Jem cute crib, I can fully understand why you both would feel emotional! Ps your health visitor is most likely going to tell you off for the cot bumpers. They say it's a risk. And technically baby won't be moving for a while and can't bump again the bars x

Laura, take hubby out for dinner. Tell mother your car broke down lol x

Shep, I am sorry you are feeling this way. For all you know you may go into labour tomorrow xx Thanks re full moon news! I am hoping this may work for me if I get induced week 39! X

 

[JemRose]

Yeah KHTW I've read about cot bumpers, but atm they just look cute haha. I will take them off when he's here x

 

[JemRose]

What's this about the full moon?
I've had the 28th in my head for bloody ages about giving birth!!

 

[Shepherdess]

It's a full moon on 28th June. Just something I personally believe in. DD was born during a storm on a full moon.

Sheep often sit happy and pregnant for ages then a storm brings them on

 

[JemRose]

Oh how strange! Hope that's a real thing as like I said I've had that date in my head for ages!! X

 

[JaneyJan]

Hey guys. Thanks for the advice. I went in, was the only patient in the whole department, on the monitor everything was textbook, no decelerations, but I was still not happy with movements. They could see some recorded movement, but it was like 10% of usual strength, tiny tiny flutters. All day he's been quiet. So they've booked us to come back in in the morning, for another monitoring if he doesn't pick up in between. If he's still not his usual self, they'll do extra scan I think. My BP was ok actually. Yup, bit worrying, will be good when he's out and I can keep an eye on him.

Hope everyone else is having a good evening. Excited to see some more of these babies. Nice bump photos everyone x

 

[Amy207]

Awful nights sleep kept dreaming other half was seeing someone else and every time he goes out after work he’s seeing who ever it is and it’s just constant lies!!!! Not nice at all!!!!!!!

Off to the in laws today to show them how the travel system goes up and down so they can get it over to us after the baby is born. Mother in law is adamant it needs to stay up and at their house so all creases come out of it.

Have a lovely day ladies

 

[Shepherdess]

Aw Amy that's not a nice dream, hope you didn't wake up wanting to batter your oh haha

I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm sleeping so well! I'm being lured into a false sense of security. Went to the loo at 10 last night and didn't stir until 530! Then when back to sleep until 7, amazing. I feel like I should start setting hourly alarms to prepare for baby haha

Sorry for moaning yesterday ladies, I felt a bit rubbish but doing so much better today.

Anyone got any nice weekend plans?

DD and I are going to make some cakes and treats for husband today for fathers day and my dad is diabetic so I think I'll have a look at some low sugar dessert recipes for him

Have a nice weekend all

 

[Amy207]

Aw Amy that's not a nice dream, hope you didn't wake up wanting to batter your oh haha

Ha ha ha I always want to batter him!! But it was an awful feeling waking up feeling so crappy, I’m ok now I’m up showered and ready (or as much as I can be) for the day a head!

Baby is pushing down on my pelvis can feel myself leaning forward when I walk!!!

 

[LuckyLaura]

JaneyJan that's great that they had some recorded movement but I totally get it if you're not feeling happy. I'm glad they're bringing u in for extra monitoring if needed, let us know how you get on xx

Amy these dreams are a nightmare aren't they? I keep having the most random dreams about my other half cheating or leaving or all sorts. Haha have to remember not to hold them against him no matter how real they seem.

It wasn't too bad last night in the end but just exhausted as they stayed quite late then my brother and his new girlfriend rocked up when we had just gone to bed. My husband was working early this morning so he's knackered also I don't know if it's pregnancy hormones making me paranoid or what but I feel like something is wrong with him since last night... Like not that he's angry at me but just... Off?! Maybe something on his mind or a worry but it just doesn't feel right. Maybe I'm just overthinking and we've been fighting a lot lately which is very new to us as we never really fight so I think I'm on edge xx

Shep I am soooo jealous of you sleeping well!! Maybe your body is storing some energy ready for baby

Amy I hate dreams like that they're the worst aren't they!

I am actually cold today and I'm soooo happy haha. Haven't felt cold for a long time so I'm going to embrace the fact that I'm not hot, sticky and sweaty for once!

37 weeks for me today. Praying he comes anytime soon, though I really doubt it. All thoughts of him coming early have gone, I have no faith seeing as the rest of the pregnancy has been horrendous I just know I'm not lucky enough for it to be over just yet lol x

 

[Shanivy]

Happy 37 weeks Jem, crib looks lovely xx

JaneyJan hope baby picks up but good they're monitoring you either way xx

Laura take GGs advice lol your mum still needs a slap sorry xx

Awful day, awful mood here. The cheek coming from my child this morning was ridiculous. Plus lost the plot picking up OHs shit this morning. I sound mad but I absolutely can't stand when he brings in a 2 litre bottle of juice and leaves it in my living room. Like get a fucking glass like everyone else.

Plus he left all his work stuff just laying about, plus his dinner plate in the living room after coming in at 10.30 last night from work...Because it's such a hard trek to the kitchen sink. I tidied his crap up this morning (despite cleaning all day yesterday) while he was having a lie in (despite me not sleeping at all) and thought fuck it I'm going out. So I'm now away out, for what I'm not sure, and left both of them at home. Yes I'm ranting and I'm still really pissed off

Have a nicer weekend than me girls! Xx

 

[JemRose]

Shan I know how you feel about OH leaving shit lying around. I clean up and the flat is tidy, he comes home and suddenly there's shit everywhere. My main pet hate is leaving the juice out of the fridge with the lid off or leaving the bread out uncovered or the butter out with the knife stuck in it... Who does that?! Just put shit away it's not hard!!

I was in a good mood but not in a foul one. My sister told me that from 37 weeks you can save milk and she's told me to as she knows I've been leaking for weeks. I said I don't want to. She's told me I'm selfish and it's the best thing to do for my child and I'm letting him down. And that if she could she would (she isn't leaking) and that with her baby's cleft lip and palate he probably won't be able to latch on so I should count myself lucky and that I may not even be able to breast feed so I'm neglecting giving him the goodness of the milk I'm producing atm.. I still don't want to and I'm fucked off being made out to be a bad mum already just because I don't want to save it right now!

 

[malagueta]

I totally believe in the full moon thing too although I think it's a bit early for me.

Shep hope it's not a cold coming on.

Jem love the crib! So cute. And you do what you want with saving milk etc. It's your child and your body. You can do what you like.

I could've cried this morning as I was having a really good sleep and then I woke up to the worst leg cramp. My leg is still hurting a bit now, three hours later.

On the plus side my swim yesterday has really helped the swelling in my feet go down. They actually look normal today! Think I'll go for another swim later on as I found it quite relaxing and refreshing.

Have a nice weekend ladies!

 

[Shepherdess]

Happy 37 weeks JemRose! Not long to wait now! Just ignore your sister, shes probably just very worried about her baby still, and ignore her comment about the possibility of "not being able to breastfeed". Only 6% of women cant breastfeed so if that is what you WANT to do then there is every possibility you can

Sorry a few of you are in rubbish moods

I'd be livid with your oh Shanivy. I don't think my husband would dare leave things lying on the floor atm. DD learnt the hard way to yesterday when I stood on a water pistol and smashed it because I couldn't see it for bump

Glad you had a good swim malagueta

 

[_GG_]

Jem, ignore your sister. Yes, you're leaking, but if you start to express now, you will be expressing the colostrum that is packed with everything your little boy needs when born. If you just leak, your body is just prepping. If you express, you will need to keep it up religiously until baby arrives as not doing so can affect milk flow and cause you pain. Not to mention the endless filling of bags, dating them, freezing them and managing freezer space. Nightmare. Just do what is right for you. Stress makes us think and say irrational things and your sister has some huge question marks over the baby that she's due soon so I wouldn't pay much attention to anything she says. Just concentrate on you and your little boy.

Not really caught up on other posts and having a mega busy weekend here, brought to you by the powers of ranitidine and its gift of at least 5 hours sleep the last few nights

Catch up later. Xx

 

[KHTW]

Laura, I bet OH is just tired and that's why seems off x

Jem, happy 37 weeks. Oh yeah and fuck your sister. How dares she say things like that!! X

Shan, I'd be pissed too, you are not his servant. And a lie in... Really? Men! x

DD and been to Park this morning and now I am about to do some cleaning while she plays and watches TV. Today there will be no restrictions on the amount of nursery rhymes she wants to watch, screw it it has been a busy week and we have done loads of fun things. Today is mummy can't be bothered day. House needs cleaning and washing won't do itself either. Hubby is working all day and tomorrow is father's day so I don't want to ask him to clean x

 

[JemRose]

Take it all back about being happy and cold. I'm boiling again :'( it's literally like my skin is burning and I can't do anything about it! I just want to rip everything off including my skin!

 

[Fela]

Hi everyone

Sorry you're struggling with your internal themostat Jem I thought I was coping quite well with the heat until the last few days when I realised that DH was sleeping under the duvet and I wasn't which just shows how warm I'm feeling!

I really enjoyed seeing the midwife led unit last week and was feeling happy and confident about my choice to book in to have my baby there, but since then I've been making myself nervous about it... like am I insane to go somewhere with such limited pain relief options... (if I need anything beyond diamorphine or entonox I'll have to be transferred to a hospital 15 mins away...). The midwife said that even if I do get transferred that transfers are nothing to be scared about, that they are all very calm generally...

I was keen on this place because it's alot quieter than the other hospital (they average 1 baby born per day), it's much closer to home and it allows DH to stay with me overnight if he needs to.. but yeah..... obviously I do have worries occasionally about things not going the way I'd like.. seems simple coming off the back of our NCT class going "Oh yeah, no problems... you'll just give me lots of massages and talk me through it and I'll be FINE" haha..... but being closer to the event now, it feels a fairly gargantuan ask!

Five more days in the office and I'm DONE. Things definitely feel a little different physically, I'm getting loads of discharge all of a sudden in the last few days and the odd twinge in the pelvic region.. not sure if this is a sign the baby is engaging....

 

[JemRose]

Fela I have no idea how you're managing to still work but well done!! Bet you can't wait to finish

So, I have this very strange feeling atm. The only way I can describe it is like a tampon is stuck or at the wrong angle.. Obviously no tampon haha but I can't think of another way to describe it. I feel almost like a stretching blocked sort of feeling... Any idea what this is?
