That will be hard to say for me. I came only 6 days early but as I'm an identical twin 6 days early is quite late. I'm hoping for 38 weeks as that will work out well with OH's holiday (company will be closed for 2 weeks).
Let's hope we won't all wait till week 42! xx

 

[Kelly450]

Yeh that does sound late for twins. Must have been comfy in there I think it would be lovely to all have 38 week babies lol. What are the chances eh? Xx

My last shift will just as busy as normal and a few of my colleagues have wednesdays off, so I wont be seeing many of them again now for a long while.
Certainly could be doing other things with that money! I could not sort that sort of money out so frequently at the moment.
Hope you have a gd appointment tomoro and your measuring well . My next mw app is 4th july and I have whooping cough jab on monday!
I dont actually like quiet days at the moment. And yes I even feel him at work for the last week and half or so. He has been ridiculously active! Lol
So much so that I really worried about him yesterday. On Sunday, he was very quiet, and by sunday night didnt move at all, didnt move at all Monday morning or while I was at work and decided to act on it when I got home if he still hadnt moved about. Luckily, got home and OH put his hand on my belly and LO kicked him away! Lol
Was very relieved. Think he changed position cause its very heavy at the front of my belly atm xx

Yes it's not nice to have quiet days when you're getting worried about it. Happily he is moving a lot again!
My bump was a bit more quiet today but still quite busy. Not as much as the 2 days before as that really turned my stomach upside down.
Hope you will enjoy your last working day and they won't let you work too hard! xxx

According to these numbers it's quite possible. These are number without inductions though:

Percentage of babies born at 35 weeks: 1.3%
Percentage of babies born at 36 weeks: 3.1%
Percentage of babies born at 37 weeks: 6.3%
Percentage of babies born at 38 weeks: 13.3%
Percentage of babies born at 39 weeks: 26.1%
Percentage of babies born at 40 weeks: 31.3%
Percentage of babies born at 41 weeks: 16%
Percentage of babies born at 42 weeks: 2.5%
Percentage of babies born at 43 weeks: 0.2%

So let's hope for the 13.3% xx

Hello ladies sorry not been on much been so tired past few days
Lydia Lovely to hear from you hunny nice holiday by sounds of things - more money with car though hunny not good
Kelly last day tomorrow woo you must be sooooooooo excited.

afm - had busy weekend at house with builder - leaks all fixed, walls all plastered just waiting on decorator to start on Thursday for week and half. .Since seeing mw last week and her saying Moo was small etc i have tried to eat more and rest well............. i now cant stop eating, have such an appetite the past few days
i think shes having a growth spurt although dont they go quiet coz shes soooooo active.
i am addicted to pasta and salad at minute. my appetite has really grown and now worried i am going to be massive
i am now 12 stone 10! started at 10 stone 6 i am 5ft 7 and never been fat but starting to notice how big my bump is and my face is getting fat!
oh well if moo is growing all good

So i think I finish work next Friday ekkk! although now not sure i am ready, i will only be 33.5 weeks! am i bailing out too soon?
i might do another 2 weeks but WFH for few days a week
Just dont want to sit at home bored although have so much to do .

wfh tomorrow as its going to be hot! and i didnt fancy commute

hows everyone today/xxxx

Hi Nicky! How are you doing? It's great that most of the things in your house are done already. Not long before you can start decorating the baby room
Don't worry about having such an appetite, I'm currently eating everything I can find but it should be okay as long as you make sure you eat healthy things as well to get your daily vitamin intake. Will probably regret it after baby is born

Not long to go now before maternity starts! I'm sure you will find enough things to do the last few weeks. Otherwise you can talk on the forum all day xx

 

[Kelly450]

Could certainty be part of the 13% xx

[Heres Hoping]

Hello ladies, how are we all doing? Glowing i hope lol. Had a mw appointment this week, they did a quick scan of bubs & say he/she is 4lb 2oz! Im pretty shocked, thought that sounded abit big for 31 weeks.....ekk! Has anyone else been given estimated weights at this stage? I know its only estimation but if right means im on route for an 8-9 pounder. I just assumed id have a little one x

 

[SpinSugar]

I've not been given a weight estimation and I doubt I will as I'm not due for any more scans.

What a HOT day, I'm rarely affected by heat but its been so close today I've really felt it. Couldn't breathe earlier and had bubbly lungs! I'm now doing job 2 in a supermarket and at least its cool!

Feeling the effects of a ten hour day so far...still another 4.5 H to go

Xx

 

[Kelly450]

Oo a 8-9 pounder will be a beauty. cant say as I have had a weight estimation either and don't see that I will get one as I have only mw apps left n no scans.

Today was hot! Just got home from my last day at work. Work in a supermarket and it was BOILING! XX

[charlotte89]

hi girls how is everyone not been on for a few days!! the weight estimates are usually done from your scans or you can ask your midwife to tell you off ya measurements , thats what i do anyway. on my 31 week appointment lil man was weighing 4lb 7 so she said xx

 

[Kelly450]
