    BargainCarly - I wonder who will pop first? Do you know what your having?
    And dont worry I only packed my bag yesterday :rotfl:Still havnt put all the things in for baby though!

    Yeah having a boy - so you'll prob pop first as boys are normally late apparently. I have 2 half packed bags at mo - 1 for me and 1 for baby, but i'm considering transferring both into a suitcase - do u think it'll look too weird arriving at the hosp with a suitcase or is it the norm?? And cos I know i'll be in for 48hrs i dont know how much of everything to pack :(
    Have you sorted a "going home outfit" yet? if so is it maternity sized??

    ETA - just thinking - you are technically due 2 weeks before me as my DD is 25th June, but am going to be sectioned around the 17th (not been given an exact date yet) So are you going to beat me ???????

    The race is on !!!!!!!!

    hi,

    its my due date today (as well as sparkles) but no signs as yet. I did ask my hubby to try to induce me this morning iykwim ;) but he's not been interested in having sex with me for months :( and we only got married in Nov (I can count the no of times we've done it since we got wed on my hands) Wouldnt be so bad if my pregnancy hormones hadnt made me so horny!

    I have gbs as well, have had it in my water for 3-4 weeks and its given me hip and back pain (to the extent that I was almost immobilised and thought that my hip was seized up)- I only discovered the other day that by taking paracetamol (i never normally take any pills for pain) that not only does the pain go but i can actually walk normally again - must have just been the pain making me hobble! Waiting for the latest set of urine results cos the last 2 courses of abs didnt clear up the uti - although think they have run out of preg safe ABs that will work...and had sooooo many problems with the hosp losing results/not testing in the first place cos of wrong containers etc. argh!

    I dont think it matters too much about not getting the IV abs for 4 hrs during labour - if they dont catch you in time they give them directly to the baby, and I agree knowing you have GBS is better than not knowing either way. Not that its a big deal- my MW was saying you watch your baby like a hawk for the 1st couple of days anyway, which makes me wonder why they make you stay in hosp for 48hrs after the birth, but ho hum.

    anyway, now the pain has gone and i can walk again i have more energy to do the nesting type things i've been putting off - just hope i've not left it too late!! also joined the ebay thread today to try to motivate myself to sell....just need to stop talking about it and actually do it...like finishing packing my hosp bag (oh the shame!!). Time for action.....must turn off the internet.....

    The last thing you want is for them to give the baby the antibiotics. They take the baby away from you, mine for 3 days. The only place they could eventually get the drip in was his foot, took ages and lots of trying. They have to be kept in Special Care and the antibiotics do have side effects. Even after the antibiotics we were warned to keep a very close eye on him for the 1st month. I sat on a ward with other mums for all that time with no baby. Please, please try to get to the hospital in time for you to have them! X :sad:
    Too many children, too little time!!!
    :p
