Thank you ladies I am feeling better now, was just having one of those days. My mum lives in another state and in away I do miss having her around and being able to share this pregnancy with her. With my DS I saw her everyday. I do have a wonderful mother in law and I do share lots with her which really is a added bonus.



Ooby - Hope your feeling better, and you have a clear picture as to what your going to do at your birth. I did stick my head in the other thread...wow. Thats about all I can say. Its such a spiecal time for you and your partner and I understand how you feel.


Angelina Ballerina - Thanks for the link, I have been thinking about it!

biene_maja - OUCH OUCH OUCHY You poor thing.

AFM: I just want it to be september already! I'm so ready to meet this little bub, even tho I still have cot, change table etc on layby. You know what I would just be happy if it was August! Settlement on the house is aug 12th and Im looking forward to that too!!

Hi ladies,

Ooby - Just wanted to check if you're ok. Sometimes threads go a bit in the wrong direction. The other posters just don't know the full story.

Ooby - I also hope you are ok. Sometimes this place can make you feel worse even though all you are really after is a place to vent and some understanding.

thank you - I'm ok now, although I was quite upset on Sunday night when I saw what had happened on the thread since Saturday afternoon!!! Probably didn't help that I was (and still am) on my own in a hotel room in Canberra (another week long residential course thing) and felt like I was being pounded left, right, up, down by these people. I couldn't believe it!!

Took me until yesterday to write individual thank you notes to those few who came to my defence.... amazing. There should be a feature on EB where you can hide posts from someone you don't want to read!!!

I am definitely planning to speak to mum. I'll try the honesty tactic first and then, if she goes crazy, I'll resort to enlisting the help of the midwives etc!

I hope everyone's doing ok and riding out these last months as best as we can! I cannot get over how tired I am - to the point of physical exhaustion. But I guess this is the beginning of the rest of my life like this

Everyone take care - and give your little ones a poke for fun!

I think my nesting instinct might have hit.
I don't know if it's a typical sort of nesting instinct though.
I have a really strong urge to de-clutter, throw things out and get organised.
So far I've organised and cleaned out the bookshelves in the study and my wardrobe.
Unfortunately DH's natural tendency is to be a bit of a hoarder so he is resisting my attempts.
I've pre-warned him that I want to do a trip to the tip on the weekend and throw out at least one car load of junk. We just have way too much stuff taking up space and it's driving me nutty.

Anyone else having any weird urges?

Hi ladies!


Ooby - I just read some of the other thread, it made me want to get on there and give a few people a mouthful! Just stick with us ladies here! We are a lovely bunch and will give you all the support you need!

AB - No strange urges although I am always a clean freak! ha ha. I find I am cooking alot ore, I have 'masterchef' saturdays but I'm not sure whether thats because I am nesting or I have been watching too much masterchef... quite possibly a combination of both! Although my sister freaked me out the other day and said a girl at her work had her bubba 5 weeks early which if that happened to us would only be 7 weeks away and perhaps I should get organised and clean up the nursery, set up the furniture etc!!! aaaaahhhh!



AFM - lots of bubba kicks! No GD (as reported on facebook!) which was great and awesome Vit D and Iron levels (all of my love of being in the outdoors and eating steak ha ha!). I have been getting really bad heartburn but just keep the mylanta close by. Off on maternity leave in 10 weeks time... counting down the weeks now for that to be over! The next 10 weeks will be crazy too I am not looking forward to it. I have a conference next week and have already advised my boss that I probably won't be at every dinner as I'm sure the days themselves will make me just want to curl up in my hotel room by about 7pm!

Hope you are all going well ladies and bubs are becoming strong kung fu fighters in your tummies!

AB I can't say I've had any weird urges, certainly not nesting lol. Though I never really got the nesting bug with DS.

I got my GD results back today and I scored 6.6 which was pretty good . Also my OB said my haemoglobin levels resembled that of a non pregnant person, so he commented that I must have been eating very healthily...hmmm if only!!

Bubs is sitting Right Occiput Posterior which is exactly how DS stayed until near the end of labour. Hopefully it moves into a better position because my last labour as hell (though DS also had his head tilted right back for most of the labour so that didn't help either). I'm already dreading labour, I just have a feeling it's going to be just as tough as last time...

Hi girls.

Just a quick one from me.

In an hour I will be 27 weeks! Yay I have a feeling that Charley may have turned to head down over the last week but am not sure, I have been getting lots of very high movements from him and also (tmi alert) my toileting has changed like I am seriously going to the toilet a lot more if I drink I need to go to the toilet once or twice half an hour later, it's like there is something different pushing on my bladder ie a head etc. I guess I will just have to wait til my next Antenatel appointment to find out.

Pram is still on lay by with lots of payments left to pay, and Cot still not put together but hopefully soon all will be done

I'm already dreading labour, I just have a feeling it's going to be just as tough as last time...

Even though I had a terrible time birthing DS I'm freakishly looking forward to labour.
I seriously can't understand why I feel this way.
During labour with DS and for many months afterwards I swore I would never put myself through anything so horrible and barbaric again and would have a planned C-section next time.
My mind set seems to have shifted over the last few months. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones or some strange primitive survival instinct, but I am looking forward to the challenge of a drug free birth.
My logical brain can make no sense of why I feel this way and neither can DH (considering he's listened to all of my past rantings about birth).
