sugarspunsister- slightly less evil videos...
one I kind of hope that if I have one it is like this!

That first one seemed quite easy! Anyone else notice the mass of pubic hair?!!! Good God, I'll have OH down there with my electric razor before I let things get THAT wild down there.

Well, I did it! Got my Changing Bag free from Boots and guess what else?

Newborn nappies x 27 - 2 packs for £6. I had a £1 off but didn't think they would take that and the free bag voucher but they did so £5!! THEN, when rummaging for my Advantage Card I found a really old Boots Giftcard - asked her to check how much was on there...............£5.38 so I didn't actually have to take any money out my purse or my bank account!!!
And bag matches my M&P pushchair and carseat!!

Welcome Wriggles!!! :hello: We'll have Christmas babies very soon!!!

Hiya gang, havn't read back yet as Im so excited to get off my chest that Ive had my scan today and been put forward 2 days so Im 12 weeks today!!:j
Scan was amazing, baby is fine,the sonographer told it off for not keeping still, he/she was waving arms and kicking legs. Wow I'd forgotten how amazing it is when you see your baby for the first time! I'll get pic uploaded later if anyone wants to see. Im trying to see the 'nub' but can't see one. Told the kids straight after..cue lots of excitement and arguing over wanting a brother or sister (dd wants sister ds wants a brother!) Then went and met up with a group of friends and their kids at a pub with soft play bit attatched and had a nice meal and told them all the happy news..cue LOTS more excitement and squealing and teary friends! So Im wacked now!!
Right off to read back what I missed

Yay, so pleased for you! Would love to see the pic if you get the chance to upload it!

Thanks for those vids ticklepenny, I'd never seen that 1st one - I definitely want one like that! :j

A natural breech birth should always be an option. But I just don't think that midwives have the same experience in delivering breech babies that they had 20/30 years ago thanks to the rise in c-sections. And whilst I'd love to champion the whole natural approach and not be another Mum copping out and adding to their lack of experience. I'm not confident enough to do it (in the leaflet the hospital gave me 'When your baby is breech' it states a three fold increase in infant mortality and serious damage compared to natural head down vaginal births).

I know it can be done really successfully and I've even read that breech births can be less painful and less traumatic to the baby than head first ones! I just would never forgive myself if anything happened knowing that I'd read those stats and put Bubs at extra risk because I chose not to have a c-section - which statistically doesn't seem to carry extra risk for the baby (just me!)

So, if the ECV isn't successful, I'm afraid it's an elective for me. I'm just not brave enough.

The MW that I saw at booking in was the head of midwifery at my local hospital said that MW's often tell people that 'can't' have things because they themselves are unfamiliar with them. I asked about using a birthing pool and she said it was usually empty because the MW's don't like them cos they can't be as 'hands-on' as usual.

I think they will eventually get used to us pg ladies doing research on these things and not taking their word for it. Guess we have to stand up for ourselves and put our foot down with a firm hand!

Candice - hugs to you but what does gbs mean?

After reading the other thread about the C section on here - I had a nightmare last night but don't think it's appropriate to share as it was quite freaky (not in a sexual way or anything ) and I don't wanna scare anyone!

Sugar I'm with you on this one Well kind of... I'll be in the inbetween camp... I'd like them to try a natural birth but if at any point what so ever they recommend elective for the sake of the baby then that's what we'll go with... I will tell them though that I'd like to know what the options are for going natural with the breech before agreeing but if they say that they wouldn't recommend it then I trust them to know their skills better than I do not to mention them being professionals at this baby delivery lark and I'm certainly not At there is a real possibility Roo is breech (she feels breech to me still but I guess she still has time to turn? ) then it's something I have to consider

Thank you ... my son was 12 days late, so this one could well be a Christmas baby if it's stubborn and lazy like its big brother :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I can't stop looking at my scan pics, Ive convinced myself I can see a winky but surely 12 weeks is abit too early for there to be one there already?!
Im going to make spaghetti on toast for my tea then I'll put pic up for you to look at.

Thanks for the hugs Glam, GBS is Group B Strep, its an infection that apparently lots of people have and dont know about but it can be passed to baby in birth and can be a problem for them - small chance of fatalities if not detected - its not as bad as this sounds.

I had a Urine sample sent off after 3rd Uti and then just got results in post with small leaflet saying GBS ALERT administer IV antibiotics.

Have done some homework and would seem the GBS charity wants everyone to be checked so I consider myself lucky for knowing (not lucky for having, of course!!) Anyway seems the done thing is to be in hosp early to go on 1 or more 4 hour antibiotic sessions during labour and def as soon as waters break BUT mw's keep telling me dif things???!!!

evening everyone. :beer:

welcome newbies.. 15 dec already for a edd!! :j

thanks for all your comments btw regarding finding out if a boy or girl :T. after a lot of thinking in work i decided to go along with hubby, we would find out and not tell anyone. afterall you can say she/he but no-one need know for definite. so came in from work and told hubby. and he said 'well we'll see on the day'. i think cos i said we wouldnt be able to show anyone the scan picture threw him as he loves showing that!! so at the mo we are back to not finding out and i am not mentioning it again till we get nearer the time (4 weeks)
i do appreciate everyones comments. i think at times he feels a bit left out cos i can feel flutters but he cant feel anything yet. i think once he can feel the kicks and movements he will feel a lot more involved. he does talk to my stomach a lot though which makes me love him even more.
