How good am I? Septic Peg eat your heart out :D by the way if your suffering from heatburn it means the baby has hair, though I'm not sure about that because I never had one bit of hearburn when I had my daughter and she was born with a mop of hair.

10 May great birthday my nephew Iain was born on the 10th many moons ago, another great name apart form Daniel and Matthew is Paul after Mr Paul Hewson the Legendary Bono who was born on the 10th of May.

nah i had horrible heartburn with connor and he came out with very little hair! i was expecting him to have a afro :lol: everyone told me hed be hairy :lol:

Huge congrats hun on your baby boy xxx

I am now 23 weeks and just wondering whether i should be leaking from my boobs at this stage. I have noticed that my boobs have been leaking and wondered whether they should do. I thought that shouldnt happen until i was further on.

with my first i noticed leakage from 18 weeks, i remember also thinking what, this shouldnt happen! but had to wear breast pad from then on, this time it didnt happen till much later on

Some women start leaking as early as 15 weeks, so don't worry it's normal :)

Thats ok then. Was a bit worried thinking that it shouldnt be happening yet.

Its wierd cos in the past few weeks i have just got big. Just before xmas i couldnt really see much difference in my stomach but now its seems to be growing very quickly.

I am now 31 weeks and 3 days

Sorry but this is gunna be long.
On saturday night me and DH decided to order a chinese takeaway which we ate, watched 28 Weeks Later and then went to bed. I woke up at around 3.30 and rushed to toilet n threw up. I then woke up quite a few times during the night to be sick again. Had hardly any sleep and stayed in bed till 2ish in the afternoon on Sunday cos i was just throwing up allt he time and had no energy and had really bad diarehoa (tmi). When i did get up DH gave me some Cornflakes to eat and i threw up after them. I tried drinking water and just threw up.
Went to bed that night and again threw up a couple of times so on Monday morning i rang hospitals day unit who told me to try and sip water which i did and still threw up. I rang again and they told me to go to doctors, so i made an appointment to see my doctor for 4pm. Went to the appointment and she gave me a letter and sent me down to A&E.
When i got there they stuck a plastic thing (cant remember name of it) into my hand and took blood from it, then also give me some anti-sickness medicine through it and then put on the IV drip. Had to give a urine sample. I felt so weak, when i coughed i had sharp pains in my back and sides and could hardly walk. I had keytones in my urine and so had to be sent upto Maternity assesment. They did a CTG (i think) and said baby was fine. They said i was suffering from tachycardia (fast heartrate) and very servere dehydration. They needed to keep me in cos the symptoms i was having could be a sign of hypertension. (dunno what that is)
Eventually at 10pm i was taken to my room and Simon had to go. By this time the fluids they were giving me through the drip were starting to make me feel a little better and i was starving (since i hadnt eaten for 2 days) they gave me a ham sandwich and i went to sleep. They changed the IV drip a few times and altogether i was given 4 litres of fluids through it. By the morning there was only a small trace of keytones in my urine and i was able to eat some cornflakes so the doctor was happy for me to be discharged. She said that it was most probably food poisoning that had caused all of this. So i got home yesterday and just had a relaxing day reminding myself never to have a takeaway again.

Oh dear. I was thinking of food poisoning after you said you'd had a takeaway and was throwing up.

Good thing is you're ok now and there's no damage to the baby.

Hypertension is high blood pressure, which can be a symptom of pre-eclampsia.

Not long to go now. Have you thought of any names?

Oh dear you've had a terrible weekend, glad to hear the baby is fine. Just you try and get plenty of rest.

Our surname is Britton so we are trying to find names that fit with it. First names and middle names.

The names we like are Matthew, Damien and Daniel.

I would love my son to be callen Damien Matthew Britton but people keep annoying me and saying "oh well thats like the Omen, devil child". Argh that annoys me so much.

I dont like common names, you know the ones that all kids have at the moment. I want something different but not stupid. A traditional name not modern n stupid.

Since the beggining of the pregnancy i have been trying to think of names and could never think of any for a boy lol if we had a girl she would have either been Isabelle or Maisie but boys are harder to choose for lol.

What would you lot recomend, any of the above names or any others would be great to fit with our surname.

Thanks

Micci 33 weeks n 1 day lol

Miccisy, you shouldn't mind what other people say about Damien... the kids in his class are not going to know so he won't be slagged of there... I like Damien or Daniel

I also like Jason or James.. even Michael

I like Isaac and Rueben for boys, with River as a middle name.

For girls I like Matilda, Indi (Indianna) and Ruby

My niece is called Maisie Ysobel (pronounced Isabelle), she loves her name.

EDIT: Just flicked up to the top and realised you're having a boy :lweek:

I like the name Sasha - can be both girl or boys name! & agree with Siobhan, Jason's nice.

But the names you've picked are gorgeous too. :D

Only 11 days ill im due now. Cant wait now am so sick of being pregnant lol.

Feel huge, so uncomfy, cant sleep...

We have decided on Thomas Damien Britton as his name.

best of luck with the labour and what a nice name too

All the best with the birth and I also love the name you have chosen :)

Best of luck :D and what a lovely name :D

Lovely name, good luck! :D

Oo not long now!

And such a cute name, I love Thomas, it's a 'proper' name if ya get me, and just really nice I think (:

Wow that seems to have gone really quick! such a cute name.

Good luck with the labour, cant wait to hear how it all went
xx

My friend is due on 11 June she has picked Rhianna for a girl and Xander for a boy. I'm not keen on those names, it's nice to see more traditional names being used.

Good Luck Miccy you'll be fine just remember to take every drug the offer you.:D

I love the names :)

Well i am now 4 days overdue. Am so achey now. Cant wait to have him.

Get the cod liver oil and orange juice down you and flush the little treasure out :D

Right dont laugh but go and eat a CurlyWurly. I know it sounds mad but it has worked for me, my sister and so far 2 of my friends. No Idea why but my friend did it for a laugh and to prove me wrong - well she went into labour 2 hours later!!

Good luck for whenever he comes.

Go and sit in a nice warm bath. That helped me with my first baby.

I had an Indian curry just before giving birth to my boys.

The advice above seems to suggest that you stuff yourself do that the baby is pushed out by your expanding stomach, lol!

Good luck, and I hope that you have a good birth and healthy baby.

x

Whatever you do, all the best xx

Is there any roads near where you live that have cobblestones. If so get hubby to take you for a ride down the bumpy road.

Welll I am he comes soon :D

Well I've never been pregnant but that seems like an old wife's tale :lol:

Any more weird suggestions to hurry a baby up?

Hope the birth goes ok :)

when my mum was pregnant with my brother and she was overdue by a week the midwife told her to eat a fresh pineapple (: god knows how that would help but obviously they think it will.

and also (she could have said this when is wasn't in the room!) but sex is supposed to help, but I always think that a woman who is term plus really wouldn't be in the mood to do anything let alone that!

Hope he comes along soon! x

Still here 8 days over. Am being induced on saturday if he hasnt come by then.
Went to a different GP's surgery today for a sweep and midwife that saw me said she couldnt do it cos i wasnt engaged enough even though my usual midwife said i was fully engaged so im gutted.
Am trying anything at moment. Eating hot food and loadsa pineapple (recomended by midwife) and really anything that will work but i dont think he wants to come out lol.

What's a sweep?

aww sorry to hear he dosent want to come out, fingers crossed he will arrive soon

What a shame you must be fed up. The little soul must be comfy he doesn't want to come out. Hope everything goes alright and he makes an appearence before the weekend.

I am going to be very boring and say: when the time is right for baby, baby will come. Perhaps he need that little bit of extra time, mothers/doctors/midwives have got dates wrong, so I would wait to be induced if this is medically required, otherwise let nature decide when time is best :)
