I've seen a lovely snowsuit in Tesco, it's dark brown and furry with bear ears on the hood, don't know if I can resist it for long and I think it's only about £12

Well girls on a different subject I booked myself in for a brazillian bikini wax today and Oh my goodness I wasn't prepared for whats left or should I say whats not left! It was quite uncomfortable but not too bad, but now I'm thinking hey maybe thats not enough hair left, ooops! Obviously I want to maintain it to a degree but if I went into labour now I would be embarrassed! Anyone else have theirs done to this degree and not bothered about what mw's/dr's might think, I suppose they see all sorts!

Hallo,
I have, for the past few years, had the lot removed:eek: (hollywood) and OH loved it but had it done last week at 14 weeks and oh my goodness!! It was soo painful!!! I thought I had a high pain threshold as it never really bothered me before but thinking twice now!!! :eek:
I suspect I may use the electric razor for a bit and get it done again close to my EDD and try to maintain from then on. I don't think I really will care what they will think when I am giving birth. Suspect I will be more worrried if I "leak" from the wrong bits!!!!! :rotfl:

Grateful, fantastic to see you over here, glad it all went well!!!!:D

oo don't DD1 and DD2 had pink fluffy rabbit suits. One of the asda ones is a beige colour with like an brown cow print. It's cute and only £6 but not that thick. I think it would be nice and usable if you are going from car to house and house to car but not for anything else.

hi all - update from me

Phoned again as they had asked at about 10.45 and they said to go in to be checked, esp as baby had been quiet. Lost track of time a bit to be honest so not sure what time we were seen, but was probably about an hour in all with midwife. She did a trace and baby's heartbeat is fine (around 150-60 which it usually is, I've been worried that's on the high side but no one has said so), I am getting definite regular tightenings. She wanted to check internally as my pad was pretty dry when I got there, but when she kept making me cough there is a def leak of waters. TBH I am wondering if they've been leaking for a while as I've been very wet this week, but something defintely went tonight and there was a slight gush! Head is 2/5 engaged according to mw.

Have to go back either when ctx are 3 every 10 mins (but stronger than I am having now) or at 8pm tomorrow which will be 24 hours after they went.

DH not very happy, I am really sad as although he came with me, I didn't think he was going to for a while even, and he thinks it was all a waste of time and was only to reassure me. He keeps saying how inconvenient the timing is and how he is stressed out etc and how much he was looking forward to going out tomorrow eve. I told him just to go if he feels it's that important! This tends to be how he reacts in situations he's unsure of but of course I end up being so conscious of how he is it stresses me out more. To be honest I hope nothing happens overnight and he goes to work, I can deal with whatever comes tomorrow and will get him to come when things are getting somewhere. Just makes me sad as i seem to be last priority. I know mainly it's just how he deals with things, and I know things are stressful at work, he has 2 v important meetings tomorrow and then his boss is away for a week or two so he does really need to have them.

I guess I should go to bed but I'm hungry and a bit wired! But I know I should get my sleep. I am assuming if the ctx are powerful they will wake me up.

rach - have been thinking of you all night.

I'm sorry DH isnt being as supportive as he could be

You are right about the contractions, if its time they WILL wake you, get your cereal and go get some rest.

We are here to rant / talk to if you need us. (Or PM me on FB if you need to)

Big hugs :grouphug:

Thanks tigtag, I know (she says hopefully) that he will come good in the end. i just wish he would realise this is an important time and it's not all about him. It's almost as if he thinks I've done it now to spite him or something!

I am hungry and tired now so going to have a yoghurt (can't stomach cereal tonight) and then take a paracetomol and hope I can sleep. It could be a long job I fear...I know they won't let me go too long once in active labour but I don't think this bit counts.

MW said to phone ante natal in the morning as consultant has a clinic and explain what has happened, see if he wants to see me, or make a plan.

quite surprised by how regular these pains are already and how uncomfortable!

Aww Rach, Men can be right muppets sometimes. I think they are born with a selfish gene. Now you grab something to eat and some kip. the CX will wake you if they get strong. a HB of 150-160 is pretty typical TBH.

thanks Lilac, I know it's mainly that he hates hospitals and hates being in situations he's unsure of but it's still hurtful i guess. Anyway, no point dwelling on it, told him to come and see me before he goes to work at 8 but he said he doesn't want to wake me as I need my rest. I'll probably leave my door open though so the chances are i'll hear him. I'm hoping he can go in and have his 2 meetings then come home. I know he's disappointed as he had opera ticket for a world premier tomorrow eve but the other day when we joked the baby might come he just said 'that's life!'. He does have friday as a day off anyway so it would all work out quite well overall if goes well tomorrow. Hopefully he'll be better after some sleep...he is a good man really. I'm just not emotionally strong enough for the whole 'you wanted the baby' thing again, I want to save my energy for getting the baby out!!!
