    Actually I just prefer not calling the midwife as frankly she was a miserable moo... barely smiled at any point - oh and she never asked OH to leave the room to check I wasn't suffering from domestic abuse or anything! I thought they were supposed to do that? :confused:

  • Hiya All!

    Congrats on your blue bump MFD & glad that SB is ok too :)

    Just wanted to come on & say ..

    Happy Due Date to me !!! :j:j

    No sign of baby though ..:mad:
    Everyone was convinced I would go early because of the size of my bump & now I'm so chuffed that I have prepared myself for another 2 weeks of this! Well at least I have a sweep on Thursday (although I'm really nervous about having this done!! :eek:) which is where they will book me for an induction too.

    It's also my birthday on Monday 20th October & I'm really hoping baby will come on that day.. If it does then the DOB will be 20/10/08... my DOB is 20/10/80 so will be really special if this happens :D

    So excited now! Nearly there.

    Ticklepenny did you get it at hospital then as you had your scan today? And was there a reason they scanned you so early?

  • MrsTine - I got mine when I went for my 12 week scan. TBH I am not sure that it is anything worth worrying about :confused: as far as I remember I think I just had a massive moan about all the extra !!!! that I had to throw away - as if I don't get enough junk mail in the first place :rolleyes:




    Oooo look - the MSE filter doesn't like c rap any more than I do!!!

    LOL thanks MFD - I will wait for the scan in that case :D it's only a few weeks away anyway so it's no biggie :)
    At the moment I've applied for every freebie under the sun so no doubt I'll be inundated with junk mail too LOL

  • Oh yes - let the junk mail begin!

    We have the nosiest neighbours in the world and I was purposefully not telling them that I was expecting and hiding my bump with a strategically placed bag or coat etc.

    Then at 18 weeks I received a load of mail that said on the envelope 'Are you looking forward to your 20 weeks scan?' - bl00ming neighbours came into the porch to collect mail and push it through into the house so the game was completely given away :mad:

    phew finally caught up! Haven't been on since friday morning as been sick as the proverbial dog ever since! _pale_ I'm finding that being hungry makes it much worse but the inclination to eat has disappeared so have to keep reminding myself to eat which is no longer a fun thing! I'm living off toast, oven chips, mash, and almost plain pasta fresh air helps a bit so dragged myself out with DS yesterday to feed the ducks which are only 2min walk away but its raining today :(
    I wasn't feeling anywhere near as bad as this at this stage with DS so wondering if it could be a girl and strangely feeling a bit sad at the thought of a pink bump, I didn't realise how much I wanted another boy, although I think its because we've already picked a boys name and have been talking about a little brother for chris for months and months. makes me want to find out at the 20wk scan even more now (hubby wants a surprise:rolleyes:)

    Mrs Tine: did you say a nuchal fold scan is £180 in your area?:eek: blooming postcode lottery! it only takes about 10 mins extra on the scan and is free up ere in wonderful wigan - wish I earned that much for 10mins work!!
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
