shouldnt be to much longer

Comment Published at 22:4522:4520 comments20 comments55 Visits55 VisitsReport

I havnt been on minti lately, ive been pretty busy and been doing alot of sleeping. The last 3days ive been tryign to go bed early, ill go to bed around 11pm but i still sleep for 13hrs !!! I cant stand all this sleeping cos it makes me feel really shitty :(    But i obviously need the sleep if my body is doing it all..

Friday i started to lose parts of my mucus plug, i havnt seen anything since then so it mite be building back up anyway. Ive been getting braxton hicks so much, alot today actually and they do get a little painful but i try not to notice them co si know the real thing is gonna be alot more painful. They do come frequently but not reguly, and they do pass when i move around, so i know its not the real thing.

I do know its be soon tho, with losing the plug, always going toilet, more frequent b/h and all my sleeping.. Im very nervous and scared but i cant wait to have my body back and have my baby boy in my arms. I know ill miss my tummy and the kicks but im just so over it and ive had such a hard time being pregnant im scared its gonna make me not want to do this again, but i know i will..

Ive still got more of bubs clothes to do, i didnt realsie how much i had..Everytime i go to pack the hospital bags i start doing something else, i really have to do them tho cos it could be anytime. I mite get goran to put the car seat in the car too soon, just in case.. I rather him do it now, then leave it and not know how to do it or put it in wrong.

Well im gona have a shower, i feel like crap, ive on;y been awake for 3hrs hahahahha, then i mite go walk to my mums.

I hope everyone has been doing good.

Dannii xxo

Re: shouldn't be to much longer

Your body will thank you for all the extra sleep and when the time finally comes you will be OK, I found that if I thought to myself that with every contraction I was a step closer to seeing my beautiful baby it helped me focus.

Some things that I found useful in my hospital bag was lip salve, your lips will get try when you get hot during the labour so find one that you like or use a favourite one. Socks, I was amazed at how cold your feet can get when pacing backwards and forwards on the hard hospital floor, at one point all I had on was my socks as the rest of me was too hot while my feet were freezing. I also took too much when I had Amy and Baby really doesn't need too many changes of clothes if you end up staying longing then expected leave a packed bag with a relative that you know will be visiting once baby is born and they can bring the extras with them and most importantly of all don't forget things for Dad/birthing partner as it can be a long day/night for them so a book is a great idea and some money for tea/coffee and parking, plus a packed lunch as hospital food will probably be only supplied to you (lucky you!).

I hope all continues to go well and can't wait to hear of the new arrival.

Take care

Re: shouldn't be to much longer

Hey Clare,

Good thing i love to wear socks hahahaha, thats so weird that everything is hot besides your feet. My feet are always cold, they never warm up, i think cos i have poor circulation in my legs. Thanks for the advice on how to stay focused, i really think that will help.

Here in Australia you stay in hospital for awhile a few nights i think soill need a few changes of clothes for bubs, i have so much and dont know which to take!! I dont know what ill take for my bf, he doesnt like reading so im really not sure, maybe bring a portable dvd player or something.

I think ill be getting my family to bring my food in, hospital food is nasty, my bf can have it hahahaha...

Re: shouldnt be to much longer

Well its getting close to that time, how fast it will seem to have gone once you have that lovely boy in your arms! If you have any problems with the car seat you can go to the local Ambulance Station and they will check that it is in ok for you. I remeber when i had my 1st, packing my bag, then unpacking it, re-packing it, i had to keep checking that i had everything i wanted and needed with me and i kept changing my mind what Jack was going to wear home from the hosp, lol! When i had the twins i just threw whatever i thought i'd need in and didn't even check that i had everything, luckliy i did, lol!

And i'm going to say it too, enjoy the rest while you can so that you have heaps of energy to push that boy out! 

Maggie xoxo

Hey Maggie,

At the start of the pregnancy it was going so slow, the 2nd trimester flew and now im back to waiting :(   I hope he holds on a few more weeks tho.

Im huessing ill be in a couple of nights so ill need a few changes of clothes for bubs, im gonna have so many bags hahahaha, cos i have to bring everything for him, nappies,bottles,formula,clothes,dummies, his toiletries hahahaha, then all my stuff too.. I cant decide what to take for him, i have so much clothes.

Yeh thats the only reason i rest, to save energy for the big day, otherwise i wouldnt care if i didnt sleep, i dont like sleeping at all,makes me feel crappy.

Re: shouldnt be to much longer

Hey Cath,

I HATE sleeping!!! Ive never been a big sleeper, i use to live on 5hrs a day and was up for anything. I cant wait till bubs is here cos i know i can handle the shitty amount of sleep you get. Im tired from sleeping (hope that makes sense) But i guess these 13hr sleeps will be good to have energy for the birth. I WANT THIS BABY OUT!! I keep getting these horrible stabbing pains and i can feel his head turn and it feels gross, he wants out and i want him out, i wish i could fast forward to the birth :(

Dannii xxo         Bag will get done tomorrow.

Re: shouldnt be to much longer

Hey Juzzy,

Yeh i havnt been on minti lately, 1. Because im either sleeping, gone out or doing things around here and 2. I have spoken to a few ppl about this but ive realised that since having time off minti how much i leave my partner out of things. Its pretty sad i was on the net more then sharing my life with my partner. I love everyone on minti, and my bf wasnt complaining but i felt bad to gove him no time. (sorry for my ramble, but maybe others wonder why im nt on)  OH AND MY NET IS SLOW STILL :(

Yup!! ill do the bags tomorrow when i get up.

Dannii xxo

Re: shouldnt be to much longer

Hey Dannii

All i can say is SLEEEP !!! Sleep now, sleep as much as you can!!! Unless you are one of the lucky ones who has babies who sleep thru the night fron very early on, you will be wishing that you could have these 13 hour sleeps back again!!

Sounds like you have almost finished unpacking. That is good to hear! As for the car seat, definately put it in yourself, or at the very least supervise!!! When i was in hospital, Shannon and my Dad were in charge of putting the pram in the car.. yes, just the pram... Because they couldn't figure out how to fold it up, they nearly took to it with a hammer!!!!

I cant wait to meet your little man!!!

Take care hun xoxoxox

Re: shouldnt be to much longer

Hey Cass,

Im not much of a night sleeper myself, i use to only sleep 5hrs and felt great teh next day, thats how i was for 5yrs.

I have a holden pram and its a pretty big pram.Ive had it se up since i got it cos i cant figure out how to put it down, the instructions aint too much help hahaha, so ill have to figure out that one soon. The car seat instructions are pretty straight forward and ive had to put in alot of car seats so we should be alrite with it.

Well he should be here soon, im hoping not for another 2weeks at the least, my stomach is all baby and its pretty big already but he still has some more cooking to do, i just wish these last weeks would hurry up!!

Re: shouldnt be to much longer

Hey Dannii,

sounds like things are progressing well......   Sleeping alot is good 'cause you won't get much when bubs arrives.   You will know when the time comes 'cause you might get the nesting bug!  LOL  You will want to do thing like clean out all the kitchen cupboards etc...  Never happened to me but did with my sister. she cleaned like crazy.

Good idea is to get the car seat checked after it is put in.  My partner put the seat in exactly how the instructions told him too.  I then got it check out and they said it was no good too loose. And they had to put some sort of buckle to tighten it.  Found some info for you restraint fitting stations hope you don't mind.

Take care - Angie

Ps can't wait for baby to arrive and see the pics LOL

Re: shouldnt be to much longer

hey Liz,

yeah ive noticed the braxton hicks wear off when i walk, thats how i know they aint real contractions. Its just very painful now, he is so low and i can feel his head turn and his hands are always moving and his feet are always playing in my rib cage, plus with the hernia its been tuff.

Yep ill mae sure channy lets you all know when i go into labour and have bubs, i dont think it will be for awhile yet, im hoping another few weeks for his sake.

Re: shouldnt be to much longer

Dannii, you may complain about the sleeping now but you'll miss it after the bub comes.  No need to be scared, I had two girls and neither of them were really painful but not only that, after you hold your little baby in your arms you realise it's all worth it and you'll want another.

Hopefully, not too much longer for you.  Take care.

Re: shouldnt be to much longer

Hey,

Nah ive never been much of a sleeper, ive always lived on 5hrs slee and felt great, so to sleeping so long really kills me and i never have energy. I think once bubs comes it will be all good tho cos i can just sleep when he does.

Yeah alot of people say you forget the pain of giving birth, im actually thinking im too worried about that , i just dont enjoy being pregnant for 9months, i dont know how ill do t again, but i dont want an only child so ill go again in a few years.
