MSE Pregnancy Club 28

Hello ladies, (gatecrashing from the less than 12 weeks thread as I seem to be the only one there at the moment)
Can anyone recommend some over the bump briefs that offer light support without digging in anywhere please? This is my third pregnancy and my belly feels much bigger than it should for this point.

Snow they don't half know how to frighten us, keeps us on our toes I guess. Hope your appointment went well.

Arbrighton hope you feel better and enjoy/take it easy walking the dogs.

Sweet fingers crossed she can squeeze you in, if not at least she can see you the day after.

So induction booked in for Sunday, the wouldn't entertain a second sweep as I am already favourable. Again, they hope I go before then as do I. Lots of twinges/contractions but nothing concrete. Also lost my plug, had to get the OH to double check :rotfl: told him he'll see far worse come baby's arrival. I'm glad he can find the humour in it as much as I do. Back on my ball now, and meeting some of the other NCT ladies later. Another one is due to get induced Saturday, and one is due Sunday so could very well have our own wee reunion this weekend.

Dog walk was erm entertaining. BIGdog chased ducks and fell in the canal. Again.

Little dog just kept providing 'gifts', not appreciating that the floor really is a blinking long way away now!!!

I'm pottering around the house vaguely tidying it and a friend is going to be driving more or less past on the motorway on tues so arranged for them to come to lunch

Well done Vanilla! And good luck April...

It's been a bit of a carp week here - had a call from work yesterday asking me to go in for a meeting. Turns out my role is at risk of redundancy, with a 30 day consultation period. Poorest ever possible timing. Am in again next Tuesday for the first 'meeting' (assuming baby doesn't arrive between now and then). So have been a bit emotional and all over the place - was in tears in bed this morning. OH was brilliant, just found me a hanky and gave me a cuddle, which is what I needed. Could really do without all the extra worry though :mad:

Apart from that, no real signs here - a bit of front pelvis aching, which I assume is just the baby's head going deeper, and occasional mild period type pains is all. Really doesn't feel real at all. Pretty tired though - 1 trip out of the house a day seems to be about all I can manage, and still struggling to knuckle down and finally finish packing hospital bag.

Sorry no specific comments everyone else - I am reading and thinking of you all, just feeling a bit sorry for myself and not terribly chatty. I think going into labour would be a relief, as it would at least give me something else to think about

Enjoy maternity leave arbrighton and sweetbabu.

April- fingers crossed for baby soon! I found the contractions etc really frustrating as I felt my body was so close to labour but not quite getting there. If you do get to induction, I hope your experience of it as positive as mine, the worst bit was the sitting around waiting and being on and off the ctg all day.

Well done vanilla. We need to book to register, something for next week! I have also found the first week of breastfeeding harder than I expected, hats off to you for managing it after a C section. We have managed to get out twice- once to a retail park for a wander and a coffee, and today we went to vote and the local shop. Our feeding routine isn't the really there yet and at nighttime we have 4 hour screaming sessions that are truly awful. But during the day he is a dream and once down at night he is great.

Firebird- thinking of you. That truly sucks.
