Well bobskii how are u doing now??
I'm in hospital today for my 39 week check up as next week they are loosing two days clinics so have a Saturday one on to help with the load.

I actually can't wait,I'm feeling much better no more vomiting etc but worried that bub isn't moving like her usual self, probably because she is thinking what the heck is going on mam but I'll be so glad to hear heart beat and get reassurance from midwives.

bobskii · 20-12-2014 10:35am

nor a bother on me now!!it was obviously the bod tell on me to cop on and sit down!!
I was the same last nite with the movement,I went as far as drinking a can of coke(which I hate the taste of) that got babs moving so I was happy after that . It's very reassuring to hear the heartbeat though puts your mind at ease . do they scan you much in the mlu?

Lashes28 · 20-12-2014 10:45am

No they don't really. I had one at my booking and one at 34 weeks purely for placenta location. I seen baby then at private gender and a few weeks ago at the kidney one. So in general I have been very lucky,I could have just gotten one!!
I couldn't stomach coke last night so I'll try it later on, will mention it anyways just to be sure
I really cannot believe that it's happening so quickly tho!
Is anyone else feel like the arrival of baby is taking away from the Christmas spirit a bit? Think I need to wrap a few presents with Xmas CD on with a hot chocolate and marshmallows later on!!

bobskii · 20-12-2014 11:05am

every visit i have I have a scan,my friend said it's general practise down there!I've noticed I don't care about Christmas this year cos I'm concentrating on baby more . but I've no santa anyway so Christmas is really a chore to me!!mind you I enjoyed strolling round the markets yesterday lookin at all the lovely knitted stuff and again thinking it would be so handy to know the gender :P today I'm gonna do in as little as possible . I have all the kids present wrapped and cards wrote so if baby comes now that's all done!

HazelBee · 20-12-2014 2:06pm

I had a very uncomfortable nights sleep with my back aching and baby moving loads. We went Christmas shopping this morning and I kept getting sharp pains down below every couple of minutes. It's not as bad now I'm sitting down...more a stingy pressure pain. Is this what Braxton hicks are like or just the baby's head putting pressure on me?

I've a load of cleaning to do but I think I'm just going to have a lie down first!

bobskii · 20-12-2014 2:20pm

I think that's the baby getting into position,well that's what I read in my book!so much for me so in nothing . I'm after cleaning like maniac . windows bathrooms even the washing machine got a scrubbing!!I'll b a wreck now for the evening!

Lashes28 · 20-12-2014 2:51pm

Crib and Moses assembled with stands and dressed with sheets and blankets, I must have ideas that I'm going to have this bub soon lol!!

bobskii · 20-12-2014 3:36pm

you hope ya mean!!

Lashes28 · 20-12-2014 5:00pm

Yep I hope and wish!! Just back from hospital checked heartbeat and not at all concerned about lack of movement, to be expected less room and if I am still worried tomoz to call and they will put trace on.
Baby got her eviction notice of January 12tg, they will be moving me to normal ward on 11th to begin induction if sweep doesn't work in two weeks time!! It's all begining feel real

bobskii · 20-12-2014 5:13pm

oh Christ I'm gonna be the same Monday when I'm down!!I tend to get a bit overwhelmed when they start talking about evictions lol!do ya mind me asking if they did an internal on this checkup?

Lashes28 · 20-12-2014 5:18pm

Sweet Jesus no!! She would have got an awful shock at my patch work job downstairs if she had of lol!! Just a blood test as iron was .1 down after last one at 34 weeks. She asked about iron tablets and had to tell a little white lie I bloody forget them most days...eeekkk!! She's gonna text me results later
I always feel stupid for getting panicky I've known for so long that a baby is coming but when someone else starts talking about it, it freaks me out!!

bobskii · 20-12-2014 5:26pm

lmao honestly you'll put me in labour with statements like that!!
that reminds me must take my iron,it's a pain try in to remember it cos I can't take it with the rest of my tablets cos it won't absorb!
I know I'm the same I tend to get panicky when they start talking about coming in,or when I throw my bag in the boot if I'm going anywhere!silly really but it just makes you realise this baby us coming out sooner rather than later!you'd think we hadn't the last 38 weeks to realise that

mirrorwall14 · 21-12-2014 1:21pm

This week sucks! Between UTI, regular appt and a fall I've been in the coombe three times?! Now my feet have decided that it's time to swell... A lot! They are so ugly and nothing has worked so far, I already drink a ton of water, had a epsom salt bath last night. I even elevated them for ages last night which is no mean achievement because lying on my back hurts like a MF in my hips.

Argh!!! A possible 6 weeks of this? Why wasn't I due in early January

HazelBee · 21-12-2014 1:25pm

I'm feeling about the same today. Haven't slept all night and having awful stabbing stretching pains in pelvis and at the top of my bump. Feeling a bit sorry for myself!

bobskii · 21-12-2014 1:46pm

last few weeks are the toughest without a doubt girls.

Lashes28 · 21-12-2014 3:13pm

Since my bug I feel great, wish I had more pains at least it might be a sign of something stirring!!
Wrapped the last of my presents and have a Sunday dinner on.

Hope ye all have a chance to put your feet up and get some well deserved rest xx

bobskii · 21-12-2014 3:17pm

my back is in bits apart from that alls good . I'm craving roast dinner today,just informed the oh he's cooking it .I'm on the couch all morning haven't stirred,it's still a novelty to have Sundays off!!

mirrorwall14 · 21-12-2014 3:50pm

I would love my OHs face if i told him to cook a roast dinner rofl! Luckily we got fed in his parents today so no cooking needed.

Sorry about the rant this morning, I was fair cranky

bobskii · 21-12-2014 3:54pm

cranky is allowed!!I'm permanently cranky here but it's cos I'm uncomfortable!
I thought him how to cook a roast dinner years ago so I could have a break from cooking on Sundays!!he doesn't do it every Sunday but today it has been demanded lol!

Lashes28 · 21-12-2014 10:15pm

Feeling very ill again, could be the box of heroes I just ate!! Bluergh.

I'm cranky 99% of the time!! Just bored of being pregnant now!!

bobskii · 21-12-2014 10:22pm

same here . fed up of not being able to put on my own socks without a struggle!!I just seen a photo of me pregnant I'm flipping huge

Lashes28 · 21-12-2014 10:31pm

I was examining myself in the mirror today. I am ginormous!
can't wait to have a coat that actually zips up on me again.
Can't wait to meet baby.
Can't wait to be able pick something off the ground without sounding like a 90year old.
Can't wait until I can walk more than 10 minutes without Getting tired!
Can't wait to sit,stand ,lie comfortably
Just fed up and January seems like ages away!

bobskii · 21-12-2014 10:35pm

and to turn in bed at night without it being a mammoth task!!Roll on January!!

Lashes28 · 21-12-2014 10:47pm

Ah the three point turn to get for one shoulder to the other. Can't wait to sleep on my tummy!

bobskii · 21-12-2014 10:51pm

lol only to realise you were more comfortable on the other side anyway!!

Daisy Dalzer · 21-12-2014 10:52pm

Hello- haven't been on in awhile. finally full term at 38.5 weeks!
All going well babywise- although I'm feeling so massive now and everything seems an effort... the only time I feel motivated to do anything is in the middle of the night when I can't sleep.. and then not actually motivated to get out of bed unless its to go to the toilet..

I went over on my ankle (didn't fall thank god) and cracked my ankle bone on my way to one of the antenatal classes 5 weeks ago so i've been on crutches since.. Its still not healed but it has improved a lot thank god!! (They couldn't put me in a cast due to pregnancy/natural swelling so I had a big boot first and now a strapping).. I'm now able to limp around without a crutch inside the house where I am stuck almost all of the time but need crutches outdoors.. Have been pretty miserable to be honest (lots of tears in the first few weeks) but its improved to the point where I think I could care for a baby on my own indoors if it came now.. something I couldn't have done a few weeks ago... as I needed to use both crutches..
Haven't been able to prepare frozen meals or anything as I had planned or shop- except for online- but it was a good way to forceably wind down work wise before my finish date on Friday... Ive only been able to work from home.. and even that was difficult while keeping my foot elevated!!

Cant wait for baby to arrive.. Due date 31 December .. although if it started tonight I'd probably spend christmas day in Holles st..

bobskii · 21-12-2014 11:00pm

Christ! ! you poor thing bad enough being heavily pregnant without all that to contend with!

Lashes28 · 21-12-2014 11:02pm

Snap on your due date Daisy!! Fingers (and legs) crossed none of us end up in for Xmas day!!

What a nasty thing to happen to you during pregnancy, I'm clumsy and awkward as it is,I'd say having crutches is doubly hard. Have they told you a plan for giving birth? Will you be able to manage

Daisy Dalzer · 22-12-2014 12:03am

Thanks for the sympathy!! Have gotten my head around it and have developed a good relationship with the delivery man from all the online shopping I've been doing!

Now that I can put some weight on it I am able to sit on my exercise ball (which is such a relief!) and also limp around.. So I'm still hoping to have a reasonably active labour.. A couple of weeks ago it seemed lying down was the only option.. And the midwife in Holles St was advising me that I should prepare for an epidural as it would be difficult to go without when I would have been so restricted (all the yoga moves I'd learned would have been impossible etc) .. Wish it would hurry up and heal though.. I am longing to go for a walk outside in the fresh air..

Feeling sore or stiff 'down there' and I'm assuming that this is the 'pressure' that people talk about.. uncomfortable in general though.. Eating all around me!!

mirrorwall14 · 22-12-2014 7:26am

Sounds like a rough time of it, mind yourself and hopefully it all goes well now!

Just woke up as usual to go to the bathroom. Cue uncontrollable cold and shivering. Bloody odd symptom, I rattled the crap out of myself and baby before 'warming up'. Even though I don't think I was actually very cold at all!

Do you have a thermometer? If so check your temp as it sounds like you may have had a high temp. Shivering could have been rigors (shivering but because the body is too hot even though they feel cold, stops and you warm up as temp comes down) Just keep an eye on it I guess.

mirrorwall14 · 22-12-2014 3:49pm

Temp is ok thanks! I think it was night sweats and the cold of the bathroom that did it tbh because I woke up twice after that drenched!

bobskii · 22-12-2014 8:59pm

so seems they will let me go over after all!!all fine at check up back in two weeks if they don't see Me before then!

lashofeye · 22-12-2014 10:48pm

mirrorwall14 · 24-12-2014 7:12pm

Nope still gestating nicely here

Happy Christmas everyone!

Lashes28 · 24-12-2014 9:46pm

Nah no stirring here either! Just super busy lately.
Does anyone know if your gp can give you a sweep? I'm in Monday for 40 week check up wouldn't mind to try to get going!

bobskii · 24-12-2014 9:49pm

dunno lashes don't think I've heard of gp doing it . They won't give me a sweep will just bring me in to break my waters and if that doesn't work its section for me . I'm doing my utmost ta get this one dislodged in the next week!

fall · 24-12-2014 11:12pm

My iPad was broken so I haven't been on. Had contractions for three hours yesterday then stopped. Loads of mad pain and increase in discharge so who knows! Hope everyone is already relaxing and enjoying the celebrations.
On the sweep thing if your cervix is not favourable you are much more likely to have a difficult labour or even end in an emergency section. Google bishop score. I know it's hard to wait but if you can.

bobskii · 24-12-2014 11:29pm

she said . She will check me to see how I am Monday week hut I really hope I go in or around my due date!

HazelBee · 26-12-2014 10:07am

How's everyone doing? Hope you all had a good Christmas. I had to spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in hospital as I seemed to have injured a muscle in my back. It was really excruciating at the time but thankfully has calmed down enough to let me sleep now and I got out in time for some Christmas dinner. Taking it very easy for the next while to let it heal. I don't think it will help when the labour pains arrive.

I had a full check up before being admitted and I'm 1cm dilated already. (37 weeks) I know it could still be weeks but it's good to know things have progressed a little by themselves.

er1983 · 26-12-2014 11:01am

Hey everyone. I'm in the due dec thread, my EDD is dec 29th, somehow have a feeling I'll be joining this thread lol
