  • Congratulations butterfly! Little Rebecca is beautiful. I was looking into raspberry leaf in Sunday but maybe I'll skip it.

    Squeak i tracked my hospital bag last night, I'm definitely prepared with the bags now. Just waiting to go. 

    our nursery furniture is coming next week, can't wait to put it all up and the baby's things away!

    im hopefully meeting up with my pregnant friend today to compare notes ha

    Hope the caffeine gets baby moving hadepop!!

  • Hello peeps, sorry to interrupt but was wondering if those of you with kids already might like to share some tricks on how to keep them entertained during rainy days or holidays at home? There's a voucher to be won! Please just post on this thread.

  • I am due on the 13th. I soooooo do not want to be overdue so hoping I have my little one between those dates too :-). 

  • Panic over!

    Literally had my phone and maternity notes in my hand ready to call them & the little bugger had a mad 10mins of kicking :-) I reckon it was my increased heart rate as I had just started to really worry!

    My theory is that it has no room left due ti constipation (sorry TMI)

    Runner...lets hope so; have you had a look at this website for a laugh:

    Now that we are all ladies of leisure lol! X

  • Ah congratualtions Butterfly!!  She is beautiful!  Sorry you had a traumatic time :-(  I am sure she makes it all worthwhile though?!

    Sorry I have been a bit quiet ladies - been trying to keep myself busy and having little Joshua the whirlwind, my time gets taken up a lot! Ha ha.  I am really slowing now though and have an awful lot of pains and things going on.  But its just my body preparing!

    Squeak and Hadepop - I hope you are right, however, I tend to think my little monkey is going to be a New Year baby!  When we had a growth scan last week, he looked far too comfy for my liking ;-)

    Runner - glad the move went well!  Hopefully you can get settled soon :-)

    Lots of posts have happened since my last post and I can't remember whats been said in all of them, so apologies ladies!

    I am going to pop into town shortly, get my last few Christmas bits.  Josh is at nursery so its lovely and quiet in the Swann household! Lol.

  • Thanks Hadepop, glad your wee one started moving again it's so stressful snd all ypu want is to know they are okay.  

    Thanks Gaeaf15, I think it is useful and I think contributed to productive contractions but it all happened so quickly. When my water went it all can thick and fast. Turned out she was back to back too which didn't help. But I was ready to push in 4 hours which would of been fine if she didn't get stuck. 

    Thanks Swanny absolutely she was worth all of it. She's amazing and im very happy. I had that the pains on and off didn't think I was in proper labour but then stood up and my waters went. Which really kicked things off. Good luck for all those ladies waiting 

  • Hiya, congratulations butterfly,

    yes I was due on the 5th and am team yellow! Got a sweep at 4 o'clock all being well. Had pains on and off for days so I just hope it gets things moving. 

    Will let you know how it goes!

    xx

  • Fingers crossed that the sweep starts things off Danielle, I wonder of you will be next. 

    I've had a really productive day, wrote thank you cards from our baby shower, sorted out matts Xmas present, sorted out the freezer and did some baking. 

    Pickle went mental today and flipped sides, I also think he became un engaged but think he's gone back again. Got my 38 week GP appointment tomorrow so it will be interesting to see of he's engaged more as things do feel different. 

    The first of my NCT babies has been born which is exciting, I'm meeting up with all the ladies tomorrow which should be good. 

    What's everyone else been up to? 

  • Hi ladies, how are we all?

    Glad little one started wriggling for you hadepop, I hate it when my baby has a quiet day! Glad to hear the house is almost sorted too ! I like the decorating - it all comes together so quickly!!

    Danielle how did your sweep go? Anything yet??

    I too have double checked bags and baby stuff to be sure as I can be that it's ready, I have some bigger sized stuff to wash but hopefully we won't need them too soon! ( still hopeful for a normal sized baby lol)

    Had more b/h all last night, fizzled out around 5 am tho :(  don't think a busy day helped any and as we've been out all day today too I'm guessing I'm in for more of the same .... 

    Have a m/w appt tomoz too so we shall see what baby is upto - just hope I don't get sent in for monitoring again !

    On a better note tho : I caved and got my hair done also eyebrows sorted and have been buffed and polished so feel more tidy lol happy to go in whenever baby's ready without apology needed!

  • Lol that's how I felt busymamma knowing that I had pampered myself a little bit! 

    I'm not sure if this is a 'sign' or I'm reading too much into stuff but (Tmi warning!!!) I have been to the toilet three times today...normally I'm lucky if I go every few days!

    Regular Braxton hicks but that's about it! Got my 38w appointment at 8.30 tomoz :)  

  • Thanks Danielle, how did the sweep go?

    Thsts not good squeak however they can re-engage again. The night before I went into labour u could tell Rebecca had moved I felt like her head was right there.  I had pain on and off them all of a sudden  it happened. I didn't have a clue she had changed back to  back don't know when that happened. Hopefully it will be positI've news for you.

    I bet you feel a bit better busymamma now you've had a polish. I did all that the night before maybe it's a sign that you know bubs is near. How did the midwife app go? Hopefully good news

  • Hi squeak. My bowel movements  have been like that the last couple of weeks....very loose! But not with a bad tummy or anything!

    I think it's just your body's way of preparing for Labour, could mean it's soon, could mean it's not!

    Babies can deffo pop out!! However mine popped out and turned last time! Lol. Little monkey!

    Off out today delivering presents to friends, thought I'd best get them delivered just in case!

  • Morning all!

    Swanny I am wrapping prezzies today ready to drop off as 2wks today if not before (scary)... 

    New sofa is being delivered today & OH is clearing out the nursery & laying the carpet so that the baby stuff all over the house can be centralised...then he is plumbing in toilet & sink which means just shower screen to go in bathroom...all ahead of HV home visit tomorrow...can you tell his hand is feeling better...also I bought a storage unit for the lounge which hopefully he will have time to build later (he has taken 2 days holiday to crack on)...

    On another note my pregnancy clumsiness has really kicked in, I just knocked a full mug of coffee all over the brand new floor...whoops!

    Have a good day all xx

  • Well hadepop at least the floor is christened ! Lol well done ;)

    Am still waiting in for m/w.....have rang up as app was booked for am,  only to be told I'm not actually down for one this week and to ring the gp for clinic at surgery!, gp is full for this week and next weeks m/w clinic so I wasn't a happy mummy ( not proud but may have lost a wee bit of temper!) 

    Think someone made a call as I've had two call backs, first from a midwife saying someone from community team will be here by 230 and then the  Drs secretary to say I'm booked into m/w clinic next week ..... Funny how they appear to find appointment time when they need to! Wonder who found the words " consultant lead due to high risk" written on my notes and panicked lol

    Not good tho is it?  The last 3 m/w appointments have been messed up now !

  • Oh no hadepop!! what you like?! I guess there's gonna be a lot worse than coffee spilt on the carpet though in a few weeks! Lol.

    Glad your house is finally getting sorted ready for baby 😊

    Busymamma that is very poor!!!! Especially the fact you are high risk! Hopefully the midwife Will turn up soon!

  • Midwife has now been, was concerned that my dipstick is again glowing! 4+ of glucose this week ! Amongst all the others but thankfully no protein ( Phew)

    Bp was also okay so am booked in next week on Thursday for another checkup and a sweep, induction still booked for Saturday so fingers crossed by the end of next weekend I will be home with baby :) 

    I had better get a good lie in this weekend eh??

  • Oh busymamma!! That's so exciting!!!!!! But I have to say, I am a tad bit jealous 😢 x

  • Ooh exciting Busymamma! Glad they finally turned up...they wanted to see me next week but are fully booked so I wont be seeing them! Apparently there are too many pregnant women right now! 

    I know Swanny it will be nice to actually put baby stuff in their room even tho they wont be sleeping in there, because then I will be able to bring order to the rest of the house hopefully :-) x

  • That's exciting busymama!

    hadepop I'm having our nursery furniture delivered next week and I can't wait to out the things away. ive got so many baby bath things from the baby shower, i don't know if it's nesting I just want everything away now. 

    Move had my first day of maternity when I've had no plans and I've been so bored! And lazy just watching tv. Hope the baby comes soon! 

    are others still seeing the mw every 2 weeks now we are at the end? 

  • Evening ladies been super busy today so only just managed to log on. 

    Had my38w appointment with my GP who seemed to very routine and not as nice as seeing the midwife. Everything is fine, still measuring small but in line with where I have been. Luckily there was no glucose this week!

    Bubba is still engaged but he couldn't tell me how much as he said they don't specialise in that! 

    Then I went to hydrotherapy at the hospital which always makes me tired and hungry! 

    After that is was coffee and cake with some of the NCT ladies. After all the talk of babies and getting ready I then came home and completely blitzed the nursery so feel much happier now it's organised and tidy! Can't wait for the pushchair and car seat to be out of it! 

    Exciting times busymamma knowing you will have a baby soon...like swanny I am also jealous!
