bobskii

lashofeye

Knickers

lashofeye

Oh God ladies hope ye are all doing well now?..........

bobskii

that's my intention for the labour bag too . Then a separate one with the rest in.

mirrorwall14

That sounds good. Anyone want to do a list for the other bag? I'm in the picking experienced people's brains mode


Also for a laugh, my boy does not seem to appreciate kegal exercises, I get the crap kicked out of me rofl. And if anyone doesn't have it there's an app for it that has progressive levels, I'm finding it good!

Hey everyone,

yep Lashes the gyne is saying that I wont be going past 37 weeks come whatever so that's around the 3rd of Jan, however that's a Saturday so I seriously doubt that he will come in at the weekend to section me so prob the week after that. I have it in my head now that im having a c section so if I go into labour early i'll be at a loss at what to do.

I haven't heard of the belly support Bobski, I think I will have a look for one, my back is in bits, my hips and now my knees have gone whallop, its mostly nerve pain running all the way down, tbf ive put on about 2 and and half stone so im putting pressure on my back

Am not badly off though as I haven't had any other illnesses like the flu etc like some of the ladies on here, dunno how Id manage that, would go into a major sulk. I am making terrible groaning noises when I get up fierce groaning and grunting, my OH just looks but thankfully says nothing

bobskii

what's the name of the app mirrorwall?did you get a list of stuff from the hospital to bring in with you?

mollies definitely look up the support I've seen loads of different ones but carrying twins I'd say you would benefit from it . Your other half obviously knows what's good for him

bobskii

millie sorry not mollies!

Lashes28

Yeah all good with me, they made me lie down and drink water, my midwife rang me today to make sure I was ok,bless her.

What size bag are people bringing?? I have a suit case that you would be able to bring on an airplane, and large carry bag thing, but even struggling with that

Watched a video of a lady giving birth last night.
NEVER. AGAIN

That's kinda nice to have a good date set though I'm laughing here at the giving birth!

It's called kegal aerobics, very simple just guides you but can set up reminders etc.

I realised I need to be more consistent when (TMI) the little fecker kicked me yesterday in aldi and I totally peed!! I didn't even need to go luckily I was wearing trousers under a dress but was totally mortified!!

bobskii

that made me lol mirrorwall! although I know how ya feel.,getting kicked there is not fun!!Think this baby must be doing summersaults cos I get kicked everywhere!!!
lashes why????!!!There isn't a chance of me watching anybody giving birth at this stage!!I used to watch one born even minute and that was enough for me!

Lashes28

Mirror wall,I'm gonna make ya feel ok,last week I had my flu,I had to wear a pad!! Coughing was ok, until whatever way baby is lying,boom it waslike niagra falls!! Lol being pregnant has really lowered my standard in life every way lol!!

I actually dunno why the heck I watched it,but I bawled like a baby throughout it! Haa I'm gonna look back on how I'm behaving and realise how hormonal I am without realising it,

more cells in my pee yesterday too antibiotics have not cleared up the infection or so it seems!!

millie14

The kicks in the bladder are excruciating . I have to run to the loo immediately, I guess they are running out of room in there.

Am bringing a big suitcase with a little bag inside to bring to theatre or delivery room, that has nightdress , knickers and pads and the babies outfits and nappies. Mid- wife at ante natal class advised me to pack the twins gear in two zip lock freezer bags that the OH can just take out of bag and hand to nurses so ive done that .

......Then this afternoon I noticed my boobs had leaked! don't even know what it was that came out. Oh the glamour of pregnancy

Kez1989

Hi all,
I'm due 15th January!
Took almost 6 years to conceive! So we are over the moon!
I'm having elective section in clonmel clueless as to the procedure any stories from elective section would be really appreciated and finally congrats on all ur pregnancys. Xxx

bobskii

that reminds me must get zip lock bags!!
I must finish packing my bag I'm so lazy . will do it next week ,must check my list of things left to get.

eill I you need another course of antibiotics lashes?
I'd imagine space is getting tight considering it's getting tight here with just one in there!!

bobskii

We done the whole clomid lap and dye etc etc... Then we decided that April was the last month trying before having a break and trying iui ivf and bammm pregnant congratulations urself Hun x

fall

Welcome and congrats Kez. Had a similar journey myself. Last procedure in March ( lap, dye, d and c and hysteroscopy) and then positive result in April. Couldn't believe it after five years of trying.
Delighted that you had a positive result with ivf Bobskii. Have to get my act together packing my bags this weekend.

bobskii

still find it hard to believe sometimes till I catch sight of my pregnant belly and think oh Yeh your definitely pregnant alright
I must finish baby's room too I'm getting very slack!

Lashes28

I dunno bobskii, they have send off my sample to see if it grows again so I presume more antibiotics if it does..

Oh she could feel baby's head down but said at this stage by the time I got to the car park she could have changed position.

Millie leaky boobs how embarrassing, were you at home?? I remember that happening at work on my last pregnancy,I had to do a walk of shame to penneys to buy a new bra and top, mortified! Have you gained much weight with the twins? I think I would just pop if I had two in there, even with one I'm wondering when she's gonna slow down growing

No rush on the baby room,sure isn't that what maternity leave is for?? They won't be in it for ages anyways!!

millie14

Hi Lashes, I hope the infection clears up soon, cant imagine doing this sick.....!, ive put on two and a half stone.....so far
Started off nine and a half and am five ft four, consultant just laughed when I asked am I going to get much bigger and said oh god yes. tbf it's all bump but my centre of gravity is seriously off kilter.

Was going for a swim when the boobs leaked, swimming is the only thing that relieves my back and hip pain , prob cos im weighless. Noticed it when I took off my hoody and top.

Welcome and congrats kez

On Mid term now so off but without the guilt or the feeling I need to hide out at home! My OH insisting we go away for a break, I used to love going away before but I think the nesting has kicked in in a big way I am happy as a pig in ****e at home at the min!!!
