emlou, if you go into labour between now and then, will you have to cancel the appointment? I can't imagine ever remembering to cancel a midwife appointment within a week of giving birth lol.... Mind you, I suppose they'd know when they have to do the community visiting...

I have a load of washing to peg out and just checked metcheck... It says from 12 it's going to be raining, then from 3 it will be sleeting... But it's bright blue skies outside at the minute! Do I risk it or not?!

in theory it should be the same midwife that delivers my baby as i keep seeing so i would hope she would remember herself! no way would i remember to cancel it! its for a sweep so i hope its the same one as i dont really fancy having someone i dont know having a rummage!! they would probably use the booked slot to catch up though i would have thought, they're usually running about a half hour behind!

Good Luck MFD, hope all goes well xx

I think I am still in denial about being pregnant, feel like I am on a rollercoaster, one minute very up and excited the next very low tearful and sure that there is something wrong.

Hopefully 20 week scan will be more reasuring.

Thanks Tink, but already found one from another local MSEr, and I'll be very up for loaning you my stuff when your turn comes!

LOL - I'll hold you to that I've started to get some stuff together but have decided that no more in coming into the house until we start getting rid of the stuff we don't want and have been meaning to clear for years so hopefully this will act as a bit of an incentive now :rolleyes:

MFD - Forgot to add HUGE labour vibes for you today

Good luck MFD - it sounds like this is it to me - sending fast and painfree labour vibes your way.

When mine started this time, it just felt like strong BHicks, with a bit of period pain type backache, so I tried to go to bed. But they kept waking me up, then I noticed that I was waking up exactly every ten minutes. Then tried a bath to ease it, but that seemed to speed things up - then I knew it was time to get to hospital. Waters didn't actually break til baby was born - which I thought was strange!

With DS, there was no doubt as my waters broke at home - contractions didn't start til the next day!

With DD1, i had the BHicks feeling all day, but carried on as normal, went to Tesco's etc. It finally got painful at about 8pm, went to hospital and my waters broke as they examined me, and she arrived just before midnight.

Even with my third, i was worried I wouldn't know when I was in labour - but, it sounds silly, you just know!

CAZ - we had to make an appointment to register Violet, i'm sure we didn't with the first two! (And we got a snotty registrar who said "you do realise he will have full parental responsibility if he's on the birth certificate" - to me, ignoring OH like he wasn't there!!)
And :T :T to you for getting your hair done with a with a two week old baby - mines lucky to get brushed!!

TIAMAI - you just made me check my bank to see if DS had had his extra £60 - and he has, twice!! Any ideas how that's happened? I suppose i'd better phone them!

MrsTinks

Well I've done sweet nothing this morning - guess I better do some washing and hang out the stuff in the washing machine as it's nice weather here and the tumbledrier DOES use too much electricity... it's just... I feel really lazy today lol

But have to go to London tomorrow for my occ health appointment and then docs on friday after dropping my car off for it's service (10,000 miles... that went quick! next one thankfully not for another 30,000 miles!).
So much I ought to do... and I don't fancy doing any of it...

Oh DID do a shop for SIL on Tesco.com - just waiting for DH to call her and confirm she'll be in when I want it booked for. But he's working from home and has been on work calls all morning - for once he's actually WORKING - just SO inconvenient...

Fairydawn, how long until your twenty week scan? I think we all worry there might be something wrong... It's probably because we can't see what's going on inside our bodies!

I had concerns at the beginning because of the medication I was on, but have found that each scan has helped. Feeling him move a lot is the biggest reassurance I think. I was in denial up till quite recently - its only when statistics came on my side and I realised that I was actually very likely to get a baby at the end of all this. I sort of assumed up till then that it'd go wrong.

Lovely to see you here by the way
