Fuzz its probs just because bubs is so big now, less room for dancing about in there! try cold/fizzy drinks and laying down. id give it a while and if your not happy phone the midwife.

i havent a clue about my babys movements at all! sometimes he goes quiet for AGES and i forget how long its been since ive felt him move etc, then everytime i think right i may have to go to hosp to be checked out he will do a big somersault.

Thanks Dream:) I'll do that on my lunch...I'm half thinking bubs has gone back to being breech as I felt less movements last time it turned!
Christ! Didn't think the worrying would start just yet lol

I will be giving breatfeeding a good go and also giving top up feeds. Mine need top ups anyway to make sure their blood sugars don't drop too low then I'm ok for the first day or 2 but the real milk takes so long to come in, DD lost quite a bit of weight and I was so scared DS would do the same I quickly swapped to formula and didn't give breastfeeding enough of a chance, should have just given the odd top up. It's probably because they are early and by c-section but the milk isn't there and you can't even express something that isn't there, I did try.

Lillian I agree with rach, I've got sleeping bags to use and obviously need sheets but in winter a blanket as well sometimes plus they are handy for out and about and the first few weeks. With DS I only used the sleeping bags at night and used blankets during the day downstairs.

OH took DS to the doctor this morning he has prescribed a new cream for the boys fungal infection that is not getting any better and another cream for the sore behind his ear and hasn't said which is which, good thing I have a rough idea what they are but I'll double check with the pharmacist.

I'm the same dream - really quiet/I don't notice movements for ages, then loads and loads!

Plumber is here and putting in the shower is taking ages....I am desperate for the loo...I may have to pee in a cup soon! Had to quickly rescue all my baby clothes which were on the airer on the landing when he started drilling......

Think the belly monster has gone back to breech...I can feel it's head with my hand and it's moving when I press it(cruel mummy:p) I just can't feel it moving internally iyswim:o
Will still go home for a lay down though just to make sure:)

Fuzz im just remembering when i was around the same stage as you i thought bubs was breech, totally convinced myself i could feel a head - it was his bum the whole time :rotfl: now i havent a clue what way he is laying, the doctor says he's head down, but if you seen some of the shapes my bump goes you would swear i was having a starfish.

just realised theres no instructions with the RLT so im guessing you just make it like normal tea? my mum just told me she was overdue with all 4 of us, and my nan was overdue with twins :eek: so deffo think il be overdue now!

How difficult would it be to just express breast milk and give baby that? Hubby is a bit squeemish re the BF'ing! (rollseyes).

Is it doable?

Elle on the Parent thread did that for a year (i think)

Maybe ask on there?

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I'm 99% sure it's bubba's noggin, mainly coz I'm being suffocated with it:p

ETA: and I just got kicked in the bladder!:D:D:D:D

RLT I just poured the water over it and left it to stew for a few mins:) It tastes a lot nicer if you put sugar in it;) Easier to drink if you add a drop of cold water...I burnt my tongue the other day:o

My friend did this with her DD who had a soft cleft pallate, but she did have a really good breast pump from the hospital which made it easier. I really admired her for it as she had to express and then feed so double the work, and because of the cleft pallate you had to gently squeeze the bottle as the little one struggled to suck properly. :T

cheers for the tip on the sugar! going to give it a go later once i have sorted my clothes out. moving in with my mum for a few weeks after the birth so need to make sure i have clothes etc packed for those first few weeks. im afraid of drinking the tea then going into labour without having everything organsied :rotfl:
