May babies arriving already...
Wow! I just had a nosey at the May forum and there are two babies born early. It's freaked me out a bit. lol. Not long until we start seeing birth announcements in here I expect. I've had a noticeable increase in braxton hicks and some more discharge and baby feels a bit lower but fairly sure I am a long way off at just 31+3
Still I feel happy my body is practicing. Xx

I wrote my birth plan yesterday as well. I really hope I can havd a water birth. I had to go to the hospital last time and the 2 they have were being used. The initial midwife was actually quite rude about it as well. She was obviously having a bad night. ..or she's just a miserable cow.
How's everyone feeling? I'm 33 weeks today and feel shattered. Morning sickness has returned as well which didn't happen with my dd.
I got my double buggy delivered yesterday (ebay) and very pleased. Just need to give itva wipe down and wash the seats.
When are you giving up work Tulip?
Hi ladies,
hope your all ok. Scary that the may babies are already arriving, im 33 weeks tomorrow, when i saw midwife last week she said baby was measuring big and is off my chart, hoping that its just water,
i have no idea what to pack and not pack in my hospital bag so many lists on line don't want to take a really massive bag but don't want to forget somthng either.
things are all getting a bit uncomfortable now, went to town earlier for a few hours and it felt like id run a marathon,
ive got 6 more shifts left at work so will finish on wednesday looking forward to that as i've been finding the night shifts so hard lately. Once I've finished think i will knuckle down and get myself prepared, i still don't think I've realised ill be having a baby in a matter of weeks, still seems to far away!

It is all getting a little scary. I'm due the same day as tuliprose (if I remember correctly) I haven't packed a bag, considered my birth plan as it all seems overwhelming at the moment. I am quite scared about the whole birth process so think that my coping mechanism is to not think about it too much. I've started to get bh too and baby is low down and dances on my bladder regularly.
Loving watching sproglet kick whilst I'm in the bath though. Here's hoping these babies don't all come too early, especially mine as I dont break up from work until 20th May which would make me 35 and a half ish weeks.
The birth was a big issue for me too. We have the placenta scan tomorrow to check if a) it's no longer low lying and b) it's not on my c section scar.
Then I still need to hope cholestasis stays away to avoid an early section.
My Hypnobirthing and lazy daisy classes are really helping the anxiety and make me feel more prepared.
Could you look into something like that?
Hi TulipRose
I might have to look into your suggestions.
I've had an appointment with my midwife today who is pleased with my progress. Sproglet is still head down and because I have done so well concerning my weight (only put on 2.3kgs), placenta is away fromy c section scar so I am all set to deliver naturally. I also took the opportunity to discuss some of my concerns which she has reassured me on some.
I hope your scan has gone well x
