Hey ladies I need cheering up, DH is being a grumpy git and is taking it out on me I know he wants the baby to arrive so he can be on pat leave but SO DO I he hung up on me earlier (he had called me ) and I felt like crying. I think he?s got bored of looking after me now I?ve been the model wife too ? I?ve sorted out our finances for the month (not an easy feat I can tell you ) and he?s had dinner on the table when he gets home every night since I?ve been off and his breakfast made and a packed lunch. I slept really badly last night, woke up worrying about induction and I am feeling a bit sensitive today. The pains I normally wake up with under my bump have persisted today and I have cramping ? I had hoped that was a sign but there are no contractions and nothing else to indicate that things are kicking off. Sorry for the moan, just feeling a bit lonely will stop whining and see what you lot have been saying
Rainbowdays ? MN is better than any soap isn?t it?
Hey Minxi ? I am sorry I haven?t ?spoken? to you for so long and am sorry to hear that you won?t be joining us quite yet but I?ve got my hopes pinned on you and the others being here with us soon, please send my love to them x
Bodkin bring on that full moon ohhhh that?s tonight! Mind you, that might mean that they close the labour ward again and send ladies to some weird place West of here! I?d kind of like my baby to arrive on Friday now so that she/he can share a birthday with Rabbie Burns, I think that would be quite special being a Scot (hopefully) going up abroad! ?. I could have a ?wee, sleekit, cowrin, tim'rous beastie?of my own (ok, he was talking about a mouse not a baby but hey ho!)
Thanks Honeyapple that makes me feel better that was two great sleeps for Dex hope he keeps it up! 11 weeks, wow!!
Seaside ? that?s funny, those pains sound like mine! let?s hope they are doing something hey? your baby sounds like it feels similar to mine and mine is on the left side but what I feel on the right is the bottom, so often two hard lumps either side of the middle. Where do you feel hiccups? I think the car seat is meant to go behind the passenger seat because the seat in front needs to be quite far forward. In fact, I found that out this morning on a really useful SMA nutrition DVD about caring for your newborn, it was hosted by Kirsty Alsop so I am aware that you will either love or hate her if you?d like the SMA number to call for one, let me know.
Thanks Fettle for your warmth in remembering Ava it means a lot to me. I am finding the whole memory hard as I discovered around this time last year that I was pregnant and all the cramps etc are reminding me of losing her. Is that ridiculous? Xx I enjoyed the first part of Messiah but haven?t seen the second part yet as DH was out playing football last night. I take it it?s your birthday on 27/1 hon?
Hey Chooster
Hey Firsty
Oh Rah nice to see you hon, I so hope things go well for you this cycle. How is the new house?
Iampg hang in there ? I?m sure my baby is actually an elephant the time it?s taking to cook! Quite natural to pee a lot at the stage you?re at, it?s your body getting rid of some of the excess fluid as not so much liquor is needed now the sweep on your due date could be a plan but remember that if your waters break as a result, and they do rarely apparently, that could lead to an induction if labour doesn?t kick off within a couple of days. I had one at 40+2 though and it was fine (though it clearly didn?t work as I am still here but I was ?susceptible?) sounds good that they offer regular sweeps. I would have liked to have another sometime between last week?s appointment and this week?s. I am hoping to persuade her to do one then, monitor the baby again and then let me come in again say the following Weds for another sweep and more monitoring before booking me in for an induction. It?s against hospital policy to let you go more than 12 days over your EDD but I plan to argue that my EDD should actually have been 3 days later based on OV and the early scans and play for time that way, providing the baby is ok of course. I am feeling inspired by my NCT pal today she had her baby last night finally, she was due on 6/1 but managed to hold out and go naturally. Yup still injecting daily but it is getting harder as the skin on my tummy is so tight. I?ll have to inject for 6 weeks after the birth too but I?ll have lots of flab then to hold on to and stab no doubt. I decided to try out the breast pump again today (having read on lots of lots of sites that it was a great way to go into labour) but I didn?t latch it on properly and it took off some of my skin so sore, so hear I am with nipple issues before my baby even gets here. Got more stiff but am not so worried about that now, I?ll make more not sure I have the stomach for the Guinness!! (or the curry)
Greedy I am currently re-reading The Baby Whisperer, I think I am going to give it a go, it makes a lot of sense (in theory to my inexperienced self!) all your babies are GORGEOUS and Marcy is soooo cute can?t wait to see what my baby looks like! There was a baby who was 6 weeks in the café that I met my two also overdue and fed up friends in yesterday and she had the most hair I had ever seen, jet black ? soooo gorgeous I?m dying to know if my baby has DH?s almond eyes, they are really prevalent and distinctive in his Mum?s family and if Beanie is a boy, I hope he has his Daddy?s big toes because I think they are cute
My Money is on Beansprout?s baby coming first by the way ? all the best for tomorrow Beansprout, we?ll be thinking of you
