Yay, I'm 37 weeks today, so full term and bubs can come any time he wants - preferably early, maybe next week?!

I couldn't raise my foot off the floor! I would lift my toes and slide pants to halfway up my foot.. then lower my toes and raise my heel to get them to my ankle.. then i'd have to sit up straight for 5 minutes until the pain in my pelvis and hips stopped making me cry then I could do the other foot and I'd pull the pants to over my knees. I then had to grab the side of the cot which is at my side of the bed and pull myself to standing without letting the pants fall and I could pull them up..

Taking them off was almost as bad.. trousers were easier to get off as once they were past the bump they fell to the floor and a couple of minutes shuffling I could get my feet out of them.

My size 4 feet were so swollen I wore size 6 shoes.

It isn't going to be good this time either.. I have been so crunchy today.. I'm sure I should have heard from physio by now mw said 4-6 weeks and it has been 4 weeks so far.. another 2 I might be desperate.

Sounds awful I really don't know how you have put yourself through more pregnancies if you get it this bad. My pain is bad enough and it takes me about 10 minutes to get socks on, but I don't think I'll be having anymore kids after this one.

Morning all,

Seem to be managing to sleep slightly longer now, till 9 am ish woo lol. Last chance i will get so may as well make most of it.

Nic- good luck with appointment today, hope baby is in the right position!

Digital- yay for 37 weeks, is a nice feeling to get there. You can join the waiting club with us now hehe.

Morning ladies

Ema hope you and the rest of the boldies don't have to wait too long until you meet your babies!!

Nic that sounds horrible! Was bubs already head down? (sorry can't remember if he/she was or not!). If you think your bump looks smaller, hopefully that is a good sign of engagment?

Oh dear me have started the day with lots of BH's, so uncomfortable! I am actually starting to get a bit concerned about the size of my bump, all of a sudden it has REALLY grown I know I'm not going to get a small baby this time again, but am getting worried about what size it is actually going to be! My mind was put at ease with my last growth scan but when I see my bump and can feel the lack of room bubs has to move, it is concerning me.

Digital :j for being full term!

Apricot

Morning Lovelies!

Digital yay for 37 weeks!

Nic - sounds very strange!

A bit annoyed today as I won a bundle of next sleepsuits on Ebay for £2 so bargain but seller has requested a mutual cancellation this morning! I never get any blooming luck! Just wish people would put a higher starting price if they are not willing to let things go for the price they reach!

Yeah Teenie he was head down but diagonal, so hopefully that was just him getting into the right position.

Apricot,i didn't know they could request that. I'd say no. eBay is meant to be for getting bargains,that's their problem and they should honour it.
I've had to let things sell for less than I hoped for, but I always honour it. Can you report them ?

I said no and paid but they've refunded me. It means they will still have to pay fees to Ebay whereas if I agreed they wouldn't have to pay their fees. I wasn't even that bothered about winning it so I only put a small bid on but I won fair and square so they should honour it!

That is so annoying about ebay Apricot!

I am just watching this morning and Holly Willoughby isn't on as she may be in labour! Not fair, she isn't due till May lol.

I aws lucky it was August so I didn't have to do socks She also arrived a 37 weeks

I never have been that bad before and this one was bit of a surprise so not intentionally putting mysef through it again.. we were going to have another 'in the future'.. don't have to do that now.. so in a way it is a bonus. I had a few twinges and niggles with DD3 and was a bit more painful with DD5 but I actually did want to die with Squeak.. lol..

Compared to the kidney failure.. the SPD didn't hurt at all!!!!!!! and the liver not working properly wasn't very pleasant either.

Lirin

Well- area manager in today to see me. They pretty much did have to dust off the maternity policy- and hadn't a clue what some of it meant (worded very strange in places...)

So have to wait for them to get back to me on that- only thing they could tell me was I'd come back into the same job, and a phased return/ part time/ full time- all are possible and they're willing to help.

I have just switched it on - is that why she isn't there? Have they said she may be in labour?? Oh so not fair to queue jump that much!!!! No, seriously, I hope all is well.
