Well done snuffilin, and what a fantastic name!!

My ticker says 69 days... I'm just off to check the cupboards now but pretty sure there's nothing... Might have to settle for some digestive biscuits... Ooooh.... I just remembered the choccy biccys upstairs by the bed... All may not be lost....

Just a thought about 4d scans for those of you who weren't around...

I had to go back twice for mine because Bubba wouldn't play ball...which in the end took me to about 31 weeks. Much longer and I wouldn't have been able to have one (they don't do them after 32 weeks because there is not enough fluid to get a clear picture. So don't leave it until the last minute - you may be very disappointed.

Hi Everyone, hope you are all well!

Have not ben logged in for a while since having my baby boy on Monday 2nd of March. Axel was born by caesarian nearly 2 weeks early. He was breach and due to his position and the low amount of fluid they decided to get him out early. A bit unexpected as I only came in on Monday morning to try to have him turned. At 13.09 he was born weighing 3490g (sorry ,don't know lb & oz). Everything went really well and we were able to come home Wednesday lunchtime.

I was quite scared of having a c-section, it was pretty much my nightmare scenario but it turned out not to be a big deal at all. I was also a little disappointed to not get to experience the labour and birth, sort o felt like I was missing out but once Axel was here it did not matter anymore how he got here.

I will keep following the thread to keep me updated on how you all get on.

42 days give or take a fortnight :rolleyes:

Thats what my Mum said, always count down till 42 weeks! My brother was born at 38 weeks, and Mum expected that with me, but I stayed in till 42 weeks and she was very, very fed up!

I'm hoping for EDD+4, 24th of April. That'd be most convient for everyone :rotfl:

Well we had some bad news today, OH is being laid off his job at the end of the month
Perfect timing, but at least we have got all the baby stuff.
I just hope he manages to find something by then.
I have 42 days left too and I'm seriously thinking about leaving it to 38 weeks then if i've not given birth asking for a section, I cant bear to get much more bigger *cries* apparently they wont let me got over by more than a week max, but I seriously dont see how I can cope with another 6 weeks worth of growth!

Believe me, you will find a way for every day to be the 'best' day for him to be born.

I was saying to hubby this morning that mathematically this would be the best day for him to be born...
Hubbys birthday is 3/6
My birthday is 6/9
Today is 9/3


Good eh?

Doesn't look like Bubba was listening though!!

Babies don't do convenience though FG... My ideal date would be 6th May.... I'm not expecting this one until at least 24th May though... I just have a feeling it will go a week over...

Awww AM, I'm sorry. I can sympathise - OH's contract expires on our Due Date! The not knowing is pretty scary. Hope he finds something decent quickly.

I don't understand how I can physically get any bigger. I mean, if bump sticks out much more, I'll fall over!
