cheeky about our thread title because we will still be on the same thread come October (which we obv believed when we started it), or we do chat a lot and will thus need a new one. I'd suggest you learn some manners before your dc are of an age to pick up traits from you .

"I've notice the cheeky october "final countdown" are still on the same thread...either they don't chat or maybe there isn't alot due in oct??? They'll still be on that in oct and we'll i'm sure be on yet another come sept"

foxytocin · 30/08/2008 15:34

CSWS: you sound hormonal at the moment to take offence and I would say you are creating a storm in a teacup at mumi's remarks

If I didn't know you were pg, I would say: get. a. life.

Emmsy1 · 30/08/2008 15:39

mumyyumi there are a few ladies on the due in October thread, that will be induced very shortly, infact some may have their babies before your's is born, please don't be rude about other threads, I'm sure there's a few girls on this thread that are due at the end of September who would love to join us if they are late.

CantSleepWontSleep · 30/08/2008 15:43

kiskidee - I'm not remotely hormonal at the moment, but thanks so much for your patronising and rude response. Am quite ed at you tbh.

jenwa · 30/08/2008 15:44

mumiyummi
I am from the "cheeky Oct final countdown" and we are all still chatting and lots of it!! Think a new thread will be starting soon and maybe that will be the final one..who knows! All I know is that we prob did not expect us all to chat so much as we have and thought it would last us til Oct but we dont think so now!
There are over 60 of us but I think some will be sept babies as they look like they are on their way soon!!!!

ninja · 30/08/2008 15:45

Hi mum2bagain welcome to the thread, you're due about the same time as me!

Try [http://www.spinningbabies.com/ this website] for info about baby positions - I thought it looked quute useful!

mamamufin · 30/08/2008 15:46

x one million.

How rude of cantsleepwontsleep jump on our thread with a rude post to one of us. .

We all know each other on this thread and know that mumiyumi had not intended any rudness in her observation, she was only stating a fact.

Go back to your own club cantsleep your not welcome here. Thats told you

ninja · 30/08/2008 15:48

I'll try and do that link again

whoops - I normally get it right

this website

mamamufin · 30/08/2008 15:50

Hi mum2bagin and welcome. . I promise I am not a scary person, in fact this has been the first crossed word on this post since it started. We are a lovely bunch really.

ninja · 30/08/2008 15:50

did it!

By the way there isn't normally arguing on this site!!

CantSleepWontSleep · 30/08/2008 15:53

Ooh scared, not. And I'll go where I like on MN thanks, as I have done for years, and as we are all entitled to do.

eandz · 30/08/2008 16:07

yes, newbies ours is usually a very friendly happy/friendly/polite bunch.

please don't be put off.

i don't see how Mumiyumi's post was offensive, the due sept 08 girls are just super chatty and most of us have become chattier now that we're on mat leave. no need for a rivalry with the due oct crowd, we'd love for you to join us whenever you'd like.

mamamufin · 30/08/2008 16:09

Yes you are right you are entitled to go anywhere but we have a lovely no bitching thread here.

Absolutely, no offence was intended by mumiyumi in the slightest. Therefore it must be your hormones and I will forgive you.

End of disussion.

mamamufin · 30/08/2008 16:11

sorry eandz crossed posts, I dont want to put anyone off joining us.

I am Just protective of our group. How are you feeling today?

eandz · 30/08/2008 16:17

i'm good, how are you?

so i think i might be a little bit overly superstitious/cautious since i became pregnant...but what would you do?

this one woman who lives in my home town (she's an ex friends sister) who i've never had a conversation with in my entire life has been trying to find out about my life/address/baby status/husbands email address from my little sisters. i'm not sure what she could want from me at all to be honest. we have absolutely nothing in common, she's close to 15 yrs older than me...i just find it odd that she's trying to get all my information without a reason? is she just being invasive because she's bored?
