Pregnancy's Best Kept Secrets

I can understand, even if baby only moves a bit, it might bring some comfort.

Do you want a Csection? You dont have to have one if you dont want to, you can try and go natural if you want.

My stepmum is not very tall either, and she delivered my 11lb2 sister just fine. Its all what you prefer.

no one told me that your sense of smell becomes hyper sensitve!, for the 1st 3 months I could smell peoples breath a mile away and it made me gag! (it wasn't that they had bad breath, I could just smell breath!)
very strange!

Me too mykidsmum, I could smell peoples clothing. I knew what washing powder everyone was using !!!

I found out yesterday that according to the scan, my daughter is 11lb and I have 2 and a half weeks till her removal! She is sideways(transverse) and I have to go into Hospital twice a week till she is born.....

Anyone any experience of a very large baby???

Hi ooobedoo My DD is 3 months now. She was 10lb born.

She was head down but back to back! They said she was too big to turn?? I had a section which i didn't want but wasn't as bad as I thought! At the end of the day they will do want best for baby.

Good luck.

I will just have to start reading a really good book, I like chick lit so will go to the library and borrow a load. If I am admitted I will be in for 2 and a half weeks till she is removed!

Sleep deprevation.......................................

Snaggles

Oh ooobedoo, that was heartfelt! Poor you.

I used to use an eyelash curler a lot after I had my first baby - it didn't wake me up, but it made me look a bit more awake lol!

I'm 5 months pregnant at the moment, and I'm already up half the night going to the loo. I think it's my body's way of preparing me for the sleep deprivation that's to come!

ooobedoo

Put it this way, I am seriously thinking of getting my dr to write me a script for pile cream-for under my eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just found out I'm pregnant with number 2 and have been scaring myself with thoughts of giving brith again, this thread came ironically enough as light relief!

They neglect to tell you that being stitched and trying to get into a lowered sports car with bucket seats is almost impossible to do without your eye's watering. AND that you'll become uber infatuated with how much longer they'll take to all fall out.

When the midwife gives you the vitamin K injection, you'll be clueless as you'll be in pain with baby coming out (I asked her when she was going to do it and she already had! :rotfl: )

You think it's all over and then you get 32 stitches. When you politely ask if you can 'opt out' as you're so peed off with being 'fiddled' with, you're told you won't heal properly and no-one else is such a big baby as you... sorry, would my husband give birth? I think not....

Then, when you really and truely think the ordeal is over, the lovely student nurse who hung around well after her shift finished to see your baby wants to give you your bed bath that you never knew happened. The problem is, you're bleeding everywhere, the epidural you had finally decides to kick in and stop your legs working (I was walking to and from the birthing stool before this :rolleyes: ), and you can't even be annoyed at the nurse as she's really lovely.

Oh... and no-one can truly prepare you for just how hot and soar your boobs get when you stop feeding. Hot lead balls doesn't quite sum it up
