I’m 37 weeks and FED UP of the labour prep. I just want to lie down and rest but then I remember oh I haven’t done any of my hip opening exercises or gone on a walk or ate some dates. I’ve given up on the raspberry leaf tea there’s no way I can drink 4 cups of that a day.

The most I feel like doing the last few days is sitting on my yoga ball 😂 I don’t even want to cook dinners anymore or do anything. The nesting energy has truly left the party.

RANT over

Hey,
Just wondering do I need to put down my child’s name early for the ECCE years, like playschool/montissori?

I know people need to do this for full time crèche places however we work opposite shifts so no need for full time crèche.

Found out today that the hospital forgot to give me my anti D injection. I’m now 33 weeks so have to bring it up at my next clinic but if I didn’t have a growth scan and the lady ask me I probably would have never received it.

I remember getting bloods which are meant to check the rhesus factor of baby but they came back inconclusive and it wasn’t mentioned again.

I got anti D with my 1st baby.

I’m A- but partner isn’t 100% sure of his rhesus factor.

Feel a bit pissed off even though baby is more than likely rhesus -. Like what do you mean you forgot to book that in for me?!

Was planning to ask to be signed off at 34 weeks however I’m seeing the doctor today 32+3 instead due to hospital want me to see the GP sooner than expected.

Is it possible to ask them to sign me off from 34 weeks? Or will I need to make another appointment? Tbh I could do with finishing up now. Office job but currently lifting heavy 15kg bags from floor to desk and then on to a cart while also dealing with sciatica 😵‍💫

This is my 2nd baby but 8 year gap and next to mes weren’t a thing it was Moses baskets. Got a Snuzpod 4 2nd hand and currently trying to figure out what way I can set up my bedside.

It seems like no room at all because of the bedside table, then next to me and then I’d have to wiggle down to the end of the bed which I don’t fancy doing immediately post partum 🤣

Like I need the bedside table to have my water bottles, snacks, changing bits etc.

How do other people have it set up without your only exit route to be the very very end of your bed 😭
