Early Oct Babies Part 9

[Treaclepie19]

Another thread!! 😊 Come on babies, we're ready for you ❤

Thanks for keeping on the ball @Treaclepie19. Ahhh defo baby thread!!! Oh @MrsK89 that's sounds promising! I'm opposite, feel he's out my pelvis and just floating around eh sorry stampeding around my tummy area 😂. Hope you have good house news soon girls, fingers crossed 🤞. With regards to lockdown, we aren't allowed anyone in our house yet I drove by a pub coming home from lunch with girls and no joke it was jumping! Feel so sorry for catering industry as they seem to have been hit much harder with rules in restaurants than pubs. So screw them, we should not have to be alone. Was raging after witnessing that! That's the snuzpod up and I absolutely love it. Won't attach till bed due to toilet trips but will do next wknd. Car seat ordered, baby brain me forgot about the stokke travel system I purchased lol so had to be be safe so that's done. So await that, install car seat and that's pretty much me xx

Thanks for the new thread @Treaclepie19

One baby so far and lots more to come on this thread hopefully ❤️

Me and DH just had a big row, I'm unsure if it was me and my hormones or his fault. Going to have tea then disappear out with the dog to calm down 😒

@blankiesandunicorns ahh hope you are OK. Good idea going for a walk and have a bit of space. Could be hormones, but partners should really expect it and take it easy on us x

@Treaclepie19 thank you for making the new thread .

If a new lock down happens - those that need child care do what’s best for you and your child. People break it constantly In my area - neighbours Constantly breaking it.

My mil wants me to make a nappy caddy for her house and provide her with a changing mat - which has gotten me in a huge argument with my dh as a few weeks ago I mentioned to her - does she want any of the baby stuff around hers and she said no she doesn’t have space ( she said it in a super rude way )- I was just trying to be nice and include her ). Even though all the other grandchildren have a drawer and other bits bobs around Dhs parents house . Told him he can provide her with whatever she wants as she was sooo rude to me a few weeks ago . Today she also had a go at me because we brought everything for the baby and she wanted to buy something- dh asked his parents if they wanted to buy something they said no. I reckon they feel my parents one up them as they brought a few big ticket items for us. (On my side I’m the first to have a child so everyone is so excited ) okay rant over feel a little better !

I’m officially on maternity leave - plan is tomorrow wake up early - wash bedding - go for a walk Around the park and then clean and hoover the house . What’s everyone’s plans ?

@blankiesandunicorns hope you're ok and whatever happened gets sorted.

Just got the worst spd this afternoon nearly been in tears. I'm worried about how giving birth will be with the spd as it's so painful as it is.

I'm so tired recently but unable to sleep and once I do sleep constantly woken up by heartburn or needing a wee. Just feeling a bit fedup x

@blankiesandunicorns that's frustrating 😕 I have been extremely hormonal for the past week or so - late pregnancy is tough. But don't feel like it's all on you - my husband is definitely still doing things to wind me up!

@Zaalfruit eh, does she realise you're due imminently!? Bit late to be asking what you still need for the baby, really!

I've been doing a lot of nesting around the house. I have my 38 week growth scan and consultant appointment on Tuesday. I'm basically going to the appointment prepared in case they keep me in and induce me, which was mentioned last time. So feeling pretty anxious for that.

We will be fine I'm sure and I probably am quite short sometimes but Iv been painting our stairs all day and think I'm tired too. I can't see me being much better once baby is here il still be tired and hormonal 😂

@AutumnBabyWinterMummy try not to worry too much. I had awful spd with ds1 (and this time) and didn't even notice it in labour. Not sure if the water helped but I laboured for ages before I got in so it definitely wasn't an issue.

Hope all goes well tomorrow @otterbaby. I should have been seeing my consultant Wednesday for my 38 week appointment and to discuss induction but cancelled it. Not sure that was wise but I really didn't want an induction so there we go 🙈

@otterbaby I have my scan Thursday and worried they might want to induce me too. Horrible isn't it. Try not to worry about it til it's here though that's what I'm telling myself

@Treaclepie19 thank you for that. Giving me some hope x

@Treaclepie19 also did yours go as soon as you gave birth? I know for some it does and others it doesn't

Pretty much! It was nowhere near as bad and then it had gone pretty much before I knew it. None of the struggling to turn over in bed and things.
Try not to worry ❤

@MrsK89 hope that's a sign things are moving for you!!

@CharlieBalf I believe my baby will be a late one! Think because we were all 2 weeks late I just presume mine will be too.

@Treacle81 we arent attached the crib until baby is here either, looks so awkward to get in and out of bed doesnt it!

@Zaalfruit your MIL sounds like a right pain right now. Makes you wonder if you're going mad when people change their mind on a previous conversation! Hope you can enjoy the start of your maternity leave along with the jobs.
My DH made it clear to my MIL on the phone the other day that he didnt want her turning up outside hospital or at home and he would let her know etc. Next day on a family zoom chat she says to me "were you aware/there when DH said that."... I dont really know what she expected me to say! Yes I was and he is right haha

@AutumnBabyWinterMummy sorry you are in so much pain, it really does sound awful. I hope baby doesnt keep you waiting.

@blankiesandunicorns hope you feel better after your walk. Its definitely a highly charged hormonal time right now. Tiredness also makes everything worse.

@otterbaby hope your appointment goes well this coming week. At least you should have a better idea of what's happening going forward.

Lol about mils. I have tried my whole pregnancy to ignore her odd behaviour but today it really upset me. She also requested I call her first before my mother when I go into labour . @LexiM my mil told me to have lots of snacks and drinks in the house for guests - I told dh - why will we be entertaining people to see the baby with a virus going around and it’s rude to visit in the first few weeks....

I feel bad for everyone that has spd
Must be so painful - I am in so much pain now and I can’t imagine what it must feel like for you .

This baby of mine looks like she has no plans of coming out anytime soon.

Anyone that’s having arguments with dhs and partners it’s partly our hormones - I feel
On edge 24/7.

@otterbaby hopefully you get a better idea after your appointment.

@Zaalfruit I really dont understand why anyone thinks they have the right to demand you tell them when you are in labour, I really dont get it. We are only telling my mum because shes taking us to hospital, I've made it clear I dont need anyone else knowing. Even without Covid it isn't your job to serve and entertain guests when you've had a newborn! Rolls eyes 😂 I haven't even got snacks for us let alone anyone else... I really should get some as I would be disappointed if I went into hospital without anything for after.

@Treaclepie19 @LexiM @Zaalfruit thank you ❤️ just having a bad day with it, it should be better by tomo.

And anyone who's having a bit of an up and down time with partners, I've just come to bed partly because I'm done with pain for the day but I went in the lounge and asked dp if he was feeling a bit lonely seen as I'd spent the afternoon trying to ease my pain lying on the bed and does he want me to come sit with him for a bit. He said no he's fine and just didn't seem bothered about me deciding to go to bed and that we hadn't really had any time together today. So then I got a bit fedup with him and he got fedup with me and now I'm in the bedroom feeling pretty sorry for myself. Sounds ridiculous when I say it out loud 😂 feel like because he hasn't wanted sex since maybe about 25 weeks after he saw her on a private scan he says it's purely cos he doesn't want to have sex knowing his daughter is in there but because of that I'm just extra sensitive now thinking that's not the true story and actually he's not finding me attractive especially with this ridiculous spd which leaves me sometimes hobbling around like an old lady. Sorry for the rant 😂 x

@Zaalfruit and forgot to say on my post, why would you call her before you call your own mum?! Like she must know that's a really ridiculous thing to say. I'll call my mum only because I'll either be so excited or freaking out I'll just want a quick word with her, and if dp tells him mum that's fine but I won't actively be ringing anyone else other than my own mum!! 🤦‍♀️ x

I also have my scan on Tuesday @otterbaby 38 weeks yesterday.
My countdown is saying less than 2 weeks, feels crazy!

Been super busy today, 2 Christmas cakes baked today and they take 4 hours each to bake. Also went and collected a second hand bed for my DSD in really good nick, saved us a ton of money. She is happy so all good!
My DH has been sorting out his shed and the back garden so I don't break my neck when I go outside to the bin, also gives me a small enclosed laundry area near to the kitchen which will make my life easier.

My mum is coming on Wednesday and is planning to stay until after baby is here. So that will be good. She also is worried I'm doing too much which maybe is how I got this UTI? 2 days of antibiotics so far and seems to have definitely helped.

I've officially got 5 full syringes of colostrum now. Which is more than I ever expected.

Got that stupid baby steps course tomorrow, I resent the hour and a half I have to sit there and listen to things that would of been useful to know at 12 weeks or even 20 weeks pregnant... 38 weeks not so much.
My new carpet arrives on Tuesday afternoon, so tomorrow will be me emptying my 2 book cases.... so busy day ahead.

@AutumnBabyWinterMummy my DH has had exactly the same attitude to sex, saying it makes him feel weird knowing the baby is in there. I've felt the same as you, worried it's because he's not attracted to me now and I've felt rejected at times. It's probably exactly as he says but I could do with some ego boosting compliments to make me feel better 😣

@Zaalfruit wow your mil sounds super unreasonable. That would totally upset me. Well done if you can let it wash over you. You should be thinking about yourself when you go into labour not phoning other ppl or which order they think you should do that in and any visitors should be bringing you food not the other way around. My only gripe with in-laws is that we told them early on we only wanted to acquire essential things for baby because the amount of stuff you acquire is so overwhelming and we had all the clothes we needed from my friend, but they have ignored us and given us loads of giftboxes of pressies. I'll try to shut up 😂

Thanks for wise words from all talking about lockdown, makes me feel much better to think I won't be the only one possibly flouting some rules. My parents have travelled 5 hours and paid for a weeks accommodation to help me out while I'm alone it would be really frustrating to have them so close and not be able to see them or accept any help. One of my neighbours ignored lockdown all the way through and they're all pretty nice so hopefully would not want to grass on me.

Morning all! Currently in triage on the monitor. My waters started leaking this morning so woke up to lots of pink when u went to the toilet.
Just crampy but not much else to report yet. Exactly the same as her brother except a few days later. I was 37+3 when they broke with him. 37+5 now.

(Can confirm ordering a new fridge freezer is a good way to tempt fate)

@Treaclepie19 oh wow! How exciting!! Will be thinking of you today, let us know when you can ❤ Noted on the fridge freezer front if this little one keeps me waiting...

Amazing @Treaclepie19 good luck and keep us posted x

@Treaclepie19 good luck and excited for you xxx keep us posted if you can !!

I need to order something - if this one keeps me waiting - fridge freezer or new wadrobes?

Deffo my mil treats me so odd - ever since we got married in 2018 - she just assumes I will listen to her and that her word is the law . She also does fake crying - I always say it to dh here come the tears . For dh his mothers behaviour is normal so he doesn’t see it - but I do .

@AutumnBabyWinterMummy And @BettyBotter1

• I understand what you mean about dh /dp and sex . Dh has the same attitude!! I saw on Facebook where a woman was saying she is tired of having sex once a week - I just thought for a second I wish had that problem . I asked dh let’s try the old wives tale sex induced labour and he goes err no that’s disgusting 🤪 I will know that you gave birth because I poked around inside you .

Ahhhh exciting times @Treaclepie19 😀. I slept around 5 hours so can't complain much. Had those period type cramps again through the night, again not lasting long but sore enough to wake me. Still got this damn cold! So planning on not doing very much today. Ordered peri bottle, baby bath, groegg nightlight/thermometer, nappy sacks and baby swaddles. That's everything checked off ✅ xx
