Well, I got up feeling fine, dropped kids off, went to college, felt fine. My class were doing a raffle today in aid of two cancer charities so we all met at the reception area. Then I took a dizzy turn, so sat down, got some fresh air, had another, had some food and had yet another so at 10am I decided to go home. Came home, slept till 12.30, got up still dizzy (staggering and everything). BP is fine, I checked it. DH started wrok at 3pm so he went and collected kids early from school and nursery. Not so dizzy now, but all round my bump feels sore, kinda like diareah cramps without the diareah.

Am I the only person who doesn't give a flying F about weight gain? :rotfl: It's the last thing on my mind to worry about! I got fat after having DS1 even though I really did eat normal (compared to not eating at all before I fell pregnant) and when pregnant I was walking 2 miles a day, same as after I had him (walked into town 1.2miles and home to get away from MIL) and I still got fat.

AM, is the induction with a VBAC same all over? They only burst waters and give you the drip, no gel or pessary? Must ask my consultant next time I see her, I'm in the VBAC crowd

I have my notes from both births (requested them when we took them to court over Chris) and it's scary reading (with pages missing).

Good news! I got mine back yesterday and was 1:652, which I thought was very good til I read your post!

I thought mine were good til I just heard from someone's who was even lower!!

Will be telling the parents tonight (finally mum can stop giving me grief over these damn flights) and then probably tell work on Monday.
MIL, FIL, BIl and GF coming over next weekemd so I will get pampered and waited on for 2 whole days - I can't wait.

I have done nothing this afternoon! But havnt stopped either?!? Whats that all about? Was supposed to make a list for hospital bag...cannot find any motivation for that though and I know I need to buy loads for it

OH will be home in an half an hour and then we'll be up painting again till all hours! Last night it was after 9pm and the night before it was after 10pm and all I want to do tonight is curl up on the sofa and sleep!!! This is doing my heartburn no good either, cos were not flipping eating til were done - then Im falling asleep half an hour later!
Dont get me wrong OH is telling me all night to go and chill but I cant sit there and watch him working and me doing nothing! Oh well I might get a rest once bebe arrives :rotfl:

On the bright side the house is looking good, but feels as if its taking ages to make progress! Hopefully will finish white washing all the fresh plaster by tomorrow night, thats all of down stairs and hall and stairs! The picking the colours up this weekend to do it all again next week! :rolleyes: We should have taken time off from work to do this but oh well!

Right well will be back tomorrow to catch up x x x

Oh yeah amd regarding weight gain - my MW didn't weigh me at all so I said I was about 8.5 stone. On Monday though I was 8! So I was either less to begin with or I've lost weight since then!

Boobs getting bigger - probably an E cup but they don't weigh much at all.
Even when I was a H cup and had the tissue removed to drop down to a DD, they only removed 400grams of tissue from each breast!

Should of multi-posted but can't be !!!!!d soz.

Thanks for mat clothes updates. I will probably just need two pairs of jeans now and will get some skirts for the summer. I forgot about a pair of jeans going on eBay at 3.15pm today and missed out by 50p! Was gutted!

Will just get tops from H&M then! I didn't even go to the Next at Gemini how bad is that! I went to Mothercare by pizza hut and then to St Helens Next.

I am loving maternity leave!!!! {Not the crappy dusty part of having builders in doing the loft extension etc}

Yesterday was gardening in the gorgeous weather, now got the Best of Stereophonics blasting away as I am painting the nursery ceiling!!! Just got one of the builders to help me put the two costs on their ends so can work around them - thank god we have a sizeable third bedroom which was laways going to be a nursey but thankfully is big enough for two of them! :j

She did say ''in this hospital'' so I'm not sure if it's the same for other areas, best having a word, I feel a bit let down tbh that it's taken 35 weeks to find out the simplest of things that involve a VBAC.

My consultant was shocked when I asked if I had to have another section. She is all for VBAC's and she said that an induction would be fine (but didn't go into detail as to how this woudl happen). I'm not bothered how it happens, if I am induced then chances are that it will be because my BP has went up which means an automatic epidural anyway (epidurals lower BP) :j

I'll be looking forward to your bs

Not sure if it's already been mentioned on here but Aprils Pregnancy & Birth magazine has 2 free soothers in it if you buy it from Morrisons

Hey-Just thought i would nip into your baby thread to ask a question if its ok?

I was wondering,where pregnant ladies such as yourselves would buy something baby related from,if it were used/second hand etc? Is it Ebay only..or are there other selling places that sell baby stuff to?

Im asking because ive got two large items to sell and dont really want to go down the Ebay route ... So were wondering if there were any other sites that i would be likely to get a good responce on?
The items are a swinging crib that was only used once. And a very large luxury moses basket that was imported from germany when i had my son. It goes up to 9 months of age. They sell similar ones on ebay now for hundreds of pounds-so one of you might of seen the type i mean. Obviously it was used but still looks like new to be honest.There in my mums attic and she is whinging on at me to get them out of her way ...:rolleyes:

Any ideas would be great on sites/places to sell. Thanks.
