It's january tomorrow.... I want a ba :)
I'm here (when I'm not on the toilet today). Just wanting to rest and put my feet up. I am really ready for this to be over, but we all know babies don't always cooperate!
I am glad to have cooked her to at least 40 weeks, she's not very big.
Bella - oh no on the stretch marks!
Kelly - nice to see you in here. Ah the first tri joys. GL with the m/w hunt. I know it was tricky for me, having a NY EDD, so I do empathise with having to go through that.
Welcome Kelly :hello: it is so totally exciting to plan a HB ismt it? i reckon what makes it totally awesome is that those plans are respected and followed, makes the whole thing much cooler!!!
i have been an emotional chick with both pg in the first tri...usually my first clue that I am pg in fact hahaha. i have no real tips for the MS i'm afraid. i found that it was excacerbated when i was tired and/or a bit hungry.
Tegam: :lol: too funny!
Jen: look at your ticker girl! woo hoo!!!!!!
oh and check out how many girls are having HB on teh list HotI has just written up!! :dance:
Welcome Kelly :)
I have to eat continuously when in eat pregnancy. When I wake at night to wee I eat biscuits. It really helps me. Hugs for the ups and downs.
Welcome Kelly
It's our month!
BA's anyone????
Not me. I think you will have to wait awhile for my BA.
hi lovely ladies - hope you're all coping ok in the heat! Especially those of you waiting on babies!
Welcome Kelly - hope your m/s settles soon and goodluck in the months ahead planning your homebirth!
Not that hot here in Sydney. We're wondering when summer will start. The only baking I'm doing is internally!
I'm still here and not too hot. It has been a mild year on the sunshine coast. I don't think u will get a BA from me for a few more weeks as much as I would like an earlier one. And since dd was 9.2 and I already look like I have swallowed a watermelon, I think this bubba is going to be big and healthy.
Well, I'm in a nicely established early labour pattern and it's definitely regular. I don't think it's going to ease off, but who knows with these things. I woke up from 1.30am with the start but managed to sleep off and on until 6.30am.
Now I'm just sticking around close to home, wearing out the fit ball and relaxing. I wouldn't call these comfortable, but they're def not painful or too intense. Lasting 20-25 secs every five mins or so. M/w says she'll come when they're lasting about 45 secs.
I think this will take the day if it continues, but hopefully I'll be back on the other side of birth!
:happyforyou:
Oh Jennifer! Such a lovely post to read!
Sending you happy birth blessings for today :loveshower:
oh and some time passing techniques that I did with DD2 were some laundry and gardening hahaha...ok, so that is totally boring, but it was the first sunny day in ages :rofl:
Ooooo how exciting!!:
Sending loads of healthy labour vibes!
xx

I will be thinking of you today!
pretty funky birthdate if bub arives today 2.1.12
(i am such a nerd)
Yay Jen! How exciting, look forward to seeing your baby announcement!
Happy Birthing Day Jen :happydance:
I can relate! I am hoping my bub arrives on 1/2/2012, 2/2/2012 or 12/2/2012! I'm putting in a prediction for 12/2/2012.:
I'm so excited for Jen :leap:
Sorry girls, yesterday ended up being a day of early labour and rest. Not all for nothing though, I've woken to lots of mucus at 3am and regular, don't mess with me, contractions. So I've given up on sleeping and I'm passing some time downstairs until they're a bit closer and lasting a bit longer to get my doula and m/w out of bed.
It seems I might have been right about my baby's birthdate for the whole pg. How freaky is that?
hi jen
i've got some tummy tightenings going on so am up eating watermelon. nothing too much just can't sleep so thought i would get up.
mother's intuition on the date?
best wishes today
Hi Jen, I hope all is going smoothly for you this morn.
HotI, I hope you got some relaxing sleep after your watermelon. My tummy was feeling a bit ordinary during the night.
I had an interesting experience with DS2's birth. During preg, I said that I wanted a three hour labour, and I wanted him to be born in March (not Feb, as my DD's b'day is at end of Feb). I ended up going in to labour at midnight on 28 Feb, and DS2 was born at 3.01 am on 1 March! I got my 3 hr labour and my March bub!
Sorry to crash your thread!
Just sending all my very best wishes for a beautiful birth to Jen :)
May strength, calm and love surround you and guide your little one's entrance into this world in equal measure x
(I will continue to stalk!)
Jen: that would be cool! I know that I dreamed of birthing during the day, that was my one big wish and I got it :)
HotI: how are you going? xx hope that you have got some rest, or...are having a baby LOL!
Sounds good Jen! I hope u are having a beautiful birth, or holding your darling baby.
Ohhhh just got my package from blissful herbs! So exciting! Gonna have a proper paw thru now and read everything that came with them whilst I have a pot of tea. I feel like I could go into labour now. I have everything ready really. Not that I am gonna hold my breathe tho. I don't want to be disappointed if I have to wait another few weeks. But at least I can relax now knowing it is all ready and waiting for me. I might get DH to set up the birth pool tonight for me, so that I can have one of the pre birth relaxation baths :). We have pulled our main bathroom out now and I am just waiting until the tradesmen can come and put the new one back in. Luckily our ensuite is 95% finished now and usable for the birth. And so much nicer than before! DH asked me if I deliberately got a shower with a handle on it for labour..... "might have crossed my mind" was the answer he got.
oh Bella that sounds so exciting! i love snail mail packages!!
i also loved once i had everything that i had imagined and wanted in place...such a nice place to be mentally....not long now eeeepp! i am so excited for you!
I have totally lost track of this thread and I feel awful because I am SOOO freaking excited for you all!!! Can't wait to hear about your birth Jen!!!! LOVE that your herbs have arrived and you're so ready Bella. It's going to be beautiful. Thinking of you too Hoti!
Wonderful times in here :loveshower:
Thanks girls!! It is nice to come in here and have everyone get excited for me. I don't tell people IRL what my dates are really, not unless they are special, cos I don't want the whole "when is that baby gonna come" remarks that I got for weeks with DD. So I don't post about my pregnancy at all now on fb. So it is nice to come in here and get fuss :redface:
Also very few of our friends know we are having a HB because of DH's occupation. So it is nice to have somewhere to talk about it. I do quite a few IRL friends I can chat with about it, but I am sorta hibernating a bit atm so not really seeing them.
Anyway it IS getting really close now, and very exciting
Love to you all
Ahhhhhhg talk about speed reading. I can't believe I didn't get in here yesterday and I had to digest all this excitement in one hit! So I think I have it all under control hoti gave birth to a watermelon that she sent snail mail to bella? While Jen bounces on fit balls waking her doula and MW? Ash ash dreams of stalkers??? Right???? Lol
rofl! that's how I read it anyway!:
what an exciting time in this thread! I'm just dying to know how everything with Jen is going!
bella, hoti, so so soon now! and then ash and I! yay!
