October mummy's-are you ready?!

[isobel84]

tell her that you want her to paint something to charley and help her to write his name on it and keep telling her what a good big sister she will become and how happy charley will be for the painting! Also mention that they almost got the same letters in their names! perhaps she gets a little excited about it!

worst case it will have to be a little elvis haha

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

Haha noooo it's NOT being Elvis! lol thats a good idea about the painting though!!

 

[Naaat]

LOL I've bought new pyjamas for hospital but don't think they're practical for giving birth so I should probably pack a nightie aswell?

Gah names, I'm constantly changing my mind with them. I don't think he'll have a definite name until he gets here though.

Charley's a lovely name, I like it.

i cant see myself in a nighty if its not a sexy one, a nighty, dispos. knicks and brick pads.. its juts not me. i rather have a pj top (no bottoms) i think. I cant sleep in anything i find it sooo uncomfy so i can acctually see myself stripping it all of and do it all naked in the end.

 

[Naaat]

Lol I'm not really a nightie person either, but am very self conscious so might have to do it in a nightie lol!
I usually sleep in boxers and a vest top, I'm comfy enough that way.

I've bought a button down nightie for labour and 2 lots of pyjamas for the stay.

I think an oversized shirt or a huge t-shirt will do for labour though.

 

[isobel84]

OH was so cold yesterday he said "im gonna keep my vest on in bed im sooo cold"
i just looked at him and said i didnt want him anymore and he could go home. Then i layed on top of the duvets and said he wouldnt get under unless he was naked.

I CANT STAND IT!
I even made him promise me a dressing gown so when i go up breastfeeding in the night i dont have to run around naked in the house incase we got guests.

 

[isobel84]

since i read annies birth story this morning.. my nipples wont stop hurting..

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

Your milk might be coming in!!

 

[isobel84]

its been leakin yelllow for weeks!

 

[isobel84]

last night i was looking at my boobs and OH said they have become too big now!! I gave them a swing (and the almost hit my back!!) and said it was my milk bottles! funny what you can get away with when your preggo

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

Hahaa that's so funny!! I try to suffocate Tim with mine!

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

I know this might be abit tmi but what's everyones discharge like? Normally I just have wet knickers but for afew days it's getting thicker like jelly! It's not slot so doubt it's plug so is everyone else's thicker? Like I said sorry for tmi! x x

 

[isobel84]

its not thicker but when i whipe its yellowish!! before it was clear or white!

 

[Yodabo]

Mine is sometimes watery, other times White. Still loads too..nice!

 

[isobel84]

i got midwife soon... i love going but as im past 36 weeks i really want them to say Noas head is engaged.. but i know its not cuz last night bless his heart he had really bad hiccups and i couldnt feel them in myy twinkle but just on the side torwards the right hip.. so i guess thats where his head is

I know babies can engage in labour but its always nice to hear good news..

Also.. im worried as im on the large side that they cant feel Noa properly and what if they get it all wrong and he turns and they dont notice cuz they cant feel cuz of all the floppy bits??

well im of now anyway.. it take me 45- 50 min to walk there

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

Goodluck hun, hope it goes well!! x x

 

[Esoames]

I've got mw today as well, 2pm. Am hoping she says Isla has dropped as I definately feel different. We shall see.

Hospital bags are packed, even got snacks and pop for me and DH. Just need some magazines for us both.

Very excited now I can't wait to meet her

Good luck ladies!
Em x

I'm waiting for community midwife to come round! It's driving me mad as I hate waiting in! Especially since I'm knackered! I don't see being told that he's not engaged as bad news. I'm beginning to think that I'm too laid back and relaxed about stuff, everyone seems stressed about engagement etc and I'm like 'eh *shrug* if he's engaged, he's engaged if not I trust that he will be at some point'. I'm the same way with most stuff like him being head down or labour and birth happening the way I want. Should I be less relaxed about everything?

 

[isobel84]

oh well...
HE IS 4/5 ENGAGED!! I know its not much but its a start!!
When i got there tho i started to feel so hot in the waiting room, and there was no plastic cups for the water.. I was so close to faint and they fanned me and got me water and my bloodpressure was 92/50 it always around 120/75. I wasnt aloud to leave until i felt better.
I saw in my records now tho that i had trace of protein in my urine? what does this mean?

Noa is growing normally, she said its very hard to tell but she would say he is average, i can do average i was 37 cm so thats all good
