*~*~* September 2015 Mummies *~*~*

[katherine6476]

That's good news bunny.

I've finally packed my hospital bag! I'm 37 weeks today so fully cooked! Started on the raspberry leaf tea yesterday and had shocking Braxton hicks last night! Worse than usual. Don't know if it was linked or not! Keep reading conflicting advice about it. Some say it only tones uterus while my midwife said it can make u contract which is why it's not recommended in early pregnancy.

 

[Bunny432]

I've been drinking it since 36 weeks and then when I turned 37 weeks on Saturday I've been having more then one cup a day and my pains have got worse but I think that makes sense when it's toning your uterus?

Thanks ladies really happy and excited. Going to do some more work on the ball to get her to turn more tonight, adjusted my car seat so I'm not sitting as slouched, sitting with cushions behind my back on the sofa etc. I feel confident she will turn when labour starts anyway so not as worried as I was and apparently for 1 in 4 women that's baby's are back to back its right for them because the shape of their cervix! Just letting my body do its thing and hope it's what's right for us x x

I had rlt from 32 weeks with my first and had a lot of it. Not once in my first pregnancy did I get Braxton Hicks and I had very intense contractions which I think was due to my lack of BH

My little lady is very quiet today had the odd tickle here and there but she is definitely not as active. I've still got a headache and feel generally tired!
Think I may get on my ball tonight as well Bunny. Maybe after my son has gone to bed as he seems to think it is a football lol x

 

[hayes]

Hope ur little lady has perked up now Kelly.

I'm starting to have a panic in thinking I'm guna b a Mum of two in two weeks n I'm scared. I'm scared of everything, not giving Harry enough time, attention, love. Worried I won't b able to give baby what I gave Harry as there's now two of them. No time for me(selfish I know)n just generally worried about no sleep again n if I can cope with it all.

Sorry that all cane out in a rush. Just realising how close it all is n how young Harry is just want the best fir my babies n want to b a good Mum.

Ahh Michelle! I totally understand. I haven't really thought this but I have felt guilt. Mainly for Joshua as he will no longer be centre of attention and I feel so bad for him.
Think about it this way, your new baby gets to come into a family with a ready made big brother. That's a bonus your son never had. Your son has you and your husbands full attention at all times so they both have something different from being a baby.
At the same time, your son will enjoy experiencing the upbringing of his little brother or sister and helping you out whenever possible. I read a post not long ago that was lovely. I will find it and share it xx

Thanks hun that's just really bought tears to my eyes. I guess it's just the unknown but we will cope of course everyone does.

[Kelly450]

It did create tears for me too.
I hope you can feel more positive soon xxx

Michelle I have just been speaking to a friend about all this. Feel at 37 weeks I should be gagging to meet her, but I al jist excited to have some time with Belle and am in no rush to have her. Feel so awful as know I will love her with all my heart, and Belle can't wait, but it's almost like I am so close now my emotions have shut off from it all. When our babies are here everything will be just perfect I am sure, but trust me you are not alone in how you feel xx

 

[Kelly450]

She is still very quiet. She usually goes crazy in the evening! I've given her bum a push and she wiggled away but that is all. She must be as tired as I am lol xx

 

[Mary Poppins]

I am sure you know this kelly but ice drink and lay on left side xx

 

[Mary Poppins]

Anyone noticed how the August mummies are coming to an end now? You know what that means....

 

[Kelly450]

I haven't looked recently but I did notice their page wasn't really being used much now. Ours will be like that very soon and facebook group will take over!
I think baby is about to drop out of me, the pressure down below is ridiculous! Maybe I'm going to properly start waddling x

 

[H16]

Ohhhh Bunny, can't believe how close you are to giving birth, maybe it will be you next? pleased your appointment went so well Hun xx

Ladies I feel same way about having two kids soon, happy but guilty at same time and almost a little bit of dread about how Ruby will react etc. Deep down I know after she gets used to having a brother she will love it as she adores playing with other kids of any age etc and having a little buddy at home permanently will be great for her but it is just the initial adjustment period that scares me. Feel so guilty that she won't get our full attention anymore but I am sure it will all work out in the end. Natural feelings for us all I think!

Tessa omg that is scary lol.

I am layed on bed with Ruby asleep next to me snoring and spluttering away as she can't breath properly bless her. Going to be a long night I think haha x

 

[H16]

Ohhhh Kelly are you going to kick us off? how's movement now Hun? Ruby went super quiet 2 days before being born...

 

[Kelly450]

Ahh bless you, hope you manage to get some sleep above the toddler snoring lol x

She has been very quiet but still have felt her so not concerned. I think she may have decided to bury herself a little lower though so maybe that is why x

 

[Gillyboos]

Just flirting on after feeding the girls, finding it a bit tricky keeping up now we are home!
I understand where you are coming from re: becoming a mum for the second time, I had all the same fears but so far it has been great. Seeing Otto interact with his sisters melts my heart. He's been really good about it all, they only hold his interest for a short amount of time atm as they don't do much! He will sit with us as we feed them and we let him 'help'. When they nap he has our attention and wants to play with us more than he did before. So far it has been totally positive and exceeded all expectations. I'm sure it will be the same for all your little ones as well.
Kelly, I hope little one has had a wriggle now. I wonder if what H mentioned could be the case, a sign of something to come!
Can hear someone stirring again so I better go. Will try and catch up properly tomorrow. Xx

EEEeeek! It means it's our turn!!!!!!

Aww you second time mums will be fine, your little ones may lose being centre of attention but it's not all it's cracked up to be - I was an only child until I was 8 and I HATED it!! I was so desperate for a brother or sister - I used to throw a penny in the wishing well in town and make the same wish every time! So when my brother came along he was my most important 'thing' haha (still is - but don't tell him that haha)

Kelly & Bunny sounds like things are really progressing for you!!! I'm still feeling pretty good to be honest - got more energy/just the usual niggles and BH but nothing to make me think labour is around the corner so pretty sure my little chap is going to have me waiting past due date ...
I am however officially in the 'Two week wait' again! It's a lot more exciting this end though!!! xxx

 

[Bunny432]

Woke up to some gorgeous news - will attach now

I'll catch up properly when I get to the office - still plugging away at OH's work x x

 

[Kelly450]

Can't believe your 38 weeks already! I know I am tomorrow but it seems like it's just sort come upon us without warning!

I can't see labour coming either. However, last time I couldn't see it coming then my waters randomly went in the middle of the night and it all started from there! :-D
