Any September 2018 babies out there?

[littlemisssunshine81]

I’m due on 12th September and for the first time ever (this is baby #3 for me) I’m actually hoping for an early arrival! Partly because I’m proper exhausted (probably has more to do with 4&2yo boys but also I’ve somehow convinced myself that it’s ‘better’ if the baby gets into the earlier school year. This is probably so I don’t need to fork out for an extra year at nursery but at the moment I’m finding it hard to think straight about most things! Anyone else having the same thoughts? Also, whilst I’m keen for baby to be out I’m also sad that this is the last pregnancy so I feel like I should try and enjoy the last few days as much as possible! Argh I’m a bit of a mess at the moment!

I’m due 14th September day before my birthday! But I’m having a c section either 10th or 13th (will find out today) it’s my baby number 3 too! My girls are 3
And 5 :)
I finished work just in time for the summer holidays so I could spend time with my girls before arrival, originally I was going to work right up! I’m soooo glad I didn’t I’m shattered and so busy! All I seem to be doing around days out with the kids is the repeat house work cycle and getting nowhere fast worrying for the new arrival! My OH works long shifts so I’m practically doing everything alone as my family don’t bother much.
Like you I really want to enjoy this last pregnancy but it’s gone so fast and I’m so busy I dnt get a minute to think about it 😭haven’t even thought of names yet! Just to put the icing on the cake my now 3 yr old won’t go to bed and keeps getting up in the night screaming for me! God knows what I’m going to do next week when they’re back to school 🙈kinda dreading it all right now Cos I’m a fortnight I’m going to have 2 to get up and ready for school/nursery and two not sleeping through the night oh and I won’t be able to drive and we live in a village outside the main town! I’m going to be demented 😂😂 good luck with baby do you know if it’s a pink or blue? Xx

Aww hi ladies, I'm due 13th so three in a row! I was actually coming on to post a thread along the lines of 'AIBU to let my toddler watch twenty million hours a day of tv in my last few weeks?'!! (Which I know I'm not really but I still feel a bit bad). I can only imagine how it is waiting on your third and all the commitments you have to manage once babe is here.

Actually littlemiss, I tend to think the later at school the better, but I haven't had a kid at school yet so may change my mind. The cut off dates are different here in Scotland anyway, we'll have a dilemma with the first as you get to choose 4.5 or 5.5 start if they are born in jan or Feb. This one will be decided for us at least.

I've just started sleeping terribly after not bad sleep - feels like I was coping pretty well until this week and now I feel useless and exhausted

I came on to post about my threenager not sleeping but saw this and thought I’d drop a message 😁 I’m kinda glad my new baby will be one of the older in the school year they’re so little when they go anyways and I’ll get my nursery entitlement a bit earlier as my other two girls were born after Easter so I had no nursery entitlement until the September afterwards! I always liked being the older one in the school yr although
I dnt now Cos I’m almost a yr more ancient than a lot of my
Friends 😂😂😂

@merename I’m Scottish too 😊(but living in London) and I was always one of the youngest so maybe that’s why I’m biased towards that? I’m relying on TV soooo much right now. I had grand plans of day trips out with my boys all through the hols but I just can’t physically manage it!

@1borisbilly I feel for you! I’m the same constantly running in circles trying to keep the house tidy ‘just in case’ (whatever that means!). My OH actually runs his own business from home so in theory could be lots of help but isn’t being a tonne of help as he seems to be in a permanent state of ‘I can’t start anything in case baby arrives’ so at the moment we don’t even have a door on our bedroom and I’ve been on at him daily to get it done (we are at the end of a massive refurb/extension). If he’s not going to do anything useful id rather he was out! Same as you we don’t have any family help so I’ve had them ask a friend to be on call in case there’s a 2am dash to the hospital (which I feel bad about). I wonder if your 3yo just senses that things about to change and it’s making them more clingy (in the night time). I’m lucky for now my youngest is a great sleeper but my 4yo has always gets up and ends up sprawled across our bed...going to be tricky when baby is here!

Do you both know of it’s boy or girl? Surprise for us! X

My first baby is due on Friday (aug 31st) but I’m hoping to make it to September 1st so that they’re not the youngest! It’s a balance between wanting that and not wanting to go too far overdue though as I really want to avoid being induced.

I’m an August baby myself so hoping to give this LO a chance to be the oldest! Having said that, if I went into labour right now I would be excited...

My OH has his own business too and sometimes I dnt understand why he can’t arrange work around us and be more helpful he’s out early in the morning and home sometimes gone 8pm! When I had my last c section he had one day off when I got home then went bk to work! I know it’s hard being self employed and he does work hard but I dnt think he realises how hard it is being a working mum!
I think Darcie is being clingy because of what u said so I’d rather just let her sleep with me for now but he goes mad if I let her 😭 I hate it it’s causing so much stress!
We’re having another girl :) xxx

Look in the antenatal clubs for the September one it's on thread 4 now I think.
