I did have a long nap yesterday and have managed to get an hour in.

Morocha, dw I had a phase where I wanted to kill someone. Kindly explain to OH that you've turned into a crazy woman and you need him to get his !!!! in gear before you stick a red hot poker up it

Morning ladies

Really good sleep last night, seems to go in cycles now, 2/3 nights of broken sleep, followed by one good night! Oh well, in the next week I won't be sleeping at all at night judging by my NCT friends' babies!

Had a nice day yesterday after all, was good to catch up with a couple of the NCT girls and get some baby cuddles! Less good to hear a horrific birth story, one of the girls had forceps, 2 cuts and a big tear and lost lots of blood. She's very pale and faint feeling still, despite a transfusion and iron tablets for 2 weeks already my other friend had a home birth with just the tens machine, so was quite a contrast!

My aunt came over for dinner, and then DH and I went for a walk for an hour to try and get baby moving. No joy, although I did have regular tightenings at bedtime, nothing developed

I got excited for you Moog when I realised you hadn't done your usual early update. Sorry you've still not had much progress baby must just be too comfy!

morning all. how are you?

gosh some of you are up so early.. i hope i can manage some sleep next week! My LAST day at work today so am excited and yet feels a bit surreal. Then tomorrow, i have 1 month till due date. gosh! it is creeping up fast, assuming that bubs will come on the date

am listening in to a call at work and am not even paying attention. my head is away with the fairies and all i can think of is sleeping and resting. yay!

littlemoog, hope you are ok and good luck to the boldies.

we went for nct class yesterday and i realiased i need to get a breast pump as not thought of that yet as dh said he would also like to feed baby. so anyone know if there are any offers about please?

Me too

I'm still here too- 38+1 but feeling the best I have for about two months :rotfl:. Off to soft play now, then reflexology later. Busy day for me.

Sorry guys I think baby may have turned and engaged properly at last as had lots of shooting pains in the nether regions yesterday, and bump has dropped down a bit. Also getting frequent random Braxtons, and periods of regular strong tightenings, so fingers crossed things will kick off before any interventions are necessary! 40+10 now, so really ready for baby to come!

oooh good luck littlemoog. exciting!

so funny last night at the nct we discussed that who knows who would pop first and who would stay last. i am 3rd in line as 2 women are due on the 21 and 22nd of dec. but who knows hey? i thought of you then littlemoog.

am uncomfy today. want to go home and chill! last day yay!!!:)

LittleMoog

I always thought I might be last out of my group, as I had the last due date, but only by a day! I didn't think I'd be last by 10+ days though, as 5 of us were due in 1 week! All the others went quite close to their dates!

Rups, I'd recommend the Medela Swing it's got great reviews.and two modes so it is not as harsh on the breast as manual ones. Also, they are quite popular, so even after use you could probably sell it at least for half the price. The NCT website and Amazon usually have them on offer every so often.

Morocha, I bet he's tired after the move and the holiday. I still have.unpacked boxes in my wardrobe, and we moved a year ago!!!! In the big scheme of things, it probably does not matter, I assume my flat will be a mess once she arrives! At least the stuff is packed.in boxes and not all over the place? Maybe organize a weekend where each of you do one thing, like you prepare all the babies clothes and he gets the boxes out of the way? Tiding up chores are more welcome in my home when we both have something to do or we can divide the tasks, otherwise I am the "maybe tomorrow" kind of person and DH gets annoyed lol It's always my stuff on the way, maybe that's why I sympathise with your DH lol

I have finished reading the hypnobirth book, now I need to practise the breathing, write my plan and ask them not to talk about pain and listen to the CD. After my rant last week at the antenatal class, yesterday they were constantly adding "and dads too" to all they explained, lol.

I cannot believe it's just about 2 weeks up to EDD. I need to sort out so much stuff!!! All baby stuff is still in boxes, my hospital bag is only half done... I was thinking of buying a bath robe for when I get out of the water, or just to use at home if there's no waterbirth fir me!!

I thought it would be nice to share a pic with you all.. I am 30 weeks today:j, next week i will be talking in single figures, cant wait !
