***** October 2015 Mummies ******

[MrsS143]

Just preparation for #operationbabyweightloss twix
Is being induced not better than c section though? X

 

[littletwix]

Yeah I suppose it is, I'd been hoping for a natural birth with as few meds as possible but that'll definitely be out if I need to get syntocin...

She's doing another growth scan next Monday so at least it's all been monitored

 

[MrsS143]

Keep us posted
Hopefully the growth curbs off a tad x

 

[littletwix]

I hope so...couldn't sleep last night I was worrying about it so much. I'm only 5'0 and the thought of giving birth to a baby that's off the charts scares the hell out of me. I've a nephew that had a very rough birth and has a disability as a result which has made me even more sensitive to everything.

Don't know how I'm going to get through this day at work, so busy

I have absolutely no idea why I've dragged myself out of the house to work this morning; I'm like a zombie! Up 5 times last night and when still in bed I couldn't sleep or get comfy at all. GGGRRR! Came home from work yesterday and went straight upstairs to run a bath, nice little soak helped the hips and back a bit.

Finally had my first parentcraft class last night. I feel slightly more daunted, but also much more informed and comfortable at the same time, bizarre! We were made to sit in a circle in terms of how many weeks we were, and I've spent all this time thinking I had quite a big bump, I actually haven't at all! There was one lady in the group at 30 weeks, and until she spoke I was adamant that she was having twins. good job I didn't ask lol!

Its annoying isn't it MrsS, I so want to wear loads of stuff that shows off my bump, but some things just shows its a slightly odd shape and I feel so conscious of it. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks it will 'even out' as we all hit the overdrive growth spurt...

Littletwix, sorry to hear things are not going the way you've planned x There is always a chance the growth will settle down towards the end? Good thing they will keep an eye on you and baby! X

I am also busy at work, got my replacement starting today so will have do the training with her which means no more lazy days

This is what I wanted too but my off the charts chappie is giving the same issues. In the end it doesn't matter how they get here, trust me. Also remember its not your height that is a problem its the size and shape of your pelvis!

I cried nearly everyday at work in my last 2 weeks, I was so ready to be done. It's all much more manageable all of a sudden.

Typically, jess is now sleeping amazingly too, 11 hrs straight which for her is a personal best

Going to change all the beds tonight, meet hubby for lunch then get eyes tested... getting the jobs done slowly.

Morning all! Hopefully babies growth slows down a little now littletwix.

I still have shed loads to go over with my replacement & now getting to the point that I'm wondering if it will all get covered!! He's not picking things up as quickly as I thought he would! (Friday was a 13+ hour day due to this & Our working hours for a Friday is 5hrs!!), you can see where this is heading!! On holidsy today to try & use up some leave! .

Hope everyone is feeling well xx

 

[Shelly1812]

Oh & 4 weeks to go!! Holy Shit!! Xx

 

[KHTW]

Happy 36 week Shelly! Now the real countdown starts!!

My replacement is doing great so far, picking up quickly! Hope she carries on like this

 

[Shelly1812]

Thanks Kariolina!! I think it won't sink in with me until I actually finish up on mat leave! My mat leave not due to start until 5th Oct though (I'm finishing up the week before on holiday).

Consultant & physio think I should be finishing up earlier but I'm trying to last as long as possible. I think my due of 6th Oct is slightly out, I think more 2nd/3rd Oct is more accurate (LMP due date of 27th Sept!!), 12 week scan due date of 3rd, but due to nhs not scanning me until nearly 15 weeks they had to just take head measurement & put me back to 6th lol, so I'm hoping I last lol!!

I want to choke my replacement seriously he infuriates me, I'm blaming him for my high blood pressure lol.

Has anyone started losing their plug yet? Xx

 

[KHTW]

I can't shake of the feeling that I will go early! Maybe during the full moon this month?

My maternity leave doesn't start until 7th Oct. I will aslo be using up my holidays after leaving work!

Don't choke your replacement, you will need him

 

[Shelly1812]

Haha!! I said that to my hubby last night, got a feeling I'll go into labour on 28th, he's like why .... Just because!!

Our HR weren't keen on me starting MAT leave after my due date so settled on day before. Don't know why, im if I was on holiday & had baby MAT leave would just start automatically.

I'll no need him, I'll no be there hehe xx

 

[KHTW]

It would be so funny if some of us started labouring on 28th, how freaky lol

Yeah, I guess you are right - go ahead and tell him he sucks

 

[MayBMore]

Shelly and Kh you two are freaking me out I was just looking up moon-inspired middle names and I have predicted my baby will be born on the 28th on the sweepstake as that is my lucky number! When is the full moon this month?

I honestly don't know how you both can still be at work and busy too....I'm utterly exhausted and that's just sitting here eating some soup!! haha

 

[KHTW]

Stacey, the full moon falls on the 28th this month!! Haha, our dates are so close together - all 3 of us may end up with babies on that day

I think I would be bored as hell if I stayed at home all day
... I am feeling ok to work but saying that I keep finding myslef out of breath just from talking!!!! Oh well, 10 more days! x

 

[Shelly1812]

Haha sorry Stacey!!

It would be freaky!! All the early Oct mummies going early on same date

Stacey I find if I'm busy I'm less tired, the more I sit about the worse I am lol xx

 

[MayBMore]

ooohh 28th is a full moon hey especially freaky that's gotta be the day for me then, too many co-incidences lined up!

 

[CarrieMarshall]

oohh Stacey you've just reminded me. I better get my work sweepstake sorted out....!

 

[Shelly1812]

Och!! Baby movements today are quite painful!! Think the wee baba must be trying to strech, can feel it high up & really low down xx
