Hi everyone, hope you and your bumps are all ok?
Just quickly grabbing some lunch - we've got an event tonight, so I've got to work to 8.30-8.45pm(-ish), so think I'm going to be knackered later.
Loved the pink superman outfit - fantastic!
Nikkit - what a great product to test, I enjoyed my porridge, but that one sounds more useful.... The pains sound a bit worrying - perhaps you should give the labour ward a ring just to be on the safe side?
CAFC - boo for toothache, hope it goes soon.

ooo thanks for the tip re: Morrisons! We've literally just had 1 open down the road and now I have the perfect excuse to go, as ASDA is about 20/30 min away...I need to get some new teats for my TT CTN bottles so this works out well (the ones that came with are far too slowwwww)

yay for being on Team Find-Out-on-the-Day! LOL...it's wonderful, it really is. I'm so glad we waited as it really was the best surprise ever to not find out 'til the very moment. Not that I'm dissing people who find out early - it's a personal decision of course! (like you SJ, I had a gut feeling Finn was a boy though I never voiced it outloud)

hope all you bumps are doing well! Finn is turning into a chubby monkey, as at the clinic this morning he gained a whole pound in the space of 1 week! No wonder he's been feeding like mad

nikkit - lucky you on BB! I got a stupid book and they STILL haven't given me the form to fill out. I wanted something useful or toys!

Oh gosh, yes I can see why that might put you off ringing...

Hi Nikkit,I think every labour is different,but thought I'd answer as your post scared me too!lolOnly 1 wk behind you.With my dd I had period pain and a little backache throughtout the day but just put it down to braxton hicks etc.Does your tummy go hard when the period pain starts?Maybe for your own peace of mind if it doesn't ease off in an hr or so ring your mw and see what she says.(bearing in mind your hind waters have leaked,if I'm remembering correctly?)

Re slow teats - if you hold a needle point in a flame, you can make the hole slightly bigger whch may help

Hi All, Is Bizzie Baby still cost £5 to register? Thanks

Yes it is

Yorky - All I had was 500ml of Lucozade half an hour before and mine was cool

ymakesmile - the box itself I thnk its useless its too big imo, I will use the stuff out of it but I am going to keep it all in a wicker basket on a shelf under the changer

Ohhhhhh Nikkit I wonder what that means? are you ok with going in labour if you are lol I know he's early though

Ohhhhhh GISI now that seems like a very good thing to use the box for I might steal that idea

well I managed to find stuff out about the maternoty ward, tehre are 13 en suite delivery rooms, and one watebirth room, so I want to talk to MW about the pool birth, see if its just for special cases or if anyone can use it on a first come first served basis

And the bedrooms are single, double and quads, so I am wondering if the singles are kept for anyone in particular and if not can you request a single when you get there if they are full lol

nikkit72

twinkles yes i have tightenings , also a little pressure in my bum, i am hoping deep down it may be bowels, but really dont think it is. When u said erlier you thought it was BH wit dd , did you give birth that day

Twinkles08

I gave birth the next day in the afternoon.But it was quite a long labour as it was my 1st.I had the period pain,backache,which I mistook for BH all day on the sat,by midnight I started to wonder doh!By 2am sun morn was in hosptital.Laboured all of Sunday .But yes for me it was the start.Have you been rushing rd or doing too much?Maybe if you put your feet up or go for a lie down?xx

Try not to panic hun even if this is it,he's nearly full term,so he should be fine x

Nikki, hopefully it is just some strong tightenings. If it is the start of things then Good luck honey and try not to worry too much about hosp, the fact they're being slated in the news and stuff at the moment hopefully means they've pulled their finger out and hopefully you'll get the best care ever!!!
