I heard bigger babies are better cause they cant go back in a little when pushing but smaller babies can? No idea of how true this is haha x

i hope this is true !! lol defo dont think im gonna have a small baby after what iv been told and the bloody size of me tummy lol xx

It is not. Most babies have an average head circunference. All babies go back in before crowning basically. The size depends on the length and how fat the body is.

It could be true. But nobody will ever know for sure as no two births are the same. Hehe

Woo hoo baby is head down first time so far, he was transverse at the last appt. hes still all curled up on my right though!

Just had to share...and hope he stays that way another 6 odd weeks!

Mw asked me to do a birth plan too...not to sure about that.

I downloaded the hipp one and pissed myself laughing at it...have any of you seen it? It asks about lighting, noise, music etc. I think my birth plan will be - do whatever is medically required and in both of our best interests! Bit brief but its too the point!

Start ante natal classes this week too

Xx

 

[Kelly450]

Yay! Fingers crossed he stays that way now I have never seen a birth plan.
I was just hoping to write on mine that I want to be left alone and helped when needed basically.. lol. I wont be writing anything about the lighting or music or anything. I might not want that on the day! Xx

Wow that sounds like a big groeth spurt but since you didn't gain a lot it doesn't sound bad at all

 

[Kelly450]

Yeh it still seems fairly good. No wonder ive had pains this week lol! Xx

Hey ladies, how are we all? Had commented earlier on Kellys thread that i am feeling really uncomfortable this week. Is this norm for this stage of pregs? I just feel abit icky, esp after eating. SPD is playing up bad today but think thats cos my long pillow for between legs fell onto floor while sleeping. Bump feels big, stretched beyond limits & hard. Not sure if its BHs never recognised having one before. Also been having short cramps along bikini line randomly though suspect it is wind (have loads of it all a sudden...lovely) generally feeling shite & cannot get comfy at all

Sorry rant over lol. Anyone else suffering? x

The only thing I can really relate to at the moment is the big stretched belly that feels ready to pop like a balloon! Oh and I also cant get very comfy! Ive had cramps for a few days but they dont seem too bad today!
Also it takes me so long in the day to get early. I seem to eat between 3 and 9pm but nothing for the other 18 hours.. :-S xx

I'm feeling sorry for myself this week. Bump has been rock solid and uncomfortable. It's really low too,so my under bump trousers for work were so uncomfortable today. But my over the bump skirt feels like it lacks support! Can't win!

I've got restless legs which I hate. And now I've got a cough. Heartburn. Constipation. And just generally exhausted. Three more weeks of work to go...

Whinge over (feels good to have a moan though!!)

Oh and I hate how my bones in my back crack if I move a certain way. Ouch it hurts!! And getting fed up of sleeping on my left (sleeping on right seems to give me more pain when I get up).

oh and also got told today to take cotton wool balls in and not baby wipes cuz the midwifes advise you not to use them as first its apparently easier to get the tar like poo off wit warm water and cotton wool xxx

midwife advised me to do a birth plan as well so im goin a day time birth plan class tomoz, its just for an hour but they tell ya everythin ya need to know to help ya decide how to plan. im just goin to learn about everythin during labour like what to expect pain wise n everythin. dont think im gonna put down what drugs i want cuz i wont know until the day but il be putting stuff like i want a pool birth n i want my fella with me at all times. i recommend goin to one of these classes if you avnt got a clue and its your first baby i start antenatal classes in another week too heard these are really useful even if it not your first xx

I started my bag. Still need pjs, fan, drinks and snacks.

Generally they prefer you to use water and cotton wool. A tip to get the first poop off is to put vaseline on their bum before they do it.

I think the midwife dealt with my daughters first poo last time as I was so ill after birth.

I found I didn't need a fan last time, but the ward is insanely hot, and I'm dreading it being August. Whats this magicool spray?

I'm going to pack things I can eat quicker between contractions this time. I had all cereal bars last time and couldn't eat a bite fast enough between contractions and then having to spit it out in favour for gas and air! Will have to have a think. I think maybe milky ways might be good.

Hi Charlotte. I have to admit that it is night time when im at my worst. Well, evening. . I get slight swelling but not too bad. But my tummy is much worse in the evening. I have to not drink too much. But I have always drank a lot in one day. Even water makes it bad
Ah im sure you wont mind the tea. I had the first one on saturday night and it wasnt as bad as most flavoured tea. Was £1.99 from tesco. Mine are not as bad today. Im wondering whether the twa caused my cramps because it hurt after that and for a while but has been okay today! Just had a headache all day today though and little man is a right mover!
Still not finished my hospital bag cause I feel its too early haha! But I suppose really it could happen at any time! I have plenty of cotton wool balls but also baby wipes. I use baby wipes for me anyway lol. I love using them! So ill be taking both. Xx
