Due on the 25th and have a sneaky feeling that baby may come early. Currently using the birthing ball. Need to purchase some raspberry leaf tea.

Thank you Rock.
Aww it’s nearly your little one’s first birthday. Cake
I know I can’t wait to have our baby with us this Christmas. All my other babies were born immediately after Christmas (Jan, Feb, March), so this baby won’t be trying to get up to mischief and will be happily having cuddles/milk Grin

How is everyone sleeping atm? I miss sleeping on my front and being able to roll over easily Sad 37 weeks on Saturday. I'm torn between wanting the baby out now but also not being quite ready Grin

I miss sleeping all the way through the night 😫 having to keep getting up for the loo. I can lay a tad on my front but not for long as i haven't got a big bump, rolling around is doing my head in as i find it hard.

Poptart4 · 23/08/2018 14:02

It was this time last year i had my coil taken out so i could start ttc. I feel like ive blinked and a year has disappeared!

Another 5/6 weeks for me and im torn between wanting baby out and wanting time to slow down a little as i dont feel like ive had enough time to mentally prepare.

I start maternity leave next Friday. Cant wait. I havent slept well in weeks so im looking forward to afew lie in's :)

I was still on the pill. My last period was end of October. Didn't have one November or December. Couldn't believe it

funinthesun18 · 23/08/2018 14:47

I can’t sleep very well at night because I can’t get comfortable and then heartburn will set in too.
Went to see the midwife today and baby isn’t engaged yet but she’s shot up a centile (90th now) 😂 I don’t have GD as far as I know and there was no glucose in my urine. She’s just going to be a big one I think!

funinthesun18 · 23/08/2018 14:48

No I had some dinner xxx

funinthesun18 · 23/08/2018 14:49

^ Oops that was meant to be a text message for my partner! 😂 Baby brain.
Oh my god I can’t believe I just did that.

Halfeatentoast · 23/08/2018 19:17

I'm 37 weeks tomorrow. Child no2. Due 14th September. I'm so fed up already! Uncomfortable ALL the time!

Halfeatentoast · 23/08/2018 19:18

fun it could have been so much worse! Either telling them off or sweet nothings- you got away lightly!

Halfeatentoast I know it could have been really embarrassing! Grin He was just asking me if I wanted an early tea so that was my response. Not very interesting thank god!

OliveOrTwist · 23/08/2018 21:23

Toast You're due a day before me Smile

I think I'm getting another cold! Pregnancy has killed my immune system. So im hoping baby sits tight so i can get this out of my system.

ichifanny · 24/08/2018 09:05

I’m 36 weeks now really struggling to sleep at night , keep falling asleep and waking up gasping for breath as I’ve rolled onto my back like I have sleep apnoea or something , baby still breech too , had my last midwife appointment and she gave me my ranitidine and paperwork for my c section in 13 days .

Halfeatentoast · 24/08/2018 18:13

I've got a cold too Olive. It's horrid to be ill when pregnant.
ichi do you get to have a nap during the day to catch up a bit?
How do you feel about the c section?

Halfeatentoast · 24/08/2018 18:14

My friends who had c sections recovered very quickly btw, in case you worried.

Just had 2 bouts of diarrhoea so wondering if this might be the start - suspect not though!

ichifanny · 24/08/2018 23:17

This is my third section so a complete pro at it but still not looking forward to feeling like I can’t move for days , thanks for asking halfeatentoast, xx

OliveOrTwist · 25/08/2018 14:53

This will be my third one toast and the last 2 totally wiped me out. So far I'm not in full blown cold mode so fx it cones to nothing and goes away!

How are you today orphan ?

Exhausted here too but can't fall asleep if U try to nap

Yourenotcrazyitsyourmother · 25/08/2018 15:07

Me too. Am 35 + 1, and am so fed up with this pregnancy. Have been in and out of hospital with perinatal depression, until they sorted my medication which seems to be working now. This is my third so I’m desperately hoping I go early. Consultant has booked a section for 39 +6 🙄🙄 so I can have a go at a natural birth (last 2 were induction and then section) but I’m not sure I can wait that long...

orphanblack1 · 25/08/2018 17:58

Def wasn’t labour!!!

I’m booked for a section on 12 sept but not yet sure it’s what I want
