*****December Babies*****

[Bliss days]

Hi
Back and just had to catch up on about 6 pages! Feel like I have missed out on a good night chatting. Sorry.
I hope everyone is ok. It is really hard having to be patient and wait. It's always the not knowing that is so hard. From that perspective I completely understand why some people choose an elective c section so they know their date! We are all just hanging! I really don't want a January baby either but trying to convince myself that's what it will be so I don't feel too disappointed and a dec birth would be a bonus!
Sosie, don't worry about after the birth. Try focusing on the positives of having your LO. I do understand completely thou and feel the same. I worry that I'm not going to cope and OH and I will argue and it will be a nightmare. But I try to tell myself that it is unnecessary worrying as we can't predict what will happen but we can try to prevent negative feelings by staying calm Etc. I know this sounds like I have swallowed a self help book but I need to keep telling myself these things to keep me sane and if it helps anyone else then that's great!
I really hope things kick off for some of you soon. Fx their is a labour thread coming up in the next day or two!
I'm off to the in laws tomorrow but will try and link up to stay in touch.
Thinking of you all. Xx

Dani that's rubbish for you I'm sorry you're feeling so crappy

Crikey that's early :/ I didn't sleep well either.. And if one more person says to me.. Make the most of your sleep now.. I swear I will cry x

 

[klferrin]

Good luck Doob!! Are you low in vitamin D then?
Newbie - how are you feeling this morning?
Aimee hope this progresses for you now chick!

 

[Doob]

I know what you mean Sosie, I get a look like I'm committing some crime to complain I'm not sleeping at the moment. I know I'll get even less soon but at least theirs the logic of LO to explain that, this is just rubbish xx

 

[klferrin]

Aww dani I want to give you big hugs!! Did they say when it's likely for hubby to finish his night shifts now? Demand a sweep today babe, although mine didn't actually put me in labour, they are helping with softening the cervix etc...

Come on Grace, mummy is very fed up! Out you come!! Xxx

 

[Doob]

No I'm on a vitamin d trial via the gov and uni of Southampton. They want to officially say ladies should take vit d along with folic throughout pregnancy and to check how much difference vit d can make so they've picked a random selection of ladies to do this trial. It's a few blood tests, taking a vit d tablet they've prescribed and then scans of baby's bone density before 1 and again at 4 I think x

Wow that's really interesting! My hubby was wanting me to take extra vitamin D too as it promotes wakefulness, stabilise circadian rhythm and improved feelings of well being as well as helping fix calcium to the bones! Well done for doing this trial, sounds very promising!

 

[jodied]

Good luck klferrin! Sounds like you might get going without their help! Looking forward to updates

Doob hope your hospital app went ok

I slept quite well and have absolutely no signs of anything going on!

 

[newbie1984]

Morning all.

Good news for those who have had their show, get moving now babies!

I managed to sleep quite well. Still having the odd pain and a super active baby but nothing else other than rushing to the loo every 10 minutes, but not the dodgy tummy kind. Hopefully something will happen soon. 1 week today till actual due date.

Dani, any sign of the nights finishing? Lily will look super cute at her Xmas concert make sure you show us a pic!

Oh and I are going to try the Xmas thing today again, as long as he wakes up by 9! I'm not holding my breath on that one lol

Have a good day ladies. Looking out for some labour threads today! We need a 12.12.12 baby! X
