Pregnancy and Slimming World

Any more baby news yet!? Just over 5 weeks left for me & I really can't wait to see my little bundle now- cant wait for that first cuddle & to c those big feet that've been kicking me so hard recently!

Found things more tough recently Trying to hold it together- lost wee daddy on 10th march -he idolised kids & lost my mummy in feb 10 (who was a midwife)- cant help but think what a kick it's gonna be not being able to pick up the phone and tell them the news once bump arrives- and don't like saying to others in family etc coz I know they know how I'll be feeling but wanna try & appear as strong as I can r something like that!

This pregnancy has helped spur me on through things and just scared Its gonna all hit me when bump arrives!

We'll c how things turn out- maybe wont have time 2 think about too much - bump might make sure of that lol

Anyway, meant to say during week mothercare have great offers on- hopefully still on-

Braun ear thermometer (their best one)
Bebe au lait breast feeding shawl
3 boxes of 88 size 2 pampers nappies
Swaddle blanket

I couldn't bear the thought of not having my parents around to meet my children, it's part of the reason I wanted my first two so close. I'm sorry that you'll not be able to spare the special moments in person but I 100% believe they'll be with you every step of the way, they'd be so proud of you, who wouldn't.
Sometimes it's easier to talk to 'strangers' aswell, you know us ladies are here if you need to talk xx

VM - i really feel for you. It must be awful to go through this without your parents. I am sure they will be there for you in spirit though - your parents influence you and the way you are and instinctively you will do the same to your child. Despite my dad dying so long ago i see him in my daughter. I think with your mum being a midwife you will unconsciously know stuff and apply it to your life.

The day my dad died, there was an unbelievable set of circumstances to lead me being in the car with him when he died (i was the only one of his 5 kids with him) when actually i should have been over 3 hours away starting my 2nd year of uni a couple of days previously as i had planned to go 2 days previous. There was about 6 different things that would never normally happen that happened on that day, and my decision around them meant i was with him, as was his girlfriend at the point he died (he died of a heart attack). From that point forward I have always known there is something influencing life and death. Also following his death, twice something happened (both to my mum) where she knew he was there and both times were to do with her car. One of them she was driving (speeding) on the A1 on a Sunday in the hope to get back to get to the shop. Her hazard lights came on the car by themselves and she knew it was a warning. She slowed down, saying "ok Graham, I've slowed down" - she said she knew it was him. If she hadnt she would have crashed as what she wasnt aware of was the road had changed and there was now a roundabout there, she was far too fast for it.

I know not everyone believes in that kind of thing, and i definitely didnt but because circumstances affected me and my family i definitely do believe.

I thought you were quiet yesterday, I assumed you were off having the baby. I am not sure the comfort eating is the right way, you need pineapple and curry - mind i tried both last night and neither did anything haha. i didnt even go to the loo when i could definitely have done with it. Took some lactulose this morning though and that helped. I feel like i have twinges all day today and baby quieter than normal (still moving though) so hopefully a sign, but think this might be the 5th time i thought "it could be today" - out of 7 or 8 days haha. I just wish he would hurry up as i am getting impatient! How late are you now?

Aww bless, i read what i wrote on facebook when i was 6 days late with my daughter! I went into labour that night:

"is feeling fed up and annoyed after the midwife appointment.... and isnt updating her status any more because there is no news and probs isnt going to be for another week."

and then in the comments I wrote....
"its the midwife thats got 2me. They werent able 2do a sweep, she tried but it wouldnt work. Dont know why but not convinced abt the midwife. She's lovely, really nice but just dont seen that good @midwifery! The other week she was poking me & said 'is that your pelvis'! How am i supposed 2know! i've tried curry, pineapple, sex, raspberry leaf &walking. My theory on curry is if you're not used 2hot food it might help so you might be ok if u go 4a proper curry. I'm booked in 4my induction now, on tues 2nd at 4.30, they expect drugs 2work over night &have baby on wednesday! So we'll see, its only a week 2wait i guess".​
 
Well ladies, I went into labour last night. Wasn't sure if it was just twinges. About 2.30 I said to my husband I thought we better get ready to go.

By time I called hospital, called my friend, dropped Amy off and went up hospital it was 4am. I was 5cm dilated when they checked me and I moved to delivery suite. An hour later at 5.21am on 2ns July Daniel James was born. All he done so far is sleep.

Fantastic news congratulations
 
Boo I told you id be last, only kidding congratulations.
I'm still here I'm afraid, so uncomfortable now :(
 
Congratulations Geordie lass he is a handsome little fella :D

Sounds like a dream delivery (if there is such a thing) Hope you're feeling OK and enjoying your new little man xx
 
Thanks everyone, I was 2 days early (i expected to be late as my first was 7 days late). He was 8lb 9oz so new born stuff from next don't for, the up to a month stirring does.

Am ok but exhausted. Esp now as been awake with him since 1am. He obv has his night and day mixed up.

It won't be mush longer mummy Clark.

Someone asked other week abt TENS - I def recommend if ur trying not to have an epidural. It was a godsend!
 
I wish I was able to go without an epidural, it was past 36 hours with painful contractions I was he agony, hadn't slept for nearly 40 hours :(

Well done though, glad he came early for you. Did you get home yesterday? I'm not surprised your knackered Naomi still has her days n nights mixed up a bit, she slept 1-4.30 last night. Now is awake and prob will go back off just before I have to get up anyway. He'll soon sort himself out x
 
Thanks Oasis, its hard with the lack of sleep so I don't know how u did it for 40 hours.

He has only slept 30 mins since my last post. Feeding is going ok as well.

Food at hospital.is rubbish! It was so.nice when I had Amy.
