Hi all,

Amelia is 1 week old today, where does the time go?

with regards to piles, I feel your pain! I am suffering quite badly, especially since the birth but am finding a combination of witch hazel gel applied directly to the area and having baths with some cypress oil drops is helping. Also, calcium flouride tablets are helping, really recommend them.

Hopefully there will be some births soon...good luck ladies!

VenusInfers · 08/11/2009 19:32

Ooh Wook! Good luck honey! Looking forward to your next update with a LO in your arms!

Comma I now have a lovely mental image of your baby girl floating about in your tum like an astronaut on a spacewalk, only attached by the cord!

Ninjacat · 08/11/2009 19:33

Off to a Daniel Johnston (the mad American, not the Xfactor bloke) gig in a night club tonight. Think I might be mad! Have tried to put dp off but he is determined I'm going.

Tabby hope things are as ok as can be and that baby is obliging in timing.

Any one else as scared as me off this whole birth business? Every twinge is the start of labour and every twinge reminds me what a woos I am

Ahhh helips, you give us all hope that there is an end to this purgatory.

To continue the TMI theme, I've had an almighty battle today of baby vs poo, and I'm so glad to report that the poo finally won this evening. Feeling a whole lot better now (but not encouraged by its lack of looseness katster - that's either a good sign for you or a sign of too much curry )

Had a bit of a bleh day despite the lovely sunshine. Swine flu vaccine I think - just feeling pretty wiped.

For those with clingy DCs - are any of them on hunger strike? I can't work out if DD is actually ill with something or just listless through lack of eating. She hasn't had more than 2 or 3 mouthfuls of dinner for a week now. Breakfast is fine, lunch usually fine but has also become a struggle. Apart from one spike in temp last Wednesday and another similar episode (but oddly no temp to go with it) yesterday she seems fine, but is easily tired. Who knows? doesn't seem enough to bother a doctor about. Could it just be a 'weird vibes' reaction to things?

Hey all, thanks for your advice on SIL..unf she is in Belfast so too far away for hugs. I will call and try and be supportive. Its just awful..Thanks again, you've all been very helpful.

Pavlov I have the stitch constantly and the spasm down the leg more and more..its getting a little painful..It eases after bed but then gets worse during the day.

Moan about DH..insensitively mention skiing and keeps checking out the snow weather..does he realise a BABY IS ON ITS WAY!!! not the best time to talk about leaving for the slopes..hormonal rant over...

Piles piles go away for all sufferers.

Speak tom folks..

PavlovtheForgetfulCat · 08/11/2009 20:33

Hey all. Sorry to hear of all you poor ladies with piles , how horrid. I hope they do not give you too much hassle.

helips 1 week already! It has gone very fast! My friend's newborn is now 3 months old, that has gone fast too, i cannot these babies are growing and mine is still there!

This baby appears to be moving upwards not downwards Feeing very uncomfortable above my bump, it hurts to sit in one position for too long.

I have had a very productive day. I was very tired this morning so I spent several hours in bed sorting out our paperwork which has been mounting up, then I took DD to the national marine aquarium in Plymouth, it was lovely actually, she ran around and I waddled getting sympathetic looks, then realised I did not have phone on me and had a slight panic every time I had a twinge hoping my waters did not break then we had cake and juice while she ran around the soft play area. THEN, i got back and DH and tidied...we very very nearly have a tidy organised entire place! I need to do a bit of work to the bedroom, and then all the rooms apart from baby's room are clean and tidy! And baby's room just needs a lick of paint and new carpet which we have! {dances} for the first time, probably ever i have a clean, tidy, organised home with space. Phew. Its close. Baby can arrive now.

Oh, and I was naughty and spent £20 on a changing mat , but its lovely - Humphrey's Corner one, with extra padding and two linings! My justification was that is winter and baby will get a cold bottom if he does not have a lined changer - then friend said 'oh yeah, he will get really cold in a centrally heated place!'

ursigurke · 08/11/2009 21:38

Just bookmarking, didn't have time to read your posts but it seems as wook might soon have good news, so I'll be thinking of you.
I hope all the others of you are fine, hopefully I'll find some time to catch up tomorrow.

weston · 08/11/2009 21:51

hobnob57 what age is your DD? mine went off food the other week and realised afterwards it was cause she was getting her final 4 back teeth through...also its amazing the power of chocolate lollypops to bribe her to eat dinner...

Hobnob - mine are off their food a bit at the moment, but think it was just that the were feeling under the weather with colds coming on. The only thing I can get down DS is porridge whilst pretending the spoon's a aeroplane!

No problemo, I'm really sad and have a wordpad on my desktop with a note of arrivals so I don't forget! Funny how we've had 4 boys followed by 4 girls... Although I'm sure there must be more babies by now!

Tabbykat · 09/11/2009 08:27

Morning all, hope evryone had a good weekend? Thanks for all the kind words about my Grandad. Feel so sad for my dad that he has to go to the funeral without us as we're all on baby-standby, especially as he didn't go and see his dad in case he was needed here - wish this baby would hurry up now!

Had a dream last night that my waters went in my sleep but when I woke up for a wee I was really disappointed that the bed was dry - is that v weird?! DD is now v bored and keeps shouting at my tummy saying "hurry up baby, stop pretending to be asleep and come out to play!" - know how she feels. Hope we get some arrivals soon,xx

TOK · 09/11/2009 08:46

That's not weird at all Tabbykat, I am having similar dreams about my waters breaking. We're just so desperate for it to happen!

These babies are so inconsiderate not arriving when we need them too. Everyone keeps telling me it'll come when I least expect it, but I am so obsessed with going into labour at the moment, I really can't imagine it taking me by surprise!

Fubble · 09/11/2009 08:58

Due date has arrived and its going to disappear isn't it??..

I think we're all too desperate..but I can't help thinking about it happening. What else is there to think about!???

DD keeps waking at night and pining for her mummy...She is convinced something has or will happen to me and I won't be there for her. She is even not very nice to my mother because she knows she is always here when I'm away..

ErikaMaye · 09/11/2009 09:55

Katster my mum asked me last night when I thought it would be and I said sometime this week. But again, that might be wishful thinking!!! My next MW appointment is Wednesday and I?m kinda hoping not to make it till then!!!

Becky sorry you had to endure balloons! I?m kinda the same. I can?t stand touching them, or even seeing anyone else touch them. Really creeps me out.

TOK have tried the nipple tweaking, and although he started moving around more, that seemed to be it. I think you?re supposed to do it for a while though, and I managed about a minute before the weird factor got too much If you?re going to try it though, remember to only do one at a time. Apparently it stresses the baby out if you do both at once.

Helips lovely to hear from you Give Amelia a cuddle for me!!

BeepBeep feel better soon.

Tabby big hugs. I?m sure your Granddad would understand.

Well the contractions I?ve been having for the past few days seem to have disappeared virtually. I could cry! Same here with those who were saying about lose bowels Though am rather grateful considering I?m still on three iron tablets a day! Am considering going into town ? because I want marshmallows

Right will post this then update the list
