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

[russellmuscle]

yea I am. I was going to go to western for classes but I found out southern do single mother classes, and because OH can't make them I asked if I could go to those, so I don't need to sit with couples lol. I really really hope I get a pool at southern xx

Ahhhh; we are attending the western, Im quite lucky that OH works under my cousins partner so she will allow time off for him to come - which is good because I think he will need the classes more than me LOL!

I am not too bothered about the pool or not, I have asked a midwife if it is not in my birthing plan but if it is free can I try it and she has said yes but I dont know if that is because I work there? I imagine I will want a dry birth but then who knows what Ill want at that point in time so I am keeping options open xxxxxx

I got both of those. I have a few soft brick toys and teddy bears. I got a nice mobile for the car seat and pushchair. TBH they don't need too many to start with I don't think. i'll leave those to order on the internet when i'm sick of daytime tv lol xx

I soooo desperately want and need a water birth because I have bad joints and water is the only way I don't hurt or strain them. Tbh it's the thing I keep worrying about xxx

 

[russellmuscle]

Ahhhh I see, thats a shame about your joints.

I like the birthing chair in the labour suite..

The only thing being due in December is there is ALOT of December babies just now and Im outside the MAT building every day to get the bus and it's heaving with people that look around the same time as us.

Are you taking a ball ?

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[sophs85]

O no really?
yea i'm taking my ball. If I can't have the pool I think i'm going for an epi, I can't have forceps so if anything get's complicated I'm straight in for a section xx

 

[russellmuscle]

Yeah I know loads of people due around December/January and plus its just always jumping LOL.. Is there not like 3 pools though ? I'm sure theres at least a couple..

I am going to try not for an epi, I really don't want it but again I'm not planning too much as I don't know what I will want at the time..

xxxxxxxxx

Dreading another attempt to sleep after having to call delivery suite last night following extreme stomach pains. Hoping it don't happen again. Hopefully my itching will allow me to go to sleep too!

 

[Kate1985]

Ditto! This late pregnancy stage is hard. Hope you get to sleep Hun xxx

 

[russellmuscle]

I don't find it hard getting to sleep, its staying asleep! I am constantly up during the night for a pee xxxx

 

[Doob]

Me too, always up for the loo. I've started to keep count. Last night was good only twice. The night before was 8 though-crazy! X

 

[russellmuscle]

I was 8 the other night aswell, and it's not that, some are like 10 mins apart and I get so annoyed cause even if I need a dribble I can't sleep till I am empty.

The other morning when I wasnt well I slept right through and didn't pee although when I woke in the morning I was in agony and I mean agony, it was like my bladder was about to explode and I had to hold where my bladder is, bend over and walk to the toilet - after peeing it was totally fine but I would rather get up maybe once. I wish my body knew a balance LOL xxxxxxxxxx

 

[Doob]

Yeah its painful when that happens. I've also started to be woken up by the need to go to the loo but it seems to also set lo off moving or hitting really low down. It's like she's trying to escape and that really hurts x

 

[russellmuscle]

Yeah I must have not woken as I was so shattered, the most frustrating thing for me is that no matter if I go to bed super early - if I wake up once, and my sleep gets broken, I am still shattered the next day and feel like Ive been up all night it is even worse when its a busy wee wee night like 8 times, I felt hungover the next day.

I need my sleep LOL!

xxxxxxxxxx

 

[Doob]

Lol I know. We should be getting as much sleep as possible. My mw said its mother nature getting your body used to broken sleep...stupid mother nature!!! X

 

[jodied]

Yes it's absolutely devastating, I can't even begin to imagine what she's going through right now. So sad.

Jodied, glad your LO had a better night in her bed, is she old enough to be aware that you're having another LO? Xx

Thanks doob! She slept through last night and is doing well tonight (just been in once at 2am to tuck her back in). She's 19mths and really into babies at the moment. She can say baby and points to my tummy especially if she sees the scan pics on my phone (so cute!!). If we see other babies she just wants to look after them or me to cuddle them so I think she's going to be a caring big sister but I'm not sure she completely understands what's happening x

 

[Sosie]

Lol I know. We should be getting as much sleep as possible. My mw said its mother nature getting your body used to broken sleep...stupid mother nature!!! X

Definitely, I fall asleep fine and then I'm up for the toilet with a wriggling bump.. And then my minds awake oh well at least we are going to be prepared for our LO x

 

[dyscochick]

7 h sleep last night, bliss!! Bubs is so wriggly this morning! Is anyone else getting period like pains? My bump has def dropped again too, mil noticed yesterday!

 

[Doob]

Wow lucky you! Only up 4 times last night lol. I've been getting period type pains over the last few days, some very uncomfortable x

Jodied that's super cute!! X

Not had period pains..but loads of back ache and everyone has said "your bumps dropped" and i can definitely feel its dropped too.. x

 

[russellmuscle]

I have had a few low comments, about 5 people in the last few days LOL but then I think I will go early..

I didn't get up once for the loo last night, baby must have heard me moaning and stayed clear of the bladder LOL xxx
