Geez your tiny :) and quite the high bump
Aw lovely bump WAG, is that at 34 weeks?
I think this little lady has some catching up to do to her brothers just before they were born. First pic is DS1 at 38 weeks (2 days before he was born) and second pic is DS2 at 40 weeks (about 40mins before he was born).

No midwife said i was measuring about right, i'm back again on the 13th of aug so ill be asking her then if she looks an ok size. What weight were your other boys?
Aw thorz you have a little bump too :) How are you feeling now? x
Geez thorz your boobs are still bigger than your bump lol
My first was born at 37 weeks and 6. 14 ds2 was 41 weeks and 8. 9 and ds3 was 39 weeks and 8. 10 so I am expecting this one tone like 9 :s I want a little baby... Ds3 grew way too fast! He went from 8 10 to 24 pounds by 5 months
LOL Im tired of bed rest so I am getting out of bed today, going to the store and doing some laundry, I hope I don't regret it tomorrow!!
Ii know your obviously in more pain then me but if any of your kids are small enough and still sit in a stroller I find the leverage to be very helpful... I've started to up. Y walking now that I'm near the finish... It's time to prepare for labour ... I'm still quite scared thinking of labour... I hope I can find a focal point and hopfully stay calm... With ds2 I literally looked like a maniac I swear... It was 3 am and I was screaming at th top of my lungs.. Not my proudest moment but that labour hit like a ton of bricks
Thanks ladies for being so kind. I figured you all would understand there's nothing glamorous about a hospital gown lol.
DLTAG and Thorz- you both are soooo tiny! Where on earth are you hiding those babies??
Wag- you have the perfect baby bump, and that's all you are is bump. You look great!
That is wonderful news about Northern. I'm so happy for her!
Unfortunately, I cant really walk at all not even with a stroller to help support me (I have to ride one of those motorized carts at the store lol its embarrassing). Since my hip wont stay in socket, I'm constantly falling and with every step I am able to take, I have an extremely painful pop in my hip that everyone in the room can hear! I have to wake DH up to help me roll over to get comfy at night or to help me to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night! Poor guy doesn't get to sleep through the night cuz I pee at least 3 times during the night lol. This is your 4th baby, labour is nothing new to you, what is it that scares you??Quote:

My Braxton hick are very painful where it feels like I'm in labour daily so I try to use those to help me find a relaxation method cause I really want to avoid the epi this time
Loving the baby bumps ladies, some of you really hide you little bindles well in them small bellys. I feel huge now!! Il pop up a recent pic of me now x
Well ladies, I must be having a weak moment as I'll show you my bump!! I'm huge-again. But all my babies are up around the 9-10lb mark. I always get comments from my doc about how much fluid I have, plus my placentas are always said to be huge and thick! So I'm trying to remember all that is in there too!! Haha but this bub is on the 97th percentile for growth so doc is keen to get her out still at 38 wks! I'm doing everything I can to help that process along
This pic was taken at 32wks last wk. I haven't done a 33wk pic and now probably closer to 34wks so will wait until Monday and do another one
Southern you look fantastic!! Super proud of you keeping same in the hospital and super proud of both you and bubs for staying put (as much as it must suck at times)
DLTAG yes you are small compared to your boys! But gorgeous neat little bump though!
Wag you're looking great!! Similar to me maybe a but smaller though! I want to start walking too but struggling to find the time - plus it's winter here so not many good days with nice weather at the moment to get outside.
Thorz-omg I had to laugh at you having to hold your hand under your bump to show you do infact have a bump there!! That's the cutest lil bump I've seen for 31wks!! I would stop worrying about all his weight you think you're putting on whilst on bed rest!! Not sure where it all is, but you're looking fantastic!!

Hahahahaha ok ok ok, so if you look at my pic then flick back to the pic before me it's Thorz. There is a wk's difference between these 2 pics! Too funny, ok, I think I'll take my pic down now - feeling rather frumpy!
Lol don't take yours down you don't look frumpy! I love your perfectly round belly! I just had to put my hand under because it was a flowy dress and not a tight one so the bump was more hidden.
Haha it's amazing how different bodies carry babies so differently! Hehe x
Salsa I'm with Thorz that is the sort of bump I envy I always carry my babies close in with ds1 I could wear normal tops up to two weeks before delivery he was 8 lbs still, this one is a lill more bumpy thou
Love seeing everyone bump pics. Its amazing how every bump is so different yet so special :D
I forgot about another lovely pregnancy symptom . . . Leg cramps, i woke up last night with the worst one ever and today it feels like i've pulled a muscle in it as i cant bare to put any weight on it, ouch!
On a brighter note its mine and DH's wedding anniversary today so we are spending the day together tomorrow, child free and its prob the last one we will have before Evelyn is born so really looking forward to spending some quality time with the hubby.
Ah daltag that'll be lovely!
Is anyone doing presents from siblings to new bubba? We did with ds1 & ds2 and seemed to soften pill ds1 was only 16 months! Boys now 3&2 ds1 wants to get the baby a pressie so dh taking them to choose something at weekend but should I get the boys a pressie from the bubba? They really don't need any toys ;-s

Here is my 30 week bump pic. I'm pretty huge. He's measuring on the big side as well but all of my babies have been small/average so I doubt he'll stay that way (and am hoping not, given that he'll be my VBAC).
Salsa our bumps re very similar lol we are both very low... There we go we busted the how you Carry old wives tale :D
Love seeing all the bumps :)
I was waking up all night with really bad cramps feels like gas or period like cramps I guess... I kept goin back to sleep but when. Went to he bathroom this morning soooo much mucous plug.., ewwwwww I know sorry for sharing... I've only felt the baby do a couple small movements so I'm trying to wake him up with a smoothie...
WAG hope you are feeling better!!!
I just got back from my doc appt and apparently I haven't gained any weight in over a month and I am measuring at 29 weeks!!! Dr isn't to happy but baby's heart rate is good and she moves loads and loads so dr is making me eat extra and if my measurements aren't back to within a week of gestation then we have to do an ultrasound!!! I hope all is ok! Now I am a bit worried! I stopped at the store and bought hummus and veggies and came home and ate the whole thing, not to mention a bunch of cookies! I don't care if I gain a TON of weight, as long as she is ok!
Thorz I am popping in from due in February but I measured small with all my boys but noteably I was measuring 32 weeks and term with DS1. I had a growth scan with him and ds2 and the scan found that baby was fine for dates but just a smaller child. Actually ds1 was 6 lbs 11 at ten days overdue. Ds2 was actually bigger, 7 lbs 15 at a few days overdue. I think some people just carry very neat. I am quite petite naturally.
I was measuring small with ds2 by I beleive 4 weeks it was due to lack of fluid and he was 8. 9 .. When is your next appt?
I'm feeling better... Contracting a lot today but nothng out of the ordinary... He's not aloud to come for at least 18 more days now lol
Thanks ladies, either way, I came home and pigged out out hummus and veggies and then had a ton of black licorice! I'm stuffed now I won't have room for dinner lol. I'm going to start eating protein bars every day because I know I'm not getting nearly enough protein!
I'd like to post my bump pic but I don't know how to attach it from iPhone or iPad. I am on hols and have no other computer with me. Is this possible?
Thorz does Similac have the mom drinks where you are? I was having me of those a day when I was having a rough time with morning sickness
Fish yes we do presents for the baby and also from the baby! The kids get super excited about bringing in a present each for the baby-and even more excited receiving a present!! I'm just sitting getting the 2hr glucose tol test... Even though I passed the 1 hr one. The doc wants to make sure nothing was missed as this bub is measuring so big.... It's a pain but worth it to know for sure.
Oh no salsa do you have to drink the lucazade? Gross
Thorz get eating hun you've done we'll I'd be massive if I was on bed rest!
Found some cute big brother tees on eBay one with tractor and one with pirate perfect boys off to choose a present for the baby with daddy this pm ;-)
DLTAG- Happy Anniversary!!! Hope you had a wonderful day to celebrate :)
WAG- I'm glad you're feeling better. Take it easy as much as you can.
Thorz- I'm sorry for the worry but as others have said I'm sure baby is fine even with you not gaining weight. I lost 10lbs during my 3 weeks in the hospital and they had a nutritionist come talk to me but I simply can't eat more than a few bites at a time. Ultrasounds show baby is still huge so it's obviously not affecting him!
Salsa- You look great! How tall are you? I'm only 4'11 and so I think that's part of why my bump gets so large because my torso is so short that baby has nowhere to go but outward. This one is also measuring huge in the 95th percentile.
Mum- You have a cute bump too and you carry it very well!
We also let the kids pick up a small gift for the baby and the baby always has a gift for the older kids which the baby "gives" to them when they come to visit at the hospital.
Well I have great news ladies... I AM HOME!!!!!!!! Since I'm 34 weeks tomorrow and we live less than 2 miles up the road from the hospital, my dr decided to let me come home! I'm still on very strict bedrest (only supposed to be getting out of bed for bathroom and showers) and still taking the same meds for contractions. It feels amazing to be home. DH and the kids have been wonderfully helpful. I'm so thankful to have some time home before baby arrives :D
Oh southern that's perfect news! So pleased your home fx he stays put for a couple more weeks! Do you have someone to help with the boys?
Southern so happy for you! Staying in the hospital even for one day feels like an eternity
Took a while ladies but finally managed to get onto laptop to upload my recent bump pics, this one is me at 31 weeks exact Attachment 12605 And here i am again at 32 weeks, im holding a little weight at the bottom of my belly on this one, but shes laying transverse so laying up really high.Attachment 12606
This babys measuring on the 90th percentile, see my midwife monday and hoping I start steering towards the 50th percentile :s x
Finally able to relax and take advantage of the lovely weather we've had in the UK. Thursday was my last day at work, all my colleagues are lovely and held me a surprise baby shower where I was presented with this ...... :suprise:Attachment 12607
How many of you ladies are still working? And when do you plan to leave work. I decided as I had 3 weeks holiday to take Id make the most of it and finish a little earlier, hope I dont regret it and go over 40weeks!! Im hoping I have my girl a good week before Im due :)!
Southern: Glad your back home and make sure you follow bed rest orders, I dont think it will be too long until we see a picture of your little bundle x
I know I have asked you a million time southern but I can't remember how early we're your other three boys?
Southern you have to be so pleased. Especially being with your boys again. Enjoy it and look after yourself. In 3 wks time you are full term.
Lady- Seems several of us have huge babies! Congrats on your last day of work and what a lovely gift from your coworkers!
Thanks so much ladies, I know I've already said it but it really does just feel amazing to be home with DH and the kids. WAG, no worries I don't expect you to remember everyone's backgrounds and previous pregnancies lol. My others were born at 31w, 35w, and 33w.
Fish I'm calling you out... I think you're the only one left who hasn't posted a bump pic! :P
