Ha look at me posting two days in a row how good am I....
Have forgotten most of what i have read though lol
Do remember a couple of things..
waters breaking - with DS1 they broke them when I was induced (had been induced due to lack of waters..then flooded the delivery room!)
DS2 waters never broke, ever he was born in the caul (sp?) the sac was fully intact and the midwife ripped it open when he was born, amazing although i never saw it OH says it looked like he was a little alien in a bubble, can't wait to see what happens with this one
Memory boxes - i have cards, newspaper etc from DS1 but not many photos, i was 16 and had a cheapy disposable camera when he was little which didn't develop too well so no decent first photos, with DS2 i have hundreds if not thousands of photos of him since he was born due to digital technology! poor DS1...although i do have the obligotory pic of him dressed as a girl with hair in bunches and one of my leopard print tops on that looks like a dress!

Took my 3 week old nephew out for the day with my boys nipped into my work for lunch had a little mooch around town, was defo good practice for October!
Keep floating between the idea that i've (a)still got soooooo long to go (b)not that long, about to enter the 3rd trimester am about halfway on the list which is crazy as it feels like yesterday I was added and stayed at the bottom alone for a couple days.
Got some heatpads from pundland today which def took the edge of back pain so think i'll invest in a wheat pack to get me through

Hope everyones good tonight x

Crazytink: heat packs/ wheat bags are a godsend for bad backs, I've got a wheat bag that goes inside a monkey soft toy couple of mins in the microwave and it's bliss on my back worth every penny! Make sure u follow heating instructions closely as I had a wheat pack previously that I put on for 1 minute 2 long and it burst into flames!

Went to cinema this avo with friends and OH, it was lovely. Although I am worried as after 1 hour journey my back/ ribs killed and I'm going on a 4 hour journey this weekend bit apprehensive as I'm sure I'll be in agony.

Any second timers recollect when they first felt bump move? I am slightly perplexed as to whether I am feeling body stretching or bubs wiggling (in which case I may be on further than I thought).

I was 9/10 weeks when I feel mine shifting about and about 13 weeks when I felt proper kicks... with second and subsequent.. apart from #4 and this one as both had/have anterior placentas which make it more difficultto feel the movements.

Sammy had to wait until Sonee made her boy announcement to keep the boy-girl pattern for this month correct!

morning everyone xx

The kids are going back to school today yay. Bit of peace for the morning at least.

delain I am totally craving pork but even I don't like the sound of the pork mince.

I think the baby was kicking me at work last night still waiting for regular kicks, only get the odd one here or there. Pigpen mine is anterior placenta too so maybe that is why I don't feel it so much. Have had 2 proper nearly knocked me over kicks I couldn't miss but last night was the more fluttering kind. I do wonder if the second c-section cut through some of my nerves too though because some of my tummy is still numb 4 years later.

I started feeling DS move when I was about 10 weeks, kicks from about 14 weeks.

Krystaltips

Last time I felt her move once at about 10 weeks and then a bit more from 12 weeks... Felt her roll over all the time...

This time I've felt a couple of wiggles in there but as it's about the size of a raspberry at the moment I'm guessing it's just things stretching and moving into place...

Sammykaye.....has been a little quiet this evening especially after posting about plug this morning, fingers crossed that labour vibes are working!

:(:( Im not that bleeding lucky tickle. Its more a case of boyfriend takes over the computer at about 6pm when he gets in and I cant get a look in until the morning! Did have backache all of yesterday and a great deal of pelvic pain and when she woke up last night between 7-9 I did wonder if I'd be having mummy cuddles now but nope.

delain --- Hopefully she's got her lil girl by now

Nope she is still being stubborn. Fingers crossed the hospital I have to birth at will be able to fit me in today or tomorrow though for induction.

Sammy had to wait until Sonee made her boy announcement to keep the boy-girl pattern for this month correct!

not amused - I know 6 people who were due AFTER me who are all having mummy cuddles and I'm still bleeding sat here! Although one did have to have an emergency c section because of placenta previa and her little boy popped out at 9lb 14ozs! :eek:


Typical too - Ben went on a school trip yesterday and came home saying he had a crunchy strawberry - looked in his mouth and he's lost the bloody filling from his bad tooth so got to sort him in the dentist at 10am this morning before the consultant at the hospital at 11am - cant imagine they'd leave me over the weekend - I'm a week over now. :eek:

I tried my big knickers on to check they fit and they're actually quite comfortable... I may wear them even before the birth;)

I bet you love reading about these things on here don't you?:p Knickers, wee, other bodily fluids etc etc!!:rotfl:

haha. i dont really mind to be honest, ive never been the squimish sort. I can also show Mrs Buf some of the posts and say 'see, it happens to them too' as she can get really embarassed about some stuff.

Its all normal natural stuff. As long as i dont ever meet any of you i wont have to look some of you in the face and think 'snot in knickers!'. LOL :A

The embarrassment is something she will probably get over whilst pregnant. It's natural yes but dignified NO! She will have that many people looking at her foof, feeling her belly and sticking needles in her she will lose count !
