**** April 2015 Mummies ****

Yeah they have done bloods and they have come back clear, which is good but I'm ++ on protein in my urine and bp keeps jumping up and down.

Thankfully baby is fine, just come off the trace, was plenty of movement so they are happy with that.

Just gotta give samples each time I pee so they can do something with it (measure and culture for 24 hours I believe, but not 100% on that). Unfortunately that means I'll prob be in for another night :-(

Xx
 
Hope you are ok Emmajaine.

I can totally relate Cossie everything feels so surreal to me at the moment and I can't quite get my head round in 6 weeks time at the absolute most I will be a mum. We booked our first family trip today to a log cabin up north for my OHs birthday in July...Its so strange to think it's for 3 of us. He was talking about taking his golf clubs to try squeeze a round in but don't think he realises there will be no space in the car for them anymore. And his aunt and uncle have emailed to say they are planning a trip to come meet baby in Sept so we have lots of exciting plans to be making.

Just watched OBEM and really wish I hadn't, the birth scenes were fine it was the young girls mum talking about her cancer and how she believed the baby was to bring happiness to the family again it was all too close to home and too raw for me just now. I really want a big bear hug from my uncle just one last time.
 
Argh! Good luck Kelly!

There aren't going to be any April mummies left by the time April comes along!
 
Good luck Kelly. Scary stuff!

Hope your blood pressure settles Emmajane.

We can only hope Rooster:) I've two weeks left and even though I'm so not prepared for labour or being a mum I can't bear the thought of going overdue.
 
Off to hospital in a little while, I went to bed hoping it was just very strong bh but no mistaking them now, I'm only 35 weeks so off to see if I can stop them.
 
Good luck at hospital Kelly. Hope they can stop your contractions for now.
 
Good luck Kelly!

I've not felt baby do her usual movements this morning and im slightly starting to panic. Ive felt her move but only little movements. Good job im at the fau this morning im just goin shop gonna get a cold bottle of fizzy pop and try that and lying on my side to get her to move around.
Really crappin myself now and I dont know why. Think im thinking the worst cuz of what my friend went through with her Lil boy x
 
Hugs emmalouise, I know its easier said but try not to worry, bubs picks up on your stress and will therefore move less to try and stop you worrying. What time you at fau?

X
 
11am but gonna go a bit earlier see if they can see me before 11.
Bumps gone hard having a Lil poke around see if can get her to move that way she normally pushes back if I do that lol.
Just when I have a decent nights sleep she decides to be lazy and put me in a panic x
 
I hope so. Im just bout to get Ollie ready to go then we'll be off to get the bus.
I'll keep you all updated as to whats goin on xx
 
Emmajaine if uve finally had a solid nights sleep then bubs probably has too. I occasionally get this n dont feel her til been up an hr or so. Try the drink method...u know wat works n wats normal for your bubs...

I woke up in agony at 1.30 had just dreamt my waters had broken (they hadnt but felt to b sure as dreams can b v realistic) then realised tummy felt all bruised. Had been sleeping on my bak so turned n omg the stitch like pain was all doen my rightside..cudnt move legs or back or breathe without it throbbing...tried rubbing in circles but that just woke her up n made her start to nudge n kick that area- ouch! Tried to change position but was effectively paralysed for about 30mins. Tried breathing techniques nothing worked. Was gonna wake OH n call doula it was that bad then eventually it wore off...cudnt sleep for ages tho n kept waking every 2hrs to turn over n c if it was better...anyone else have this? Wat do u think caused it?
 
Morning April mummies!!!

Can't believe em will be meeting her baby today!!! Can't believe we are only a week away from April!! I remember being in tri 1 thinking we had so much time to get everything prepared and put some money aside for while I'm on maternity leave etc and yet the last 9 months have flown by!! I honestly have no idea where they have gone!!

Has anyone heard from Kelly? Hope she's ok!! I think rooster might be right though, there really won't be any April babies at this rate!!! I think we've had as many births in March as the March mummies :lol: I'll be honest, I wouldn't mind being a March mummy or at the very least an early April mummy. I'm getting very uncomfortable now and Kind of want it over with. I keep having moments of 'I can't do this' and panicking and questioning about whether I'll even be a good mum. I hate that part of pregnancy!
 
I am absolutely exhausted had 3 hours sleep and falling asleep at my desk. I feel like I have a constant stitch in my back because of baby's position as well which is very uncomfortable sitting all day. Thankfully I only have today, Monday and Tuesday left.

I can't believe how impatient some of these April babies are and my LO is protesting their squatters rights refusing to head anywhere near the exit. I hope all you ladies being monitored are all doing well.
 
It is scarily close now! I just wrote my birth plan - 'get baby out' in my pregnancy notes. All my notes are about post-labour. Wanting skin-to-skin, establish breast feeding, husband to cut the cord and tell me babies gender etc.

We're finally going to get the nursery sorted this weekend! About ruddy time - i'm 36 weeks now and seriously need to do some nesting!

I have my (hopefully) final growth scan this afternoon. Hopefully, baby is growing nicely and still is head down. Then it is just a matter of waiting for things to get started. I, personally, am happy enough to be a May mummy :lol: I'm just not ready yet! Though, it would mean i'd be left all alone in here as you all wander off to the Baby & Toddler section!

I hope we hear from emmaxc, Em and Kelly today :-D
