Azz: No they gave me nothing to stop the contractions as we are now over 37 weeks and with the c/s scheduled on the 12th we are now just waiting to see if things get moving themselves or if I last until the 12th.
Today has been weird, my back is killing me and it feels like the contractions are happening almost constantly but I am now getting tightening around my ribs as well, so it feels like I am in a corset and getting squeezed. At least I am getting sleep which is a bonus but will see what happens the next few nights. I have an appointment with the OB on Tuesday so will see if there is any change to the plans but if I have to suffer pre labour pains for the week I will be utterly shattered as I just can't get comfy at all. Here was me thinking I would be fine up until c/s date and just breeze in have the surgery and then have a healthy bub. It appears my body wants me to suffer some kind of labour anyway and then I have the recovery from surgery as well..ahhhhhh something I was trying to avoid.
Kelly - I hope something happens quickly for you. That is surely against the Geneva Convention to expect someone to put up with labour pains for more than a week!!!
Murph - your Daintree dream sounds lovely. We moved from the bright lights of London to the country in Somerset recently and also turfed the TV. Our loungeroom is so cosy now without that big dominating monster in it! We found we were paying for a TV licence and cable and were just watching the same DIY repeats or crap soaps. The thing that ****ed me off most was paying extra for cable and it all being repeats and the amount of ads on it. We were paying to watch ads!!! We listen to the radio now. Radio plays are quite good and you can move about while listening to them. There are some pretty funny comedy radio shows on here too. So now we are doing a lot more like painting, drawing, knitting, being creative in the kitchen (I am a king jam, pickle and wine maker now!) and can listen to great music or just switch it off and talk!!! I feel like I am living life now rather than just watching other people on the Tv living it!!!
Greenslw- Sorry to hear about life being uncertain at the moment. Just when you need to have some security! I know all I want to concentrate on is growing this baby and having a home to bring it to. Sometimes my DH comes home saying he hates his job and employer and wants to pack up and move to another county. I hate it! Sometimes they just need to vent and men tend to make big announcements out of nowhere as they tend to stew on things and we don't hear about it until they have got really fed up. We women will talk and talk it out so usually there are no surprises in what we feel about things. Hopefully having got it out into the open air your DH can start to talk about it with you and it may not be as drastic as you fear. Fingers crossed!
Smithy - it is great being able to finally shop knowing what colour is ok! We were buying blue anyway as we thought a girl can wear blue but now we know that pink is definitely out!
Azz - pity about the wait. Sounds painful having two kicking! It is bad enoough with one!
Saph - Happy belated birthday! Hope you got tons of presents for you and not for the baby! I always make a point of giving pregnant birthday girls a very girly 'me' present. Too many people buy stuff for the baby and although it is welcome it must be sad not to get any 'special' presents!
BOC - The pregnant dreams are weird aren't they. I keep on dreaming I give birth to a cat! It starts off as a baby but as soon as it is put on my chest it turns into a cat. the breastfeeding a cat dream has to be my weirdest!!!
Everyone else - belly rubs!!! Sorry if I have missed you!
AFM - DH is unable to get to work as his car died. The scrapper man picked it up yesterday. We are in a remote rural area and it seems impossible to find another car. I am supposed to be looking for a car on the net now. DH has banned himself from looking as he bought a car from a car auction last week (he was trying to get one before his car died as he knew it was about to happen) and it died on the way home. The scrapper man wouldn't even give us 50 pounds for it and it is now sitting in our garage, unregistered and dead after using up a lot of our final savings. DH doesn't trust his judgment so seems to think I can do a better job of finding the next car!!! I have no idea! Last thing I want to think about.
Baby is kicking in response to touch and sound now. We play lots of games with my belly now getting him to kick and watching my belly move!!
Hi Girls
Just wanted to say to those girls ready to be delivered in the coming weeks, i had no idea what was going on what i thought was a case of thruch was actually my mucus plug..oops then felt really off on the friday and cancelled my OB appointment and bikini wax. Woke up with a gush on Anzac day 2 weeks before my C/S date and only became concerned as it was a bit bloody. Got to hospital only to be told i needed an emergency caesarian..2 hours later Jacob was in my arms. My only regret was there was no time for mum to be with me or even know!
So be prepared and try to listen to your body!
Oh and KellyD if you planning on a bikini wax, do it ASAP otherwise your in for the worst shave, I dont think it will be long now!
Azz- Your amazing cooking those precious boys, i would have been shattered but with your usual grace you have accepted the hand you are dealt. Goodluck with everything!
I got hungry this morning so had to get up and have something to eat !
Kelly - doesn't sound to me like your going to make it to the 12th!!!!! I agree with Bee - if you are planning on having a bikini wax - do it now!!!! Best of luck xx
Murph / Greenslew - Can i join the very hormonal crying club On Friday i spent the day in and out of bed in tears on min and fine the next. I feel so exhausted and somewhat "over it" not due to anyone thing but just in general i am looking forward to haveing my body back!!
BOC - special K for dinner doesn't sound to me like the perfect pregnancy diet (ha ha) - not that i can talk as i had nutra-grain for lunch yesterday !!!!
Smithy - yay your all booked in
Big hello to Twomums - hope Noah is doing well and you are both getting a little rest.
Hi to Grub - hope your travelling along ok.
Happy Birthday Saph!
Hello and lots of to all - sorry i'm a bit hopeless at personnals but i read and think of you all everyday.xxxx
AFM - Not much to report here - last scan showed the boys were happy twin 1 was 1170g and twin 2 was 1000g - so have both hit the kilo mark now which i must say was a bit of an unexpected relief? I'm growing rapidly and getting very very uncomfortable and tired - winge winge! I have begun to get my hospital bags organised although i'm not getting very far . My blood pressure was all good at last appt so lets hope it stays that way! Next appt and Scan this coming friday when i will be 30weeks - and on the downhill strtch well and truly.
Take care everyone - and rest up
I here you Murph about your body. This last part is so hard. No feeling in my hands, can hardly hold a book to read. I"ve woken up this morning wiht sore, red eyes (???who knows what that is) and feel nauseous and gross. I just want my body back.
On the house front, things are a lot better...not perfect...but heaps better. The nursery is not ready, but there is at least room to set up the cot etc if little man arrives today. The main part of the house (kitchen, hallway. lounge bathroom) are clear. This happened in one day becasue my parents arrived from Melbourne. Hehehe it was very amusing seeing how fast DH could actually MOVE when he knew my parents were popping in for a cup of tea.
I am actually past caring now, but can see the light! It feels great to have some space to move and not trip over things all the time.
Smithy, you are such a love with your neverending encouragement. Hope you are feeling much better too, can't wait for the next installment of your belly pics xx
Neptune, so glad you are happier with things at home, any day now, we are counting down days with you.
Bella, great news re the boys reaching the 1kg mark, big congrats, hope you are taking care, you are 10 weeks ahead of me and already I am feeling it, can't imagine how much more I have to go lol.
Hi Bee, thanks for popping in and for the words of advice
Poppy, GL with your car shopping, I wouldn't know the first place to start either. Hope you can get it sorted soon.
Kelly, GL with your OB appointment tomorrow, I hope all is well, and hope your pains settle down.
Azz, thinking of you in hospital, hope you are not going stir crazy, not long to go now for you, and I think it is great that you can bake for a little longer.
Murph, another late night? Or early morning? There is something about the middle of the night that is so peaceful, and especially so for you in the Daintree! Hope your reflux settles down.
Greenslw, I am feeling the same pains as you, sort of heavy, stretchy, if I walk around to much I feel a bit of downward pressure and my belly feels sore. I kind of want to tense my tummy muscles back in to get some relief but it doesn't quite work. Some people have suggested I look about 26 weeks or so by my size, which is scary, still a long way to go. Hope you are taking care.
Hi Saph, happy belated birthday, hope you had a great day
Hi Dee, not long until your NT scan
Hi BOC, I'm hungry too, allllll the time...
Hi Seph, did you have a good time at the yoga retreat, sounds divine?
Hi everyone else, sorry if I have missed you.
