All those mum's to be that are due just before xmas like myself...are you panicking about how you'll get everything done? Luckilly I thought ahead and have ordered my tree and decortations and we will be putting it up on the 1st..early i know but i dont know how much I'll get to see of it lol. We've also done all our xmas shopping! And the good thing is that my parents have asked us to stay with them during xmas week to make it easy for us..no cooking and support with bubs etc. So we're really lucky. Yet i'm still stressing! I'm not sure why. Its silly things really like how are we gonna have time to get bubs birth registered and apply for family allowance etc before xmas? And how am i gonna find enough time to pack everything for my parents? And I have no clothes to wear after bubs is born, what do i do? lol Really silly things! Why am i stressing so much. Hows everyone else feelin about it? x

same boat hun i keep stressing bout the same as i presume they are closed over crimbo and new year??

i want to put up the tree first week of december but i havent even started buying it yet or crimbo cards etc

Please stop stressing. My daughter was due on 14th Dec, I put my tree up second week of Dec as we had just finished getting the front room plastered and decorated, had all my presents wrapped and then mylabour started on Christmas day, she arrived 2 days after. You have 6 weeks to get them registered, and they will probbaly only be closed on christmas day, boxig day and new yeras day, same as the shops. I was still in my mat clothes for two weeks after the birth then fitted into my old clothes, plus you have the sales which is always handy. I didn't find it anymore stressful then if I was giving birth in the summer, it was just the christmas pressie shopping that I needed to do.

Thanks Beanie, you're right. All the paperwork can wait till the new year and so can the clothes, will probs take me that time for my tum to flatten again anyway. x

Im ready for xmas, pressants are all wraped and given out to family and friends, we are putting the decorations up on the 1st Dec and buying a spare freezer for the Iceland shop, we are making it easier this year and stocking up on frozen.

The only thing im worried about is going over my due date, i dont want to be away from my kids at xmas so im praying Rhydian will come early but if not at least on time.

x

Yeah they will be closed but like Beanie said, we have 6weeks to sort it so i guess there's no rush. It is hard just to chill though, im a natural worrier lol. x

yeah things should be fine when things start happening it will all work out anyway things always do x

I dont know how im gonna fit everything in and im due now!!!! Stupid isnt it, my tree is going up on 1st december (provided im not in labour) , ive got all nicoles and my oh's xmas pressies in so anyone after that can just wait, but the worst thing for me is my work xmas party is on 15th december and i really want to go but i dont wanna look like a heffer and im not spending any money on new clothes.

Argh!!!!

Wear black You won't look like a heffer you'd have no long had a baby. We usually notice these things not others

Im just about ready for christmas I think. My tree is up. Just got presents to wrap etc, most xmas cards are written out.

Only got my mam and OH to finishing xmas shopping for now.

As for clothes... I'll felt crap in maternity clothes for so long a few extre weeks in anything i can get on wont hurt until i can get out and get some decent clothes.
