Can't remember when I got mine searching... But my Mum insisted I couldn't keep it at home and had it at her house filling with cigarette smoke! Funnily enough nobodies batted an eyelid that it's now sitting under my stairs waiting for this baby... Probably because it's a pile of tosh

Yikes, I thought we'd been told off and closed for good this time - didn't we change to No4 after a telling off too?! I so know we're going to be on No9 by the time I finally leave!

I finally feel like I've popped now - got a bump right from the start of the day and not just in the evenings now. OH was talking to our CEO earlier and me being pregnant came up in conversation.. He was very surprised and ran off to tell our Chief Ops Officer who looked at him blankly and said "Yes, I know - I thought you did too?!". I thought he knew already too - I see him about ten times a day and he's been making comments to me for the last three or so weeks about dry toast being good for sickness and "taking care in my condition".. if he didn't know I was pregnant, what on earth did he think was wrong with me?! :eek: :rolleyes:

Have decided I definitely need to order some new work trousers - no way can I do up my size sixs (wearing today due to forgetting to wash my others and they're being held together with an elastic band!) and have to undo my size eights when I'm sat at my desk cos they dig in the wrong place. Also going to clear out my wardrobe at the weekend and get rid of all the work clothes I haven't worn for ages - that should leave me with a hell of a lot of room and about two pairs of trousers and four tops!

I hadn't thought about it before but my GP and midwife are based at the surgery in the village I used to live in and I'll give birth in the hospital in the town I live in now (although to be fair, I'd have ended up at that hospital anyway). I'm allowed to stay registered at the surgery in the village on the understanding I won't be able to request a home visit from either the doctor or midwife. Once I've given birth, I'll get home visits from the midwives at the hospital. Which got me thinking.. where will the health visitor come from who I get signed over to once the midwives stop visiting?! Do I need to get registered with a new doctors at about 30wks to make sure I end up with a health visitor too? Eeekk.. something else to organise.

OH's best mate is here for their weekly game of squash. I've mentioned him before - the one who went off on one when OH tried to put the idea in his head to by his own wife an xmas present.. I do believe Sami called him "precious" at the time! Anyway.. he's an !!!!!! I've just mentioned the above about the HV to OH and his best mate has started ranting about how HVs know nothing... Grrrr!! Hardly going to take that as gospel from the worst father I know! :mad:

Annoyed now.. going to find chocolate!

i recommend registering at a new GP practice in plenty of time - it can take a few weeks to get your medical records. How far is the GP practice away?
It might be worth ringing the HV and see if she covers your area - they are often attached to practices so if you are further away she might not come out.

No I don't have a link, its just what my midwife was saying the other day when we were chatting, she says that 5cm either way is still within normal limits and of course its an unreliable measure anyway because it is affected so much by the way baby is lying, the way you are carrying etc.

I suppose if you are consistently measuring less than they expect that might be of more concern, I'm measuring 2.5 cm more than my weeks so we were talking about how big my last baby was and whether I can expect this one to be a whopper.

Its lovely having the same midwife for 2 pregnancies, I was talking to her about all the differences in care we have noticed on the thread and she was joking that on the midwives thread they have a good moan about those of us who always forget to bring a sample (considered my wrists slapped after that!)

Elle I did call him "precious"
on the HV front My HV from old GPs was happy to visit as they cover a wider area than MWs but I couldn't register Chris at my old surgery (and didn't want to either) so if that tell you anything there you go :rotfl: I don't know where i was going with that!
