haha I bow down to you! My old jeans are tucked away in a spare closet right now waiting to see the light of day again....whenever that may be.
Hope everything is ok with your BP! (and that you aren't stuck waiting eons in the maternity!)
I can't sleep well at all these days...the bump is just too awkward...and if one more person tells me to sleep now cause i'll never sleep again I might hurt them :mad:0 -
I might have the odd pair of jeans that I still theoretically *fit* in, whether or not I would ever get out of them again is another question altogether
I am still changing from pj to leggins and a dress or long jumper (they still fit, although obviously a bit higher up now) in the mornings, but that is mainly because I have taken to wearing the long nightdresses and it is too cold in them during the day
The thought of wearing maternity jeans now is really not appealing, I don't feel I need any support on the bump either (maybe again when it drops?), but I invested in five pairs of nice warm leggins for the price of one real maternity item and am convinced that is the way to go.0 -
I'm refusing to get involved in the discussion re clothes fitting :eek: will more than likely be wearing my maternity gear not only home from the hospital but for the foreseeable future
Had my appt today!! baby is measuring 6 lbs 5 oz (estimate) and everything looks perfectly normal. Babys head isnt engaged yet although she is head down and has been since 20 weeks. Couldn't make out much on the ultrasound as there isnt much room left in there.
Only bad point was when the oh decided to tell both midwife and consultant that I was tired and doing too many hours in work. :mad: really bothered me as I know my own limitations and am fully prepared to take time off/go home early if I need to....end up with a severe tongue lashing with the consultant saying that I'm full term next week and did I really want to be going from work to the hospital. I'm 31 not 13 thanks!!!0 -

My midwife told me today she believes we should only work till 36 weeks, I'm finishing tomorrow at 38 weeks and really struggled with the last two. Feet swelled up got v tierd etc. wish I had arranged to go earlier with hindsight. But it's all ok I'm finished work for at least 9 months tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot wait!!
At appointment today baby is head down and engaged! Looks like it will be around 8lb she said!
Lots if cramps tonight. Can feel that pressure down low I've heard others mention. Exciting times ahead! Hope ye are all doing well girls.0 -

I know how you feel- I think its a good thing to keep busy right up until the end...keeping active and on your feet i think will make recovery much easier! I keep having people tell me that i''m doing too much and ect...but im resting when im tired...why sit around restless and bored the rest of the time?0 -

yayyy!!! congrats on your last day tomorrow- i felt such a sense of relief/accomplishment after i was done! and huzzah for baby being engaged! you and i are due right after one another, wonder who will go first or if we will have babies right around the same time?
My feet/ankles have been really swollen lately...kinda made me paranoid the other night that maybe something was wrong but i think its just that im 38 weeks pregnant haha! baby has been a lot more active the last couple of days than hes been in a couple weeks....and lots of pressure and lightening like pains....wondering whats the story going to be on monday...I have no patience!0 -

Ah I've had such a stress filled day and I'm trying to get my last bits done this weekend like a big shop and oil changed in the car before ntc next week and nothing is going my way. I cried for about an hour earlier out of sheer frustration. Feeling tons of pressure as well and not feeling like baby will wait much longer. Gah can't wait to go home and eat dinner and crawl into bed. 0

Hope you are feeling better rachineire, have your feet up and are being looked after. Funny old emotions eh. I was like a bear this morning and in a funny mood this evening too. It's a roller coaster all right but only a matter of days for us really! Then the real hard work starts!! Eerkkkk!Rachineire wrote: »Ah I've had such a stress filled day and I'm trying to get my last bits done this weekend like a big shop and oil changed in the car before ntc next week and nothing is going my way.

I got a few bits in the freezer, OH loves cooking up big batches and now unfortunately the freezer is full to the max, would love to put more in to have high quality 'ready meals', what I have in there is chili con carne, home-made protein bars, beef stew and two slices of carrot cake, and then the standard freezer stuff like bread, Ben&Jerry's, frozen veg and loads and loads of raspberries and apple puree from what our garden had to offer this year.
OH went to Dublin yesterday and I just refused, I find people doing their Christmas shopping unbearable even when not pregnant, the thought of having to deal with that now was just not for me. Had the longest sleep ever today and now my hips are in bits!
Your hubster is more than welcome into my kitchen hun any time, my freezer has chips ect lol
There is a bug going girls becareful girls, but then again im a walking ailment myself lol im afraid to tell the hubster now when summits up (i still tell him)
I was eating dinner the other night n i bit my lip and put my hand up to my lip and winced, my four year old looks up n says "what now mammy" that will tell yas how bad i am
Nearly there girls we can do this
the second babs is in your arms the puke, piles, pee ect is all forgotten n then we have a perfect bundle of joy with puke pee poo ect 0 -
Worst night sleep (or lack of should I say) todate. Diarrhea nausea and super sore cramps all night. I wonder are these early signs? Still have all the above symptoms. Feel yeuk.
I know diarrhea can be an early sign of impending labour! keep an eye on it, could be the start of something!
I've made a few things and have frozen them....I made a ton of banana walnut bread, pumpkin bread (sweet not savory!), some veg soup as well. our freezer is jam packed now! I was planning on making some bolegnese sauce since we eat a lot of spaghetti but there is no room...maybe if we have some room before baby comes. I figure i can pull stuff out of the freezer and leave it to thaw during the day and we can pick at it when we want it!
I know in the states people bringing over hot meals is the done thing after a baby is born...is it the same here? I've brought over meals to friends before but never asked if anyone else would do the same!
I'm so happy to not leave the house again for a while. Ive left everything else in my OH's hands. I'm just too sore and tired and I just want it all over with now! really looking forward to my hospital visit in the morning cause im hoping I will hear some good news about something...lol maybe i shouldnt get my hopes up! I had a dream last night that the baby turned breech and i had to get a c-section.
I had coffee with a friend friday and she was absolutely shocked to see me driving still...she was like isn't that too dangerous to be driving when your so big (:rolleyes:)...I asked her who else would drive? and sure what do women with other children do...no rules to that kind of stuff when it comes to pregnancy...just gotta do what you gotta do!0 -

scrgirl watch that, i've heard that there is a nasty tummy bug going around. Make sure you get plenty of fluids. Rachineire I dont know if its the same in the u.s. but flat 7up cures all ailments here :rolleyes:
well i had quite an eventful day yesterday...was in a restaurant with my family, used the toilet and went back and sat down at the table and finished my meal. When i stood up to go noticed that the seat was wet, there wasnt pool of water or anything but it was definite wetness and my leggings were wet too :eek:
My sis was there as well and she brought me to Boots and i bought pads which I wore home but the pad stayed bone dry. Didnt want to ring hospital but she convinced me and ended up in for a couple of hours on a trace. Urine test showed up protein which is indicative of amniotic fluid (bp was normal so no worry of pre-e) but amniosure test came up negative for amniotic fluid. Am left wondering if I had a leak only the test isnt foolproof/had washed it away or whether i wet myself :eek:
Anyway was sent home with instructions to monitor myself, wear a pad and watch out for flu like symptoms. On the plus side, the babys head, which wasnt engaged on thurs, is now engaged and my bump has definitely dropped 0 -

Thanks piper. Funny I sent oh for 7up first thing! Didn't work. I'm sticking to water. I had some of those chicken noodles u get in Chinese supermarkets and they really do help. That and cream crackers.
Wow that does sound eventful. So are your waters gone? How many weeks are u? You will be watching every twinge like a hawk now!0 -

yes its official, confirmed at my appointment today, this baby is never leaving from inside of me.
Hes free floating. but still head down. So that means no hope of an induction date. no sneaky sweeps. nada.
I'm scheduled to come back in two days past my due date. and he told me that unless something drastic happens my tentative induction if i need one will be the 25th of December.
I also got yelled at for not taking the iron. and they took more blood and blew out another vein. So im going to eat some roses and lie in bed....serious case of the Mondays here. 0
