5 days since an update on our thread girls....we are slacking!!

Have just returned from my 34 week MW appointment, and LO has turned! Yay Also got shown around the MLU, it is lovely. Opting for it as my first choice to give birth at so fingers crossed all stays as it should do!

 

[Rebecca89]

She did tell me what to do, thank god, as I had no idea. Two fingers into the vagina, up to your first knuckle. Then stretch along the back wall from 3 o clock to 9 o clock the stretch should give you a burning sensation. Build up to doing it with four fingers She did say you will wonder how on earth a baby will come out but don't worry, it will and also that everything will loosen up a lot down there from about 37 weeks. I have a friend who is a midwife, and she told me I really must do it, she said it honestly makes a massive difference as to whether your tear or not. My midwife today also said that perineal massage is very good as it teaches you what the sensations feel like - she said when giving birth it is really important not to resist against the sensation, as resisting against it increases the likelihood of tearing. So, in conclusion....not a very nice task, but apparently rather important!

Hi ladies.
Our thread is way down on the second page! We can't be having this, it's even below November mummies!
How is everyone doing? I'm getting lots of "you're blooming" comments now which is quite nice but I think I am going to be the size of a house by the end.

Just saw a photo of me from a BBQ last weekend, it was horrific. I've not even put on too much weight, about a stone. There's an embargo on photos of me now until LO arrives. That way I can ignore the fact I look like a walking hut.

Think I'm nesting I've had a massive clean up and am whinging at OH to get the storage unit I want from ikea so I can organise baby's stuff.


Using Tapatalk can't see no tickers grrrrr.

 

[NinjaKitty]

Oh and I've burnt my bump whilst cooking in my underwear......


Using Tapatalk can't see no tickers grrrrr.

 

[badtasteinmusi]

burnt your bump? interesting. lol.

Don't worry about pics, in the future you will be able to look back and have a giggle!
I'm going to get the house tidied today. My gran was here on holiday and has just left so now everything needs washed as she is a smoker and would smoke in the house when I wasn't about. I can still smell it. yuck!!

 

[NinjaKitty]

Haha, just read back my last posts. I sound like a miserable goitre

In actually in a good positive mood today.

I'd be cheesed off about the smoking. Bet it was one of those situations where you couldn't actually stop her from doing it.

[Rebecca89]

pointless post but Im 31 weeks today and have been so excited all morning that my weeks left are down into single figures xxx

 

[Samantha55]

Hello ladies! Hope you're all well. I'm alright, can't believe I am almost 32 weeks pregnant now! Am enjoying my last few days off before going back to work after the summer holidays next week as am a teacher. Think it's going to be a struggle being back at work after 6 weeks off! Only back for 5 weeks but that's plenty!

Am looking forward to Sunday and we will be able to say our babies are due next month! Hehe

Exactly how I felt yesterday its a lovely feeling isnt it, I was so excited at getting to 30 weeks, felt more real and even more so now his movements are so big, roll on end of Oct! xxx

 

[badtasteinmusi]

I wouldn't say you sounded quite that miserable ninja. lol.
My gran is old skool and I would never have been able to stop her smoing in the house. I'm just glad she didn't do it when I was about.

Getting down to single figure weeks seems ages ago now! lol. My next target is just getting to 37 weeks. Then I just think like I'll be able to say I've done my job now get out!! (kidding!)

 

[Gemsy]

Morning girls! I am sort of admitting defeat and going on some semblance of maternity leave. I am EXHAUSTED. I've just woken from 14 hours sleep!!!!!! How on earth did that happen?!

I cannot believe that in just over 2 weeks I am going to technically be fully cooked. I do KNOW I'm going to have a baby, I just can't quite believe it

 

[NinjaKitty]

I'm 32 weeks now and have to admit Im starting to feel it. I remember from last time it turns into a bit of a slog towards the end as you get bigger and more immobile. I'm not surprised you slept 14 hours, sounds like bliss.

I'm finishing work in 3 weeks, taking 2 weeks annual leave and them official mat leave from 37 weeks. I have to admit I'm really looking forward to it. J will be staying in nursery 3 days a week until after no 2 is here. Having 3 days to myself for 3-4 weeks is a major luxury! I plan to bobble about and make sure everything's ready, fill the freezer with pre made home cooked meals and maybe even get time to do a bit of gaming (unheard of for the last 19 months lol). I wonder if I'll even get to read a book.....that may be a bit ambitious hehe.
