Laura - you're so right about the make up - I obviously don't really wear it at school as teaching PE there's no real point but I've just bought some bluff dust and bluff concealer by benefit (bloody expensive) but think it'll help me - even if its in my head (if you know what I mean) When I went to antenatal class today I wore it and thought that I had sort of a mask on so know one could see my red face. I know that sounds sad, and I probably wasn't even red but it made me feel better!
Jess - I think the redness started off as anxiety then I started blushing when people asked me literally anything or when I was embarrassed. Then it got so bad I'd panic over going red which made me go red - so its just got so bad. I now try and leave an area if I feel it coming on, but can't always do that especially when I'm in a meeting or teaching!!
I'm going to get back on my anti d's after the pregnancy cos they made me feel so much better. I was on a real low dose though in the end. I guess I just need to start the process again on pills and gradually ween myself off.
Think I might look into that boots correction stuff - might be cheaper.
Laura - that is sweet - you and bump. I'm quite similar to Amy - can't quite imagine life with a baby at the moment so no bonding has taken place!! I'm sure it'll all change though!
Just seen the thread about partners drinking - I'm never going to get hubby to give up drink at the weekend. I will end up getting a cab I bet ya - and on xmas day!!!!!!

That's very sweet Laura. Wish I felt that way but I just don't. Can't get my head around the fact that it's a baby I'm growing tbh. Sure it'll wear off once she's born though.

Hi girls
Steph - although its prob a nervous thing that causes the redness with me, I am sooo much better when I wear make-up - the key for me is to wear a green (!!!) base under my foundation - its made to even out skin tones - I then put on the foundation and everything as usual - but half the time, because I know Ive got the base on and the red wont show, I dont blush! Might be worth a try if youve not used it before, I boots number 7 - think its called colour corrective cream.
Ive had a nice day, made my dad a birthday cake and felt pretty good today, even did some housework!! Still made time this afternoon to do our music therapy - I pay some nice tunes to peanut and we have some time where I totally focus on her and touch my bump and stuff - I really think she likes it too - just helps me bond I think.
Oh girls, I really dont want her to come until shes ready but Im soooo looking forward to giving her a kiss and cuddle... sometimes I sit here crying because I am so scared something will still go wrong, and I already love her so much.
Sorry girls, just an emotional day today for some reason....

Hiya Steph!
It can bring labour on but only if baby is ready apparently, which is why they wont do it till 37 weeks. im hoping it'll do something lol
What starts the red face thing off? is it when you think about it or when someone mentions it? maybe it a hormone thing?
20/11/08 17:01
Jess - is that supposed to bring on labour???
I've just had my last antenatal class - but knew it all again. (Not being a smart arse!) I've met a girl who seems to be on my wave length so might text her - see if I can make myself buddy!! (Feel like a school kid again!)
Thank god its Friday tomorrow - need a weekend!!! But I've got a cricket meal on Friday night and a 30th bday party on saturday - what if I go bright red?? Actually I should say - what am I going to do WHEN and EVERY time I go red? Why am I stressing myself so much over this? I'm stressing and getting anxious over going red - so it'll happen. Will somebody please shoot me????
20/11/08 16:33
Woohoo ive booked my reflexology for next friday 1pm! yay im very excited!
20/11/08 15:23
Right I've been slightly productive! The window cleaner came so I had to get dressed a bit smarter to pay him so will now be going to Tesco otherwise there's nothing for tea.
I've ordered my wedding stationary samples and booked my mum and I in for a spa day at centre parks in Longleat on December 2nd. Would love an aromatherapy back massage-bring on the clary sage!!!!!!!! lol But lying on front is now massive problem!!! heh heh
Off to Tesco now.
20/11/08 14:07
Hmmm Em she doesnt sound that nice at all really...!
Im also banned from doing anything like that! i have to ask dp to do everything and it does my head in, mind you im supposed to be ironing this afternoon and i just cant be bothered, im too sleepy!
My movements are mainly bottom left.. i assume thats her hands and top right, so i assume there her feet... the lower movements make me cringe cos its like she's tickling my hip bone!
20/11/08 13:59
Trying to lift my arse off of this chair and go to Tesco but don't think I can be bothered. Wanted to get into the loft and hunt through what I've got left up there but DF has banned me! Hate asking him to do things though 'Yeh, I'll do it in a minute' or 'Okay, later' Arrgghh so annoying
So I've promised him that I'll not go in there if he doesn't fob me off with an excuse later. But now just bored.20/11/08 13:53
No i havent mentioned it, mainly cos shes been lovely too me in general (a bit unsympathetic to the loss i had she was my mw for that one too) and when ive rung her over bleeding, etc ive had to get in such a state for her to do anything and when i rung when the baby last stopped moving she was so flippant and quite rude which really upset me. So i dont see the point tbh cos she doesnt seem that bothered and when i asked her about booking the birthing suite she said it will have to wait til the next appt (i'll be 37+1) so dont go into labour before then. So i doubt she'll be interested anyway.
Mine moves left to right too Ami but weekly last week he was on the left and the week before he was on the right lol.

Hi all...
Em have you mentioned your pains to your MW? just wondered if maybe they'd keep a closer eye on you with your ds being early.
Its been really quiet on here today, my work friend has just gone, she popped round for a coffee and a gossip, seems im not missing much at work!
20/11/08 12:53
Mine still swops sides from right to left on a regular basis. Was lying on my left for a long time, then to my right for scan but think she's gone back to left
20/11/08 12:49
How is everyone?
Took my ds to soft play earlier and had constant lower back pain the whole time we were out. They went again just before i got in the car and its back now and im so fed up of it. I think its got worse over the last couple of days and bubs is making strange movements. Hes down my right side (i know cos theres a lump where his bum is lol) and i feel a movement from up by my ribs all the way down to my pubic bone so god knows what hes doing

I'm up and about now !!
Haven't missed much then eh?!!
Got my blend all mixed, ready for contractions!!!
Work was fine, a bit busier than Sat. but hey ho! Probably my last night shift til after baby is here.
20/11/08 10:11
Hope your shift was ok Amy, did you manage to mix up your labour blend?
19/11/08 20:05
Off to work soon. Got to try and persuade DF to do the perinial massage now, can't be asking my colleague to do it later can I?!!!!! Imagine
!!!!On to 2 cups of rlt daily now. Yummy!
Might take my aromatherapy stuff with me tonight and make up my labour blend when it's quiet!
19/11/08 19:50
Steph you need to finish work now and join in the daily chat lol then you wont have to catch up
I have packed 1 pack of nappies in the babies bag, think theres 27 in there, i too want a short stay but im happy to stay 1 or 2 nights till i have established breastfeeding and feel happy to 'go it alone' lol
Im mentioned to the mw today id had a few niggles, just in conversation when she asked me how my hips were.. and she reminded me they can mean NOTHING lol which i obviously know, but its nice to think ooohhhhhh I wonder.... im babbling now arent i
19/11/08 19:12
Steph-im taking in one pack cos if i need more df can bring them in if i have to stay for a while. Im happy to stay one night as it will be good to get my head round everything and have a little rest before going home as im sure ds will be a handful when his little brother arrived. I had to stay in for 48 hours with ds as his blood sugar kept dropping due to him being early.
Ive been getting pains too getting sick of it now and am more than ready for him to make an entrance. Dont know what you'll do about names hopefully he'll arrive and he'll look like a ........ iyswim. Youve only got 6 weeks after the birth to register him so hopefully you'll have something or he'll end up as baby boy lol x
19/11/08 18:52
You girlies need to slow down.......... I've just had to read 3 pages of threads I've missed just from today!!!
Laura - hope your feeling better.
Jess - nappies, I've only got 3 packs of 27 at the moment. How many do you take into hossie, I only want to be in for te shortest time possible. And as for you not wanting your little girl born on xmas day - ME TOO!!! Wish it wasn't its due date!!!
I've had niggly pains all day - think I've been on my feet too much and now I'm knackered. The baby is making strange shapes still - ouchy in my ribs!!!
Me and Simon still arguing over names - Its going to be interesting when the little one comes out!!! Baby no - name!!!!
Jess- shes really nice face to face but not the rest of the time. Pains have worn off now i just want either no pain at all or full blown labour lol. Getting fed up of is this it?
Dont know whether to have reflexology i think if i havent had him by 38 weeks i'll book an appt. Hoping he comes before then (as long as hes ready). i feel the same Laura but tbh i think i want to get on with it so i can see how ds is about it and get on with life feel like its on hold at the min. I want to have my 2 gorgeous little boys to adore lol. Thats another thing that scares me actually i know people say you will but i worry that i wont love him as much as i love ds its so overwhelming and the love i have for him has grown so much over the last 2.5 years so worry that he'll need to "grow on me" iyswim lol.
Steph-i used to have a bit of anxiety when i was at school and had a lot of problems with blushing and the more i worried the worse it got. I do think a lot of it is in the mind but you havent got long to go and you can go back on the anti ds. As hard as it the only thing you can do is try not to worry about it. Not much help i know
