She usually posts every day............maybe the little girl has arrived ???
Hi my good friends, I'm still here, just been either too busy or too tired to turn on the computer. I guess I've had that nesting thing going on. Although I never planned to still be living here when she arrived, it looks like I still am. And my mother is supposed to be coming to stay, and I had sudden panic attacks about the little clues of my secret past left lying around. I had to empty out every cupboard, and go through all the bags and boxes. Glad I did. I found two needles, and a huge stash of subutex. I filled a carrier bag with the subutex! I'm planning on taking them back to the chemist to get rid of them. I guess in the back of my mind, I was hanging onto them "just in case". In case of what, I'm not sure. I probably reckoned that there's money in class A medication, and I should sell them to some hapless junkie. But the reality is I don't see many of my old friends, and that behaviour is part of a life I left behind. I got a kid about to be born. There's no going back, so I'll just hand them in like a good girl.
And I never quite thought he'd be like this, but the boyfriend seems to be doing some nesting of his own. He had central heating installed last week, put all new work tops in the kitchen and replaced the handles on the cupboards. He's bought a new shower for the bathroom, and I talked him out of replacing the whole bathroom suite because money is a bit tight. He had a bloke round yesterday to price up having the doors and windows replaced, and as I speak he is painting the back room!
Things at home have been relatively peaceful. As the pregnancy nears it's end I'm having strange dreams. I keep dreaming that I dreamed the whole pregnancy, and waking up thinking I'm not pregnant. Then I put my hand on my belly and feel reassured that she's still there. It's weird, as time goes on, and I still haven't given birth, the whole motherhood thing gets more and more surreal to me. As if it's not going to happen. It somehow doesn't feel real, or imminent. I get this sensation that it will just go like this this forever, with me waddling around the size of a whale, and the baby will never materialise. I get the feeling that I'll never go into labour. I don't even feel impatient anymore. It just feels so far away... It does just feel like a dream. The days pass in a daze, like I'm not really here. I potter about, I sleep, I eat, I watch TV, I read. I've no desire to see anybody or talk to anybody. I sort of feel like I'm behind a veil somehow. I feel uncomfortable, but it doesn't annoy me anymore. I think for the first time in my life, I feel no desire for affection from another human being. I feel like I could spend my days completely alone, without any human contact at all, and it wouldn't bother me. I let the phone go unanswered, I don't reply to my texts and emails. It's a strange sort of peace - I know it sounds a bit like depression, but I don't feel depressed. I just feel detached. There's no knot of anxiety in my gut. There's no pain.
Anyway, that's where I'm at. Is it normal to feel like this?
love

Dear Diff,
From your post..."I got a kid about to be born. There's no going back, so I'll just hand them in like a good girl." That is SO WONDERFUL to hear! So responsible! So clearheaded! So focused!
I'm glad you're enjoying some peace. You sure deserve it. I had a LOT of weird dreams during my pregnancies....especially towards the end. My thoughts about why you don't mind being "alone" is because actually you're not. You and your precious little girl are as close as you can possibly be and her presence to you is constant and evident. You can be assured of her unconditional love for you already, and like I said before...you will be AMAZED just how much you will love her!
My prayers are with you both. I'm anxious to hear the news!
Much love,
Susan

Hi Susan, I remember a friend of mine saying she never felt lonely during her pregnancy. She said that she often felt lonely after her son was born, when her boyfriend was out at work, and she was left at home with her little boy. She struggled with motherhood, mostly because of her drug habit, and her inability to get to grips with life. But I'm not like her. I expect she felt a lot of guilt. I once tried to shock her into getting her act together, by asking her to think what would happen to her little boy if anything happened to her or the baby's dad because of their respective addictions, never mind the damage she was doing to him already because of her chaotic lifestyle, the fact she never had any decent food in the house etc. She put her hands over her ears and refused to even talk about it. That's a long way from where I am... I'm glad.
love

Diff,
This is also the proverbial calm before the storm...like your body is naturally stocking up energy, patience, calm and all the inner strength you possibly can for the upcoming life changing event.
The strange dreams...just your way of expressing that no matter what we do we just dont know what is round the corner.
Best of luck sweetheart

I just have this strong feeling that she's going to be born tomorrow, on the 6th.
"PSYCHIC CYNICAL"
Watch ya be right. Is it a full moon? New moon, Cyn?
Oh I hope you are right. If this dollbaby comes on the feast of "BRYN'S BIRTHDAY" well you know the constant attention of people far and wide telling her of her beauty and intelligence can be very tiresome. Haaaaaaa.
No matter. Baby Diff being a Pisces is awesome.

Hi all, cynical one, you weren't the only person to get in touch on the 6th to tell me they had a "feeling". It's also my grandmothers birthday - my last surviving grandparent. She told me to aim for the 6th, and my friend Victoria was ring and texting me like mad coz she was convinced that I was going to drop on the 6th. But I didn't get that feeling. I went and had my hair done, coz I wanted a pick me up to make me feel beautiful again, in preparation for imminent slimness! LOL! But whilst having my hair coloured, the fire alarms went off and I had to go and stand outside in the street with a load of tin foil stuck to my head. My appointment was at 9.30, and I didn't get out until nearly 3pm! Anyway, the hair looks... um... different. I decided to go dark for the first time in my life, so I had it dyed chocolate brown with iridescent red low lights, and it's been straightened to within an inch of it's life, so compared to the blonde curls I'm used to, it looks a bit "Morticia" to me! But it's growing on me. Hair tends to do that - lol! And during my hair appointment marathon, it did occur to me that it perhaps wasn't the best idea I've ever had - I kept worrying what would happen if my waters broke half way through dying my hair!
Anyway, I've got a very strong feeling that the baby will be born on the 9th. Dates seem to have huge significance in my life, and there is always a feeling of continuity. I can't get over the fact that my boyfriend and my ex-boyfriend both share the same birthday, and it happens to be the Winter Solstice - and I was born on the first day of summer. I know this sounds daft, but the 9th March is my doggies 9th birthday. He's pretty old for a male rottie, and he's been having some problems. His back legs shake all the time, and it's getting worse and worse. I know that his days are coming to an end. It inevitable. I woke up crying this morning, dreaming that I was holding him as he died, and singing a lullaby to him. You all know how I feel about "the universe" and how you need to have faith, and in your darkest hours, a light will find you. To a lot of people a dog is just a dog, but my dog has always been much more to me than that. He's been my body guard, my best friend, and often my reason for living. I've had tough times in the past, and I've probably got tough times ahead (who hasn't?). I think the universe knows that I need that unconditional love, and I need that reason for living. That's why I feel quite strongly that my baby will be born on March 9th, as it represents continuity, and tells me I will never be without love. We'll have to wait and see... even if it isn't March 9th, all of the above will still stand.
Anyhoo, after my haircut yesterday I saw my midwife. She said that me and baby are fine, but she thinks the baby is still having trouble getting it's head engaged properly. When I saw the obs, on the 23rd Feb she said that the head was engaged, but somehow in the intervening period, it's become unengaged, which is probably why she's dragging her feet over the whole "being born" business. But I see the OBs on Friday, and the midwife seemed to think that they'll want me back in hospital, and will be inducing me sometime over the weekend. The baby is only going to get bigger, and if she can't get her head down now, then it's only going to get more of a problem. No-one has mentioned the C-section thing to me, and I'm no expert, but I think it's a possibility. But the body is an amazing thing, and maybe my narrow little hips will stretch just enough to let her out. The boyfriend doesn't want her to be born on the 9th, because he has to go to Swansea to have his stitches checked, and then he's off to Cardiff to see 10cc. So if she comes on Friday, he'll miss the birth. Oh well, c'est la vie...
And as for being a Pisces, that feels fitting to me as well. I'm a Gemini - an air sign. The baby's dad is a Sagittarius - a fire sign. Fire consumes air - it needs it to survive. But Pisces is a water sign. Water puts out fire...
We're in chaos here at the minute. The new shower is being fitted, and I would never have believed that fitting a shower would involve so much mess - the bathroom is under about 3 inches of thick dust, and I can't get in to use the loo!
Hopefully I'll be a mum by the weekend!
love

Dear Diff,
Babies do some strange things in there! When Juliet was close to her due date, the baby was in the right position. Then one night she had a lot of what she said felt like cramping pains. She was VERY uncomfortable. Since she was so close to her due date, she was seeing the doctor every week. The doctor said the baby had flipped again. They said if the baby didn't turn back soon, they would either have to have her come in to have them manually turn him/her or consider having a C-section. Fortunately for her, the baby decided to turn around the right way about a week after her due date (which was very uncomfortable (because there was very little room) and stayed that way. Delivery went fine then, thank God.
I had to be induced all 3 times because I have what they call a lazy uterus. It would start into labor and then just stop! That's why I was so late all 3 times. The first two times, the doctors gave me a lot of pit all at one time. Labor came on fast and hard and it was very hard to deal with. I changed doctors for the 3rd baby and this doctor was much kinder and more compassionate. He took it slow making it feel more like a natural labor than an inducement. I preferred that way. Don't be afraid to question what they are doing and give them your input.
You will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers! Very soon you'll be holding your precious daughter. (For some reason I thought 7th so you better get busy! lol)
Love,
Susan

I just had to add that I'm a Sagittarius "my daughter's a Pisces" her dad was a Gemini. My Pisces girl is totally devoted but somewhat overly emotional "to me". She's a wonderful actress she has perfected the art of exaggeration. She adores animals big and little. She thinks she can only wear pink, she don't like jeans. I love having a Pisces daughter she's always up to try new stuff. Sagittarius and Gemini "acording to the charts" are highly compatible... if you belive in that sort of thing. Me and my Gemini "lover" were like fire and water. That relationship was so screwed from the start "but it lasted 8 years".
On to baby stuff I've been feeling the 8th for baby Diff. Can't wait to hear details of her arrival. I hope she comes "without" a c-section it's so much eaiser to heal naturally. I'm so excited to hear how it turns out. Do you know how to use photo bucket? to post a pic of her?. Robbie turned 3 months today. I seem so buzy i never get time to post hardly anymore. I'll be Wishing you a easy labor and delivery "SOON".

Oh in the name of all that is holy, why won't this baby be born! I saw the Obs today. Unfortunately my normal Obs has decided to go to India for a holiday, so I saw this bloke I'd never seen before. How can you trust a MAN with a thing like giving birth! Anyway, he didn't take me in. The baby's head is still not engaged which is highly unusual in a first baby at this late stage. He did an internal and my cervix is closed and thick. He said he wanted my midwife to do a membrane stretch and sweep, and wanted me to go to the maternity day assessment unit on Tuesday, to see if anything has changed.
Anyway, I called my midwife, and she said that she would not be prepared to do the stretch and sweep on me, because she thinks that my pelvis is too narrow and the baby too big, and if my waters broke as a result of the stretch and sweep then it could be very dangerous for me and the baby. So I'm in an awful position, with the Obs that has looked after me throughout the whole pregnancy away, and some bloke who's wanting to take big risks with me and my baby supposedly in charge, and a baby that's too big to get out, and nobody seems to know what to do! I just feel like crying! And I have to wait until Tuesday before I get to go to the maternity ward where somebody might just take the initative and just do what ever is necessary to get my baby born! Good grief - it can't be that complicated. Why don't they just do a c-section and get it over with? I wish my normal Dr was here. She knew what she was doing, and I trusted her.
Anyway, the baby seems unperturbed by all of this and has been practicing her gymnastics all day, which is one reassuring thing. I am more than a little worried though. I just want her out in the open where I can look afer her! I know that my body is looking after her, but I am scared that there are problems that nobody has investigated, like why she isn't engaged. She's been head down for months, and two weeks ago she WAS engaged, but now it's all gone awry, and I feel that she just can't get her head down now, and "just wait and see" doesn't feel like a very good option at all to me at this late stage. If she was going to get her head engaged then surely she would have done it by now, and there has to be some reason why she isn't doing it. I just want my little girl!
Oh, I'm so frustrated!

Diff, so sorry to hear you in such distress. She will be here soon, try to relax. I popped on this thread hoping to hear something too, so it's not just you...we are all on pins and needles for you honey. I live in Cajun country, they would tell you to eat some hot, hot crawfish and that would bring about labor. Hmmm, I may just eat some for you...hahaha.
Hang in there sweetheart, she will pop out when she is ready...

Dear Diff,
I'm sorry for all your distress too. Bless your heart! How long is your regular doctor going to be away? When was your due date? How large do they think the baby is now? Have you had any ultrasounds recently? Wouldn't they be able to tell from that if there is anything preventing your baby from engaging? My daughter's baby had flipped to be bottom down and then she flipped again to be head down. I think since it was so cramped in there when she was doing all that flipping she got tangled in the cord. During labor, my daughter had an epidural and wasn't in much discomfort but she pushed and pushed (it seemed like more than I did for all 3 of my kids) and we could see the head but then she kept going back up in. The widwife came to realize the cord was around her neck and that was hindering progress. I don't say this to traumatize you but I would feel badly if I didn't say something and you had that kind of problem.
I'll keep the prayers coming. I know going late like I did (13, 19 & 22 days late) I felt like a baby whale was inside me but they were 8, 8 1/2 and 9 lbs. They were nice size but not unusually large for these days with the vitamins they give you. The 9 lb. baby wasn't pleasant to birth but I did it.
Love,
Susan

Your having a bad time.... poor Diff. I agree she needs out, I CAN'T say i know the stress of a over due baby "never been there". My doctors got my kids out ALL early. Being i've been pregnant 4 times I can relate to the worry thing. A ultersound is a good way to get a gage on the baby's weight... "maybe she's not as big as they think?" With my 1st son they went by ultersound and said he was 7 pounds 15 ounces "at 35.5 weeks". He was very low on water they held out till 36 weeks he was only 7 pounds 1 ounce. With my daughter they said 7 pounds 9 ounces 36.6 weeks by ultersound she was delivered 6 hours later 7 pounds 1 ounce "low water induction". Robbie's ultersound at 36 weeks low water BUT he was measuring 6 pounds 5 ounces i was put on i.v fluids induced at 37 weeks 0 days 6 pounds 13 ounces!. The ultersounds were RIGHT to within a pound "which is what my doctor said they are usually less then a pound off over or under. If a ultersound showed her large usually they like to get em out of there before they just get bigger. Things in the USA are not the same hardly anyone sees a midwife. Ob's and hospital epidural delivery is sadly the norm. Hopefully things start going right for you.... I know you must be feeling all kinds of crazy emotions.
