I feel like my belly has finally popped (18 weeks) , but it could also be the fact the “baby” has decided it really likes Ben and Jerry’s
Can’t eat most of the shite served in hospitals anyway honestly some of the worst food I’ve ever seen has been while in with my babies. My poor sister was in for two weeks after her birth and the food was so inedible my mum had to cook her dinners and bring them up!You don’t have the option of a private room where I am private is basically still sharing with 3 others and it’s totally pointless my husband thinks I’m a total weirdo but I’m the type of person that wouldn’t be able to eat anything if my surroundings smelt like the maternity hospital
Oh god the foodCan’t eat most of the shite served in hospitals anyway honestly some of the worst food I’ve ever seen has been while in with my babies. My poor sister was in for two weeks after her birth and the food was so inedible my mum had to cook her dinners and bring them up!
Ahh mine is on Thursday! I've accepted to try the sweep, I'm intrigued how it'll go if nothing happens before then. How are you feeling? I completely feel you on the messages! Its so frustrating, even if I say I'll let you know if there is news I get another message xI'm still here too. Absolutely no signs, no cramps or anything, but I feel like I need another 9 months to prepare myself anyway so I'm not in any rush. Next midwife appointment is Friday at 40+5, she's said she'll offer me a sweep, but I'm undecided.
The tone in my response to people asking if there's any news is getting more passive aggressive by the hour though!
Same here, they tried to encourage me to go to the social room where everyone could get breakfast but I literally sat alone counting for my husband to get back. I get why they do it but it’s not for meYou have to put your orders in now with your birth partners, that's their most important job. With my first I sent him to McDonald's and my second I made him go get me a Costa sausage toastie. They were the best meals I've ever had. Hospital food is bleurgh. And at our trust they did this weird bonding thing where they laid the breakfast out on a table at the end of the ward and we had to self serve to get us chatting I drew all my curtains around me
My boobs are unfortunately not small...I would love a smaller chestI had a home water birth with my son , 9 years ago ! I just wore a bikini top , I don't have large boobs though and they didn't grow either
Is anyone planning a home birth ? I will be

Saying that, I was induced at 8am following having stayed the night ‘incase a spot came free’ and I had the BEST buttered toast and coffee following my waters being popped.
I had a student midwife do mine and she did it, and then squealed ‘that the first time I’ve ever managed to do it!!’ glad she said after, not before so perhaps I was just relieved she didn’t stab my son
Yeah I mean I'd been in labour since 7pm the night before, given birth at 3am, had about 2 hours of broken sleep in 48 hours. I was in no shape for talking to anyone whilst wearing an adult nappy. Just give me my cornflakes and be gone from my personal space.Breakfast bonding sounds painful I’m all for making new friends but does anyone really want to do that just before/after giving birth!? I’d be one of the women pulling the curtains too haha
I was saying earlier we are so so lucky that the hospital local to us have no wards at all. It's all private rooms as standard with en suite. It honestly made a world of difference. Being able to have that privacy was brilliant. Esp when it came to using the loo and showering.Yeah I hear ya it's not very nice I paid for a private room could not think of anything worse than being in a ward with shared bathrooms etc
Yeah that's so good!! Wish ours didn't have wards, there's only a few private rooms for £100 a night but totally worth it!! Will be doing it again in July if one is availableI was saying earlier we are so so lucky that the hospital local to us have no wards at all. It's all private rooms as standard with en suite.

If ours only had wards I would 100% book the private room.Yeah that's so good!! Wish ours didn't have wards, there's only a few private rooms for £100 a night but totally worth it!! Will be doing it again in July if one is available
Toast and tea standard after birth treat haha!!If ours only had wards I would 100% book the private room.
The food wasn't too bad when I was in hospital....the toast was spectacular
Your hospital sounds suspiciously like mine does it also have a subway xI am literally so anti social you wouldn’t catch me dead at breakfast buffet bonding, no way. I know there’s a costa at the front of the hospital, I’ll be stood in that queue in my nightie lol
Just had one of these they’re my new obsession, sooo goodIf anyone loves fruity things you must get the Rowntrees ice lollies omg
The rowntrees watermelon ice lollies are incredible alsoJust had one of these they’re my new obsession, sooo good
Physically I’m fine! Mentally is another story, had a cry this morning about labour, not being able to cope with a baby etcAhh mine is on Thursday!
