Oh Indira I had a 3-4 year old who started being a terrible two for nearly 2 years until he started school. Dannikins you definitely look like you've dropped I think your going to have the baby early and I have a feeling it's going to be a girl.
I feel like I'm going to have mine early also all her weight on my belly is hanging low and I can't walk around anymore. I was at Safeway yesterday and I walked out to sit on the bench for 5 minutes and drink water then I went back to continue shopping and everyone keeps on telling me how tiny I am but I feel like my belly is so huge and Im always out of breath. Ugh I don't know how im going to last.
How is everyone else going?

[dannikins]

i know exactly how you feel, i cant stand for more than a few minutes at a time, the weight just drags me down, and getting comfortable to sleep is just not happening at all, always something hurting, pelvis, hips back etc, its always something.

im worried im going to end up dissapointed, the last few weeks im thinking this is a girl.
im trying to prepare myself for another boy, but i cant get the thought of it being a girl out of my head, hopefully its intuition, and not desire playing with my head.

Dannikins- I really really hope it is your intuition and this is your girl My intuition (boy) has always been right so hopefully it is for you too, FX

[Indira]

Dannikins-then you might be very near to birth, exciting!
Intuition has been correct for Auroara recently so I have good hopes for you.
And although changes are 50/50 ofcourse, when you´ve had 4 boys already I would reaaaaallly think it is your turn now!
Having 5 of the same gender, waht are the changes of that?
If it´s a boy, I think some disappointment is inevitable, but you´ll have a lot of distraction. And if you restrict your intuition feeling it´s a girl now, it´s not going to make the disappointment any less.

Confession: I was in my birth country last weekend and we bought one girly newborn outfit and 3 girly onesies. Yeah I did spend a couple of hours imagining what it´s going to be like actually putting them on my baby and thinking what a shame it will be if I won´t use them. But after that I´m completely neutral again, not to desperate for a girl, it is as if just buying these was already enough for me.

Dh had a day off work today and we went and bought everything we need for the baby in one shop. Lovely feeling! From being unprepared in a couple of hours I turned into completely preparated! We bought a pram, bath, small things and a little crib that you can attach to our bed, it´s the first time we´re letting the baby sleep with us, lesson learned after DS2! He started sleeping through at 2 years.

Belle eeks your son kept that up until he started school?? My DS2 used to be such a sweet boy...
What you´re describing is exactly how I felt few weeks before DS2 was born, sounds like you´re not going to last to 40 weeks either.

Aww girls I really do hope you get your little girls. Indira it's a good feeling buying for your maybe daughter. I use to buy for my imaginary daughter and it's been a good omen because now she's a reality. Which reminds me I'm going to book a 4d ultrasound for my bellybou, I can't wait to see her prescious face and toes and everything. I had ds1 2 weeks early and ds2 3 weeks early so maybe I'll be lucky to get to the end of June...or who knows

[indigoviolet]

Indira- glad you are still feeling happy with either gender. It is wonderful to get all that stuff sorted, it is lovely having new things for a new baby, makes it feel so real and exciting!

I'm feeling really good about this baby being a boy now, I am amazed at how happy I am about it, I was really expecting a lot of GD but I am so relieved. All you girls have definitely helped me

well, i woke up about 4.30 yesterday morning with mild contractions, 5-7 mins apart, lasing about a minute each.
they werent super painful, but bad enough to keep me awake.

guzzled a heap of water, had a hot shower and changed positions etc, eventually, after about 4 hours they eased up, and totally stopped by the afternoon.
havent had any more today, but have been loosing bits of plug every time i go to the loo, and feeling kinda odd down there, so im guessing there was some dialation going on.
bub is also sitting lower than ever.

i have only ever had one faulse start like that before, and that was with my youngest, on his due date, he was born a week later.
just going to take it easy for the next couple of weeks, im only 10 days away from 37 weeks...
if we can keep it in there untill then i will be happy..

[Indira]

O dannikins that must have been a bit scary! Although I´m sure the baby would be fine if it would come now, if it will stay in for another 10 days things will be easier I guess! Well you´re not going to arrive untill 41 weeks, that´s clear!
My Ds2 birth went just like that, with two false starts and loosing the plug. Are you going to see your midwife/dr.?
The good thing about your baby starting to being on the way is that we will know soon what you´re having!!
