Cbyrd you're a scream, I can't believe you're still working :eek: are you not shattered on your feet most of the day?!
Wish I could say the same about my fridge
I'm doing grand thanks. Totally shattered but at least the morning (all day:mad:) sickness is finally easing off.
I'm so sad I'd my whole bag packed from week 30 last time, little A4 sheet with a printed list of the contents. Oh & had 2 bags, my labour room bag & labour ward bag My poor husband was worried I was planning on moving into the hospital all the stuff I brought! 
Oral Slang I'm so jealous of you with your other half nesting. Wouldn't mind if that would rub off on my other half
Tigeress the time really seems to be flying by with your pregnancy! Yep I'm a hospital appointment Monday. Not too sure if it'll be a scan though, I think its just a consultant/midwife appointment.
I had a scan a fortnight ago though & all was looking well
I must invest in a cheapo doppler so I can listen to the wee peanut. I love the reassurance of being able to hear the heartbeat
Eoino there's half a dozen walls in my house that need painting if you run out of your own to do 0 -

Cap so glad everything is going so well for you how long are you now? I was debating getting a Doppler but decided against it cause I know if I didn't find the heartbeat I'd be freaking out lol
Yeah it's flying in one sense but dragging in another! Still ages to go!
Cybrd how are you still going? I'm only 28 and I'm ready to leave work lol! Fair play to ya!0 -
Somebody hold me back. I've started to notice really grubby paintwork and I'm seriously tempted to pull out the pots of paint.
don't do what i did - the grubby grouting in the shower really annoyed me, so I asked my parents to regrout (my parents love that stuff). However, turned out all the grout was loose, water coming in behind the tiles, tiles coming off, wall behind it slightly rotting. Now we need to get the entire bathroom redone. That's a grand's worth of fixing. :eek: :eek::eek: Shoulda left it well alone, at least for a bit...Njarg. 0 -

It's as simple as this. . i go to work cos i know inbetween haircuts i can sit down. . . at home i have school runs dinners 20 month old lunatic and the temptation to clean the house :eek: the week before last i painted the bathroom cos i had a morning off and i came home from work and finished it. .
So i think i'm better off out of the house only thing is the girl i work with is afraid of her life i'm going to have the baby on the salon floor
And i've a mother who had 7 of us and worked til she went in to labour . . literally so it's like a family tradition:D 0 -
First a/natal appointment tomorrow and scan on Friday, I'm excited as it feels like things are progressing now but so nervous in case they find anything wrong, it's been nearly 5 weeks since my early scan and although babas was happy and healthy at that one alot can change in 5 weeks. I won't be happy until I have this baby safe in my arms 0

Hope everyone is doing OK.
I will be 33 weeks on Tuesday - where has time gone :eek:
I get tired very early in the evenings now. It's a hassle getting out of the bed for the nightly toilet trips aswell - my muscles just ache! Sometimes I wish I could give the bump to my OH to carry, just for one day 0 -

Oh how lovely would that be! Hand it over just for a day
35 weeks here and I can't believe there's only 5 weeks left. It's dragging in mind you, but 35 weeks! I've never been 35 weeks and out in the wild before, by this time on my first I was in hospital. I feel like I'm sneaking about like a ninja on the run and if they find me they'll lock me up No one tell them where I am!

Right so...I'm back.
Other wise known as 'shockedbuthappy'.
I somehow managed to go from never ovulating to getting pregnant to getting pregnant on the pill.
About 4 weeks ago I took the test as I wanted to get depo-vera as I thought Noriday was making me put on weight!!!!
Turns out I was pregnant.
So Wednesday we had the 12 week booking in appointment and scan, only it wasnt. Isaw the midwife and doctor, who were all happy but when we went in for the scan, turns out I was 21 weeks pregnant.
So I was told I was now having my 20 week, big scan!
I think I am still in shock, suddenly everything is coming along very quickly. My daughter was 1 on Sunday last!!
I know there is another poster here who only found out they were pregnant at 6 months, I always thought that was impossible but now I know it can happen.
I wasn't sick, tired anything, I still had periods, because of the pill.
So 31st of January I'll hopefully have 2 kids under a year and a half.
Congratulations & welcome back my goodness I can only imagine the shock! I'm so glad everything is going good though! I've read about things like this happening in magazines but always wondered.. I hope the shock is settling down for you Hun! But what an amazing shock it is
I'm just about in my 28th week and loving it it's hard and painful but I just love feeling all the kicks & punches hehe! My OH blows Raspberries on my bump & our little baba goes nuts! Not sure if they like or dislike them but it's an awesome feeling only 10 days till our scan Yey! I'm dying to know what we're having! Although we're finding picking names hard.. We have one girl name & one boy name we Absolutley love but for life nor man can we decide on extra names just encase! We love the ones we've picked so much that no others seem right.. 0 -

Hello, I'm 27 weeks. Just wondering if anyone else is the same or has had a baby that time of year before?:)
Welcome fee123 I'm not too far ahead of ya! This is my 1st and although I'm not worried about labour (yet) I am worrying about the snow!! I'm in the Midlands and we didn't get it as bad as Dublin last year but I'm hoping it won't be a prob or us hope your Pregnancy is going good! 0 -
Hi Tigeress thanks and congrats to you. I'm due the 23rd when are you due? Everything going well thank goodness my main complaint is 24hr heartburn, can't wait to be able to pig out again!! How is your pregnancy going??
I was also worried about the condition of the roads and traffic at Christmas. I am lucky enough to live in between two hospitals both 30 min by car so I was able to choose the one that has good roads to it and no holiday traffic! So that's that part sorted, now to deal with the labour haha! Do you have much distance to travel to your hospital?
I was looking into hypnobirthing today actually think I might do this. My son is 7 now so much of his birth is long forgotten. One thing I do remember is feeling out of control. Is this something you have been thinking of?0 -

Congrats wmpdd3!
I'm 20 weeks since yesterday. Went home to Ireland for a week and had a long day of travelling yesterday. I was a bit worried about that but it went well. Only thing now is my pelvis is really achy now! Think I will take it easy for a few days and not go on any long journeys!
Have my monthly gyny appointment tomorrow, looking forward to it as usual!
Oh in the last week my bump has gotten enormous! I don't think anyone will think I just ate all the pies now! 0 -
cbyrd have you not had that baby yet?
Well, good news from me, they're happy that I have control of the gest. diabetes so I don't have to go back to the diabetic clinic any more woohooo! I think they're panicking a bit though. Turns out the baby weighs 5lbs 4oz, whereas on my first baby was 6lbs 11oz at this stage, so I'm wondering have I gone a bit too far with the diet and baby isn't as big as it should be?
Either way I'm free of blood tests for the next while so that will ding dang do for me 0 -
Hello, I'm 27 weeks. Just wondering if anyone else is the same or has had a baby that time of year before?:)
Due 19th-21st of Dec... and terrified over the roads and the weather at Christmas. We're in Leopardstown and for some reason the clinic gave options of the three maternity hospitals in the centre of the city - I'm in Holles Street. Which is great, but I really didn't realise that Mount Carmel was so close. I suppose it'll be fine unless it's an emergency. I've himself told that he has to do a few practice runs so he knows the best routes - he's terrible at directions.
Other than that I'm mostly worried about keeping the baby warm once home and whether to go for walks and stuff... Apart from the actual labour bit, and breastfeeding, that's my main worry.
I can't control the other stuff, whether or not the baby sleeps at night etc, so I'm letting that go. I'm wise (and fooling myself) that way! 0 -

I'm not 100% sure yet lol my Doc thinks 11th Dec, the last Antenatal on the hospital put me a week after & my chart says Xmas Day! I'll find out for sure next Wed as I'm in for another scan then
I know only too well about the heartburn
it's rotten at the moment for me too! Galvascon does help though! I'm only 20 mins from Portlaoise Hospital so it's grand for travel but the roads were super icy in Dec last year so I'm hoping it won't be so bad this year either way the Miswife told us that if we get snowed in then they send an Army Helicopter to get ya :O needless to say my OH is hoping to be snowed in lol
I haven't looked into the Hypnobirthing at all to be honest.. I'm kinda winging it hehe I'm hoping for a normal natural birth and not need pain relief but in saying that I'm very open to pain relief too
Is your baby moving lots now? I feel like I'm having an octopus at times here hehe lovin it though!0 -

That's great news Hannibal you must be delighted! I'm in for my Gestational Diabetes test on Tues next week and not looking forward to it! In a way if they said I had it I'd be happy cause I'd be much better at eating on the other I don't want the hassle! That prob makes no sense!
Congrats on getting to the half way Mark Ivy I find that some days I wake up and my bump has just grown over night! It's very surreal lol 0 -
Congrats that's brilliant news! I hate you! But it's still great news!
Does that mean you don't even have to bother with testing yourself though???
If yes, then I hate you more!Hannibal Smith wrote: »cbyrd have you not had that baby yet?
