October Mummas To Be

[Markygirl1995]

Hey girls, couldn't see a thread for mums due in October so thought I'd start one as it's October tomorrow!! Anyone had their baby yet or due due soon? I'm due on 17th can't work out if he'll be late or early 😓

I'm due on the 21st with my 2nd baby boy! So excited xx

I’m due on 26th with first baby!
Just want him here now apparently he’s a very large baby! Xx

I no I had a scan on Friday and mine was 7 pound already! My 1st was 8 lb 12 so I'm hoping no bigger lol xx

I’m due on the 15th...can’t wait to not be pregnant anymore!

Sophwalms - I had my scan last Thursday, he was measuring nearly 8lb! I could even see fat rolls on the screen lol.
They are starting to worry me with undignosed GD but not testing me for it.

Mrsmarmite - wow you haven’t got long now! Hopefully anytime lol

@Sophwalms @Babynumberonexx I dread to think how much mine is weighing at the moment 😳 admittedly I haven't exactly been eating healthy 😳👀

Guilty I haven’t either! Been told to cut down on the sugars until next scan.
Can’t believe I’ve been put on a pregnancy diet lol

@Markygirl1995 me neither never mind! October looks like a boy month! I'm so impatient bought my birthing ball! Last time a curry and clary sage oil in my bath my waters broke about 5 minutes me getting into the bath xx

Ooo never heard of the sage oil where do you get that? I want some lol was you early with your first baby?

I'm due tomorrow. Come on baby! So uncomfortable :(

I’m due on the 12th of October. I’m counting down the days for him to come. I had thought to myself that he was coming last week but now I’m think he’s going to hang in there til after my due date. Is anyone else getting a really itchy belly now at the end?

I’m not due till 30th 😫 fed up now & praying he comes abit earlier, was measuring well over the line at 32 weeks. Scan tomorrow so will see how big he is 😰 hope not too big lol!

@Babynumberonexx you can buy it from holland and Barrett or amazon. Just put about 10 drops in the bath. My waters broke 39+5 but I had my him after a 4 day labour lol it was hell! So I'm nervous about this labour but it can't get any worse than last time. I'd use the oil again from 38 weeks xx

@autumn28 I still have just under 4 weeks and my belly is so itchy, especially around belly button.

@gemmamarie92 let us know how the scan goes! The same is happening with me but I don’t think I’ve helped with how much food I’ve eaten this pregnancy lol

@Babynumberonexx I think these last 2 weeks will be the equivalent of 2 years!

@Sophwalms currently sat on my birthing ball as we speak haha! I've just moved into a new build and believe it or not but something is always found broken mine happens to be the bath plug 😒 I'd love to of tried the clary sage though! Does anyone think there bumps have dropped??

I wish mine had dropped but I’ve no idea! How do you actually know when it’s dropped does it just look lower ? My bump is huge has been from the start feel like a whale
I feel sick all the time it’s really annoying me I had sickness till over 20 weeks then it went now it’s back been back for 2 weeks now , anyone else ??!! I’m 36 weeks now
Can’t eat a lot because of it just don’t feel hungry and feel bad on baby if I don’t eat 😖

Hi I'm due on the 16th October with a baby boy, but have a planned csection on Wednesday! Very nervous but extremely excited to meet our little man now. Had the steroid injections on thurs & fri and had a reaction but its safer as i will be 38+1 when i have him. Hope everyone has a good last few days/weeks x

Omg I’ve been wondering the same thing whether bump has dropped or not. I feel massive, it’s not just my belly either, I think I’ve gained atleast 3 stone 🙈 don’t judge lol.
Quick questions - anyone of you with apparent big babies been tested for GD - gestational diabetes by any chance? I’m freaking out because I haven’t

@Babynumberonexx have you had the test at all? Everyone had to have one at 26/28 weeks I thought

I’ll join too! DC2 is due on the 6th. DD arrived on her due date so hoping this one will arrive early. So tired of not being able to do anything because of sore hips and tiredness. Pretty sure the baby hasn’t dropped but I think a lot of second babies don’t drop in the same way as first ones.

@markygirl1995 nope I haven’t! Going to push for one tomorrow.
Fingers crossed.

Also due on 12th @Autumn28 and feeling very ready after finishing work on Friday! Time to start on the curries and clary sage oil this week. Can't quite get my head around that fact it could be another 4 weeks if baby decides to stay put... Just can't wait to find out what we're having now either!

Also, anyone planning on using a TENS machine and have you tried it out?
