*** march 2015 mummys to be ***

[Demaris]

Tiggy this could be hormones a sign that baby is on the way? I really totally believe that as labour approaches we get PMS symptoms, I have been tearful and snappy all week and on Friday I start with the wayward contractions. Don't feel guilty, you are doing an amazing job right now. Right now you are keeping that little one inside you safe and sound, even though it feels like you are doing nothing you are actually doing something amazing hang in there and be kind to yourself xxx

Happy mothers all you beautiful March mummies and mummies to be!

I spent the night getting up and being very unsettled had a few painful contractions but nothing really to shout about. I guess because I was induced with my two I've not experienced this long drawn out pre labour. Last time I went from no pain to lots of pain really quickly so these tightenings are unnerving me!

I'm going to be getting the last of the things sorted today, car seat in the car and double check bags etc. the kids are going to my dads tonight ready for school tomorrow so I don't have to stress them in the morning before we leave, I know I'm going to be stupidly teary (I cry at anything!) so better they go tonight than tomorrow.

Spin sugar sounds promising! Hope you get some rest today xx

Hope you all have a lovely day whatever you are up to xxx

Oh Tiggy I can definitely sympathise, my OH came home yesterday to me crying because my cat had knocked my flowers on the floor! That's definitely not me at all, I would have normally laughed or just put it down to him just being a cat. Hope you feel better soon, you're doing a wonderful job, don't beat yourself up
Demaris are you feeling excited today? Enjoy your last day of pregnancy
I had some bad back pains yesterday that kept coming off and on, then when I got into bed I was having BH as well, but it's all gone this morning. I also had a strange moment where I leaked and I think it was discharge but it was very watery. With all this going on, my OH was convinced that it was time but sadly I don't think so. Getting so impatient and frustrated although I'm not even overdue :/ xxx

 

[Cakey]

Also Happy Mother's day to all of you! I hope you get spoilt xxx

 

[Demaris]

Cakey I'm feeling so many emotions today I can't keep up with myself! Had a huge crying episode just now, I packed a crochet blanket my mum made for my daughter 15 years ago, I lost my mum to cancer 8 years ago and it being Mother's Day and baby coming it all got a bit much. Hopefully now that's out the way I can get my organised head on! I'm also scared as I know what's coming and also don't want to say goodbye to my kids tonight as they go to my dads! Being a mum is sooo hard at times!! Xx

 

[Cakey]

Oh Demaris, I'm sorry about your mum, it must make things very hard especially today. I know everything is scary now but when you have your LO in your arms, you'll know it will have been so worth it make sure you do something nice for yourself or get your OH to, you deserve it. Keep your chin up, it won't be long now xxx

Aww Tiggy poor you x Even though you know it's just hormones it doesn't help much does it? Hope it has calmed down now x

 

[tiggy85]

Thanks ladies, I'm feeling better this afternoon after eating a lovely home cooked lunch with cake and just played scrabble which with my mum, mother in law and hubby! It's probably hormones yes iLove! I don't very often cry so know it's not me!

Hope your ok demaris, I can imagine it's emotional knowing its your last day with your family as you know it. Big hugs to you and everyone else feeling emotional. It's a mothers day emotional day today xxx

I just had a rather stressful conversation with my mum, ended up in an argument. Basically, she had a think about my situations and is thinking that maybe I should ask for a C-sec instead of induction. That's fine, she has some interesting points and might be right (I started another thread about this, will appreciate any opinions). What really annoyed me though is that while thinking about it she asked a lady we both know (who had a c-src), and then asked my dad to call my half-sister and ask her opinion too (she also had a section). Then she called some doctor she knows. And only then, when half of the world knows all about my problems and situations, this was mentioned to me. WTF? If I knew what was going on, I would call these people myself, or would do my own research. I'm the last person this is mentioned to!! I'm not very impressed My half sister and this lady probably thought I was being too scared to talk to them myself. I feel like a fool.

Just in case you might think it's really mean to have an argument with your mum today - my mum is not English and does not celebrate Mother's Day today.

 

[Cakey]

I posted in your other thread Olya, I hope you're not feeling too upset xx

 

[i.love]

Thanks Lanny. I'm very confused now. And all my husband can do is sleep and complain about how rough he feels. I can't even discuss this with him properly. So fed up.

 

[Cakey]

Oh men are useless when they're poorly lol! Why don't you write a list of pros and cons for induction and section to help get your thoughts out? xxx

 

[i.love]

I would love to, but I don't even know much about pros and cons! Haven't done enough research. I need to speak to my consultant somehow. So little time left!

 

[Cakey]

Can you ring them tomorrow and ask? Xx

 

[SpinSugar]

Hugs hun. I've replied on your other thread. ..but i've nit been very helpful.
Cakey I've PM u back xxx

 

[rachelb]

Hope everyone is doing well. Lily is loving her booby milk and is feeding every 3-4 hours. Xxx

 

[Cakey]

Glad Lily is doing so well Rachel how are you doing? Xx

 

[i.love]

Lanny yeah will do first thing! I need to talk to someone. I rang them today, but they said can only discuss tomorrow. I'm now panicking as have so little time to make a decision.

Thanks SpinSugar, I'll go read

 

[Cakey]

Don't panic, just think about what you want thoroughly and you'll make the right decision for you
Getting frustrated that I'm getting back pains and tightenings but not knowing if this is it or not doesn't help with my OH being so excited every time I mention something new. Xx

 

[i.love]

Rachel awww lovely to hear from you xx

 

[Podpie]

Hope you're all having a lovely mother's day ladies. I'm still exhausted after a difficult first night at home and we're really struggling with feeding. Have taken to hand expressing and finger feeding to get him going before trying him on the boob.
And just to introduce him properly, here he is in his first ever outfit...

Even with all the trouble we've had with feeding etc it is all so worth it every time I look at his face. He's so gorgeous and I feel absolutely blessed to have been given the opportunity to be his mummy.
