Shell_girl you have a PM.

Congratulations Miss_Money! All your girls are beautiful. Jeez, I can't look at newborns at the moment without sobbing so I'm writing this through a haze of tears

Take it really, really easy and eat lots of red meat, eggs and greens to get your iron count back up x.

You lucky lucky girl!!!

Morning all! Pain free night - Yippeeeeeeee...

So how many of us are on maternity leave now? What we doing today? I wanted to go swimming but sister doesnt want to and I dont wanna go alone So i'm stuck in the house and am going to put some laundry on again and bring in the duvet. I've washed 3 duvets this week LOL.
Need to turn my suitcase upside down and find some more summer clothes that fit!!
Lots of love and kisses too all - would offer hugs too but im a bit sticky :rotfl:

Museumworker welcome to maternity leave....it's great

I have to say I am glad mine will be here soon, I am so uncomfortable in this heat and would hate to have to be prego throughout it. Feeling rather pleased at the thought of lots of walks with baby in the lovely weather (if it lasts of course!). I have no garden (just a small concrete square), but less than 2 mins walk away is this....

I'm a bit like this! I've wanted a baby for sooo long that I find it hard to believe that it's finally happening. And i'm so in love with my bump already. I often talk to her and tell her how I cant wait to meet her ... and then I well up ... here we go again lol ...

Many many congratulations to MissMoney :happyhear - all your girls are beautiful! Pleasesd to hear you had a smooth delivery and are recovering from the hospital bit. Keep posting!

Rebekah - I live in Norfolk on the east coast

Not in a good way today - my hands and feet have become even more swollen and itchy and now my engagement and wedding rings are truly stuck. My mum told me to take them off a couple of weeks ago and I really wished I had of listened. Have become a bit panicy as my finger is throbbing with them on - have tried raising hand, cold water, lotions everything. Have hospital appointment at 12.30 to discuss test results and am really worried now that the rings will have to be cut off

Will sit outside in the sun until then trying to calm down and ignore the pain

Have a good day all

Hands in cold water then Sunflower oil!!

Rebekah my plans for today, as part of the mat leave crew, are sort out 2 boxes on the landing (the last few remnants of junk out of the spare room).

However baby has been unusually quiet this morning, so I'm currently laying on my side eating some ice, going to give it an hour and if I don't get some wriggles, well, you all know where I'll be spending my afternoon

Hope LO starts wriggling around soon turtlemoose

Rebekah, I went swimming on my tod last week and I quiet enjoyed it. I was going to go this week but I spent my money doing things at the beginning of the week. Might go Tuesday after the midwife as the doctor's surgery is on the way.

Hello ladies

Not posted in a while but have been lurking over last few days catching up. Massive congrats to GtotheC, Nutella and Miss Money (the pictures of yours girls are beautiful :T)

Triangle - we seem to have similar pregnancy problems, both have SPD and I've been a stay puft marshmallow woman for weeks and it's no fun is it? I can't stand for more than a few minutes before my feet look like pillows, and not been able to wear my engagement ring for ages (have it on a necklace). I hope you're able to get yours off.

Thank you all for your kind words when I had thrush - Dear Canestan, I love you :iloveyou:

Baby was breech at midwife check this week so I am having a scan and meeting with consultant on Tuesday (I'll be 36+2). Also measuring large for dates so looking like I may be having planned c-section or being induced if either of these doesn't change. Was quite upset at first as I really wanted a natural delivery (optimistically hoping for a quick ish one as second baby) but have accepted there are pros and cons to both.

Hugs to everyone who's having a rough time.

Swelteringly hot here (sea breeze disappeared here entirely) so staying inside with feet up eating medicinal ice cream. Yes, it's medicinal

Ah, naughty baby just wanted to give me a bit of a fright....as soon as I had eaten my second ice pop, it started rolling around. Perhaps baby is just feeling hot and lazy like mummy

Right I've not been out (except to hang washing out! Don't think that counts!) since Wednesday so I'm going to get dressed and have a waddle over to Asda for a cooked chicken, tiger loaf and salad for tonight's dinner, some ice lollies (of course), and hopefully a good womble too

Hope all you poor ladies still at work aren't struggling too much in this heat.

Miss money I keep looking at your lovely photos and I'm rather jealous - I want cuddles with mine

:wave: awww mummy cuddles are the best! litlle madam had me up all night feeding, so i told dan to get some sleep. He took over from me at 5.45am and i slept till 12.. Mabel had lovely sleepy daddy cuddles and is just about to have her bum changed by daddy (i haven't had to change one nappy yet!! Dan has changed them all!)
I cannot tell you how glad I am I had the home birth in the water, and even though it went slightly wrong in the end, i wouldnt have changed anything.
Mabel is perfect, and Dan is besotted! I'm fairly incapacitated and he won't leave me unattended 'cos he's scared something will happen to me!
The Midwives told me when i was asleep in hospital, he was either holding Mabel or stroking my forehead trying to get my heart rate down with love!

I think his major wobble earlier on in the pregnacy was worry and stress. Now Mable is here he is the happiest man alive!

I'm so happy I could cry (and have ) BIG BIG labour vibes to all that need them, and huge hugs to everyone suffering in the heat... I cannot tell you what a difference it makes not having a bump anymore!

heres a big hunt for jamrags after... My midwife sent dan out to get some heavy duty things and the heavy flow tenna lady are ace! they cushion your bits so nicely and you don't feel "wet" soo i recomend the tenna lady pads (they arent maternity ones they are incontinent ones but that makes them more comfy!)

hugs and love to all xxxxx
