I think I am nesting a lot though, nothing is satisfying me, that's good, it means I'm close! It's terrible, I want to let the baby grow as much as possible, but I am so tired of waiting.
I know what you mean. I want him here now but I know he needs a bit more time and I really don't want him to arrive before the date for cs, definitely don't want to end up having an emergency one! ;-)0 -

No, they are not ideal, longer to recover from and more stress. Now that i have a section date too I find myself praying natural comes first (now that it is safe for me), and not out of impatience, okay, maybe a little out of impatience.
So most of us have the bags ready? That's good, though no doubt we'll double check again!0 -
I've checked it and re-checked it. I think I have everything I need. The one thing I need to get is a little container to hold water for when I'm washing him.wolfpawnat wrote: »No, they are not ideal, longer to recover from and more stress.

What's your date? I'm sure I read it back a few pages but I can't remember. Mine is the 18th.0 -

Bathing the baby is the thing that freaks me out the most! I'm sure it'll become second nature to us eventually. I must look up the apps. Thanks for that. :-)
I know
. I'm bad enough bathing myself, slipping and sliding around! Can't imagine having a little baby to bathe too. I've been looking up loads of videos but they all seem to do things differently. Some start washing the head first and some the body. Our midwife at the antenatal class said the baby only needs to be bathed properly twice a week so I'll go with that. 0 -

I think I'd be kinda scared if I knew I was having a section too but you won't see or feel anything so at least that some kind of consolation 8-O x
I had an emergency one last time, so that was scary, you wonder about all the things that can go wrong, with a planned one I will be given antibiotics before hand, I will be awake, I will be able to feel then taking it out (you feel slightly uncomfortable as they safely maneuver it out).
It is so weird seeing everyone referring to him or her, I am still at "it" I think though if I didn't have that one last surprise now though I would be upset, it is my last surprise, but still I wish I didn't have to refer to the baby as it. Weird. 0 -
Lovely chatting with you girls. Pity we're all scattered around the country, it'd be lovely to meet up with the babies once they're all here.wolfpawnat wrote: »I had an emergency one last time, so that was scary, you wonder about all the things that can go wrong, with a planned one I will be given antibiotics before hand, I will be awake, I will be able to feel then taking it out (you feel slightly uncomfortable as they safely maneuver it out).

We should keep in touch afterwards. I'm sure I'll be looking for advice and reassurance at times!
Have a lovely Saturday girls. Chat soon again. X0 -

Yeah my first. Starting to get really annoyed with everyone ringing and texting every day asking if theres any news yet!! Hopefully baby decides to move his lazy bum soon
One thing I learnt from no1, never tell people your due date, they irritate the hell out of you then any day after. I just said, when I know you will know. I told them all a week after out of annoyance. You'll be there very soon 0 -

Ugh hormones are being a b*tch today. There's a mirror on my landing that we walk past, n I stop to check my reflection n look at the bump. It's my bump, am I not allowed to look at it? My mam saw me n goes "would you stop looking at yourself in the mirror".. I dunno why I got so annoyed n upset over it. Am I not allowed look at myself? It's not as if I stand there for hours admiring myself, or constantly stop to look at myself. It's right there when you walk on the landing, n its hard not to look at my bump. I look coz I'm self conscious about the size of me, about how flabby I look, n now I feel like she thinks I'm being vain when there's no way I am vain... I know its stupid trivial stuff to be upset about but damn hormones just attack when they feel like it.

Aw tell me about the hormones. I've done nothing but cry and be weepy all day. Had a huge fight with the babies's father again, think I've just about had enough of him. I told him to find somewhere else to live. I think I need to spend the next few weeks on my own and focus on being stress free for the baby. My Mums cousin was down visiting and she really opened my eyes up to a few things about him. She thinks he's bipolar which I believe too but I can't use that as an excuse for him to be horrible to me. I have major guilt about subjecting the baby to all of this stress and strain

If you think it's best, maybe it would be good to spend the next few weeks getting ready for the baby. As people say when I talk about my baby's father, me n baby are most important n the extra anxiety n stress isn't good for us! We need to concentrate on our bodies n prepare for labour. *hugs* we're here if you need to talk xx0 -
Know the feeling loubian, these days all i look at is the bump, never myself.
i nearly boiled alive today. went out dressed in normal clothes.... yeah this has to be the warmest day in two years, felt dizzy and everything. came home and put on summer clothes, felt better immediately. a bit swollen, but the weather has part of the blame for that too.
it is hard work carrying a baby in this heat. i cant wait to relax tonight 0 -

Aw thanks for the air hugs
. Feel a bit better now, friend is over and I've got it off my chest. Just not sure what to do, I have another hospital appointment in the morning and I'd love if he was there. Weighing everything up, he has been good to me helping out with the house the last week but I don't need that stress either 0 -

Ugh just got a text from the father about the meeting tomorrow. I half hoped he wouldn't show up. I'm so so nervous now I am on the verge of tears just thinking about having to sit with him. I know I could cancel still but I dont want to chicken out. If though tomorrow morning I'm still really really really nervous, I might text n say it's not on because I actually feel sick with nerves I don't want my bp to be high either for my appointment n I don't want the stress of it to put me into labour, esp wh him there ughhh 0
