OMG BZ, it's nearly your due date, I can't express my excitement for you

Birdie85

Glad you got the Lamaze stuff sorted BZ! Annoyingly, we already bought that set months ago! It's very cute!

Glad to hear that I'm not the only one not doing everything you're 'supposed' to do in the run up to the birth and missing the ante natal classes... I just keep thinking that it's all not really my cup of tea IYKWIM? I'd like to be the super organised, super involved type, but I'm not. I don't want to mess with my anxiety which has just about been simmering away at an OK level throughout... I keep wondering if maybe adding more knowledge/pressure will just tip me over the edge? Meh, I dunno...

Hugs for the health visitor coming today Samtoby. I'm always so disappointed by the lack of communication when people suffer a loss.

Was just tensing my tummy muscles (for no particular reason, just having a wriggle) and baby really did NOT like it, got a massive kick in the ribs! :rotfl: Won't be doing it again!

Turns out I just needed to be more patient They sent me the email with the code today, so I've just ordered it


Boots I would do sooner than later, as paper vouchers are what you need for the changing bag etc, and I used some of the other vouchers to get (for eg) my travel system much cheaper. The paper vouchers took a while to come through (weeks) and the 10 points per £1 have really stacked up for a nice little bonus to buy other bits with too.

I don't remember the Emma's diary thing being much cop for freebies or anything? But maybe I didn't fill out/send off whatever was necessary? The Bounty pack had more useful things in (trial size samples perfect for nappy bag and the hooded towels) IMO.


I forgot to say before, we did a bit of a home bump shoot on the weekend, playing around with DH and a few ideas I'd seen on google images. I'm so glad we did, some of them are really nice It's another thing I wasn't too fussed about til it was done!

Thanks will see if I can do the Boots thing tomorrow then.

The Emmas diary I didnt even know about until someone posted a photo of what they got (similar looking to a bounty pack) on b&b and they had all these free samples of johnsons baby stuff, it looked pretty good, you can go on the website and down load the coupon. Which Ive done just havent got round to printing it and taking it to whereever it needs to be taken to!

Does anybody get this weird thing, where the baby must have moved in a certain way and you suddenly feel rather breathless and tired? Like it comes over all of a sudden. Its like the baby is doing it, its really hard to explain but it just did it again then! It almost feels like something is pushing and I cant get my breathe for a second?!

Kerri - the nursery looks lovely. I'm jealous and can't wait to get our house in order to create a nursery. We covered natural methods of inducing labour in our NCT class today. As well as pineapple, papaya, kiwi and mango , there was reflexology, massage and aromatherapy (all by professionals only); sex, orgasms and nipple stimulation. Being relaxed was also said to be important so hypnotherapy and meditation were also included.

Omg, I am so scared that DH will crack embarrassing jokes at this section & everyone else will be straight laced! When he gets nervous in social situations he acts like an idiot!

Mrs Bunny - yes my DH does, hes odd like that :rotfl:

I've just been staring at my belly button - as you do - and it's freaked me out how weird it's gone! It used to be all neat and small and now it's gone like a massive crater like the Grand Canyon!! Not sure why I'm only just noticing it now!!

Oh and saying my boobs were the same size as before... Maybe not. I just noticed that I'm spilling out of my cups! Just because my old bras are comfy doesn't necessarily mean they fit!!! Hmmm dread to think what manhoosive size I am now!!!

We have a breast feeding one on Wednesday and I don't want to go either but I know nothing about bf so think I should go! Just had a thought, we are going straight from work, it finishes at 9pm, takes 45 mins to get home.....gonna have to pack an extra pack lunch for me to eat on route otherwise I will be feeling rather faint as my lunch hour is 12-1 this week, might take a flask to work and make up some soup before I leave. (Always thinking about food at the mo)

Good Evening Ladies,

Samtoby - Hugs for the insensitive health visitor

Thanks for the reassurance re. breast feeding ladies. I really want to give it my best shot and wasn't expecting to get this far along and have absolutely no signs or changes.

BZ- That was a mammoth post. I can never remember everything I want to say to people:o The diabetic clinic went well. He basically doesn't need to see me again as I am so close to induction/due date and the medication is doing a good job of keeping down the blood glucose numbers.

I know I don't have to have to the sweep and to be honest I really don't know what to do about it next week. I'm going to see what the growth scan and the consultant say first before I decide.

Does everyone get home visits from the health visitor? I haven't had one and don't know of any booked. I would be mortified if she just showed up unannounced:eek:

claire16c

Sorry to hear about your visitor Sam talk about bad communication.

I am always getting asked 'is this the first baby?' I never know what to say. Sometimes I say yes as not in the mood to discuss it and other times if it's been in a situation where having had a miscarriage could be relevant I'm like well first baby second pregnancy, and then I get anxious saying that as the baby isn't here yet!
