3men, how are you?? just woundering if that horrible icp has stayed away? i hope i dont get it with my next preg
Thanks for checking in on me pinkin. So far so good. No itching at all. How are you doing?
Thank you girls will get some today xx
No news I'm afraid :( feeling mega low at the moment just want her here and safe now! Tiff I feel for u heartburn is horrible, I haven't had it much this time but with ds1 I was drinking gaviscon by the bottle...yukky stuff! X
I keep stalking this thread watching for births. It is so exciting thinking that I am in the next due date group. I'm praying for you all to have safe easy deliveries.
HBP try to keep your spirits up she will be here soon and it will definetly be worth the wait knowing that she came on her terms when she was ready. I cannot even imagine the anticipation you must be going though waiting to finally hold your DD.
The stats say at the beginning of this thread that I am due May 29th... but I'm due May 28th (ha, I know... a whole day earlier than the 29th! :P)
Do you want me to edit it for you?Quote:

While you're there Cinss can you change my date to the 11th as that is my cs date oh and add the blessed with bit if you get a chance, no biggy though ;)
HBP I can imagine how you're feeling hun, I hope Willow makes an appearance very soon for you x

Just looking at the tickers and we're all edging closer towards the end!!! Oh how I cant wait to see all our beautiful healthy babies! xx
Just saw my midwife and little man has turned head down woooohoooo so happy I can have my home birth now :)
Such a good boy!
I know bimby were all getting so close I can't wait, so exciting xxx
That's great tiff, Im so happy for u :) what are your plans for your homebirth? Would u like a water birth? Can't remember if I asked b4? Xx
Thank you hbp, no not going for a full on water birth, I tried it with ds1 and didn't like it but i was in very early stages then! so might see how I feel we have quite a big bath tub so I could try in that, Other than that I don't really have any plans. Need to get all the bits I need now so exciting.
How are you feeling hbp? Xx
A waterbirth is defo not for everybody, I kinda liked being in my 'own world' in there plus not every1 could see my vajayjay Lmao :) homebirths are brilliant though so I'm really pleased your getting to have one, is this your 1st hb?
I'm ok hun, just over thinking every twinge....with my boys there was no doubt when I went in to labour but this lady is giving me a run for my money haha! My house is spotless (again) the pools been refilled, her clothes have been folded that many times........ I'm on 6 raspberry leaf tabs a day (for stronger contractions) I've eaten a whole pineapple had a bath in clary sage and been for a long walk lol not much else I can do!
can't beleive we are all coming to the end of our pregnancies, can't wait to see all the gorgeous babys xx
Yeah will be my first home birth, hoping it'll all happen in the middle of the night so don't have to pack the boys off anywhere. They sleep through anything! Lol
Are you having your boys at home when you go into labor? Wow sounds like your really trying everything to get her out. Have you tried acupunture? Xx
Good news Tiffani!
Really hope your little lady makes an appearance soon HBP, I know the last bit always seems like forever! We spend so long hoping they don't come early and then we pray like crazy they aren't late!
I tried using pressure points that I read about online after a friend told me about them with ds2, not sure if it was a coincidence but he was 10 days early. xx
Come on out baby Willow! We want a new baby to ooooh and ahhhh over :)
Ya know, I don't even think I am on that birth stats chart at all. If you get a sec Ciniss, can you add me. I am due May 24th (swayed and having girl).
In totally unrelated news...I just bought a new bra yesterday, since I only had one that fit. It is TWO cup sizes and one band size bigger than my starting point...and is squeezing the crap out of my rib cage. Sigh. I should just start duct taping them up, it might be more comfortable. Carry on then....
Well ds1 went to bed at 7.30 the night I had ds2 and by 9.44pm ds2 was born lol he slept untill 6am through all the noise (we lived in bungalow at time) it was the 1st time he slept through the night, it was great when he came running though to r room and found us holding his new brother :) I'm hoping the same happens this time, but I've packed them an over night bag incase they have to sleep at Nannys, ds1 wants to be at the birth though hmmm I'm not so sure about that LOL!
I've not tried acupuncture but have had reflexology in fact I have another booked for tomorrow she's going to use induction techs this time tho as I'm 38wks now, in hindsight I don't know why I'm bothering, I mean babies only come when their ready....but hey it gives us something to do right :)
Hotdogs I feel your pain I totally hate bras I have one comfy one and two like crop top things that are so comfy but most unattractive must invest in some new ones and some nursing bras but there all so ugly
Oh hbp that must have been so special when you had ds2 hope it works out the same for you this time. Personally I wouldn't want my boys to be at the birth wouldn't want them to see me in pain!
I had acupunture the day I had ds3 it did the trick! :) I would have thought acupressure/reflexology works the same. We're you late with your boys hbp?
Xx

I hope my mom manages to fly out for the birth, but that is SO hard to time... and she is still crazily trying to save money to even be able to come at all. So not sure on if she will or won't be so I'm leaning on she won't be, due to timing at least.
So, I don't have ANY option. He has to stay here... and I do hope I have her at night so he's in bed... :/
I also take Zantac 150 twice a day and it is a life saver. I get acid reflux and wake up almost choking if I don't take it.
Hbp, so hoping your baby girl arrives soon......like tonight!!!
Suregena I think so long as you have dh with you your little man will be fine if its during the day, him being there may actually help u get through tlabour iykwim? I hope your mum can get over for you tho! If I go into Labour during the day ds1 will possibly be at sch unless she comes this wk as its sch hols, but I have 2 friends who will have one of my boys each so they will go to them for a play date, then dh mum can come get them if need be, I'm alot closer to her then my own mum!
Tiff I was 5&6days late with the boys really don't want that happening this time but it probably will xx
I second the invitation for baby Willow HBP's baby, to come! Hopefully something will spark in tomorrow!!!Quote:

They are SO much more comfy than bras with straps. I highly recommend you go try em! I'm a DD so I would say that I am comfortable being that big in that bra. And after your milk comes in, you will get bigger. They are easy to pull your boob in and out of to nurse too.
Butterfly how are things going with your princess? Has it sunk in yet that u have your daughter? X
I just posted an update on her birth announcement. I'm still very much in love with her. The lil stink won't let me put her down! The bond is just amazing, and she is just as close to me as my boys. It's such an amazing thing, and I was never expecting that. I thought she would bond to her daddy much more than me. But it's like she knows how much I've been waiting for her, longed for her, dreamed about her.. she knows she is loved. She is so much fun! Her brothers are always keeping an eye on her making sure she is okay. They talk about how she was in my tummy.. it's just the coolest thing that they are that aware.Quote:

I'm so happy for u hun, and hearing everything u just said has made me want her even more :') ds1 us getting impatient now he doesn't understand why she won't come out bless him! Will now read your update xx
All this baby talk is making me so clucky to meet my LO - I can imagine it must be 10 fold at your stage HBP so C'mon baby Willow, we are all waiting to see you :)
Popping in and waiting to see if Willow has decided to join you HBP. You must be really wishing and praying she will arrive soon.
Butterfly you little princess is so precious. :)
Oh gosh, this just makes me tear up. Damn hormones ;) But I am so happy for you! And I admit I can't wait for mine to get here. It is still so unreal that I just want to see her to make it real. Although I am not ready. Nope, not at all. Lol.Quote:

Well I had another session of reflexology last night, this time tho she used acupressure points to try and help me go into Labour nothing so far but a few BH! I know she will come when she's ready though!
How is every1 else feeling? Whos next after me? X
Fingers crossed the pressure points trigger something for you. Acupuncture seemed to work for me both times but like you say they come when they are ready and my boys were probably on their way anyway but I guess you never know :)
By looking at the list Baby2ontheway is up next but the next name that Ive seen posts from on the list is Tiffany1234 & Luckylass - both due 17th March - So close ladies :)
So tell me, Am I in the 3rd Tri now or at 28 weeks????
I Had some kind man ask how long I had left & when I said around 11 weeks (I use the C/S date as it makes it sound better lol) his wife rolled her eyes at my belly lol I need to get over these eye rolls and comments but it's so hard when its EVERY DAY!! The last comment I had was one of the mums at school asked me when I was due and when I said May she goes "wow, I have a friend having twins in May and she's not even as big as you" I know people dont mean it in a hurtful way but it is really upsetting me now... My DH says when people ask when Im due to say "I dont know" lol Not sure that'll work with the mums at school. Im just feeling a bit emotional about it, I feel like Im being judged by my size, I seriously cant help the way I carry my babies and it's in my genes to have big babies but if they saw my boys now you wouldnt know they were big at birth so its not like Im purposely over feeding my babies to make them massively obese children... Sorry Im just rambling now..
HBP I'm sending positive labor vibes across the sea to you :) Hang in there, you are so close even though I know it must feel like an eternity xx
Bimby I had that for weeks it got me really down tbh, all the comments about how big I was was so upsetting and seemed to come from everyone everywhere I went! I started to get really cross about it and would really snap back at people. If its not telling me how disappointed I should be I'm not having a girl it's wow your so big this time! I wish people would just keep there comments to them selfs there so unhelpful. One of the ladies at work the other day said to me wow you've got that long left you can't get any bigger can you! I didn't even reply to her it was priceless!!
You should reply with well at least I'm pg what's your excuse. Or have you had your eyes checked recently think you may need to I'm pg not fat!!
Personally I would never insult a pg lady about how big she is!!! we are what we are and we are growing these amazing little people and that's something to be so proud of not insulted
Sorry rant over lol xx
Bimby try not to let their rude and ignorant comments bother you. I get massive on all my pregnancies from about 20 weeks. There is very little until then and when I hit about 20 weeks I get very big and look about 8-9 months for the rest of the term. People comment on it but I just try to ignore them. For some reason others feel like they have free reign to comment on pregnant woman all the time. On ds1 I was more concious of it and we were in Florida on holls when I was about 5 months. Came home and when BIL collected myself and dh at airport he said "wow you would really know your pregnant, you are huge". Now I had grown and was a size equivical to a US 0-2 before that so it was noticeable but I was so offended. Couldn't give a toss what he thinks anymore, although MIL likes to remind me when I am eating too much. :(
HBP I am going to be a bit like an online stalker checking in here to see if you are gone yet. So excited for you and hoping it happens really soon. :)
A friend on mine is being induced today and I am waiting patiently to find out if she is having a boy or girl. So excited for her, baby fever here.
The thing is most people that comment to me are other mothers, you'd think they would be a little more respectful after being through it themselves, maybe they were the "perfect" pregnancy model lol.
HBP Im stalking too hun, no pressure from us though, I just love the anticipation every time I log on ;) x
I've had people say the opposite. I'm pretty tall so I tend to look small when I'm pregnant. And people have said horrible things to me in the past that had me calling my doc and demanding an u/s...lol. So many people would tell me that I must be having a very small baby. I was beside myself....especially with my second pregnancy. But I've had baby's between 8 and 9 lbs so I just ignore them now. But it did hurt my feelings and worry me for a long time. Some people don't have a filter. I'm sure you all look absolutely beautiful.
God a lot of people really do suffer from "foot in mouth" syndrome don't they. Talk about being rude and making mums to be worry. 3 men it is awful people make you worry like that for no reason but I know the feeling.
Agree with you also Bimby it is often mothers who should know better who say these things to you.
Back from another growth scan,fluid level is fine,good news, but babbie is measuring 6lb 3oz ish at 33 weeks,meaning she has gained 2lb in 2 weeks,and with 6 weeks until my c section and at this rate she will be about 12lb born!how accurate are growth scans and would this worry you??
