***April 2019 Mamas***

2 weeks at work after this one and cant come soon enough! Honestly dont know what I was thinking working this late. Not sleeping well at all with my restless legs. Think chopping them off is a bit dramatic?? Lol Hope all you mamas are keeping well xx

I feel exactly the same! Just finishing work now at 37+6, last few weeks have killed me off! I’ve had terrible restless legs too also feel like just chopping them off lol, I think eating bananas and pineapple seems to help mine a bit aswell as continuing with the pregnancy vitamins, I had heard it can be associated with low iron but my iron levels at 28 wk appointment came back fine so they haven’t tested them again x

Congratulations Mlbaby.

We’re doing grand - little man is feeding so well! He much prefers my right breast so we’re working at getting better on the left - but he’s certainly not missing out - he just eats and eats all day!! He’s 11 days old today - so we’re being handed over to the health visitor today. He’s going to be weighed again this morning - I’m sure he’s put on weight as I think he’s looking fuller in the face already! The time has absolutely flown!

Someone mentioned having a stretch and sweep that didn’t hurt - during my induction I had 3 and they were so intense and the worst pain ever - so much worse than pushing and contractions!!!! But hey ho, that’s just me haha.
Can’t wait to see everyone’s precious babies make an appearance. xxx

I will give bananas and pineapple a shot - thanks. I have tried tonic water and stretches but nothing seems to work. My iron was ok but B12 low but thats normal for me and I get injections. Never had this last time round.
I am off work today so have just put a big washing on with Lil misses clothes and muslins etc. Better get a bag packed just in case x

Sounds like he is doing fab. Well done you.
I had a few sweeps as was very overdue with my son and they were mostly fine. Then my final one at the hospital was the most painful, even burning experience EVER!! Oscar was still 2 days to make an appearance though!

Bananas definitely work for restless legs!

So... Just got back from the hospital as they needed to see me due to being diagnosed with gestational diabetes late. They've prescribed me Metformin to take over the weekend to manage my insulin levels and have booked me in for induction on Monday!!! I'm so excited!!!

My little man arrived on Tuesday at 10.39am during my elective section Finley weighed in at 8lb 3oz and is absolutely beautiful

Aww congratulations to you all xxx

 

[Mummymoreton]

Good luck with your last day night owl!! Well done for making it this far haha! I have been off work for 3 weeks now its flown. I don't think I could have worked any longer. I seem to fill up my days just fine I'm so busy!!!
Sounds like your getting on great jomo! Can't believe he's 11 days old already it does fly by hey!?
Raining flowers that's so exciting! I bet you feel relieved!
Nothing exciting here had some repeat bloods for this pregnancy itching yesterday they say I am borderline pregnancy cholestasis. Never had it before! They aren't doing anything though! I have a scan on Tuesday and they want to see if they think it's possible to brake my waters too. Consultant said if they think it is they will book me in next week for induction but I don't think they will be able to. My babies never come easy they need full induction. I have my section booked for 2 weeks today if next week not successful xxx
