Am I having a monster baby!?!

[NaeNae]

awww Mel I feel your pain!!!
I hate it even more when its 2 am you can hardly keep your eyes open and yet you feel like you need to do the biggest turd ever so you sit and wait, and wait, shift positions, wait some more, rub your belly, start shaking coz your so damn cold then finally give up!!!

I reckon bubs loves her bum being tapped coz when she moves into a position and it feels like she is way up under the ribs and kinda out to one side. So I rub my tum an dlightly pat it she leans out further into my tapping hand :shakeshead:

You know - nobody ever tells you about this stuff do they - well except for the girls in here but IRL noone ever mentions the last few months and all the "little" joys associated with it.

ohhhh try some boiled water (hot) with a squeeze of lemon. I find it helps to soften the stools and rocking a little bit forwards and back and sometimes side to side, on the loo, can help to shift bub and hopefully allow the passage to empty out.

lol then you go back to bed and need to go again.....I know what you mean with the leaning back thing it feels very primitive, leaning back to do a poo like a cavewoman Hopefully its not too long for you to wait.

Im hoping for a small baby, as i havent been that overly big for 30 odd weeks, but now im 38 weeks my mum commented on how i have ballooned in the belly region. Now im worrying lol

My fiance is bred to be a jockey, he weighs no more than 60 kilo. I on the other hand am quiet tall, weigh 86 kilo, and was almost a ten pounder baby.

Im wondering now whether I will have an small, average or large baby? Its really hard to tell. I have only gained about 6 kilo in my pregnancy, so what do you ladies think??

I've always heard its usually a pound or something heavier than the mother at birth (which that could freak you out - so for your sake I hope its not true!!)

But for me - I was 7 pounds, 7 oz at birth, DH was 7 pounds 14 oz, DS was 8 pound 2.5 oz, and DD was 8 pound 11.5 oz. So its pretty accurate in my case.

hmm.. .dunno about that theory.. if that were the case.. each generation would be a pound heavier than the previous one and we'd be having gargantuan babies by now LOL.

bwahaha maybe its a thing from the 1940's cos my mum was around 6 pound, I was 7 and my kids were 8... LOL

Maybe its a weird tasmanian thing.. LOL
