I had a hard fall yesterday but am fine and bub has been moving so I'm not concerned. Cant believe how unco I am [emoji23] I was talking with another mum at school pick up and we had walked to the bottom of a cement ramp leading out of the school while our combined 5 kids were running around playing chasies (in the school grounds near us, we could see them) Anyway we called for the kids and as I looked at ds2 he suddenly starting screaming and I knew straight away he was being bitten by something (I suspected the large green ants I've seen in the garden beds as that is near where he was) but also had the panicked thought 'what if its a spider'. So carrying my handbag, a bag with recipe books AND ds1's school bag I've sprinted up the ramp and turned into the open gate and went down like a sack of potatoes at full (pregnant) speed [emoji23] you know when you KNOW you're going but cant do anything about it [emoji23] Luckily my palms and knees bore the brunt before I fell forward onto my tummy/side and half face planted into the grass. Anyway I've jumped up and wobbled to ds2 who another lady was helping by that stage, ripped off his shirt looking for ants but he only had one left stuck to his neck thankfully. The other lady had already brushed some off him. Then came the 'omg are you ok??!! Are you hurt? Did you land on your stomach? Do you need to sit down' from a couple mums. It was an absolute debacle [emoji23][emoji23] My legs were abit wobbly but I think it was more from adrenaline worrying about ds2 than the fall lol. Amazing how mothers instinct overrides common sense!!! And at the moment I'm flat out walking at a moderate pace, how on earth was I able to run like that [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Oh PBN – glad you’re ok – admittedly had a chuckle reading through the process, because I could so picture it (and doing the exact same thing myself, my coordination is shocking at best of times lol).
Momma bear to protect her cub would run like Bolt if needed, I reckon ;) is DS2 ok? Gotta love living in Oz and all the wonderful fauna :P
Ash – you are so not overwight hon, hope you don’t lose too much weight either eh? Make sure you don’t starve yourself!!!
Kat – great for the glucose results but no fun having such low BP, makes one soooo tired!!! Anything to do to get it up a bit??
Mommaxo3 – just laughed out loud with your one-legged headless chook comment – ain’t that the truth?? Lol
Oki doki – DD1 got into school – I will have a Preppie starting January! She is so excited – and I am going to ball my eyes out lol
I finally have my midwife clinic appointments schedule – woohoo!
And I will start thinking about the GTT – blah – probably will aim for before Xmas festivities to be safe lol
How exciting your dd is starting prep Lmsm!!! It really is a bittersweet moment. I cant believe how much my first baby has grown this year in all ways! You will notice a big difference! I said to dh on his first day that they should have a room connected to the classroom with a two way glass so us parents can sit and watch them and be there if they need us [emoji23][emoji23] I know I nearly tripped over my bottom lip on the way back to the car that first day [emoji23]
So I'm in the middle of a nesting frenzy [emoji38] have just gone through all our medicine/first aid boxes and places (yes there were several) and have thrown out a whole bag of expired crap! I now have a basic first aid box, a container for commonly used panandol and hubbys sinus/antihistamines and a cold/flu/other meds all in the one cupboard. My paper plates, plastic cups, 10000 napkins, and 20000 plastic knives and forks and other misc are all in three containers instead of all jammed together in my top pantry shelf (where I couldn't see properly so would keep adding to things I already had [emoji23]). Now I've got gkassware all over the bench as I thought why not start wiping out all the cupboards and doors while I'm at it! All this began because I went looking for something that bugger me if I can remember now what it was [emoji23][emoji23] HELP!!!!! MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...34ef663695.jpg

Nest away – it’ll be that much less stuff to worry about once Bub arrives, plus it’s just soooo much easier to keep on top of things once they are well organised...
I need to do a massive cull and reorganise – I have my 1st clinic appointment mid morning on the 14th of December, hence not worth going back to work that day.. I am going to do some Kmart boxes and organisers shopping just for the purpose of being an OCD organiser as will have a few hours all to myself, for once lol
Oh yes I will cry so bad when M starts (I’ve told hubby that he will need to be there for moral support after we drop her off so he doesn’t just rush to work after) – I mean they look so little in their uniforms, and they are too in certain ways – and M is far from the smallest in the kids I’ve seen though she probably will be the absolute youngest at Prep lol
Can’t wait to see class compositions early December to see if her little friend is with her or not ^^
Edit: did you find said nail clippers?? lol

Hi ladies, sorry I haven't checked in for a while. Work has been busy! 2 and a half weeks left, bub will then be a week and half after that. Nothing is set up (thanks to my husband when I need him to help!) I'm actually feeling quite stressed, angry and disorganised. My bag isn't packed and the last 4-5 days I've had terrible consistent braxton hicks but I just don't have time to pack anything (our weekends are full all the way until the baby is born!!)
I'm still down on myself if I get a failed sway - and I may have a successful one but I just don't feel I'd be that lucky.
Uuuggh. Enough of my rant! How is everybody doing? Have I missed any big announcements or anything interesting?
Wow kat that’s low! And they weren’t concerned about it?
Aww pbn falling is the worst when it’s in front of a crowd hope your alright!
LMSM I just not been eating out as much I think that’s what the help is. And I’m totally 186 atm [emoji50].
Dancing how exciting I can’t wait to hear the outcome

Ash whats considered normal blood pressure? mine is almost always either 100/60 or 110/60 when im pregnant and its always been put down as normal? i dont think she will be a beast haha if she stays in till 37+ weeks i reckon she'll be in the 6lbs range :)Quote:

Ash - my kids got their flu shots 2 weeks ago and now I feel so bad that I made them get it lol. I'm glad things are calming down for you health wise since you're getting so close. You're also not overweight. And I'm nervous my baby is going to be huge too as my 2nd was 8lb 5 oz and she seemed so large and heavy when they handed her to me. I hear babies get heavier the more you have but this isn't true for everyone. I'm going to have a 10 pounder.
Pbn - Your sense of humor over your fall is great. I'm relieved that the baby is moving and ok though. Uncooridnation is a staple of pregnancy and I'm not too coordinated on a normal day lol. I jealous of your energy. Everyone mentions nesting and I've never experienced this unless my nesting comes in the form of the way a dog turns a few times in bed before laying down.
LMSM - You will cry when she goes off to the school the first day or so and it doesn't get easier as the next kid gets to that point. You get better at faking its ok lol. With my 2nd I cried after I started walking away from school!
My doctor mentioned Monday that they would consider an induction at 39 weeks. I said in the beginning of my pregnancy I didn't want an induction as I've already had 2 and would like to go naturally for once but I also don't want to go overdue again. I don't think I can have both. I'm even considering the induction because the sciatica is so bad lately. I even asked about the red raspberry leaf tea and my doctor said no. I've read so many health benefits for it and still no. I'm definitely disappointed.
Dancing we all can just hope and pray we get our desired genders.
I live at 90 to 80 systolic blood pressure and that is normal for me as well.
momma so r u getting induced ? I am at 39 weeks 5 days unless i go by myself before

PBN – sounds like you will have the house revamped in no time :D
If it can make you feel any better, I have been looking for a document for the last few days (to claim my scan on Medicare) and for the life of me cannot find it – it’s driving me mad! Lol My forgetfulness is enraging, can’t stand myself for it :P
Bluebooties – oh yes, my OCD makes me go berserk when I see the house – I need to cull, cull, cull – and reorganise, it’s weird but I love it :D
Dancing – sounds like hubby needs to pull his finger out and get going – I mean, that’s the least he can do, right?!
Is there ANY way you could decline some of these outings on the WEs that you have planned? To allow at least you some time at home to get things done?
I have a feeling you will be lucky, - all the last blue sways results have been successful ones, so don’t see why you wouldn’t be. We’ve had enough failed ones that I think stats should work in your favour ;)
Ash- it’s miss E taking up space from your stomach, you probably aren’t as hungry – I reckon she will be a small lady anyways, you tend to have smaller bubs, and born early so there is no reason to think you will have a whopper/beast baby ^^ (I, however, think I can expect a chubby “beast” haha)
4b2p – blood pressure when pregnant is a different range from non-pregnant normal range – sounds like yours is perfect ;)

mommaxo3 – haha each person nests differently (and like you, I turn in bed several times before settling in haha).
Oh yes, will cry so bad when she starts school – will do my best at being brave in front of her though! I will be taking that first day off work ,so that I can go get her at pick-up time, and will be counting the hours until that – you betcha I will be doing lots of cleaning/organising to keep me busy :P
- You will cry when she goes off to the school the first day or so and it doesn't get easier as the next kid gets to that point. You get better at faking its ok lol. With my 2nd I cried after I started walking away from school!
Is your Dr not willing to let you try to go into labour naturally? RRL, especially if you have a history of going past your DD may not be bad, actually – it will help get your body in optimum shape – and it seems eating 6 dates a day from about 32-33 weeks is great at getting labour going by itself ;) just sayin’ ^^
When your kids finished up at kindy – what presents did you give educators?
M has been at daycare for close to 4 years, so wanted to give a gift that can be shared between all of them – but also, a specific gift for the teachers she had this year :) any ideas?
I know they get heaps of mugs, edible stuff and whatnot – would love for it to be enviro-friendly, useful, thoughtful….
Ok, we are off for a couple of days – since we won’t be going away over the summer – we are taking a few days on the coast as of tomorrow, back Sunday – not sure I’ll have Wifi ^^
So take care of yourselves, and hope to have news of babies arriving ^^
mommaxo3 why have they said no red raspberry leaf? i wasnt sure about it so i wasnt going to take it this time (ive never taken it before) till i saw my midwife and she was like i 100% want you on it from 34 weeks, so im on the tablets, though its not to try and make baby come sooner its just to try and do everything i can to minimise blood loss due to the whole "had SO many babies" thing!!
LMSM thanks for the link :) i was just confused why they had said 110/60 was low to Ash
LMSM haha I’m thinking if I ever made it to term I’d have a whopper! But yes I told dh lastnigt she has grown up as far as she can I think so I’ll start growing out more now! I cant breathe like ever it’s crazy!
4blue2pink I consider mine “low” I guess because both of my parents are on bp medicine and so are a ton of other in my family so when they all pass around the blood pressure cuff (because we’re weird like that) at Sunday dinner [emoji23][emoji23] I always have the lowest.
[emoji170](07) [emoji170](09) [emoji170](14)[emoji170](15)[emoji166] EDD 1-15-18[emoji166]
passing round the blood pressure cuff thats hilarious Ash :D im in the same position that baby cant physically go any higher now its jammed up under my ribs which im sure isnt helping this reflux issue :-/
Bluebooties-I'm on the fence about it. I really wanted to go myself this time around but I know how miserable I'm going to be as I pass my due date. I still have a lot of time to make my decision.
LMSM - The doctor will let me go naturally if I want to I just don't want another vacuum birth end up being induced regardless after 41 weeks because my body doesn't go to go on its own. Plus the induction would make scheduling time off of work easier. My maternity leave doesn't kick in until a few weeks AFTER the baby is born so any time I take before the baby comes is either unpaid or vacation time and we don't get a lot, I have 6 of 8 days left to use. My kids usually made the teacher some type of ornament (especially since it's Christmas time here) or a pencil holder (with pencils in it).
4blue2pink - RRL tea seems to be more widely accepted amongst midwives than doctors. I assume because they can't charge you for it. No herbal tea but yes to Pitocin!
Honestly I think I'm going to get the tea anyway and still take it behind everyone's back. I'm just going to get the capsules since it'll be easier to hide lol. I was surprised she said no to it since it appears to be a 50/50 shot it'll help.
mommaxo3 i was nervous taking the tablets because ive never taken them before and im not a huge fan of any type of meds especially in pregnancy but i can honestly say they arent giving me any symptoms at all which my midwife said was right, she said if they caused cramping/contractions then id have to stop taking them. im on 2 tablets a day and its the Nature's Aid ones im taking, who knows if they will do anything at all for me but i guess they are worth a shot!!
its crazy isnt it, Dr's are all yes yes yes to all these strong medications but its no no no to herbal tea/tablets :-/ at the end of the day it is your decision and you do what is right for you :) im sorry you had to go through a vacuum birth :( the thought of assisted deliveries either vacuum or forceps terrify me, fingers crossed you get a really easy quick delivery this time
I took the RRL tea last time and nothing happened.
I guess it doesn't hurt to take alternative medicines but you need to understand that these have not been studied and researched so if side effects happen then they r on you. I guess no physician will willing say go for it they will say we do not recommend since we dont have much data on them but if you want to take then take at your own risk. At least thats what i say to my patient.
But i took it myself last pregnancy and felt nothing at all.

Hello ladies! I haven't been on here in about a week and have had a quick read.
I'm flat out as I only have 2 weeks left of work left and SO MUCH to do!!! Plus I have about 25 Christmas doll orders to complete.... on the sidelines I'm trying to get Xmas shopping done too. Enough about me...
After Xmas I can be an active member again.
Love and hugs to all that needs it ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Honestly, I’m super nervous about everything, but I know it will be fine. I’ve had four csections before, but I’m still a little apprehensive about the surgery. I’m really feeling the idea that I only have five days left of being pregnant EVER since I’m getting a tubal too. It’s the finality of no more babies, no more chances to have a boy, etc. it’s a lot of feelings.

i dont think it matters how many c-sections you've had you will always be nervous about it, same with any surgery. im not on my last baby but that whole knowing its the last one does bother me, i know i'll have to face it one day and i just dont know how i will feel knowing that its the last one/the last time, so i can appreciate that this one is bringing you all these extra feelings, i hope you have a great experience and easy recovery and that the whole last baby thing ends up being easier than expected for you once she is here :heart:
SRG – can’t wait for you to announce the birth of bubba- though I know it is daunting and you have a zillion things to do before, you will totally ace it! :D
I can understand that mix of feelings, and the finite feeling with pregnancy, babies and kids… :hugs: I can’t quite give up hope on a last child, though I know hubby isn’t 100% sold, so this may still be my last and I dread ever having to admit that it is it. I think I would honestly have way more kids if finances allowed but being so far from any support and a husband that is already feeling stretched with 2 soon to be 3, I think 5 or 6 may not work alas.
Some women say they do get that feeling of being “complete’ once that last bub is born – I hope you feel at peace and complete, too, once she is there :awe:
Bluebooties – I think RRL doesn’t have a visible effect per se – it does tend to make labour more effective, by toning the uterus, but if you have an effective uterus to start with, it probably won’t really show… iykwim?
Like 4b2p, due to fast labours, am considering it in order to help with the post-delivery contractions – but last time, it was back in place a few hours post labour, under fundus height – so low the middie struggled to find it lol so probably won’t go down that route, maybe after birth though, to help tone the lot? :D
My littlest girl has been unwell over the WE :( – intermittent fever and feeling off, waking up lots (I’ve been up for good since 4 am after multiple wakings) sigh lol I wonder if her last 4 teeth (molars) could finally be on their way – she had similar symptoms teething previously but won’t let us look in her mouth…so who knows! Lol
I do truly admire solo mums (all the more whilst preggers!) that do this alone day in day out – at least was able to call hubby to get the Panadol ready for her in the middle of the night while I held her…
Awe, I hope your DD feels better soon! I agree- I can’t imagine parenting solo!Quote:
