    Just finished putting the last of the shelves up in the kitchen after dusting vacuuming and mopping the entire downstairs and can barely move now....and have all upstairs to do tomorrow still :(

    I keep looking at the hoover but I'm too lazy today :rotfl::rotfl:. Been watching OH digging the garden all day- and my back was aching just watching :o.

    Went for a tour of the labour and delivery wards last night with OH. Its all been recently done so very nice but realisation hit me that I'm going to be in one of those rooms soon-:eek:.
    So not ready yet... need to:
    1. Write a birth plan
    2. Pack my bag
    3. Hoover living room and put new rug down (been waiting for dusty work to finish) before getting fitness/birthing ball pumped up
    4. Complete horrible form for work
    5. Buy some more sheets for moses basket
    6. Do more decluttering of the baby's bedroom to be
    7. Hall, stairs landing still being decorated although definitely getting there. I need to choose and order carpet for stairs and landing
    8. Get OH to put cot together.

    A while ago someone posted their birth plan on this thread- thought I'd saved it somewhere to cut and paste/ amend. Does anyone have one done or a link to the one I've seen before. Don't know where to start :o.
    My ideal birth plan:
    Labour starts on due date, around 8am.
    By early afternoon, contractions are around 4 minutes apart.
    Go to hospital where they find i'm already about 6cm dilated.
    Shortly after arriving, waters break (not in a corridor).
    Bit of gas and air in the pool and an hour later fully dilated.
    Baby pops out without any pain and we're both dried off in time for Neighbours.
    In my dreams....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    I can't help you with the birth plan sorry as I have never had one yet :o. I do like the sound of your ideal one though....except maybe with the months of sleepless nights afterwards an 08:00 start may be a bit early and one final lie in would be good? :D

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
    I'll have to add to the plan that the baby sleeps particularly well at night :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
    Only reason I've said 8am is I'm awake from very early in the morning lately- my hips ache and I get bored of lying there feeling uncomfortable.

    Bright spark here decided seeing as noone else as going to sweep and mop the kitchen I'd do it myself.. so I did... and had to stop 4 times due to my back hurting.. but it is all clean and lovely now... then I cleaned the worksurfaces and units and appliances.. then sanded a wall and repainted it..

    Today I spent an hour wandering round B&Q and my back is deceased... my pelvis hurts and is so crunchy.. my joints feel like they are lined with sandpaper :(

    Letter arrived yesterday asking me to ring and make an appointment with physio.. after I told them to shove their appointment up a random orifice of their choice after they once again hadn't sent in a referral despite me asking them to at my GP's request.

    my umbilical hernia the sonographer decided to create at my 12 week scan is so incredibly sore I could cry...

    I can see this pregnancy being even worse than the last one.. :( .. Part of me really wishes they had agreed to it not getting this far, I am feeling very sore and very sorry for myself.. hopefully I will be a little more positive tomorrow :( Hopefully everyone else is well ???

    Those considering spatone.. ask the doc for a prescription!.. then it is free... it is usually on 3-4-2 at boots anyway.

    Conratulations on finally getting bold Teenie. It seems like a few weeks ago you were hoping people joined to move you up lol.

    It's a nice feeling at the top of the list, I think I'll be there until my due date and go bold, no sign of baby coming yet

    I did have a good sleep and my hips didn't ache at all. That's twice this week, so hopefully it's hormones changing before bubs arrive.

    Fluffysox, I love your birthplan :rotfl: I havnt written anything down yet, they've never looked at the last 2 I've done.

    LOL Nic I know that doesn't seem that long ago!

    Glad to hear you hips are starting to feel better, mine were a bit sore last night but I still got a decent sleep which is good. I keep getting twinges and they were really strong yesterday but I don't think much will happen until I at least get my sweep next week, fingers crossed that helps things along!!

    I can't get anothe MW appointment until the 10th of May, I'll be 12 days over due by then. They don't let you go over 10 days here..I just hope the baby turns up of it's on accord before that.
    I don't fancy a sweep tbh,with DS I was due a sweep on the Monday and was so stressed about it i went into labour on the Sat.
