Helloooooo! Where is everyone?

[Amberdite]

Any news on ODN yet, are you a mummy yet? I am getting excited waiting for any news.

[OffDutyNurse]

Nooooooo...still here Ambers....thanks for asking! Seriously...what are the chances of this little one being early? Today have had really upset tummy, and now have the mother of all backaches! Feels like my spine is splitting in two, and the bottom may just drop out of my world at any moment now!!!

That'll serve me right for living on curry, and whole fresh pineapples, eh?

Saw midwife yesterday. and head is fully engaged, and ready to go. She is to see me again in another 2 weeks, which will make me overdue. I told her I'll have had bubs by then so that appointment won't be necessary Yeah...right!

Emmad...can't believe you're 29 weeks already!!! Where the dickens does time go? Good luck at mw appt tomorrow!

Now....where has that Ziggy gone again? Getting us all excited, and then leaving us with a cliff-hanger!!! Details, girl...details!!!

Much love to you all xxxxxxx

oh ODN- that backache sounds promising... This is so exciting!!!
I can hardly wait to see your post that you've had your little one!!!

[OffDutyNurse]

Backache easier today, but still there. Been going for walks, and have another pineapple to eat tonight...just off to make spicy soup...but baby is happily wriggling around in there! Due date is next Sunday, and too excited now!!! Never been early for anything in my life, so can't imagine for one minute this bubs is going to make an early appearance! Will update you if anything remotely exciting happens! xxx

Cuddles....

[Cheryle]

cuddles back to you!!! Sending you lots of labor dust and wishing you a beautiful delivery!!!

This is so exciting!!! Brings back alot of memories!!

Hiya!

Oh god, I'm sorry for disappearing again - I can only get on this forum when I visit my in-laws, and even then only for a couple of minutes as it's a bit rude to disappear off to use their computer! My work PC blocks websites like these and we've no internet at home. I'm going to need to get it set up though, it's a pain.

Well, I'm 7 weeks now and living on a knife-edge. I have dreams where I have a miscarriage and I'm constantly going to the bathroom to knickers-check. I'll be happier when I've had my first scan - but 12 weeks seems a loooooong way away.

We've bought a flat but we're still going to Australia - in fact, we've engaged a migration agent to take us through the process because it's so difficult and drawn-out - I needed help and I just don't have time to do all the necessary research. Also, it's such a long wait, I'd be gutted if we got rejected because I'd made a mistake in the application.

I had a quick read over your posts and I can't believe there are still so many old "faces" still on here - makes me feel all nostalgic! I feel so much affection for you all! Life is still a rollercoaster ride though, eh?!

Better go and join the family - but I'm seriously gonna get our internet sorted. I miss you guys . . . !

Hey Zig!!! I know, hon....you just feel that it's so precious, and can't believe that it is for real!!! You'll be fine and hope you're feeling disgustingly pregnant (a good sign apparently) I couldn't really relax until I was about 14 weeks, and myclothes started getting tight, and even then I have whittled my way through this pregnancy!

Well, just wanted to let you know that have been contracting since midnight last night, and ended up on the delivery suite this morning. After hours of being in pain, and not a wink of sleep all night, we are only 2cm dilated and it started to all tail off again, so came home about 1pm, and I have now slept, showered, ate, and feel ready to face it all again. Contractions are mild again, and coming about every 5 minutes-ish! Managing fine with TENS machine, and just waiting now for it all to build up again. Come on baby!!!!! Will keep you informed xxxxxx

[Cheryle]

ODN!!!! come on BABY!!!!
This is so exciting!! Sending lots of "come on BABY" dust your way!! Can hardly wait for an update!


Ziggy- I'm so glad you were able to check in again. I KNOW exactly how you feel. I did not relax with Niklas until I felt him enter the birth canal!! At my 20 week appt, I said to the doctor, "so do you think I can start actually believing that this is going to happen?" Hang in there!!

Hi girls

ODN - How exciting, when I went into hossie I was only 3cm, so it gonna happen any day now...I am so excited for you. Cant wait for your BA.

Ziggy, I know how you feel, knickers checking is like an olympic sport...think I checked about 1000 times in the lead up to 12 weeks. Rest assured that once you reach 12 weeks (and you will) you get the bronze medal and start to relax. ODN is going for gold any day now I can't tell you how pleased I am that you are pregnant, I can't believe ODN is about to be a mummy and you are taking over the baton in the baby growing race (ok enough of the olympics now)

Natalie - Have you booked your 3D scan? I cant believe you are now 22 weeks, doesn't it fly by.

I'm exhausted, we moved Alexander to a big boys bed (cotbed) and after 6 weeks he is finally decided he actually wants to sleep rather than play in it. He is talking all the time now girls and he loves to give big wet kisses and cuddles to anyone who asks. Wherever I take him he gets called handsome all the time - can you tell I am a proud mummy (think Cherlye can understand this one hehehe)

[Captain]

Hey girls. I haven't spoken to any of you before but thought I would pop in and say hi

I'm just into week 33 myself and starting to get pretty sick of being pregnant. I remember way back at the beginning it seemed like such a long time but it really has flown by only 7 weeks to go for me.

[natalie80]
