Oh Hey Fuzzipeg, I'm finally not last on the list any more. On EDD at least, sounds like you'll be holding your little one rather sooner in reality

Yup, anywhere from 21st June as far as we know at the moment. Toddler is none too enthralled by the idea though. Think he's still hoping for a baby "dagin" so fear disappointment will follow...

Yay thanks for the list reposts ladies! I struggled to concentrate this afternoon; reckon it's been a long week!! Left a little early and planning a nap when I get home...

Various aches and pains today as well; feel like relaxin hormone is ramping up and I'm becoming very hypermobile!! Great news for birth but not so super for getting through the next month...

Ah baby boom indeed. Anything happening with you Penguin?.

Nope! But scan this afternoon confirmed baby remains head down so that's good. We've been to the pub this evening with the other nct couples and their gorgeous babies, so hoping that kicks off the oxytocin. Did feel weird being the only baby free ones whilst they discussed how little sleep they are having- although mine still feels non existent so not too worried about it! And I had a few sips of prosecco and let OH have a pint as I don't think we'll be back at the hospital tonight. Still having odd bits of cramp, but it never comes to anything. He'll come when he's ready (or evicted)

Hope everyone has a nice weekend planned

Please post your birth stories here when you have time/energy

Been meaning to add myself for a while, though I've done nothing but lurk for ages!

Did a hypnobirthing class last weekend so am feeling very relaxed - too laid back maybe as there's still a lot to sort.

Hope you're ok on your due date Penguin!

Welcome fuzzipeg and Ratison hope 3rd trimester treats you well

arbrighton

Antenatal class done. Slight issue with change of location and people waiting at the outside door so missing being collected from the inside door. It was PACKED and even more couples than anticipated it seems so they didn't have a big enough room and it was way too hot- I actually went a bit faint at one point. Feel more confident about labour/ birth now and have a list of shopping bits, including a small bag of things for OH at hospital, especially as dads are allowed to stay overnight at ours generally.
Bit of a chat on the way back in the car about yes, maybe a cleaner is a good idea, if I can get us tidy in the first place, rather than continuing to beat myself up as I can't do what I think I should even before I got pregnant etcetc and yes, OH should really get the part time working request done etcetc

newthrift

Penguin I'm keeping my fingers crossed that baby realises its eviction time asap for you

Been a slightly tough weekend as DH abroad on a stag do, gets back tomorrow though. Been wondering round doing bits of cleaning and tidying (actually think nesting has set in) a bit at a time.
Hope everyone else is doing ok. I've been reading but just seem to be lacking in energy at the mo.

No sign of baby yet. Just been on a walk to encourage some gravity!

Arbrighton- glad your antenatal class was useful

Newthrift- sounds like your body is telling you to rest up

Hopefully the walk will help Penguin.

Newthrift sounds like you need a break, take it easy.

Ratison I've read a fair bit on Hypnobirthing so I'm hoping it comes in useful when the time comes.

Feeling a bit bleugh, a bit emotional. Had some really sore cramping last night and loads of pressure, between the front and the back. Woke up feeling a bit better and was glad for the sleep. Not quite sure if I've had my 'show' or not, I have read that sometimes it can come in small bits but over a few days. Another one of our NCT group had her baby today. On her due date none the less leaves one person over due before the next baby is due.

Walk with OH, my parents and dogs this morning then out for Lunch. Now feet up on sofa as I had a terrible night so feeling shattered. The restless legs were back with a vengeance- am wondering if they behaved earlier in the week as I had a few helpings of electrolyte drink from samples we had lying around. Run out of the freebies now though Got some ordered which I hope will come tomorrow to test out the theory that they help
