Lovely scan pic shell ((Hugs)) I hope the next 19 days till induction pass quickly. I'm sure it's best for baby breathing wise etc and just hope that you are able to cope in the meantime.
 
Hi shell

Lol at hubby not wanting to get nipple cream - the one time i sent my OH to get my tampons he nearly cried, he got back in the car beetroot hehehe cant wait to ask him to get nipple cream!!

23rd November is a lovely day to have your baby! try to stay positive even though its not quite what you wanted its still THIS MONTH! woohoo!!!
 
Thanks ladies. I have calmed down an awful lot now lol. I know it's whats best for bean, as his growth is still on the small side, so the longer in the better. They estimated his weight on Wednesday at 2.2kg (about 4.8lbs) so that would put his weight on the 23rd at about 6-7lbs which would be perfect.

My GP surgery has got the swine flu vaccine in now, and are rolling out next week, so it's decision time. The one thing that is making the decision complicated is the initial 6 months protection for the baby, particularly as he'll be at nursery from 3 months. Also, my GP has the GSK one in which is the one with the uncertain adjuvant :( Lots of research today and brain ache!
 
Hiya Shel!

Fab news you have a date, not so great that it wasn't as soon as you wanted it to be but hey, not long to go! And we'll all be here to keep chatting and to keep you busy in the meantime! :)

Nipple cream? Men are so funny about what they will and will not get. But good that he braved it and got it for you anyways :)

So how are you feeling, I read you were sick a few days ago, everything calmed down now?? xxxx
 
Hi Abbie,

I'm ok ta, much the same. Been sick a few more times since then, seems to be the carbs before lunchtime thing I had earlier on in the pregnancy. So long as I avoid bready things I'm fine.
 
Oooooh I share your pain Shel, me and my midwife have been meeting for 2 hours today to decide what the heck we should advise our pregnant ladies re the swine flu jab. We've eventually compiled a letter and some fact sheets but basically we both agreed we don't have a clue whats best and nor do our local obstetricians. difficult choices for you.

Lol at hubby and nipple cream but at leats he got over himself and did it.

I'm gutted baby is not comng on my birthday but must live with it best for baby and you of paramount importance.

Good luck and big hugs

Thanks M. I think I've pretty much decided against it. It's too much of an unknown risk for me to take, and the stats on the numbers tested on are pretty low too.

Sorry about your birthday, if it helps, I'm being induced the day before my best friends birthday, so it's likely he'll come then, which she's over the moon about as I forget it every year :D
 
Held my tongue on the jab front but I'm not going for it, glad to read your research has led you the same way - tells me I'm right to be sceptical.
 
I think if I were earlier on in the pregnancy I would consider it more, because of the risks to me in late stage pregnanct, but at this stage it seems to be a no. The last thing before a definate no is to speak to my GP when I see him on Tuesday and ask his opinion. It might all be unnecessary though because of my lupus, I wasn't allowed to have the BCG/Tetanus/Polio at school because of that, although I had the polio vaccine when my son had his as it was still a live vaccine then and there was a risk of crossover into his nappies.

Had a curry for dinner tonight, a tikka massala which for me is quite spicy, but I think I can handle hotter so going to step it up a level tomorrow. Pineapple for pudding later :D
 
lol at you with your curry and pineapple!! honestly! lol your DH will need his energy by the sound of things! ;) ;) nudge nudge. :p
 
Never mind my birthday Shel, I'm just getting really excited that thebaby will soon be here and both of you safe and well.

Counting down

Thanks M :)

14 days to gooooooooo!

Well today should be Aquanatal and coffee with the ladies, but as I am taking one of them round Costco afterwards I've decided to skip the exercise and start with the cake :D Aquanatal and trekking round costco would be way too much for me right now, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Had a wierd old night last night. Was trying to get to sleep and suddenly came over all hot and nauseous. Felt a bit like a hypo blood sugar drop, but I couldn't be bothered to get up and have something to eat, so just made hubby open both the windows and went to sleep eventually. I'd already turned the heating off earlier in the evening, so when I woke up this morning it was FREEEEZZZING. Lesson learnt, keep a snack by the side of the bed!

So just 2 weeks to go till Induction Day, I've been trying all the tricks to convince him to come before then, as I would quite like to go naturally. Had Lamb Rogan Josh for dinner last night, which was horrid, and didn't result in instant labour :confused: :rolleyes: Have an extra hot tikka for tonight ;) Can't face any more pineapple, and have been popping the RLT capsules like a demented 80's raver in an E factory. Daft thing is I know he'll come when he's ready and not a moment before.

Hope everyone's well,

Shel x
 
Grrrr @ yoyo breakfast. It seems that what goes down must come up again still! I want toast in the mornings! Morning sickness at 36 weeks is just ludicrous.
 
Hope you enjoy costco - the walking might well help things along.. as for the curries, sounds like you are torturing yourself! lol As you say baby will come when ready if not before the inducing anyway.

2 weeks - not long now at all!! I can't wait till I can say the same! lol Mind you i'll be full term before I can say that! :p

Glad you're appetite is making up for things in the evening - sickness can happen late on though.
 
costco got shelved till tomorrow, as they lady I was taking had forgotten! So just had coffee and cake and came home :) Going tomorrow instead.

So a quiet afternoon, got parents evening at 4pm, and hubbs is going to get a new tattoo. He's having my name, my son's name and the baby's name tattooed on his chest. Not sure what I think about it lol but it's his decision and I'm just pleased he's thought to include my son as at first he was just going to get baby's name.
 
Aw that's a shame about your friend forgetting! lol But glad you got your coffee and cake still :)

lol at DH's tattoo - I love tattoo's I have 3 and would love more. They are very personal things. I'm not a lover of names I must admit. lol But they do work and as said a very personal thing. :) I see them as artwork I want to live with forever! lol Do you have any at all?
