Glad you are home MrsT and dexter is comfortable atm. Sorry to hear about Jase and his problems with work, glad to hear his GP showed some compassion!

 

[Cosmogirl7]

Aw MrsT I'm glad you're home and wee Dexter holding out to 38 weeks. You defs need to chill and relax for the next few weeks.

That's appalling about your hubby's work, glad he got signed off.

Back to work for me today, could cry, really don't want to go xxx

 

[jazz1984]

Hope today goes by in a flash for you Cosmo, it's nearly over!

Slept much better last night thank god, only 14 more days Left at work!!!

Thanks for the update MrsT and good they are keeping him in his little oven for longer. Drs work a lot on worst case scenario so hopefully eveeything u are heading and being tested for is worst case and in reality will all be much better. Also sorry about Jase, everyone deals with things different so don't question your own reaction. Keep positive x

 

[Starlight1986]

Glad you are home MrsT!!!! It's probably just all a big shock for Jase which is completely understandable. There is a bit of time before Dexter is here so perhaps your hubby will be able to get a little help to deal with it.

Hope you are feeling ok.

I'm starting to feel more pregnant by the minute...im sure I'm waddling now lol!!

 

[Zoe_helen25]

Off to our preparing for birth clases today x

 

[Flickalicious]

Good news MrsT. At least Dexter will be full term by then and not have the added worries of being a preemie. You and hubby both need lots of R&R by the sounds of it. Cuddles on the sofa with a movie and popcorn. Hopefully you're feeling better too?

We (society) often forget that becoming a new Dad has a huge impact on the man. It's gradual change for the woman, 9 months of feeling our bodies change. But for men, BOOM! 2 lines then a baby. I think it's much more overwhelming and terrifying for them than us (even the giving birth bit!) We don't give them enough credit.

I'm 36 weeks today. Can't actually believe I have only 4 weeks til babes is due. It's mental! Definitely feeling the struggle. I have a photo comparison from 4 days ago (same outfit on purpose) Can anyone else see a growth difference??

 

[Sarah30n4kidz]

wow flick ... thats a huge differance in a few days x 4 weeks .... 28DAYS!!!!!!! scary ... hehe

 

[mrsjohnson88]

Omg thats a hugh difference! Great bump.

I took a pic last night and couldn't believe the difference from my last one taken at 27 weeks, ive grown loads! X

 

[Zoe_helen25]

Flick u look great x

 

[MrsT2711]

That's a massive difference wow! Good difference tho its a lovely bump!

This is what I've said... I've had time to bond with him and feel every little kick and hiccup whereas jase really just watches it all happen. I know that as soon as Dexter is put in his arms everything will change so that will be an amazing moment! One I'm looking forward to more almost as much as me getting the first hold lol..... just to let him get the connection.

Xx

 

[OMGbabyno3]

Flick-big difference! Bump looks lower too!

It is hard for he men I think as sometimes it is easier for the person going through it...he'll be worrying about you and LO.

MrsT I'm glad with your positive news. I hope your hubby can get some kind of support via the gp if he feels he needs it as I'm sure it would make a huge difference to him.

I'm 36 weeks today, by this time next week I will have been given my induction date! Crazy scary madness aye!, I really have had enough now of being pg. I think that it's hard for me as I had to reduce my meds (antidepressants) to the lowest dose I could handle and although the Dr keeps telling me I can go and see her for an increase I have avoided it and will continue to avoid doing that until after he is born! I just don't feel myself. Everyday is so draining I do the bare essential stuff just to get through the day and make sure the other kids are looked after.

I'm not looking after myself at all I find it effort to even motivate myself to jump in the shower! I scrape my hair back each day and I slob around in anything I first put my hands on in the wardrobe I look like a slob and I hate it so much.

I'm not sleeping at night due to baby under my ribs and reflux but also once that passes I still lay awake till gone midnight. Oh and then I have to get up several times during the night to pee!!!!

Wow I feel better for getting all that out, just ignore me I needed a rant to feel better xx

 

[jazz1984]

How did your mw app go zoe?

Nearly there now jnyfer! I keep telling myself it'll be over before I know it . Hb is horrible though, one day at a time!

 

[Zoe_helen25]

It was all about feeding baby quiet interesting but every baby diffrent so we wait and see x

 

[jazz1984]

Did they discuss breathing in labour? My class didn't and was wondering what theyd said to you?

 

[Zoe_helen25]

They said nothing about breathing but next session is on pain relief x

 

[blondy13]

Ugh I had a crap nights sleep, my hips are seriously aching now. And a whole day of work to face...the joys!!
Has anyone done any pregnancy yoga? I'm considering doing it for the last few weeks. Not sure if it will just make me giggle!

 

[Starlight1986]

Yup me to Blondy!! Also woke up with a pounding headache and sore throat with a runny nose...hoping it will pass!!

Never done pregnancy yoga but absolutely loved Pilates when I done that, I wasn't pregnant though x

 

[bricey]

I saw the GD consultant last night and have been put in metformin, I'll get scanned and see him again at 37 weeks and I'll be induced at 39w,I turn this is Saturday 30th Jan which means I think they will book me in for the monday. Do u think they will let me request to be booked in the Friday before? I was thinking that as its then the weekend and 2 non working days the "waiting for labour time" will eat less into Hubs paternity leave as no it can take days so if 2 of them are a weekend it would help?

Who do I speak to about this? My MW or the diabetes consultant? How do the diabetes team work with the delivery and maternity team and who "books" me in?
