Due April/May 2016

OMG Ninies is about to leave us in the preggy stage too! must be soooo exciting. I don't think i'd sleep a wink tonight. LOL!

@Maj, do you still feel like your iron is low? A drip sounds extreme. so no supplements worked? I'm glad your fam is looking out for you. The labs generally don't give out results commissioned by a doctor- they will send you back to the doctor. You only get results from them straight if you went on your own accord. I believe it's policy thought you get the odd staff member who isn't so strict or aware.

We had our 36 week check with the back up gynae today. Boyboy is said to be 2.8kg and doing well. Still up (vs dropped). This is my last week at work.YAY!!! Had my work baby shower last week Friday and a group of friends on Saturday too. Both surprises! they def got me. It was a lovely weekend. but our home is too small now. i don't have space for stuff and i couldn't be bothered to hunt right now. I'm yet to pack a hospital bag. Sunday was a super lazy day. We mostly slept. didn't even cook one meal. didn't even make it to church. Today we hope to go to gym. I intend to swim and do some arm work.

Have a lovely week ahead!

@ licious - thank you for the well wishes. Yes just think tomorrow this time I will have another little boy in my life and in my heart.

@Maj - yes like Licious is saying - you are very lucky to have so many doctors in your family. Maybe call the doctors room again? And if they dont want to send you the report then maybe just ask them what the levels were and write it down and then give your dad a call.

@ninies, how exciting!! hope you are relaxing a bit today though. Hows your son?
Its great that you lost your plug, shows your dr and your baby are in-sync
everything will go well, now is definitely not the time for panicking!

With the 1st 1, i lost my plug about 1 week before my daughter was born. Bu i read somewhere (or someone told me) that the plug can grow back!

@jay-bee, if i call pathcare, will they email it or do i have to go in?
I called the dr's room at 9, its almost 11, and they still haven't sent it through!!
@ninies, my dad (a GP) usually makes me feel very calm, but because I couldn't even remember what the levels were, im feeling very stupid. and thats the first thing they all asked me! (I have 4 dr's in my immediate family!!)
This is all I can think about, and I really don't want to be a nuisance and call the dr's room again!

@sonsbaby, I know how you feel with the emotions!! I really didnt even want hubby to be around me. I got into bed, and just curled up!! I think work stress is playing a big part of this overall stress.
And I feel so unproductive. Every weekend I say I need to get 2 things done, and I dont even get around to those 2 small tasks!!
you need to stop work now and get some rest! especially if the baby has dropped! dont keep pushing yourself!

Think I need to start the jungle juice. I am ok in the morning for about 2 hours, and then I am pap after for the rest of the day!

the baby shower was nice. It was also quite intimate, so I really enjoyed it! My daughter was busy packing her sister's cupboard this morning with all the new stuff!! she wanted to get the cot out, and build it so she could put the new blanket in it!!

Good morning Ladies

@Maj I am sorry about you feeling down hope you get your energy back. and about you Iron results sorry about that. you are lucky to have your family as doctors in that way they will always make sure you get the best treatment at all times.

@Sonsbay you gonna have a big man there.. I am glad he is perfectly healthy. I have been cramping like crazy for the past days but sometimes I think its my mind

@Jay-bee you like me I am always looking out for the bloody show

@Ninies I am so excited for you. thinking that tomorrow in the afternoon you will have your baba in your arms just gives me goose bumps. don't worry everything will go fine. and good luck.

you ladies everyday before I sleep I always ask myself whats going to happen the day the labour will start, I ask myself how will the pain come, is going to be back pain or the abdominal pain. and lately I have been getting dreams that I am labouring. now I get even more scared and nervous.

@Ninies -good luck with tomorrow so exciting! I am sure everything will go well!

Good morning!!

@Maj - the Dr offices are always so secretive about test results no idea why!! I mean they are your results after all why can you not have them as well?? But don't read too much into her attitude its your right to have the results! I have also struggled with the emotions this weekend...had a mini breakdown on Friday evening! Cried like its the end of the world! My poor hubby just soothed and you could see he didn't know what to do to make things better! After the storm I said to him I don't know why it happened maybe all the stress of work, the tiredness and soreness and maybe a bit of stress regarding the birth.

The cramps has gotten less but every now and again I feel it again! Baby has definitely moved down more so all movements is extremely uncomfortable!! I am going to try and stick it out at work this week as I just need to finish of a few important things! Lets just hope baby gives me this week still I also struggle with tiredness and headaches so I started drinking that Jungle juice in hopes that it gives me a bit more energy! So far the mornings with it is bearable!

Hope everyone has a good Monday!

@Jaybee - I am very nervous and yet I am very excited. Even hubby is nervous. There is just so many things that can go wrong hey....but I trust and believe that everything will be perfect and fine!
You sound very eager for your plug to come out....
I never had it with my first pregnancy but then again my c-section was done at 38 weeks. I am 39 weeks today.
