Gems - Huge Labour Vibes Hope you make it into the hospital today

I had a tens machine when I was induced for DD it helped a lot as all the pain was in my back like period pain.

QUESTION -

To all the ladies past & present that have have a sun roof -

Are they really that bad???? How do you feel ? Would you out of choice have one????

So many questions going on in my head to sort out before I see my consultant........

My Physio thinks that my SPD & having a epidural will not be a good idea as I may do more damage as I won't be able to feel the pain of my pelvis.......MY MW suggested induction @ 37 weeks so that baby is smaller........Or just to ask for a Sun roof from the outset......

(An epidural is my only pain relieft option )

Any help or advice would be great. Thanks

That pram does not fold tiny at all! had to take the parcel shelf out of my mums fiesta and a wheel to fit the powertrack in, they are the same size.

Fitting the pram in the boot was a big issue with us as we have a Ford Puma so the Babystyle Oyster was perfect - it packs down very small and the wheels even pop on and off to create more space.

I had to go for scan to see if this naughty baby is still breech and its not - hoorah :T Not breech or back to back anymore - whoo hoo. Lovely news for you.:T
Oh and Bizzy babies called today to offer me a tens machine to try - anyone got any experience of them??? Mine is arriving on the 9th (the "Elle") so will compare notes later:D

Can't see But I'm sure you're right:D

Legs how did you get on with the Oyster?? You loving it???

As for me....my ebay Kooshies cames yesterday and I have to say..I'm impressed...even DH is gonna have a go with the AIOs:T:T Can easily see me becoming a nappy addict:o:)
Woke up this am and feel as though my hips are about to either fall off or collapse from under me...which is really annoying lol

Plymouth I know how you feel.....feel as though I've just blinked and we're almost 37weeks:eek: Tres scary:D

right best go do some work seeing as there's only 2 of us in the office today:) appropriate vibes to all in need x

Morning all

Gems I hope it's all going on for you now, it must be awful waiting about

Told yesterday I cannot have my waterbirth..............and that I need to be monitored closely, therefore will pretty much be bed bound...... I had visions of water and space hoppers at the very least :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

so feeling really flat about the birth.....wondering if I should just get an epidural banged in.........I wanted to do it without, but I have been told my mobility is going to be severely restricted, so I can't see me doing it au naturel

My mum and doula are coming over this morning to talk it through with me, as I am running out of time, and now need to scrap the birth plan :eek:

Additionally, I have been told my chances of needing another c/s are increased, so all in all not really looking forward to the next few weeks

Can't comment about the pushchair but I don't think you can far wrong with any of the silvercross range

Cheers Fuzz, there's something about Silver Cross that just says traditional baby pram to me. I was in one of those massive navy blue ones when I was a baby. Wish my mum had kept it though now.

Welcome Bella

Good luck today Gems

Mmmm, kinda! Well, I walked up and down the living room with it but was too chicken to fold it properly and change carrycot for seat unit and stuff!:o but OH was playing with it and loved the mechanisms etc It's lovely in claret too...so can spill red wine on it

As for me....my ebay Kooshies cames yesterday - ooh, exciting Do you recommend for newborns? and I have to say..I'm impressed...even DH is gonna have a go with the AIOs:T:T Can easily see me becoming a nappy addict:o:)
I've got 8 different nappies already with 2 more types on the way and not even had baby yet:rotfl: (Got cheque from council incentive scheme for £50 so not spent much) I'll be addicted too:p

Bella Hi and welcome:T Time is weird on here - it seems like you are pregnant forever and then suddenly you are in 3rd trimester and wondering where the time went:eek::p

Yeah if you've got a chunky newborn they'll be fab but if you've got a long skinny one probs not so good as I don't think they'll go small enough...I'm expecting a long one I think:o But I'll soon fatten it up:p:D Plus we're using disposables til we've got used to actually having a baby:D
I'm trying to up my collection to get to £50 so I can get the £25 cashbakc but it's proving difficult:o I'm upto £37 and if I buy anymore nappies I think DH will lose it:rotfl: Think I'm gonna wait til bubs is here now and see how we get on with them:)
