I'm good, yes due 4th Feb. Now on leave and start mat leave on 15th Jan. Very much looking forward to the rest! I've had my section confirmed so likely to have her week of 28th Jan, which seems really close now! I get my date confirmed on 13th Jan. I just hope I don't go in to labour early!

I'm heading back to work next Monday for two weeks, but last day will be the 18th Jan which doesn't seem so far away now! We have a small amount of building work starting on the 8th-9th Jan which will leave us with no walls in the hall/stairs/landing, but the aim is to get them back on before baby gets here. I'm sure it'll be fine.... :eek:

Hi everyone! I used to lurk on here an awful lot when I was expecting my daughter, but have been absent for a good year or more. Am currently 37 weeks with number 2, and massively struggling with gluteal/buttock/lower back pain �� Baby is due 18th Jan if I could be added to the list? Anyone else due in January?

Rambosmum

Hello Firebird. I don't think we have a list, though if we did I think you'd be at the top! Next is me and HopHop on 4th Feb and Celepie on 9th I think.

I'm having a c section week of the 28th though, so may just sneak in to January!

NAMES?! I am really struggling. We have such different tastes in names. He hates the ones I love. He doesn't love any but likes a few which I'm quite Meh about it.

Can I ask you guys as you’ll probably know. You know what the internet’s like but I thought I’d ask. I’ve read the health visitor comes out around 28 weeks (so only 4 weeks away), is it true and if so what is it about? Dreading it tbh as I thought they would only come out when lil one arrives

I think it depends on area - I had a friend who had an antenatal visit in the next county, but nothing here. HVs are pretty harmless though, so don't worry about it!

When my HV came to me she wanted to see where baby was going to sleep, just to make sure it was suitable. We have a bedside crib but we don’t have it next to the bed, she just checked it wasn’t near a radiator or anything.
We discussed breastfeeding, said I’d try as I wanted to but if I couldn’t do it I wasn’t going to beat myself up.
She asked how I was feeling.
I can’t really remember what else we discussed, (it was mid October, I probably posted on here about it)
I was nervous about it, but I really didn’t need to be.

Celepie

Ours don’t visit pre-birth so think it just depends!

Ah ok so it depends on the area. I’ll have to ask one of my friends who uses the same surgery if it’s the same, but it’s 5 years since she had hers. Thanks for your help tho

HopHop

Mine is visiting in 2 weeks time which will be 38 weeks. The house is going to be an absolute tip with renovation work so hopefully they can just look past the fact there won't be any walls in some areas
