Best of luck Christiana for tomorrow, how exciting that we will have our first baby! But TBH I am so surprised that we've not had any new arrivals yet!
SwineFlu OMG a colleague of mines wife has just been diagnosed with it . He was in work this morning with a sore throat and starting to get 'flu like symptoms' so was swiftly sent home but he knew his wife might have it (was just waiting on test results), so why the feck did he come in!? I work in the NHS too and we have been having all these protocols about what to do re swine flu and the main one was to stay away from others. So he has been in and touched all the doors and used the phone etc, he'd better not have infected me!
Bras I'd recommend not buying any until your milk comes in. I bought some mothercare ones last time I was PG and after the birth I was measured by a proper maternity bra lady who said that buying bras before you give birth is a total waste of time as you will have no idea how your boobs will change. eg I went from a 36B to 36DD overnight! I actually didn't wear bras much after but rather these which you can wear without a bra as they are pretty supportive. I also went through a ton of nursing pads so I'd be interested in finding out what the good washable ones are.
Perineal massage is anyone doing this? I don't want to tear again so I'm thinking about doing this but it all seems a bit daunting and time consuming but hey if it stops me tearing again then fab.
GrowthScan I had one yesterday at 34+4, and the consultant has recommended that I have another natural birth as this baby is just above the 50% percentile re size. It's good news I guess but I'm starting to feel worried about pushing one out that's bigger than my DS was (he is already bigger OMG as DS was only 5lb10oz at birth).
RLT tablets- when do we start these?! Anyone else taking them?
Hope everyone is well and good luck for all those about to met their little baby / babies!
