[Chulita]

Thanks to spirael for the title, hopefully we'll all pop before this thread ends!

that would be good kk nice to have someone to spend time with in the hospital. Have they got a name for lo yet? Hows your pains?

{{hugs}} for you chulita i havent slept much either, lots of pains. Thought waters were going to pop at some point thankfully they didnt. Thanks for the codine tip, i am bottle feeding due to meds. Will dd go to sleep for you?

I am going back to sleep, ds is still sleeping so im making the most of it lol x

morning all...

Can someone please have a baby today???

Woke up with really strong pains, didn't think i could stand up but when i bent over i discovered it had been trapped wind! lol! poor DH was helping me get out of bed at the time!

sorry to hear you guys are still not sleeping much better it is so frustrating.
Stac hope you managed to get back to sleep

I'm going to make an effort with the house today, my mum is coming tomorrow to stay for a couple of nights as DH is going to edinburgh on a course. Its not that far away and he can be home in about hour and a half but will be nice to spend some time with mum! not sure if i'll still be saying that on friday! lol!

what is everyone else doing today?

Hi all - thinking of all you now past the edd.

Didn't sleep well last night, BH seem to have calmed down. Bath with tea tree seem to has calmed thrush which is a relief.
Jobs for today - flea treat cat, hoover, sort out storage so babies clothes have somewhere to live, book hair appt, get pressie for mum's birthday, milk and toilet roll. Hopefully postie will arrive with clothkits project. Would also quite like to have a poo at some point
First things first - haven't had any coffee yet.

morning ladies!!!
glaston ive booked myself in for sweep on 14th too!! and was same last night for me putting a pillow under my hips after i lept on dh
dh make sure you bring up sweep to mw, a lot of mw's wont just suggest things if you dont show you want it, at our hospital it doesnt matter what pain your in they wont offer you pain relief you have to ask to get it, my friends only got gas and air for last half an hour after her mum said why havent you given her any!!
stac codiene is very good, make sure they give you lactulose at same time to keep bowels moving, you dont want to be bunged up!!
ive lost my clary sage it cost £9 so looks like it was a waste and i will have to buy another bottle! although ive now got it in my head i will go over! edd is friday dh has booked day off for us to do something as they say to go out and keep busy! we may go for lunch and do something silly like crazy golf!
got nothing planned for today may just replace clary sage and have a bath while dh is at work seeing as he cant stand the smell of it!
hopefully one of us will have a baby by tomorrow!

MLIC its week 4 for me too! i had expected by now that i would be bored with a gleaming house! but nope... bored with a messy house and no motivation to do anything about it!!!

Ah, wonder thanks for the reminder need to go to vets for flee and tick treatment for the dog! hope you get to have a poo soon- coffee should help fingers crossed your project arrives soon, you've been waiting a while!

stac is it tomorrow you go in for section? do you need to do anything to prepare today, was thinking about the fasting- do they still make you do that even with the GD?
would be cool if i went over next few days then we'd be in at same time will go round the wards asking everyones MN names! lol!

KK sorry missed the post yesterday about your dps uncle and aunt, congratulations to them! your dp getting a new cousin and his own LO so close together! do they live near you so LOs can play when they are a bit bigger?

Morning all,

mlic its been 7 months since Ive worked, Im literally going out of my mind which is why I want this baby to come early/ on time, NOT LATE!!

Does anyone know if baby's movements change when labour is imminent? He seems to be a bit quieter this morning, I cant remember if Ive read anywhere that they change when they're getting ready for labour.

I hope we have some more babies very soon, I love seeing the pics.

stac you must be SO excited knowing its all happening tomoro your so lucky, Im very

delta glad the afterpains aren't too bad. Are you settling into a routine?

mlic if it wasnt for the c-s i know lo wouldnt be moving for me either. I was 41+2 with ds but was hoping he was a lazy boy and a girl would be fighting to get out lol. Whens your sweep?

becky i'm still awake. The phone went but of course no-one answered. It will be nice for you to have mum staying cos she'l pamper and spoil you so enjoy it before your bombed out for her granchild lol. And lmao at trapped wind for your dh, they put up with so much haha

wonder your a busy bee today. I eat raisons to get me to go to the loo. Oh and if you are near ikea they have a set of 5 drawers for £45 hun x

oh mlic so excited for you! you've just given me a great excuse not to clean the house as i need to stay here and watch for your updates!!! Come on baby... you know you want to meet your mummy and daddy today

Ooh, fingers crossed for you mlic!

Every morning I wake up with really uncomfortable period pains - don't know if it's because I've been stretched out all night or what. They ease off half an hour or so after getting up.

Everything crossed for you MLIC its got to happen sometime soon x

LOL at bored in messy house - that was me last pregnancy beckyg - actually that was me last week - only dh helping out over the weekend that means my house is nice now - I've worked out that the more work I do the more he does.

stac we were at Ikea at the weekend - is a little way away - dd was a total nightmare - told dh no way we are going back with her in tow

ok then... will go get on with my jobs!

Right - first wash on, poo sorted, spot-on flea treatment ordered - was sure we had some in! Tummy has been solid and had period pains since poo!!

bored here today too.pleased to say that its in a clean house though thanks to my nesting last week! managed to keep on top of it too! the 2 bathrooms upstairs need painting and i have the paint there.half thinking of doing it today?! what do you lot reckon?there's not a lot to be painted only where isnt tiled
no word from gracie in a few days.hope everything ok x

oooh mlic got my fingers and toes crossed!
and wonder maybe your starting too! they say the body has a clear out b4 you start!! your post is early ours doesnt come til about 2!
my dog had just been sick on floor it was a task and a half to get onto floor and back up again to clean it, when i drop things i normally leave it for dh to get back but its not exactly something i could leave for 5 hours!

whats happening mlic? Anything progressing?

becky i go in at 8.30 tonight and i have to fast till the morning. They are puting me on an insulin drip, as far as i know i will go first due to the fasting. Would be good if you came in, just shout stacey if you do lol

dh know how you feel i am bored as i havent worked for ages either so i am totally looking forward to the baby and all the changes that come with it. Hope you go soon

emster is it your pelvis hun?

wonder yeah ikea defo wasnt built for kids, too much stuff their not allowed to touch haha. Maybe your system is clearing in prep for birth

kk thats lovely, i love chubby kids too. I suppose the painting may help start you or make you knackered.

I'm getting lots of good luck txts and facebook messages, sorry to rub it in but i will just be glad when its this time tomorrow and shes here. Could go a stiff half to steady my nerves lol x

Aw stac good luck- didn't realise you had to go in tonight! its been a long journey for you and your dp so just enjoy every second with your new baby girl when she arrives tomorrow i am very but also very happy for you!
will definately shout for you if i come in- although not even a hint of anything starting for me!

memphis not the nicest thing to leave for 5 hours but needs must!!! i nearly cry every time i'm out with the dog and she does a poo-why can't she keep them for when DH needs to pick them up- it is such an effort! although i think she realises it and has been going much more in the woods and long grass than normal and sorry but i'm not wading about looking for it!

kk we are the same- DH has 3 sisters who all have young kids and are all local so lots of big cousins to play with!!! did you decide to start the painting?

well i ignored the house and took my book out into the garden while its dry- ended up doing quite a bit of weeding etc so will be sore later on- might bring things along too!

stac good luck for tomorrow - so exciting.

becky good day for gardening

Well nothing happening for me here, but still 2 weeks off my official due date. MW tomorrow. Haven't done everything on my list, but house fairly clean and tidy. Am very proud of my organisation of our medical supplies into neat tupperware - I am getting a thing for plastic boxes - trying to organise the chaos. Going to have to go get dd soon - mamouth trip to nursery but worth it for the peace before I have to go get her.

New organised mum catalogue arrived - do I need the life book or the mini life book? Decisions decisions..

becky think we are all glad we're at the end of the journey, its the next part thats most exciting. Hopefully the weeding will kick start yours. Defo get a catch up when we're all sorted maybe we could find an aqua natal for babies thats central to the 3 of us x

How exciting MILC.
