May mummies and rainbows to be :) the wait is nearly over!

[lisey]

im just gunna pack my trusty leggings haha !

i have packed a few muslins, and i was told 2 blankets especially if you have a dog so if i have to stay in a night my OH can take one blanket home which he will have been wrapped in so the dog knows he is here.

i havent packed any bathing stuff for baby just wipes, nappies, cotton balls etc x

We are doing the same with the muslin for the dog xx

I'm hoping for a home birth now baby is in the right position and our dog will be home so won't be shocked when we bring a baby into the house!! Leigh maybe we will share birth days! Dovekie I'm glad baby is in the right position I sneezed earlier and felt a lot of low pressure :/ xx

 

[Eryinera]

Awesome. Yea good idea about the maternity stuff. Think I'll just pack my mat pants. Might take a different top as I need one that's a vital better for breastfeeding feeding I think. 2 blankets should be OK I'll just give me a quick wash.

And I'm think 3 or 4 vests/sleepsuits a cardi and maybe a cute going home outfit just in case! Need to get the car seat in the car too!

I think I'm one of the few who isn't big on fried chicken. I'm all about some mexican though.

I added a few items to my hospital and repacked the baby's bag as we got a new babygrow that is just too cute from a friend. I also bought a new home outfit with robots on it. It's too cute. It's the one from tesco. I'm worried the original one we bought won't fit him as it's up to 9lbs and there is a chance he may be over that.

I've got the back pain up to my bra strap and I've been getting period pains. I'm exhausted. I have confirmed that Tuesday will be my last day, so the end is nearing. Of course I wouldn't mind him arriving before then, just not the 30th please. I do have a little nervous feeling he'll make an appearance that day and have a shared birthday with his mem.

His movements are more painful, but in a different way. They aren't into my ribs anymore, but he just pushes out and it feels like he's tying to stretch through my stomach.

i need to repack my bags at the weekend i cant fit everything in to 2 bags!

babies been a bit quiet today i have felt her though just not as much as usual

 

[Eryinera]

I feel the exact same as you kabuk with the pains and stuff.

My mum is away this weekend something she had planned from before I was pregnant and shes freaking out the baby will arrive when she's away it's cute lol.

My last day is wed it's so nice to have the end in sight! I'm having pressure down below too. Sometimes I'm hopeful that these tightening's are turning into something other times it feels like labour is a million miles away!

Now they are working on my water supply outside my house they started yesterday but they just said they are leaving it in disarry until after the bank holiday I hope they don't mess up the supply. I hope she stays put until after the waters fixed or else I've heard they won't let you home.

 

[kabuk1]

The only day we don't want him to arrive is Sunday as it's my dw's bday, so watch him make his appearance that day.

I've attached bump photos. Witness my explosion over the last few weeks. He's deco going to be a healthy size. The redness above my naval is from where my naval ring was.

 

[Eryinera]

Oh wow. My bump seems to be shrinking lol
I hope Sunday passes uneventfully for you x

 

[BettyHoop]

Cracking bump! My friend just told me she got stretchmarks in the last week all of a sudden and made me paranoid now! Xx

 

[nikkix86]

wow kabuk yours looks low aswell hopefully she will come soon lol

 

[lisey]

Cracking bump! My friend just told me she got stretchmarks in the last week all of a sudden and made me paranoid now! Xx

I doubt that will happen, don't worry. People love the worry others. I don't have even one stretch mark, my son was 9lb 1 so big baby and i have a big bump with this one too, even if you did get a few, they fade over time xx

 

[kabuk1]

Don't say that Betty. I haven't got any yet and I'm hoping it'll stay that way.

Everyone, including the mw and consultant says both of us look ready for labour, but nothing yet.

 

[lisey]

39 week bump!

 

[Leighwiltshire]

i love all your bumps!!

this little one must be laid funny, he has his foot stuck under my rib and im only feeling slight movements from him so i think hes hiding or facing backwards finally

 

[nikkix86]

the last few days i can barely stay awake trying to hold out till the kids are in bed and then i can go to sleep lol

 

[Leighwiltshire]

all i want to do is nap these days lol feel really lazy as i dont have kids like you all xx

 

[kabuk1]

I just want to eat and sleep. I'm glad I only have one more work day to make this commute. However, sleeping isn't easy these days. So hard to get comfortable in bed or on the couch.
