I need to get bubs some shoes he has already outgrown his 12-18month softies i am pained to part with almost £30 for clarks shoes yet as he is only taking the odd step here and there so isnt really walking but baby shoes just dont fit him any more. Any suggestions ladies ?

Try Next, I got Caitlyn some lovely little pumps from there and she walks in them just fine... I'll probably splash out and get her some Clarks at the end of the month when I take Aimee for her back to school shoes...

morning all

sir m - can't believe they've still not told you anything! rubbish.

re: Baby clothes, I think I'll need more 0-3 month stuff and beyond that I only have 1 pack 3-6 month vests and 6 sleepsuits. But I think we are likely to get bought stuff, plus everything is basically white with a few cream patterned bits til we know what we're having!

I will wash some of the baby sheets and blankets today I think, still waiting for last night's stuff to finish drying.

Still in a lot of pain today, am annoyed with myself for overdoing it. Pain is now in my groin and between my legs as well as in hips

Today... I can't walk!

The numb leg has gone twitchy and strange and I fall over if I take a few steps, and standing up from siting is an ordeal

My brother thinks it's my balance, because I can't feel the leg, but but isn't nice, I'm walking like I've been on a 3 day drinking binge!

I know if I ring the hospital they will tell me to go back to A&E and have a repeat of Friday I am going to call though and check that they are going to ring me tomorrow cos I can't carry on like this! My nan was very good about the whole thing and hopefully she will have the monsters if they re admit me so I haven't got to get grief from my mum again, my nan understands OH has to go to work, especially as he has booked a whole week's holiday end of August to do my decorating and move stuff about. I love my mum dearly but I wish she wouldn't drink, it makes her say and do really stupid things.

Sir M, I totally understand! It's much better at home. I did try to snatch an hours rest on the sofa as OH and my brother were here to monster watch but twin 2 kept coming up and planting kisses on me because 'she missed me' bless her.

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: at the 'man juice' popsicles :rotfl: :rotfl: I'm not sure if even my ridiculous cravings for cold things are extreme enough to make me eat one of those without feeling queasy _pale_

Rach, I hope you feel better soon! Just get lots of rest.

Any suggestions for a summery sunday lunch? It's finally sunny here in the Peak District and I'd like to take advantage of it. I'm thinking grilled chicken with green vegetables and some buttery new potatoes?

Oh blimey delain! Balance is supposed to go crap in later pregnancy but not like that!!! (I managed to walk into bathroom door bashed 1 foot then kitchen door then bashed the other foot!:o)

Sir M... when I had high blood pressure with DS I managed to make it until the day before due date then they induced me. I was in hospital for weeks before then and wish I had discharged myself but I was only 17 and it was a VERY long time ago when they every problem in pregnancy was admitted to hospital!!

I don't think the devil child has shifted:( I did have my hopes up but the huge big lump up by boobs is still very much there.

:eek::eek::eek: I could be having a baby on tues!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek: He'll be 4 weeks early so will he be in special care????

The chances of having emergency cs are low but we all know what this child has been like from day 1 so I'm starting to prepare myself!!

And of course there's no way he's going to move for consultant doing ECV!:rotfl:So if I don't have him Tues I will def be getting a date within the next 2 weeks for section:eek:

Oh gawd I'm blabbering aren't I??:o It's cos I'm getting all nervous!

Happy due date kitkat:D

At 4 weeks early the chances are he will not be in SCBU.. after about 35 weeks they really don't need to be.. though they will assess on delivery and go from there.

Smartie - a 36 weeker should be ok, might need a little bit of o2 or some help with regulatin blood sugars. If blood sugar is an issue boobie him often is supposed to help lots. He will be fine even if he is born tuesday. DD1 nursery teacher delivered at 34.5 weeks just at easter there. Baby was fine just dinky small. Have you got someone to pick you up some early baby babygros if he does make an appearence?

Delain - not good.

I am rubbish today. Need to get in shower but have no motivation. Kids are away out with family so this is my chance to be lazy and do stuff for me but can't be bothered moving.

Welcome to the newbies and new babies. Labour Vibes to all who need them.

I've been awake since about 5 this morning with tummy pains and loose poopies :rotfl: but not Diawoowoo.

Things seemed to have settled down now though which sucks. I hate this not knowing part of Pregnancy. Is this it? Is this it? Could This be it? :mad:

Ah well. I'm allowed her to be born today, but not tomorrow or tuesday as Ma is busy working then. Wednesday, thursday and friday I'm fine but Saturday is a little too busy for her. :rotfl: Well aslong as the time suits her I suppose :rotfl:

sir_monster

Smartie thanks I think they are being overly cautious by wanting to keep me in - do you know bubs projected weight as mine was last estimated at 4lbs at 34+ weeks so could depend on the size too whether they go into SCBIU. Btw Dh has started calling bubs Damian due to the stress he has been putting me under!!

also has anyone else been on the fetal monitor thing where they strap you up feel bubs heartbeat, click when they move. They take my b/p at the same time and I swear feeling/hearing bubs def pushes it up as when I am just lying down is a lot less so next time will ask them to take it seperately.

Good luck KK and hope you feel better Rach.
