the last month of pregnancy

[princesscupcakemummyb]

hi all i was wondering what everyone did in their last 4 ish weeks of pregnancy ive had 2 dc before and not ever planned anything and went stir crazy in the end esp as the last baby went 1 week overdue
now although this pregnancy has gone really quick i just want to make sure i dont get to bored

ive already finished the babys nursery
washed the babys clothes bedding and blankets

only have a few things left to do like get dh to assemble the babys bouncer and swing and need to charge my digital camera thats it arghh
i want to enjoy the rest of the pregnancy baby is due november 2nd

thanks all for reading my ramble lol :)

i am due 15th of october and i am bored. I may eat myself to death... i keep thinking 'only two more weeks' but i so know its really going to be closer to 4... watching with interest!

Can I join in the complaining! 3 weeks to go and feel like it is never going to end!

Had a pregnancy massage yesterday (which was bliss) and have 3 coffee with friends trips planned for the rest of this week but that still leaves soooo many hours a day to fill!

Just repacked hospital bag so is more organised.

If this baby goes overdue I will NOT be happy!

Hi OP ! I'm due November 3rd cannot wait, I'm so bored of waiting, I hve everything sorted (nearly) but nesting has gotten the better of me so far, since Saturday I have glossed all skirting's and door frames in my home, ordered a new living room carpet and cleaned in placed that haven't been done in yonks (kitchen cupboards that type of thing) I plan on glossing all doors this week, just trying to keep myself busy but also wanting to make sure everything is done for when baby arrives as it will be a while before I can be bothered to deep clean the home or redecorate DP worries I'm doing too much so I've stopped telling him everything I've been doing I know my limits!

Have you got your hosp bag ready? X

Hi everyone, can I join too? Due on 3rd Nov as well (Hi giant!) and so far not found the waiting tough, but given this is the last stretch that maybe well change. Feeling huge but still seeing friends and doing the last of the nct classes. Next up: labour music, baths, feet up, hypnobirthing cd, freezer food baking and Masterchef

I have a newborn here and had two months to kill... I made loads of freezer dinners .. So glad of them.. We just had stew.. Hassle free

I up cycled a wicker chair and few things.

I decluttered a lot of stuff... Maðe room for baby... Sorted out clothes to do while I lost weight.

Bought a label maker and white boxes.. Labelled 0-3. 3-6 month clothes for presents coming in.

Baked, went to library, coffee shops.. Got beauty treatments or did them myself.

Sorted out things for christening.

Cleaned, cleaned, cleaned again

Watched boxsets

Swam three to four times per week

Oh hello mustard how exciting do you know what your having? Oh that's a must I need to make up freezer food!! Thanks for the reminder x

hi greengiant aww yay 1 day after me you sound as if your keeping busy ohhh no i havent done my bag yet midwife told me to think about it soon so thats something to do i have all the contents to go in it though :) still to do my birth plan yet this baby is a planned home birth so hopefully i wont go overdue il be well miffed haha

WentOnABearHunt i feel for you fingers crossed you dont go over due

Smerlin i know how you feel just seems to many hours in the day to fill

mustardtomango hello these last weeks seem like their going to last for ever dont they i like the sound of the hypnobirthing cd good on you for planning things ive just gotta decide what to do in these final weeks said to my dh he can take me some where nice for a last meal on our own hehe thought id throw that one in plus gives me a excuse to eat chinease bad i know lol :) im going to keep an eye of my thread and hope ladies have lots of ideas on keeping busy we can all keep each other going till the end x

Brandnewmamma i like the idea of cooking meals up sounds like you did the right things in the end & congrats on the new baby

Giant, we're having a boy... So excited! Cute dinosaurs and safari animals everywhere! Dh literally can't wait till he's out so the playtime can begin

Princess, we totally did that 'last meal' thing too, only shame of it is that he doesn't like any space competition now so was a little battle to eat a whole good meal! Love him to death already but wasn't prepared to miss out on that one. Who knows how long it'll be before we go to a smart restaurant again

Watching with interest too! Due 1st Nov - and already spreading out the jobs I have to do before the baby arrives :-)

Due end of Oct but have a 2yr old DS who wants constant entertaining which is tricky as have SPD and feel crappy. Am so ready to have DS2 and move on with things. For those of you on DC1 make the most of time to yourself and being able to sleep,watch films etc would love to have that peace now!

I'm due on 5th November, baby 2. I've still got 7 shifts left to do at work so I'm counting those down before I can start counting down to the due date. A bit fed up of work now. When I went onto maternity leave last time, I had my hair done. People always want to take photos after baby is born so i thought at least my hair would look ok I tried to plan things to do like meeting friends. I went overdue by 9 days - I was convinced (hoped!) that everything I planned would have to be cancelled because I'd be in labour... This time around I'm planning to sort my hospital bag, probably clean...not sure what else so I'll keep an eye on this thread for ideas

I have been listening to my hypnobirthing cd too. .. although i fall asleep everytime I listen to it.... (although I always 'wake up' when it tells me too, which is odd!) I hope it is doing some good - I have no idea what is on the thing past about 10 mins in lol!!

I am a planned homebirth too, so really hoping I dont go over and have to be induced!

I have so far finished watching 'true blood' - I need a new box set to watch (especially of sitting feeding too!). Any recommendations for anything good?

My other two kids are both in school, so while it is nice to have some rest time during the day, its a bit quite!! Not that I am complaining, I am huge and shattered!! I am just so ready to have this baby now!!

That's so funny bear, I did exactly the same! Got to thinking, jeez that cd must be good...

SuffolkNWhat im exhausted alot esp with still bf dd2 whos nearly 2 but it comes to bedtime or i go try for a nap & i cant sleep i mean com on wats that about lol :)

im expecting a baby boy this time

sounds like i need to get this hypnobirthing cd asap

so work is keeping you busy for now Rubysmommy i like the idea about getting hair done and things for photos only issue for that with me is cause i went over due last time knowing my luck it wud be crappy looking before baby decides to show lol

sorry to hear about your spd candr :/ my oldest is in reception so at school all day my youngest is at home but shes so independent although im trying to get as much mummy/daughter fun time in with her now before the lil man arrives :)
