Guess what we are growing......

[squashysu]

a bit tired but not as much as I was, things are starting to be too small, my maternity stuff is too big so I look like a tramp, no difference there then.
my boobs now need full on scafolding, I hope they dont grow anymore or I will need a trolly for them.

other than all that Im fine.

you wait until the boobyfairy comes once you have given birth, i went into a GG at that stage LOL!!

Bless you will feel better soon, without the tiredness, i found about 18/20 weeks i started to perk up a bit! mind you at 18 weeks i looked full term with the twins and everyone in tesco gave me a wide berth, thinking OMG she is gonna have that baby ha ha !! i really cant work out how stretchy our skin goes lol !

Huge congrats Yo & Bob - I missed your news yesterday in my very quick scan of the boards. Hope you start to feel better soon (I had chronic ickyness but only threw up once, and strangely, that made me feel loads better!!).

Hope the midwife sees your committment to getting the house finished on time (I am working on OH for if we ever have another to have it at home).

Mind yourselves and enjoy the next few months!!

[yoanbob]

well she didnt fall of her chair, she said she couldnt see why not and she loves home births, shes not my normal midwife though unfortunatly.
Twins su? blimey!
hope you get your way winged one.

I had #2 son at home, after a not so pleasant experience having #1 in hospital. I'd thoroughly recommend it to anyone; apart from the pain bit (and you can have gas&air & meptid injections at home) it was a great experience. The house being a tip doesn't matter really, so long as your bedroom & bathroom are clean & reasonably tidy, and they bring a pack with most stuff you will need a few weeks before your due date. You may not necessarily end up with your regular midwife for the actual birth - you'll get whoever is 'on-call' if it all starts in the night (which it often does ) but 99% of them are lovely anyway.

Milly (#3) was booked to be born at home, but when she was 2 weeks overdue they said I had to be induced in hospital, wasn't a happy bunny, but it was a lot better than 1st, mostly coz I knew what I was doing I suspect!

Many, many congratulations to you both. I had all 3 of my children at home and would definitely recommend it (although of course I have nothing to compare it with!). But the experiences were gentle and relaxed, even when things didn't go quite according to plan. OH said he felt he had a real part to play, not just hand holding!

Lmao, the boobfairy, never heard that one, got to agree I didn't change boob size throughout wore the same bra size, but I did a few days after giving birth, must be the same experience that people have after having boob jobs, nothing there one minute and then boom!!!!! I actually thought the boob pain was worse than the labour pain, maybe me but went in 2 weeks late to be induced to say my waters had broken and was already 3cms dilated

Congratulations. Those small hands will be great for harvesting produce and they are great at pulling weeds up! Only KIDDING!

[yoanbob]

You'll find a whole new way to use up excess cabbage leaves!& if your planning on breastfeeding little nipper will soon shrink them down a bit!

After deliberating my post~Sorry if too much info!!

[SueA]

Sorry I missed your news the other week Yo an Bob! Congratulations, glad everything went well at the scan & hope your morning sickness is getting better now not worse.
Perhaps I should have tried having a baby, maybe I'd have ended up with more than an 'A' cup!

[yoanbob]

have some of mine sue, your more than welcome.

cabbage leaves? at this rate I'll need one of flums quilts made out of them.

[yoanbob]

well two weeks or so to go, went to get measured for a nursing bra, H cup!!! I hope flum is sewing me a cabbage leaf patchwork quilt!
cot is up, birth pool up, baby clothes washed, nappies washed, all ready I think.
