hugs littlemissgiggles. xxx i can understand your concern. try some meditation and also like you said, be positive and think of the time you will be home as soon as you are done with your baby.

this stupid new girl at work just scared the hell out of me. we are moving buildings in 2 weeks time so we had a meeting and we were in the lift, she jumped in and scared me. i am so jumpy. sometimes i wonder if that will harm my bubba as my heart starts racing so fast! idiot

Morning all, well afternoon now I guess!

Well I'm 30 weeks today :j sounds very far along :eek: we're hopefully having our 4d scan tonight if bubba behaves himself this time
I'm quite tired today and achy so am gonna chill out with Me Ben and Mr Jerry

Emsbet I know you'll have a fun day out, hope you get your brownies
Ikkle welcome to the third trimester the countdown begins.
SM hope you're feeling better today, glad you got some nighties etc.
Rebekah you sound all organised! I'm hoping for perfection too, but I know m replying on others to do stuff and it's frustrating cos they take too long :-(
Clarissa I think all you can do is to say we just want it to be us there and we'll call you. Maybe she's just worried lots of others will see the baby before her?
My mum lives 300 miles away and is coming in November (baby due September) lol. Unless invited I doubt OH's parents will come to the hospital or indeed to the house until asked over. My sister on the other hand would love to be in the birthing room and I can imagine her marching the corridors until baby arrives. We'd like it to just be us in the room and she understands that. I was her birthing partner for her ds so I think she'd love to return the favour. I'm hoping to get home and a bit settled in before lots of visitors arrive on the doorstep. But i can't see that happening, hoping not to stay in hospital too long, but we'll see.
One thing I've seen happen though, it where mum wants her mum/dad and not the OH's and the OH gets all upset cos he wants his parents to be there too and not be left out.....cue major row.
Robyn you have to tell who you want, I'm sure everyone would love regular updates, but you'll be concentratin on you and baby. My understanding is if people know you're in labour then you will get lots of messages/calls asking for updates! It's your special time, gran has had hers.
Talking to bump I think I talk to him a lot, but sometimes I realise I'm not saying anything out loud. I talk to him in my head. OH is really lovely talking to him, not very indepth conversation tho! The fav question him and my sister is "are you still in there bubba?" Er I don't think he's escaped I might have noticed! OH also likes to blow raspberries lol.
Elj happy due date for tomorrow
Littlemissgiggles I've no past experience to share. I'm also scared that I might end up with a c section. I don't think I've met anyone that has has complications from one, only the normal pain etc after. I think you've just got to tell yourself that as long as baby is here and you are both safe that is the main goal. I know you have your birth plan, but try not to focus on that too much once you're there, prepare to be flexible. I say this but I know what I want and won't be happy if it doesn't go to MY plan. they won't be taking for a c section unless they think it's necessary. Just try and enjoy each moment as it happens. I think SM suggested good things, like music etc. induction can take a while so maybe try take some entertainment books, magazines etc. you might find you're on a ward with some lovely ladies who might be a good distraction. Good luck, and look forward to hearing your baby news
Good luck to those having appointments/scans today.
wow it's taken so long to type my post!
Think it could well be ice cream time now hehe!
hope you all have a good day xx

(((Hugs)))) to you LMG really hope all goes well for you tomorrow, I must admit the idea of a caesarean terrifies me but just as SM said I have spoken to some people who have had them and none of them had any probs even one of my nans friends who had her children 40+ yrs ago said how easy it was and recovery was quick.

LMG - would it help if you explained your concerns straight away as you go in. And tell them you want things explained properly and in detail so you can ask questions. For me it is all about being well informed and my biggest worry about a c-sec is that I have never been in hospital or had an anaesthetic before so want to understand it. I am sure they do all this anyway but sometimes just you saying out loud what you are worried about can help and any decent midwife will be able to support you

RebekahR

Finally ... a referral to a consultant ... hospital want me up there 5pm today for scan and to meet the man who is to decide if he will try and turn this baby or book me in for caesarean section!
