same here with the sleep . I literally have to be exhausted before I can sleep and even then I wake constantly,mother nature preparing us for what's ahead! well she can prepare my oh too!!!

I just keep thinking in my head 6 more weeks then I'm off again .

BelindaL

I have a couple of weeks hols left I think but trying desperatly to hold on to them to add to end of my maternity leave alongwith 2 weeks from next years to give me an extra month wirh baba. Also contemplating unpaid leave maybe... but we'd need to c how finances are obviously.

Painting nursery today. Two walls a dark grey and the others a lighter grey. Will furnish with white cot etc and then add colour pending on the wee person!

That sounds lovely Belinda!!

We have new rules at work that hols can't be carried over to next year, so will have to take them before maternity leave,but I'm not complaining lol!!

Is it wrong that I'm a little in denial that it's coming so quick? I keep thinking it's ages away but its really not!!

I have 2 boxes of 1's now. No 2's yet.... how much of 1's do u think we'll need?? Need to buy baby clothes too for hospital too.... find it hard to buy them for some reason!

Anyone using anything to prevent strech marks??

bobskii

I've one box of 1's gonna get another of them and then see how I go . might get one box of s2 . they reckon ya shouldn't stoc up on a certain brands in case babs is allergic.

I'm just using moisturiser the ones I have from my first are there . still white so haven't got any fresh ones yet,I say yet but if my tummy stretches much more ill have stretch marks on my stretch marks . great Craic this baby stuff :P

I suffered from stretch marks very badly in my teens coz I grew so fast. to be honest-nothing ever worked and my internet research this time around says the same. The creams smell lovely but don't actually prevent the buggers And bobskii-I already have stretch marks on stretch marks!!!

I'm only getting one box of 1's and my pack for the hospital for the moment because depending on weight they may be out of them very fast!

bobskii

yup im of the same opinion . If your Gonna get them you'll get them anyway!

You are right on the stretch marks, they are hereditary. Creams won't stop them. So glad I slept last night, I have some hope of getting through school today. Have a good week everyone :-)

bobskii

mirrorwall14

It's not even small break and so far I've had two dizzy spells, threw up my breakfast after running out of my first years and my back already hurts. I'm assuming the dizziness is just exhaustion. Let this day be over already

bobskii

it could be blog pressure either you need to keep an eye on that

bobskii

blood pressure even!

mirrorwall14

Well it's ok on my home monitor this evening and things did settle after that (116/75). I might bring the monitor tomorrow just to keep an eye on it if I'm feeling as crappy as today!

At max I have six weeks left of work!! How amazing is that???

millie14

I find those big pregnancy pillows that can go behind your back and then there is a long bit for your bump great for helping to get sleep.
keeps you upright too if reflux is an issue.
am drinking gaviscon from the neck of the bottle, feck then spoon.

mirrorwall14

Got a long pillow in argos today so hopefully sleep is a bit better tonight. I'm on two zantac a day plus gaviscon/rennie as I go. Its a PITA!
