I have found this so have ordered my RLT and EPO I will be taking both by mouth as soon as they arive.... I am 35 weeks now..

kayzr · 19/01/2009 09:22

Morning,

Lardy, Sorry you are feeling so down. I hope you do manage to get an induction, I'm sure they will take into account how much pain you are in. With the evening primrose oil I'm sure it doesn't really matter.

Gyo, Sorry about your back, but Yay for Portland Babies!!

DS1 slept all night in his bed!! He didn't get out once and I had to go and get him out this morning. Hopefully it will happen every night.

moosma · 19/01/2009 09:24

Lardy, sorry you're feeling down, SPD sounds rotten

Morning Kay- glad to hear the night went well with DS1 and his cot. Long may it continue!

Morning Cosmo and LB.

Sesthinks2009willbeagreatyear · 19/01/2009 10:17

Morning all!

Just checking emails and planning week from home and then off down to the coast! (Sounds much more exciting than it is!)

I've just emailed a local pilates centre for details of their antenatal classes. A friend gave me their details as she used them when she was pg last year. I'm kind of excited!

Kay - that's fantastic about last night and DS1!!!

LB - sorry you're still in such pain. Glad you're seeing MW this week and will be able to talk it through with her. I agree, just tell her exactly how things are for you at the moment.

Morning Cosmo and GYo!

Anyone heard from tink this morning? Any idea what time her appointment is?

NatalieJane · 19/01/2009 10:31

Morning, quick catch up on the last few posts, DS1 is off ill, so am running round after 3 of them... Thanks for new thread Tink, good luck today, will be keeping my fingers crossed

LB, they had agreed to induce me at 39 weeks before they found out about the IUGR, so apart from him having a fast HB every now and then, they'd agreed before they actually found any concerns with him. Though, it wasn't all for my benefit, my waters were already known to be low, and getting lower, so that might have had something to do with it. You can always ask. Hope you get somewhere with it, you don't sound like you're much fun at the moment

Kay, a big hip hip hooray for DS1 And a big clout round the ear hole for DH.

Hooray for shopping, and boooooo at crappy MC world, I think they are all the same, ours is always upside down and aisles blocked with stock just sat on the floor.

OK, time's up, will try to get back later, sorry if I've missed anything big xxx

Not really caught up with everyones news properly so sorry if I miss anything important.

Welcome back Moos. Good luck with the ttcing!

Tink, if you're around I hope your sweep goes ok.

Kay - yay for DS1 sleeping through.

LB - so sorry you are suffering so much with the SPD.

GYo - sorry to hear about the back ache, it is amazing how painful and limiting it can be. Hope it passes soon.

Hi everyone else.

GruffaloSoldier · 19/01/2009 10:43

Morning all!

Went to see my step aunt and uncle at the weekend who have two year old twins - just adorable!

They gave us moses basket, a selection of grobags, dr brown baby bottles, steriliser, sheets, fur lined buggy snuggle, some clothes, a maxi cos car seat with isofix (we have a car seat but this is a bit bigger), a samsonite travel cot, selection of parenting books and a walking rucksack thing to carry the baby in. I was so overwhelmed by all the stuff. We have been given so much by family members we have saved so much money.

They live 15 mins away from ikea so we went there on the way back too

I am just preparing myself to go to work now but I just want to stay home and chill out to be honest!I am so tired I didnt get out of bed til 9.30!

Hope everyone else is ok. Gyo sorry to hear about your back problems. Mine is a complete nightmare at night, along with baby who has decided to do some pretty spectacular movements between 12 midnight and 3am! That is the time to get groovin' apparently

LB sorry to hear of your troubles, I agree that there is no harm in asking!

Hope apt today is ok Tink.

Hello Kay, Moos, Ses, NJ and anybody else I have forgotten!

Astarte · 19/01/2009 10:45

Morning, things have cleared up on the D&V front thank god. What a time to catch a stomach bug

Ooh, could be today for Tink, how exciting!

Moos if you wanna stick to sorky I'll know who you mean. Changed because my gob is too big!

LB I do hope they agree to an induction for you. Could you considered an Osteopath/chiropractor for the last couple of weeks? I know a few of us have found the treatment rather effective.
Thanks for link btw I'm off to order some Caullophylum and EPO etc.

Pool should be arriving today hopefully

God that took so long to post because I kept having to let Ds1 have a look at Mister Maker instructions on cbeebies.

Yay for sleeping babies, sounds like you timed it perfectly Kayz.

Gyo booooo for back pain.

Nat how's things going in your house of boys? sorry Ds1 is ill.

Gruff fab news on your haul where will you put it all? Our stuff is still all over the house in little piles

Cosmogirl · 19/01/2009 10:59

Morning, sorry to post list without saying hello - very rude of me! Was just eager to get update to 30 weeks! I see you have a second RH jab, GYo. The midwife who did mine at 28 weeks said I wouldn't need another one because she had given me the double or triple dose - can't remember which. Finding the whole RH thing very confusing, so will double-check with my routine midwife in a couple of weeks to make sure this is correct.

Hi Playing! Long time no speak. 7 weeks to go - wow, countdown is really on for you, and not long until Mat leave. Will you be around more when you finish work?

Hi Nat, Asarte, Gruff - and lots of labour vibes for Tink's sweep.

kayzr · 19/01/2009 11:00

Message from Glask!

TINK IS IN LABOUR!!!!!!!!

In birthing centre 5cms dilated!!!!!!!

WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Cosmogirl · 19/01/2009 11:01

Oh how exciting - my labour vibes are seriously good!

Sesthinks2009willbeagreatyear · 19/01/2009 11:06

YAY TINK!!!

If MW is right, it won't be long!!

I've got to go off to a store now but if there's any news will someone text me? I think Glask, NJ, GYo and 2BG all have my mobile no.

Go tink!!!

Cosmogirl · 19/01/2009 11:13

That means Tink has gone into labour four days past edd which I think she said happened with DD1.

GruffaloSoldier · 19/01/2009 11:29

Wow tink go lady!

Astarte - sounds very similar to me - we have stuff everywhere even in the loft its just unbelievable. We need to do some serious clearing out!!!

Could someone post on the FB group if theres any news on tink? I am off to work now and will only check from phone and it doesnt always like MN!

Right I am off to collect a LO from nursery. 'See' you all later

lastboxoftampons · 19/01/2009 11:35

Wahoo, TINK! I guess it's too late to add myself to the new syndicate, would be a bit unfair I would think. But I do think the LO is likely to arrive around 2pm - that's my guess!

Ses So sorry about the trip to Mothercare world, how disappointing! We were at Ikea on Saturday (DH is such a PITA in that store!!! He hates it and runs through it, so I can't look at ANYTHING) and I looked at MCW rather longingly as the tram went past I'm afraid I hadn't gotten that far with the I'coo as to look up stockists Hoping they email you back. I'll try to google and let you know if I find anything.

Kay Well done on DS1 sleeping through in his cot! May it continue!!!

LB So sorry about SPD, sounds horrific I hope you are feeling better.

Have my booking in with the midwife this afternoon. Is she likely to try to listen to the heartbeat? Or do they not bother?

Told some friends on Saturday night and I swear they were more excited than all of the grandparents put together! And that's not to say that the grandparents weren't excited, these guys (and yes they were GUYS!) were so thrilled for us, they said it's the announcement they've been waiting for and that they keep saying out of all of their friends, we're the ones they wanted it to happen for the most. {sniff} was really, really lovely!

Playingthe9monthwait · 19/01/2009 11:47

Yay Go Tink Go!

X-posts with loads of people there. Hi Nat, Astarte, Ses, Gruf and everyone else I dodn't say hi to earlier.

Hi Cosmo - I really don't know how much I will be around in mat leave. Probably be around more than now as I am so busy at work I just don't have time to post. I am trying to keep popping in just to check nothing major is happening even if I don't actually post. So yes, I do hope to MN a bit more but also I want to spend time out and about a bit whilst I have my last bit of freedom! I am also going to try and make an effort to spend a bit of time with the girls from my nct antenatal group as we will all be on mat leave together. Getting quite excited now, I can see an end in sight.

Right, better get on

glaskhamhasoneintheoven · 19/01/2009 11:50

Tink text me at 10.48, said she was at the birthing centre and was 4-5cm dilated. She text earlier this morning and said she'd been up with contractions every 3-5mins from 5am. I gatehr i probably wont hear anything till baby arrives now.

With her DD1 she went into labour 4 days overdue, but had her at 6 days overdue.... but looks like this one is going pretty fast if she's about 5cm already!! hopefully we'll have news later today.

will let you all know as soon as i hear anything!! and will text those of you who i have their number!!

All is ok here for me... had a nice afternoon yesterday, Pizza Hut was nice, was full to the brim and didn't even have any tea as i was still stuffed at 7pm!!

My pram sold on ebay yesterday too, so i'm waiting for the courier to collect that today. Lucky DH is off as he's gone to get DS from nursery. I've just got in from taking DD to toddlers, accident free again- thats a whole 3 weeks without a single accident now!! I'm 100% certain we've cracked it now!!

My sister was having lots of contractions yesterday while at Pizza Hut and had had lots all morning but it amounted to nothing in the end!! I finished making her nappy cake last night too, so she's allowed to come whenever she likes now!!
