And thanks to you all - you've been a great support throughout my whole pregnancy and some of you also throughout the difficult ttc process!
Its so amazing to have a place to come where people understand exactly how your feeling and where you can rant and rage and moan without having to do it to your 'real life' friends who dont always appreciate your circumstances!!
Im full of excitement and anxiety over tomorrow - I have no doubt at all that it will be the best day of my life and even that thougt is a little overwhelming. Im anxious about how the day will go and just want the hard part to be over so that i can feel well and be holding my little girl! My only wish is that she is healthy and happy and after that the rest will fall into place!
I promise to update ye as soon as im capable!! and hopefully at some point put up my birthing story so that other ppl with breech babies can feel reassured that while its not first choice a section really aint that bad!
Baby has the hiccups at the mo...god im gonna miss my bump! Im just looking forward to getting to know her out in the real world now!!
Best of wishes to you all - i certainly will be hanging around this thread alot to seehow you are all doing with your pregnancies!
May all your dreams come true and happy and healthy babies be in your arms soon, x x x
All the very very best of luck, you will be just fine! So exciting!!!

Aw lovely post Dublinlady, I'm so excited for you!!!!!
Feel's like it was only days ago we were on our ttc journey & here you are now your last night before baby arrives!
I hope everything goes really well tomorrow & that you recover very fast x
Can't wait to see your update when baby arrives
I didn't get to bed til after 2am last night, I was getting some strongish braxton hicks.
So funny in hindsight, at the back of my mind I knew well nothing was happening as I had the same on my last pregnancy, but I started thinking I don't have my hospital bag packed yet
I had visions of having to get the other half to go to the shops and pick up the essentials. That wouldn't be good
So going to get the finger out and get the last few bits'n'pieces bought and packed for it over the weekend.
I already had several packs of newborn vests/babygro's, so have them all washed, dried & will pack them over the weekend. The size of the teeny vests & socks awwwwwwwww!!0 -

Due date +5 today. Baby is taking it's time to make an appearance. Constant discomfort now along with serious indigestion problems.
Get ooooooooouuuuuuutttttt!!
Mrs Seorg.
Ooh I hope baby get's the hint and get's out soon! I went 14 day's off with my daughter & omg it felt like 14 months! Doesn't help when you have family/friends every day asking things like 'any sign' :rolleyes:
Fingers crossed you won't have too much longer to wait before meeting your little one 0 -

I'm delighted you have a 'round about' date. I bet it seams like a target, must ge before Thursday!!
I was reading you had a show a few days ago. I had one the day I gave birth but I googled it (as you do!) and nearly every site said 'you will go in to labour in the next few weeks'! Very vague.
It's great you had a mini contraction while being monitored, atleast your body is getting ready, baby's head must be inching slowly towards the exit.
Did they do an internal? I remember you say they keep it to the minimum, but wouldn't you love to know if you were 1cm, though I doubt its worth an internal.
So its a sex marathon for you till Thursday then? (!)
Best of luck, what ever happens.
Would you believe I had my show more than 2 weeks ago now! I had an internal on the 2nd, and I was 2 cm dilated! Don't think it means much though seeing as nothing has happened since then!
The sex marathon sounds tempting
but the logistics are understandably a bit difficult at the moment! :P
At least it'll be over and done by thursday! Can't wait to meet him and see who he looks like and all!0 -

Ivy that's brill I'm delighted that you finally have a firm end date in sight!
Are you nervous/excited? I think I would have been on tenterhooks since the show expecting things to happen at any minute!
parnellie that's lovely that you got to find out the sex! I think it's down to the individual themselves when they want to buy, there's no good or bad time as such.
I found out the sex at 23ish weeks last time, I didn't buy a lot of stuff then, just the obligatory pink outfit to celebrate finding out the sex
After that it was probably closer to the 30 week mark before I bought much more stuff.
netty-k I've a bit in 2 minds about the 3d scans. I had one at 22/23 weeks when pregnant with my daughter & it was brilliant.
The scan was really clear & I thought it was worth every cent.
I had a scan at 28 weeks on this pregnancy and to be honest found it really disappointing. I hate saying it, but I wish I'd kept my money and spent it on something useful for the baby instead
Because of the position the baby was lying in (breech) it took a good 30 mins to get anything close to clear footage where you could see the face.
The bit I didn't like was that baby has his/her face nuzzled right into the placenta. So when the nurse zoomed in on the face, it looked distorted & slightly eerie looking.
It's hard to describe, but it didn't leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling after, it left me slightly uneasy weird as that sounds!
I think if you are going to get one done, then get it done before 23/24 weeks so that baby is a bit smaller, has a bit more room to move around & you will have a better chance of seeing him/her.0 -

Ah brillant news Ivy, can't wait to hear how you get on xHow far along is a good time to start buying stuff? im 21wks and finding it hard to resist especially now that i knw im havin a girl xxx
I bought my first thing at 5 weeks :eek: and had most of my stuff bought by 20 weeks
It's completely up to you, some people are superstitious and like to wait until nearer their due dates but I found so many bargins earlier on that I couldn't pass them up, glad I did that now, with less than 6 weeks to go until I'm due to give birth I couldn't imagine having to buy everything now, wouldn't have the energy 0 -

Baby Killian arrived on Wednesday weighing 8lb 13 oz. Mum and baby are both doing great.
Congratulations to Mrs Seorg!!! Hope mum & baby are doing really well. Fine size baby
damnrain congratulations on your pregnancy! Our pregnancy was planned & there was still time's when I broke out in a cold sweat stressing about how we would afford baby, how I'd manage looking after a baby. All sort's of silly things. It is perfectly normal, just try not let it consume you.
I reminded myself women have been having babies since time began, I wasn't the first, wouldn't be the last & that we'd manage.
So far so good! baby is now a 2 year old toddler & no. 2 is due in a few weeks.
With regards to the money situation, a baby is definitely not as expensive as you would think.
I've said it here before, they can be as cheap or as dear as you make them really!
You can pay the best part of a €1000 for a shiny brand new pram/travel system with all the bell's & whistles, or you can pay €100 (or less!) for a second hand one in good condition - both will do the same thing!
Clothe's for baby are so cheap these day's thanks to the like's of Dunnes/Penneys.
After that if you breastfeed you have nil food costs for baby the first few months, or if you formula feed a tenner a week for a tin of food will cover it.
Nappies/wipes about the same, less than a tenner a week.
Hope you have a happy & healthy pregnancy and can enjoy it 0 -

Hey all im 19 weeks pregnant with my first child and im so scared. Its prob normal to be like this with your first baby. Im worrying about silly things like how am i gonna afford a baby it totally wasn't planned and tips or advice would be brilliant as im having a real hard time thanks x
Congrats I'm 20 weeks and I worry all the time about my little babs.. and we'd been planning and trying for ages! I worry about how we'll afford it aswell, but I'm trying to do less worrying and more enjoying of it at the moment... we're going to have little babies in July!! I worry how on earth I'm going to know what a little baby wants, how I'm going to give someone so small a bath
Check out adverts, donedeal or if your local area has any of those facebook buysellswap groups for baby stuff... The ones around here are full of baby stuff. Register with all the baby websites for coupons etc for nappies and stuff... it will all work out! Hope your feeling a bit better today x0 -

I'm having a baby girl!!! Wooohoooo!!! She's so perfect and lovely!!!
*Loves*
Aw wow congrats on finding out!! I'd so love to find out. I had a dream I was doing my shopping in tescoes last night & there was a guy at the till doing gender scans.
I was queueing for ages and bursting for a wee, then when I got to the top of the queue he fecked off for his break & I woke up before he returned so I never got to find out
Omg pippington, I'd love to have only 5 days left. swap? 0 -

Haha love the zany pregnancy dreams! I had one last week where I'd had the baby and me and the other half were at home with babs and getting visitors, but kept forgetting to change the nappy cos so many people were coming to visit. At one stage a visitor mentioned that the baby's nappy 'felt a bit heavy' and we realised we hadn't changed him in three days! And cos the nappy was ultra-absorbent it just kept absorbing everything and by the time we changed it, it had swollen to the size of a tractor tyre with this dinky wee baby sitting in the middle, and I kept bursting into tears because I could remember to feed the animals every day but I kept forgetting to change my own child's nappy on a regular basis.
I may be nervous about knowing so little about being a mum but at least I know I can't possibly be THAT bad :pac:0 -
