I was wondering where Helen is too! Hopefully it's good news.

Karen I'm 38+1 and I get up about 4 times in the night to go to the toilet, then some nights I get back to sleep almost straight away and some nights I lie awake for ages. I don't think I can get comfortable enough to sleep right through.

Always - prob worth keeping. from what i have heard (I am sure the ladies who have had babies will correct me if I am wrong) you bleed quite a lot after the birth. But I would think it must slow down a bit when you might be able to use them.

FR - sorry your NHS are so crap. At least you have had an extra viewing of your LO!

Any post 38 week people - are you having a decent night sleep at all? I am resigned that I won't be sleeping properly again but occasionally hopeful that there might be a possibility of sleeping through one night...... otherwise that's it until Jr is 18!!!

I managed until last night to only get up once a night and otherwise sleep fine but I've always been quite good at getting off to sleep - if I find it hard at all I do yoga relaxation techniques. I often have a nap though the day as well if I'm tired.

I've used always night pads after mine, once i come home from hospital 3 days later. I usually have very light periods so it was heavy for me but not excessive. Not sure of the difference after a natural birth rather than c- section but it will get lighter towards the end like a period does.

Karen I hope you get a decent nights sleep before jr is 18, mine slept through from 4 months ish but those first 3 months are the worst for lack of sleep. Pregnancy really does prepare you for it lol

See I feel tired, go to bed, manage to get to sleep really quickly then wke up around 1/2 am and can't go back to sleep. Just lay there trying not to disturb DH. I don't even get up to go to the toilet except maybe once but not every night. Just don't know. I end up dowloading podcast so I listen to them when I am lying awake.

it can feel like it sometimes especially when you are not getting enough sleep, it really is torture.

Late afternoon all.. well its my D-Day and nothing... and people asking me if im fed up is making me fed up because I actually dont mind, just cant wait to meet our ickle baby now...

Have been for a walk today and just finished yoga, which seemed to get things going on Tuesday.. Last night i was having the worst back pain and a tight chest and i think is this it... then nothing... ha ha..

My boobies are leaking soo much, used up loads of breast pads lately..

Well my pregnancy journey is almost over and although I am glad I will be losing my big hard football tummy I am really looking forward to feeling like myself again.. one tip to any newbees stay fit... I'm so glad I managed to run up until 7 months and the swimming/aqua has been fantastic as well... good luck everyone.. x

Just checked on FB - Helen said she is at pizza hut celebrating friend's b'day today so that's probably why. Just hoping that when she wanted baby to stay in baby didn't decide to come out lol.

My MW said to me today that if I have a show then it could take another week before labour starts. Think Helen had her show longer than a week ago??? Oh well I am still waiting for something to happen. But as I have said previously then I shall be on here going "what shall I do???" he he.

Oh yes happy due date Nanc

Really fancy a roast but i have to go and see naked men instead !!!! Hard life but someone has to do it !!!!
But my oh loves my roast potatoes i use goose fat not healthy but so tasty and mustard seeds and do mini roast potatoes they are so nice and come out realyy crispy xx

so your still going to get your meat and two veg then:rotfl:

I was going to just have soup for tea but am thinking it would be nice if dh picked something up on his way home but i prob wouldn't enjoy it. Also he hates it cos he can't have mcdonalds or kfc or pizza so it is not nice for him to have to get it for me when he can't even have it.

Mum fetched my ds for me but he has started with it now and is currently dosing on the sofa great half term we are going to have.

I so am in the club i have the best eviction plan. Section! But just how early will they do it that is the question? I am told they only do it a week early but my niece will be one that week so i will make sure it isn't on that day. I don't find out the date until the 11th of nov but i want to know now! I know someone that is due xmas day and she has been told she is having hers on the 9th that's quite a bit early.

OOooh you girls get through so many pages so quickly, lol!

It's not fair you are all talking about food and i can't stomach meat again Happened with DD and i spent about 8 months completely veggie
So last night i had an Uncle Bens Mediteranean Rice (microwave one but they taste gorge) and salad. Prob something similar tonight, OH has to cook the meat bit for him and DD coz i can't most nights.

I saw my GP, just had a chat and checked BP. She is refering me to the EPAU so i just have to wait for that call. Still i think it won't be until Monday at the soonest so still got a lot of waiting to do but at least some progress
