I'm starting to think I should have made the effort to buy some of the raspberry leaf tea after all...4hr and 2hr labours sound good to me! Probably a bit late for me now, given that I have only 11 days till due date.

I haven't bothered with the P massage either, but I am probably far too 'stretchy' in that area already:o

Mel - you are looking a bit different...have you had your hair done?

Hi - hope everyone is okay. I will have to peek back through posts and catch up a bit. Things are still a bit insane here at the moment.

FIL is still in hospital - they at one point told us they were going to turn off all machine support for him - then changed their minds! We went through all the agony of facing his passing that afternoon and then didn't. It's been such a rollercoaster - he's still fighting - but they say they don't think he'll recover.

DS2 has had vomiting and diarrhea for the last 4 days - is just finally holding down water and had some banana today. We've been giving him fluids with a medicine syringe round the clock - then I got it as well. Poor DH had to take some time off work as the stress (as well as no sleep) has been unbelievable.

I was told I had GD, so am now testing blood sugars. And they told us our Downs Syndrome risk is 1:12, but the nuchal measurement was 1.6 (which was not included in the risk assessment), so we're waiting for the 20wk scan in 3 wks to see if there are any soft markers for Downs. We wouldn't terminate based on Downs diagnosis anyway, but would like to know in advance if there are any obvious health issues.

Other than that, things here are fine. *sigh*

Take care Triggles. X

Mel, even with 11 days to go I personally would go out tomorrow and get some, see how much you can cope with drinking in a day, think I managed 6 a day in last 2 weeks. I also kept in up just after to help get back into shape, just for a week or so. Anything's worth a go!
