Thanks for coming to visit here! Congrats to all new mommy's and mommy's-2'be!
A few days out of my pregnancy i felt i needed to vent or write or just document what was going on and when so below you will find everything i felt was worth writing. Even though the whole 9 months of pregnancy in general is worth writing about. Giving birth is a wonderful experience in my opinion and i believe pregnancy is the cloud before the sunshine. lol. Hope you are all happy and healthy and thanks again for stopping by!



About Me...


Ok so basically it tells you what you need to know right up there ^^^ but hey, doesn't everyone like to fill in the gaps?

Ok this is my third pregnancy and it came as somewhat of a shock, not that I'm upset I'm quite excited now its actually sunk in. We already have two wonderful daughters, Caitlyn (almost 4) and Angel (2 and half). So adding one more to the family is going to be fun for us all.

Neal and I have been married now for almost 5 years... yes i got married when i was 18 in case any of you are trying to do the math. We currently live in a rented house with our 3 cats (hollie, snowball and jessop) and our staffy (lita). We are the typical family without the cars as neither of us have the brains to pass a test.

I have tried this evening to add pictures to this page but seeing as i am restricted to my internet abilities (due to the cave man style dial up we have) i have lost all patience and decided to wait until next week when we get our broadband back. HOORAY!

Pregnancy up to yet has dragged me through hell. I have had every pregnancy symptom going...10-fold. You all may think I am acting the drama queen but seriously I have done this twice before and it was never this bad. Its a completely different feeling this time. Anyone else suffering that?

I am really looking forward to the 26th June when I'll be finding out my baby is all good and well and having all my 'stabs in the arms' to make sure everything is ok. May sound odd to those needle fearer's out there but i like to make sure everything's ok so i know what to expect, know what i mean?

I'd love to meet people who are due around the same time as me so we can go through the stages together and discuss the differences, solutions to problems, and choices we get confronted with. I'm a terrible chatter box and sometimes don't know when to shut up... I'm sensing you nodding. lol.

Well as it is already late and being pregnant is taking my sleeping patterns for a ride, i will leave it here. I promise to add more pic's of my family and baby belly as soon as i can but for now i leave you to question my mental state and i look forward to meeting you all.

June 16th 169 days to go...

Woke up this morning to screaming kids arguing over a dinosaur, great start to the day don't you agree?

After dragging my still kinda sleepy head off the pillow i threw on some clothes, headed down stairs and found my hubby on the couch where i left him last night. The ass had fallen to sleep on me the one night in the past two months i had felt my sexual appetite returning... Well i wasn't too happy cos not only did i not get some loving i had no-one there to keep me warm. Last night seemed to be the coldest night all year. Plus the rain was hitting the window hard so i couldn't really distract myself from that. I did eventually get a midnight visitor in the form of my 2 year old. She too was feeling the cold and wanted a cuddle to get her back to sleep.

Anyway after waking up and still trying to act all moody over last nights dissapointment, i have geared myself up for this 4year olds birthday party i have to take Caitlyn to this afternoon. Its going to be hell i just know it, don'+*-t get me wrong i like kids but one at a time. Watching kids run around barefoot screaming and falling over for 2 whole hours is not my ideal way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

Pregnancy wise I'm feeling ok today. Apart from the yuckiness returning now and again i am not feeling pregnant at all. i have a bump now, seems only i can tell cos as I'm a 'big' girl anyway its hard to notice. i have gone a bit rounder instead of being as wobbly as i was. lol.

I cant wait to feel the baby move. I really cant, then i will feel really pregnant, maybe when i go for my US i will feel it more.

I almost missed my screening tests for down syndrome and spina bifida. I really don't like missing tests cos if anything were to happen i would blame myself for not having tried to find out sooner. Luckily the woman who booked me in to the hospital was very understanding and she squeezed me into a spot a lot sooner than would have been possible normally. So I'm looking forward to that now.

Ok i wrote enough for now. Take care all. xxx

Later that day...

The party wasn't as bad as i expected, was ok actually, kids really enjoyed it and we didn't really see a lot of them as they all knew each other from school. I love to see my baby growing up but hate that she doesn't depend on me so much when shes socializing any more. Well i guess its just life. At least me and the other moms from the school had a chat and got to know each other a bit better, might help the awkward silences outside the school gates from now on.

Well tonight i have been suffering again, we went to Macdonalds after the party and oh my what a mistake, Lets just say my behind has been getting to know the toilet bowl for a few hours this evening. (overshare.... i think so) Anyway i wont be doing that again any time soon. I think i knew as i was eating it i was gonna regret it. Since then i have been a little wary of food and the way my feelings about foods are changing so rapidly i haven't really had anything to eat tonight, accept a few ritz biscuits, (well half a big box) I have, in the past few hours, felt like eating about 15 different foods then after 5 minutes of me thinking about it the thought of whatever it was i wanted is making my stomach turn. This is what i hate. Anyone get any cures for nausea.

i am now going to spend an hour wasting my time on the net before i go and curl up in bed. I hope im gonna be able to fall to sleep a lot easier than last night. An no he isn't getting no nookie tonight just to make my point about last night! Sill growling at him when he gives me a sultry look! Just in case any of you were wondering.

Speak to you all soon!


Wednesday 20th June 16+4...

I received a letter in the post today telling me my appointment has been brought forward to Friday, which is so much better for me. Plus i get to see my baby sooner and check my dates and that everything is ok. I'm getting more excited as the days go by.

My appetite has come back now, its so relieving. I have been eating like theres no tomorrow, but watching what i eat. I felt the baby move for the first time on Monday. It was lovely. I didn't think i would feel it yet and it hadn't even crossed my mind that i might feel it. I kept wanting it to happen again but nothing since. I think he was trying to make me get out of bed.

Well i better go get dressed, I'm going to play bingo this afternoon. Yes i have nothing better to do than go and play bingo. Call me what you will. Just wish me Luck.

TC + TTYS



June 22nd... I was right they were wrong! 13+4

Today i had my first appointment at the hospital. My due date is CHRISTMAS EVE! What a surprise. The doctors and midwife predicted that i would be about 16 weeks by now and i knew that was no where near right, even after not knowing when my last period was. I had a feeling that i was about 12/13 weeks. So in your face professionals! Only kidding! They all do a great job.

So my scan... it was really great, when she first started our little baby was waving really clearly. We could see all its little bones in its fingers and everything. Then he started to jump about and was kicking off his little wall... so cute. We saw his face and all his bones and organs that were there. We have a doppler so when i got home me and my cousin (due the day before me) had a listen to our babies and funnily enough they were in exactly the same place. Heartbeats were really fast and strong and it felt so nice knowing everything is ok. I have my next hospital appointment on the 15th August. 2 days before my big girls birthday.

Everyone seems to be excited about me having a christmas baby accept me. I dont wanna miss christmas with the girls. Although i will be having a home birth, hopefully. We'll have to see.

Thats all i have for now. Too tired to carry on making my brain work. How you guys doing?



June 29th... 178 days to go!

Ok joke over. When is this going to end??? I have felt like crap for the past... forever and its not wearing off. I woke up this morning to the sound of the telephone downstairs, no interest at all in wanting to find out who it was i just wanted to stop the annoying ringing bellowing up the stairs. Finally it stopped. Just as i thought it was safe to dive back under the covers i heard that beautiful noise every mother loves to hear... Kids screaming at each other! OMG that set me off. I jumped up out of bed and nearly passing out from the dizziness with one eye open i bellowed at my children that today, the first person to argue: fight: scream: shout or do anything to get on the wrong side of me, would be spending the rest of the day in the garden shed. I am in the worst mood ever! I have decided this morning that i want to move house. Not because i need the room or for any other reason apart from me not wanting to live here anymore. I have no interest in this house what so ever. I haven't done ANY housework in the past week and its a complete pig sty. Really getting on my nerves and i have no motivation at all to clean right now. I just want to sit in a dark room with a huge beanbag and a bucket to pee in and sulk! Hate these mood swings, hate everyone, hate everything. Really Having a bad day! Someone give me strength!





Get your bags packed early just in case you need them. Make sure your partner has a phone available when he's away because this baby just might come early. We predict your baby will come 2-3 weeks early. Your baby will most likely be born in the morning. Justmommies predicts that your baby will weigh approximately 7.3 pounds and that your labor will be about 4 hours long.



11/7/7 = 16wks +2... Getting there...

Woke up today with an horrendous migrane. Head was spinning and throbbing, neck was stiff and my vision was really blurred for about an hour or so. I went outside and got some fresh air which really helped, then i had a yummy breakfast (scrambled eggs, beans, bacon and toast) which put me straight. I'm finally getting this second trimester energy too, which is really feeling good, i still need a nap come late afternoon but i think thats because of the early mornings i have been putting in.
Night before last my gas started again. I swear that my body enjoys pain.
The problems im having with my sciatica and my hips isn't gonna get no better im guessing so that I'm just going to have to deal with.
I'm starting to enjoy it a little bit more now. Just waiting to properly feel pregnant. Got to go for my triple test tomorrow. Be glad when thats out the way. Don't know why but for some reason, this pregnancy i am really concerned about these tests. I mean i have a feeling their going to find something out. Maybe its just paranoia. We'll see.
Well I'm going to go have a shower soon and make a bit of an effort with myself. Think its about time i stopped walking round like a hobo! (joke)

Hope your all good xxx




18wks 1day...

Haven't updated in a while so i thought it was time. Pregnancy is going good, feelings are improving greatly and im in much better moods now im well into the second trimester! Cant believe im almost half way. This pregnancy is going so fast! I woke up this morning with a headache!! Its still kinda hurting but i think it's because i was up late last night and slept in this morning! Wish i hadn't. Also keep having nasty tastes in my mouth! Not nice... Oh well. I had a midwife appt last wedensday and to be honest it was a waste of time, she checked the baby's heartbeat which was cool, but i do that at home, she asked if i had any problems and when i told her about them she really didn't have anything to say or suggest! She kinda rushed me through i felt. Wont let that happen again! Didn't measure me, didn't really tell me anything really. Just jotted down that i had been and then re-booked me for 5 weeks time. I will have had my second scan by then and should know the sex of the baby hopefully! Still not feeling any movement really, just the odd flutter or nudge here and there. Still alot less active than it was in week 16 which is getting pretty annoying now! Wish it would move more. It is growing bigger though and one of the mums on here suggested that when baby's sleep they grow so maybe thats why im not feeling anything? Who knows?

Apart form my pregnancy my health is all good (i think) I am having hearing loss in my left ear but the doctor has told me there is nothing that can be done until i have had the baby as there is a kink or a bend in the tube that runs from behind my eardrum to my throat. Getting really annoying though now as it just feels like my left ear is constantly submerged in water! Grrr.

Six weeks holiday has started and were all totally bored already! Got to start planning some activities! Let me know if you have any ideas that could possibly make these 6 weeks go quicker!
Ok i need to go eat again! Had breakfast an hour and half ago and im ready for lunch now LOL. Obviously i have my appetite back now! Still not wanting any junk food yet though.

Take care and speak soon!

(im in the chat room everyday...lol)





1st August! 19wks and about 2 days i think! lol.

Feeling fab today. Still suffering excruciating pain in my hips and pelvis but I ain't gonna let that get me down anymore! I have found myself becoming more of a nicer person than i usually am so something must be going right for me.

I get to find out the sex of the baby on like 13 days! Can't wait for that!!! I was convinced it was a boy 100% up until about a week ago and now I'm not too sure! :? I have this little voice in my head saying 'is it? isn't it? your gonna have to wait and see!' Just wish it would shut up and let me stay convinced! I think my indecisiveness is due to the fact that i am soon to find out (hopefully) looks like I'm just gonna have to wait it out! I hate feeling indecisive though! Hmph!
Getting a bit of a bump now, which is making me feel better about being pregnant cos i don't just look 'that fat' anymore. People are pointing it out too!

Why is it strangers and just 'people' in general find it necessary to touch your belly when your pregnant. I haven't ever really found the need to do that! Then again the town i live in is full of weird folk! No offense Wednesbury!

Well got to go be lazy for the rest of the afternoon then i spose i better cook dinner.

I will ttyl ladies!



7th August... 20 wks 1 day!

Finally got that finished! Just changed my page, wrote out my birth stories and added some pic's of the girls. I have been meaning to tidy it up a bit for a while and now its done! Only took me 3 BLOODY HOURS! I'm starving now! Seems all i talk about when I'm here is eating or not being able to eat! Thankfully i am having no prob's with food right now. Bumps doing good. Started moving about a little now and letting me know when its uncomfortable by pushing on my insides and making me want to wretch! Sounds odd doesn't it. Oh well. Never been one to follow normal goings on. I am going to be adding pic's of my scan and weekly pic's of my bump soon but i think i have been lazy long enough for today. Better make a move towards doing something. Anyone else finding their pregnancy is going sooo fast?

Take care!



August 11th... 20wks 5 Days!

Today, after going to bed this morning at about 4am, I woke up bright and early in a great mood. Its now almost 11 and mood is still going good! I am looking forward to next week as we have so much going on!
Wednesday I have my next US. Hopefully they will be able to tell me the sex of the baby and make sure everything is great! I am looking forward to it so much.
Friday is my baby's 4th birthday. I cannot believe it has been 4 years. How time flies is just unbelievable! I have yet to get her presents as everything I have already brought she has found and already played with. So lots of shopping to do too! I'm terrible at saying no just lately! I'm finding myself opting for the easy life and just giving in. Contradicting Neal in some cases, to his dislike obviously! But anything for some peace and quiet.
Party is all sorted and room is booked and done! So i don't need to worry about that.
We have plans to go on holiday mid-October for our anniversary so I'm looking for somewhere not too far to go and spend the week. The last 5 years have gone so fast! I guess time flies when your having fun ;-) ;-) LOL
I finally updated my page again and put up the pic's of my bump. I have been taking them every 2 weeks since 14 weeks and think thats about enough of a time gap. Otherwise you can't really tell the growth size as good, in my opinion.
Kicks and jab's I'm getting are great. Accept for when they make me feel a little sick. Whenever i talk or write about them they get stronger. Although it seems the baby is constantly active until i fall asleep.
I was worried about not feeling it a week ago and now its constant. SO SWEET!
We finally sat down and picked names today. Hubby had already chosen a boys name and I kinda liked it so were going with it for a boy and I wrote down a list of baby girl's names i liked (after reading the whole girls section of the baby book) and told him to pick the ones he liked. Caitlyn made the final decision. (revealed below) LOL!
Its all quite in my house right now as everyone is yet again fast asleep so i think i am going to throw my wobbly ass in the shower, get dressed and spend some time out in the sunshine (heat depending)
Catch you all later and let me know what you think of our baby names!

Girls Name - Gracie-Rae or Immogen-Rae

Boys Name - Corey Christopher



August 14th - 22wks 1 day!

Seems to be going so fast still. I have m Ultrasound tomorrow and cannot wait! I hope i get to find out the sex and everything looks ok!
Still busy with everything i got planned for this week. Booking our holiday today too which should be good. Cant wait for that either.
I felt like i just ballooned yesterday. Woke up and it looked like i had just swallowed a basket ball. I'm now a wobbling baby whale!!! Oh well. Was gonna happen sooner or later. I hope I have gained a little more weight, should be able to tell me tomorrow. Caitlyn is getting all excited for her birthday and I have to go into town to pick up her bike soon so i have to get out of here!
Hope all you ladies are doing fine! Keep me updated on how your bump are growing.

~!~WiSh Us LuCk FoR tOmOrRoW~!~




August 15th... 21wks 2days

Hiya. Just thought i would update you all on the results of my ultrasound today... Baby is doing great and we got to find out that its stubborn, shy or just a generally naughty baby as it wouldn't open its legs for us to take a look at what we got. lol. I was so sad, then the Dr who was doing my US gave me a surprise. He was great we were in there 40minutes and he gave us a free 3d and 4d scan!!! Brilliant! So even though we don't know the sex of the baby we know exactly what he/she looks like! It was a really thorough scan and was so interesting even my kids couldn't keep their eyes off the screen. lol. Luckily due to complications in previous pregnancy's i get to go back for another scan on the 19th Sept so i will be able to get a chance to take a peek then if their feeling kind.

I put up a pic of todays scan. Unless you know what it is actually a picture of you cant even tell its a baby. lol. I pointed out the face for you guys though, hope you can see it because its pretty clear. Try tilting your head to the right! lol. Thanks again for all the luck and good wishes you sent me. thankfully though the baby is perfectly healthy and doing great.

Hope all your bumps are growing well and your all having a great day!




August 22nd... 22wks 2 days

Woke up today knowing that i was meant to do something. Just couldn't think of what it was. Then while reading someones update on their page it clicked that i had a midwife appointment and had missed it. So in a rush i rang the Doctors surgery and explained that i had forgotten and luckily she told me i didn't have to worry and just to pop over. So i did. Midwife i saw today was really nice, nothing like my usual one. lol. If it had of been Val instead of Cathy i would have got a telling off today. lol. She did all the usual stuff, blood pressure, checked my water sample and had a listen to the baby's heartbeat. Which surprisingly she found right above my belly button! All was going good till she had a feel of my tummy and where my uterus was. Then she said wow. Big baby! I thought hold on is she trying to make me shit myself. I'm 22 wks and shes telling me im having a big baby already. She said my uterus was measuring really big for how many weeks i was and asked if the hospital had said anything about the baby being big or changing my dates. They hadn't and she told me to make sure they check the baby's size at my next scan. Got me a little worried actually. I read over my notes and was searching for some info where it might have mentioned how big the baby was from my scans and so on but found nothing. While im thinking about it. does anyone know what Femur Length means? lol. Well i got home and had dinner then stood and done tons of ironing, which has been put away all neatly. Only problem is i have tons more of it now i have been doing laundry all day. Something for me to do tonight while i watch big brother i think. Well got to go. I can hear the kettle calling my name. Oh i added a 22wks pic ^up there^. let me know what you think.

Love to you all xxx




Hiya ladies! Oh it's been so long since i have been able to do anything with this page properly. Its so good to be back on the internet. I can't believe i have been away almost 7 weeks!!!
Well a quick update and I'm off to bed as the chronic heartburn and the inability to breathe properly is making my life miserable right now.
In the weeks I have been away not very much has happened. The most exciting bit of news i have is that we found out were having a ~ ! ~ ! ~ BABY BOY ~ ! ~ ! ~ ( I will believe it when i see it but my hubby is thrilled)
I have been doing ok. Hope all you have too. I have been having some trouble with breathing and being constantly tired but hopefully i will be advised on that tomorrow when i have to go have more blood tests. I have been severely sick with a tummy bug during week 28 so i have been unable to have my tests but the hospital staff have advised me that going tomorrow will be fine. Thankfully. I want my iron levels checked so i was hoping i wasn't going to miss them. I am measuring 2 weeks ahead of my due date still but the hospital said that they arn't going to change my due date and if the baby does come early (which their predicting) it will all be down in my notes and there will be no panic. At my scan 2 weeks ago
(26 weeks) the baby was weighing 3lb! I am petrified i am going to be pushing out a 10lb baby! Any advice. I wouldn't mind so much but i hardly eat enough to keep a rat alive, although my appetite is returning slowly now. Just cant seem to finish anything, not even a chocolate bar, and for those of you who know me you will know how completely strange that is. lol.
I am now half way through getting the nursery ready to be decorated and furnished. Can't wait but my lack of energy is stopping me doing much. Plus my size. I feel huge and look like i swallowed an over-sized melon! The baby was sticking out his ass in the above picture! Took it a few hours ago and thankfully he's sleeping now. The kicks in the ribs are getting really strong and the rolls and turns he does make me feel quite sick. Using my stomach and bladder as a punch bag seem to be his favourite activities at present. Its quite annoying when your walking and have to stop, mid-waddle, in-case you pee yourself slightly. Like stopping does anything accept draw attention to yourself!
I'm practicing the three W's at the minute. Whining, Waddling and Wanting. Just seems unfair how i have to be the one that is pregnant again! Why cant it be him for a change??? If only!
Are all you ladies ready for your babies to arrive yet? I am no where near. If this baby were to be born tomorrow i would be up shit creek without a paddle for sure. It would deffinately be sleeping in a drawer for a day or two. lol. I have literally brought nothing accept clothes and the not so essential stuff. Gonna put my practice of the 3 W's to good use in the next few weeks though and go out shopping. I am hoping i get a good burst of energy some time soon and get the nursery done before hand though. I need somewhere to store everything before he comes. My house just seems to be getting smaller.
i have been thinking about having a Christmas baby more and more. Where the heck am i going to fit a Christmas tree and the heaps of baby equipment along with my furniture and the girls things that occupy my lounge? I have a feeling December is going to be a hectic month.
Well this "quick update" is turning into a not so quick one so i am going to end it here and catch up with you all soon.

Hope your all doing well and Take care xxx




Update... 30+2

Went to visit my midwife today and just got a few things to report.
1. She has found blood in my urine and now i have to have more tests done to see if its a UTI or not. Hopefully it will get sorted with a course of antibiotics if it is.
2. My blood count is down slightly which is nothing major at the minute. Shouldn't have to have more blood tests unless i get any problems. (can't believe i still have a big black bruise the size of a tomato on my arm from the last one 8 days ago!)
3. I am measuring 33 weeks!!! Now this, as she explained to me can mean one of two things, either I am going to have a HUGE baby or I will deliver earlier than expected! I am hoping on the latter to be honest as i really don't want to be pushing out a 10lb+ baby... My lady garden is still in a good way saying i have already had two children so i don't even want to imagine what a big baby would do to it! lol. She said if i continue to measure over i will be sent for another scan to check the size etc and may get induced or booked in for a c-section. i was measured 4 times by two midwifes and she even wrote double checked on the little x on my graph (which was way off the line it was meant to be on!)

These pregnancy notes are getting more confusing every time i go. lol. Maybe its the sloppy handwriting?!?!

I have to go back in three weeks so I'm hoping his growth will be back to normal by then but throughout the last few months of this pregnancy i have been measuring ahead. They wont change your due dates here because the first scan you have is the most accurate one as baby's each grow at a different rate after the first 3 months.

Anyway I haev been reading up on it and worrying about it and just generally thining about everything that went on today when i saw her. Trying to remember everything they told me etc and i think I'm gonna rest my brain and fingers now for a while! Hubby is cooking a lovely dinner! (it smells good so far anyways... lol)

Take Care and if you have any advice or thoughts please drop me a comment.
I always respond! xxx



Thursday 1st Nov: 32+4... 53 days to go!


Ok so i had to have another Ultrasound on Tuesday. This was because i hadn't been feeling the baby so much. Thankfully everything is fine and he's doing great. He weighed 5lb at the scan so it looks as though he's gonna be a big boy! I'm still suffering with the heartburn and this funny ringing sound in my ears but hey, can't complain. Kinda bringing myself round to the idea of having a big baby and i have decided as i seem to take the pain of childbirth really well until its too late i am going to be going into hospital as soon as i feel i am going to need the epidural. I wasn't planning on an epidural and did actually want a home birth, but with them telling me Corey is a big baby i have decided its best for everyone that i go in. I'm now the size of a hippo and waddle my way through the day complaining and eating ALOT!

I finally finished buying everything i need for his big arrival and I'm all done now! Just need to re-arrange the house now to make room for it all to be set up when he arrives! His room isnt going to be anywhere near ready. The plastering still hasn't been done and i am just way too big now to decorate and fit carpets!

I have decided I'm gonna be spending the rest of my time concentrating on Christmas. Still no where near ready. Have a few things i know the girls will like but no idea what they actually want as everything that comes on TV they ask for. And my funds just don't stretch as far as six isles in toys r us! Gives me something to think about to pass the time though. I am also looking out for a new tree this year as I'm just not going to have the room for the huge one we have and a real one is a no no with the kids and a new baby. I will have my hands full enough with my babies, never mind sweeping up pine needles all day!

Hope you all had a great Halloween too. My girls went out and got tons of sweeties and chocolates. We were only out an hour and their bags were overflowing. It was great seeing all the little kids about dressed up and generally having a great time. It has never been a really big tradition over here but this year it seemed like people were really getting into the Halloween spirit and it was a fun night.

Well i think thats all i have to update for now. Hope your all doing good and everyone is feeling great.

Wont be long now! xxx



14 Nov... 34 Weeks 2 days! 40 DAYS TO GO!

This pregnancy is almost over and its hard to believe how quick its gone! WOW!

Last night was a strange one! Went to bed as usual, sat down to set my alarm and all of a sudden i felt this warm wet feeling 'down there' I stood up turned on the light and the bed was covered in water! Like someone had spilt a drink. I shouted Neal to come look and his face was a picture! He kinda got excited i think. I was sure it wasn't pee as it was absolutely clear and didn't smell of anything (Well i had to check it out didn't I! TMI i know) I decided i would wait until today to see if anything happened over night and if not there was obviously nothing to worry about. This morning i woke up and the sheets thankfully were wet patch free! I got on with the day as usual but i was still trickling waters and by noon it was making me wonder what was happening, as i was in no pain apart from the everyday period pain/cramps i been having. So I rang my midwife
, on the advice of some of you lovely ladies here, and i explained everything to her. She said it sounded like my back waters had broken and that if i kept leaking more than a teaspoonful i should ring the hospital. If i wasn't too worried or in any pain to just monitor it as with my back waters breaking it could either heal itself or send me into labour. She then told me to ring the hospital and get a second opinion just to make sure. So i did and they told me the same. Only trouble now is i am on pad watch! I have to change this nasty maternity pad every hour and monitor how much fluid i lose. Thankfully it has slowed down to almost nothing since this morning and hopefully everything is healing and i can carry on as normal.

Aside from the above bit of drama the only things i have to report on is this back ache and pressure pain i get constantly. Its becoming a real pain in the ass! Literally! Thankfully the baby is slowly evening out size wise now. Last appointment which was on the 7th Nov he weighed approx 6lb 2oz! Still a bit big for 33 weeks i think.







Week 35

Yesterday i had an appointment with my midwife. Not much to report. She measured my tummy and told me he is now approximately 7lb 2oz!!!! Big huh? lol. He is also 4/5 Engaged. I have been prescribed some heartburn relief tablets so i can't wait till i can go pick them up. The stuff I'm taking at the minute is doing zilch! BH are worse than ever now and I pray every time i get them that they will turn into the 'real thing'! I will be trying all the home induction theory's out in a few weeks time for sure! Any ideas or ones that have worked for you please let me know. I am so fed up with being hippo sized and uncomfortable and cannot wait to get my body back! lol.

Hope your all doing good.



OK! 28 days left. Cool. I can last another 28 days without feeling sorry for myself and crying daily I'm sure...
Ok maybe not. I'm sure any woman who got to this point in their pregnancy has been thinking for the past week 'omg when is this going to be over?'. I feel like hell! I am sick too which isn't helping. Today i have decided that to keep track of how im feeling each day (up until the birth) i am going to try and remember to write a quick few notes here daily! So ok... 28 days. Today i feel like my baby fell! like hes slipped down into one of my huge thighs somewhere! My stomach now has this huge gap between my bump and my boobs! Very strange but I'm too sick to be thinking about it. All i want to do everyday now is sleep but i keep finding things to do in the house. It is so far from being perfect and its bugging the shit out of me. So i spend most of the day on my feet then the evenings on my ass! I think I'm nesting! My kids seem to find it hillarious to be down right naughty and demanding 24/7 too. I swear the more i want to sleep the less they do! Another issue for the day... Every time i cough i feel like i am about to leave a puddle on the floor. I look as attractive as the cat woman from the simpsons and baby's movements and the braxton hicks are literally making me feel like puking. I know that sounds awful but he's so big now that it moves all my insides about and must do something to my stomach. I also find it fascinating how my body can decide one minute its constipated and the next decide that its formed a new unbreakable bond with the toilet bowl!

Oh the joys of pregnancy!

WOW 22 days left. I cannot wait now. I am so excited/nervous/petrified. lol. I didn't think i would feel like this again 3rd time round but wow its intense! Last night i went to bed early and i woke in the night in agony. My stomach was killing me and i was having pains every 4-5 minutes, couldn't get back to sleep but when i got out of bed i realized i just needed to 'empty' myself pretty bad. I swear i never poo'd so much in my life! Still got cramps today but think its just after effects of last nights toilet behavior. Ok enough about poo! I am feeling a bit better after my nasty cold and apart from still hacking up nastiness i am doing good. I have been having energy spurts but most of the time i just wanna sit on my ass. Although there are still things bugging the crap out of me that i just cant let lie. I am now completely packed for the hospital and i have everything ready for baby's big arrival! just as long as he definitely is a boy lol. If not I'm screwed! Well ladies i have to go but will let you all know my plan of action for the weeks ahead very soon.

I DID IT!!! I gave birth... Check out the story below!

Type of delivery: Vaginal (with pain relief)
Duration of labor: 45 minutes
Weight @ birth: 7lb 1 and half oz
Length @ birth: 50cm

Corey-Christopher-Hill`s birthstory:

I woke at 6:30am on Tuesday morning thinking i was wetting the bed, turns out my waters had broken. After waiting a few hours to see if contractions would start i decided to ring the hospital and let them know. At 11:30am they brought me in and i was put on monitors for the whole day. I was examined at about 1pm and to my disappointment i was only 3cm dilated :( There were concerns about the baby`s heart rate as it was dipping with any slight pain or niggle i was having (not that i could feel any of them). I w

Hi there,

I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.

We’re in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.

If you’re interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.

You can contact me on: seema.modhvadia@rdftelevision.com
