Aww that sucks Tazzy - hope you get a better nights rest tonight! I find if I sleep during the day then I pretty much don't sleep that night, which at the moment wouldn't make a differenct cause I'm half awake tossing & turning.
Update on my friend who was in Waikato - she ended up giving birth to the girls naturally on Wed round 3pm. This is the girl as soon as she knew she was pregnant booked in for a c-section, didn't even contemplate a VBAC. We are so proud of her cause there were no drugs involved at all, most likely helps that she didn't realise she was in labour till she was 8cm dialated! & Her OB and his backup were overseas when it all happened so she'll get the $4,500 back that she'd paid him 
Hope your Iron pills dont 'stuff up' the other end

Oh I feel heaps better today thank goodness!
Wow your friend should definitely proud of herself! Good on her! 
Yes I am hoping the other end doesn't get too "stuffed up"  I'm on the prune juice already and a friend of mine suggested Kiwicrush (frozen kiwifruit?). So I am prepared. They say the tabs these days aren't as bad as they used to be though?
Oh have I got one active bubba today. But I always see that as a good thing

Yup active babies are good - though annoying for trying to get comfortable - currently mine is tucked up under my right ribs - can't bend over that way at all 
Ugh MASSIVE case of baby brain - bit on a tummy tub on TM - only to work out that they are ages away from my sister and its a pick up only auction.... have emailed offering to send a courier ticket or if they'd rather to re-list the item.
And in rant news....
Had my Great-Grandmothers 95th on sat, I was rather worried bout all the old biddies rubbing my bump... BUT no it was an aunty (whom I dont see that much) that was all over it like a rash. When I told her I didnt like being touch and I've starting getting really grumpy with people that touch she told me to 'Get used to it'  My sister said I should have grabbed her boobs and told her to 'Get over it'

Hello November Crew!
I am due November 20 so am hoping I don't flip into October - too early or December - too late!!
I have just moved to Auckland after being away and living in Wellington for a few years. Lots of friends down there are in baby making mode too.
I feel super lucky so far with how the pregnacy is progressing, lots of little aches and pains but no drama!
Hope you are all coping saying goodbye to your feet and having your ribs mashed too :)
Loren

HEHEHE - I so know the feeling about the one person who wont leave your tummy alone. I wonder if I grabbed someones boobs at work if that would be sexual harassment or not hehehe. I am meeting with the specialist on Monday to work out a date for my c-section. We ended up in hospital on Monday with a bleed that ended up being a small placental tear so have been told I need to slow down big time....something I am really not good at...but it would have been worse.
Hope everyone is doing well and welcome back to AKL Loren.

Hi Ladies,
Well I have recovered from my migraine thank goodness. But now the aches and pains are starting to plague me! Mum said I need to slow down but I just can't! I already have sidelined a lot of things I used to do and I keep thinking if I slow down any further I'll be doing nothing!
GoodCoffeeMum I'm due the 18th of November and I'm also thinking if bubs comes early it's could be October or if too late it will be December! But it doesn't bother me either way really as long as bubs is healthy.
Wo Kiwineece that must have been a lil scary for you? I know I would have been freaking out a little!  I hope everything is fine and you are taking it easy!
Well other than feeling tired and sore everything is going well. Bub's is still moving lots, maybe not so many kicks now but definitely lots of wriggles and sweeping movements. The hiccups were coming through in full force for a few days this week so bubs must have been having a growth spurt!
Anyway I guess I better go now and do some work *sigh*. Enjoy the day ladies

Big move Coffeemum! Hope you are settling into your new place well? I'm up in Auckland on a semi regular basis as I only moved to Rotorua about 4 years ago so all my family & some friends are still up there.... This baby better be prepared for regluar 3hour trips
Bugger Kiwineece - Yup slowing down is hard BUT you will gutted you didnt take time out for you once bubs arrives - My Dr has put me off work for a couple ot times when I'd normally have worked through a cold or something, because you dont get sick days when you have a baby 
I'm still amazed at how quickly I'm getting tired! The drive to Auckland next week will be interesting, will leave work early so I can go up Friday avo me thinks... Though I'll need something to keep me going as I have a hard day shopping & the P&C show on saturday! DH has been working really hard lately and keeps saying the extra dosh is for my shopping trip
Lots off feet under my ribs - just uncomfortable more than anything, told DH I dont mind if bubs comes anytime after I fin work (14th Oct), I'd much rather early than late (now I'll be late!).
MW made me feel right down by my pelvic bone - got to feel a shoulder! Fishing round down there hasn't crossed my mind much but MAN you can really feel hard body parts!

Hi guys
Just noticed this thread up and runnning again as I wasnt part of the FB group.
Things are ticking a long although was in hospital two weeks ago as started bleeding and having mild contractions. Thankfully everything settled and I have an irritable uterus which means I have lots of braxton hicks and cramps but doesnt eventuate into labour. couldnt find the cause of bleeding but had stopped. So have been behaving myself since then.
Am finding it difficult to sleep too get very achy hips and nothing seems to help, pillow between legs etc. So certainly looking forward to having this baby out. Have 6 more shifts of work then am off, cant wait!

Hope everyone is enjoying their saturday night! xx

Hey all,
You ladies who have experienced bleeding are so brave, good on you for staying calm! Definitely take the excuse to slow down and find slaves to do your dirty work. A little cold took me out of action for a full 5 days. By the end of it I was bored but I bet I look back at that particular boredom as a luxury!!
I haven't had the braxton hicks yet. Just a lot of rib pushing and aches and pains. Waking up sore is not something I want to get used to but may as well expect it for a few more months, I am sure a new baby will prove a good distraction. 8 weeks to go!
Today I'm taking a look at the hospital and the birth centre to try and make a final decision where I want to give birth. There are so many decisions when having a baby!!

And so much stuff that a little person 'needs'.
I'm finding it hard on where to draw the line - lucky we have quite limited space so I've had to plan purchases well. Get our change table this weekend, that will clear out some space in the drawers - for the clothes that are still in bags to find a home!
The hopsital visit helped me make up my mind for a home birth (all going to plan of course). Also have you read the latest TummyTalk mag? That has heaps of positive birth stories in it... you get it from the H2OH Baby website

Yay for getting a week working from home! I'm pretty much doing nothing these days anyway - the temp has my office & everyone is approaching her for stuff now so I'm just doing odd tasks here and there (and surfing the internet)
Good luck wiht your purchases - I'm down to quite a short list of what is left to buy... thank goodness - there are so many options it REALLY takes a bit to get my head round it all.
I'm in Rotorua so can't do your coffee group... I think there may be one on the FB group though?
And yay for a set date (all going to plan of course) - one thing I'm not looking forward to playing the unknown waiting game.
OO our house is booked in to be insulated (ceiling, floor, round windowns & door etc) just after I finish work - should make heating a bit easier

Hi Ladies!
Well I still have 3 weeks left at work but most of that will be training the temp who starts on Monday finally!
We still need to get a chest of drawers. But it's proving tricky as we're on a bit of a budget. I'll just keep combing the second hand stores for now.
We're hiring bub's capsule through Plunket. We thought seeing as we don't know how long bub's will be in it for we may as well hire then we'll buy the next one up when he/she grows out of the capsule because they'll be in that one for longer.
I went through the clothing that we have for bub's, so far, on the weekend and I have noticed that there is plenty of 000 and 0-6mths stuff but not much 0000 and newborn stuff. How much newborn stuff do you really need? Might need to do another shopping trip.
Well it is hot today in little Taumarunui! I am swealtering! I hope everyone else is well!

Good luck training your temp! Mine has been an absolute nightmare (to put it lightly!)
Have you checked out TM for drawers? We brought ours new - but off there and they were a REALLY good deal..... We've been fortunate enough that my sisters have had kids so they unloaded a tonne of stuff on us 
Good plan on the capsule - apparently our Plunket has just re-furbished their seats so hope yours has to! Once again I've borrowed the capsule, and when bubs is 4-5mths old I'll buy the next one up, there are some really good ones around that will do from NB till they are 5, and not hideously over priced either
Umm not 100% on the clothing - guess it all depends on how big your bubs will be. My sister told me to have a few Premmie outfits (so I have 6 I think) cause even her 8lbr wore prem stuff for a couple of weeks. Being summer I'm not too worried if we dont have a tonne of clothing because the sun shall be shining & drying my clothes everyday if need be Plus no baby is going to notice if they've worn the same outfit over and over hehe
Looks like it's going to be hot here today as well, hoping to escape work a bit early as I'm off to Auckland to go to the P&C show tomorrow.... and shop till I drop. Hope Dad can be pressured into giving me a foot rub!

goodcoffeemum and kiwineece. The Auckland based Mums from this forum are getting together at 10.00am at Parenting Place in Greenlane on Tuesday 11 October 2011. It will be the first time many of us have met each other in person. You and any other children you might have are welcome to attend. Just let me know by return post if you are keen.

Hey All,
OMG is anyone else getting really bad leg cramps at night. Not nice.
Cleary Clan - would love to be part of the coffee group but am still working for another couple of weeks so will just keep in touch for when I am off.
Hope everyone had a good weekend....did anyone go to the parent and child show in Akl....I found it pretty good but it was the first one I have been too so nothing really to compare it too.

I woke up this morning with cramps in my legs - but only when I bent them
Yup did the P&C show - COMPLETELY Filled my sisters pram (to the point the 9mth had to be carried around in my sisters sling). Felt a lil sick over how much money I'd spent but We'd been saving for me to do a massive shopping day - and its been years since I've really splurged.
But other than the foam topper for the change table we just need our bubba to make an appearance so we can start using it all
Was meant to catch up with my cousin who's due date was exaclty a month before mine - but 10mins before she was due to leave her house to meet us at her Mum's, her waters broke! Still hanging out for some news
