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

[nikkix86]

i had a bh on the monitor earlier and it went up to 75! i think real contractions are like 90-100 it was really painful!

 

[Emily0505]

Mine haven't been painful but a bit uncomfortable and seeming to last a bit longer than normal.

Hopefully all this practice means the real thing will be quick and smooth! Lol!

Lol Emily. My theory is, I have had such a difficult pregnancy with the hyperemesis, heart issues and weak knees that the birth is bound to be easy. My OH stayed silent when I expressed this theory lol xx

 

[Emily0505]

I think with everything we've all been through to get to this stage, we all deserve quick and easy births!

[nikkix86]

i have a gut feeling a few of us will be early

 

[Loubalouba]

We certainly do!

My BH's are really bad tonight too! So uncomfortable! X

 

[nikkix86]

not long now girls!

 

[Eryinera]

Yes lisey I'm hoping you're right! (Glad you're due first we've had similar experience's so I'll let you go through the labour bit first and you can tell me how smooth easy and painless it was )

 

[Eryinera]

I'm now getting fanny daggers lol. I'm sure if I push down hard enough I can get her to come out lol..... or maybe id just shit myself hahaha either way.... I need to order a mattress protector lol

 

[lisey]

Yes, we need lovely; easy births I think there will be some early ones too. I am hoping mine stays there until after the easter holidays though as will be easier with son back at school.

Did anyone watch one born? I am catching up now and the guy from the first couple they show is so irritating, if my OH went on like that whilst I was in labour I would throw a speculum at him!! Xx

 

[lisey]

Yes lisey I'm hoping you're right! (Glad you're due first we've had similar experience's so I'll let you go through the labour bit first and you can tell me how smooth easy and painless it was )

Lol, yours sounds more ready than mine though I wonder if any of us will have our baby's on the same day! Xx

 

[nikkix86]

i saw that lisey he was more interested in being on his phone to his new girlfriend i think!

 

[lisey]

And he was just too hyper and jokey. In the end he didn't seem too bad but at the start I was considering forwarding it as he was so annoying. They weren't together anymore, they were friends with benefits, the person he kept talking to on the phone was his new girlfriend!! I wouldn't be impressed if my OH picked up the phone mid contraction xx

 

[Emily0505]

Serious wardrobe malfunctions this morning! I have no tops that fit!!

Going to have to Amazon prime some proper maternity tops as my bump is poking out the bottom of everything else! Lol!

XX

 

[lisey]

Lol, embrace the belly top. Its sunny today (here anyway)

I have so much maternity wear, I didn't intend on buying too much but have loads xx

 

[Emily0505]

I have one proper maternity top and a couple of normal tops that I just bought in a couple of sizes up. They don't fit anymore! I've got a couple of long CAMI tops but need something to put over the top as although they fit bump great they are a bit loose at the top and don't look the nicest with a sports bra poking out the top! Oh dear!

I've ordered a couple of tops from Amazon which should be here tomorrow and hopefully they'll do me now! Don't want to spend any more on clothes when I could potentially give birth any time!

[Emily0505]

Found one that I can wear! Not sure how long I'll get away with it but my proper ones should arrive tomorrow anyway!

morning Ladies,

cant believe how close you all are now!

cord blood flow had improved - still getting monitored every week. had my 4d scan last night and he was a monkey as per, didnt want to play ball got a few piccies of him.

im so in love with him already, they are still thinking of inducing me as he is still tiny only 3lb2 at the minute.

ive had a few BH not painful tho, just weird haha. i did have a intense pain yesterday when i moved in bed went again when i moved out the position think baby was laid on my nerve for my leg haha

baby loves his cord, throughout the scan he was sucking on it and playing with it so that may have been the reason for the low blood flow a couple of weeks ago. The lady told me ill struggle to swaddle him as he kept putting his feet on his head, and that i need lots of mits as he is a grabber, grabbing his feet, his cord and sucking his fingers.

 

[Emily0505]

Aww that's great news about the cord flow!

Cheeky little chappy playing with it though!

Hopefully he'll chunk up nicely for you before he's born!

Lively piccys!

[Leighwiltshire]

he just kept yawning and playing with his cord, the little monkey. must be a hard life being a baby haha

its amazing to see how much he actually moves and how little i feel of him. i thought i would feel every movement with having such a small bump but im not feeling even half of them.

thats just a guess at what he weighs from the measurements.

cant believe how close you are Emily to having your little Rainbow!

xx
