I've finished work now and am sooo loving it! Spending lots of time relaxing . The quiet before the storm and all that

Had some bad period pains over the last week but nothing regular.

Went to a parentcraft session last week. It was two hours long and sooo rubbish. Really disappointing and a total waste of time. We spent two hours making lists!!

we went to the parentcraft class and it was a waste of time and it cost us £7 to park the car at hospital,what a waste of time.

what sorts of lists did you do? x x

It's stupid isn't it! Luckily we didn't have to pay to park otherwise i really would have kicked off!

We wrote down what we wanted to know... then she briefly went through each answer. Then What hospitals were local to us. Briefly touched on pain relief and which hospitals DIDN'T have what!!

A 20 minute tea/coffee/wee break. With no tea bags or coffee....

When we left we were locked in and had to get the security guard to let us out.

Was NOT impressed!


I'm even finding the midwife appointments are getting shorter and shorter... can they not spare the cash to make sure we and our babies are ok?!!

sorry.... hormonal!

My paretncraft was really good!! Was two hours with a break in the middle with jaffa cakes! Yum yum

the info she gave was really useful. All about the units and hospital and when exactly to call in when labour starts.

so ladies...the last post was ay.. we couldnt say were havin our baby next month but now we can,

out of all of you july due daters are there any of us that have started labour, getting signs etc? how are you all feeling?

hi,

ive been feeling uncomfortable and have had a few period like pains.
not getting much sleep.
im only comfy on my left side but can only lay on that side for about an hour and then it uncomfy and then i cant get comfy on my other side.

i feel very heavy.

my dad made me feel happy today,he goes to me 'ooh just think this time next month baby will nearly be here.'

i was like umm is that all it is.
it feels along time when you say 7 weeks but when you think of it as this time next month, it seems so close.

how are you bigbelly?

i thought i lost part of my plug about two weeks ago, but nothing since. The BH are mega mega constant and very hard. I have had contractions but they stop before much happens Not looking good for me right now. I am now starting to think i might be holding out to 40 weeks. Especially as there is no sign of the 40 induction i was promised when they thought Tom was big.

Apart from that, usual pregnancy niggles. cant sleep, peeing for england....

Attempts to get him out =

daily sesh with OH
Curries at least three times a week
Two cups of raspberry leaf tea
lots of walking
bouncing on a birthing ball....

not working!!!

i dont think i have had any BH.

Hi'ya girlies... can't believe we'll have our babies next month!!!! So exciting!!

But i am getting more and more scared about the whole 'labour' thing

I've been having lots of period and lower back pain. Really quite bad. My trip to Asda lasted two hours on Friday.. had to keep stopping.
Can't sleep either, peeing what seems like every blimmin hour.

On the up side i have finished baby's hospital bag yesterday and there's only a few more bits i need to do mine. Feel like once i've got that done and sorted and i can start to relax.

They could be here anytime now

I am not scared about the labour. But when i got admitted last week to the labour ward there was a cot in my room and i found that a bit freaky!! I can't believe I am gonna be a mummy!!

It is a great feeling when you finally feel all ready and prepared!! My hospital bag almost fills my boot loL!
