I'm ignoring all this talk of constipation 'cos I've barely been off the loo for the last 3 days! Was hoping it might be the start of something exciting, but I think I've just picked up a bug :rolleyes:

Had better ask midwife tomorrow if there's anything I should do other than keep drinking plenty as it'll be day 4 of not keeping anything inside me for more than 45 minutes. If this keeps up, they'll have to put a cork up my bum before attempting the ECV :rotfl:

Had the labour ward tour this evening - anyone else's hospital do this? So hot in there, thought of you Mrs Moc as there was a lady in there who'd been stuck in there for 7 weeks already and still had at least another 3 to go - hope things are brighter for you tomorrow.

Sorry to hear about your carpet shell, fingers crossed it's a nice day tomorrow so you can keep all the doors and windows open and give it a good airing.

Searching, I had a look and I'm pretty sure I sent the HIPG form off around the 24th Jan, hadn't heard anything from them since.... money just appeared in my account today.

SSS, I'm the same. Had DS2's bug for about a week. Wearing pants in bed 'just in case'. Feel terrible with it too.

Still, my face is looking all skinny, forgot I had cheekbones.

Right, I cannot keep my eyes open at all tonight

Catch you all tomorrow
Night

Now I know my bursary has went in (and been transferred to the savings account), I can go to bed.

Night girls, have fun!

Sorry skint but no asking for medical advice I'm afraid Only advice that can be given is contact your GP/Midwife and ask them...
Don't want another thread prematurely closed

Thanks for that - I'll have a look when I next by that way. I really need work tops tho!

I would say the plain ones are fine for office wear provided you're not in the sort of office that requires a shirt/blouse type top IYKWIM
ticklepenny - it does depend on bubba's presentation tho, only feet first breach is do-able, If my bubs decides to spin round to feet first breech I'll still be plumping for a home birth

External Cephalic Version, they attempt to manually turn a breech baby the right way up from the outside. As Sami so eloquently put it: _pale_

I think that must have been how my friends went, she had big bruises all over her bump from it but... it did work and she had a 'normal' labour :T

Ickle when did you apply for your HiPG? Doubt there is much point in me even checking my account yet lol

edit to add - Nope no sign of mine yet but then it's not been more than 2 weeks so I wasn't really expecting it

From what I hear its the people that applied in Jan that are getting paid now, I sent my form mid feb so I'm expecting to get it mid may (assuming they stay 4mths behind)

I was talking about GBS, I've prdered my test kit (which is FREE) my MWs said they'll do the swabs for me if I prefer - I think I'll take them up as embarrassing as it is (vaginal and rectal swabs ) I don't want to do it wrong, you only pay when you actually get the swabs tested and its £32 but IMHO worth it as if it goes un detected bubba could die:eek: all the info is here http://www.gbss.org.uk/

not showing the picture cos if its a boy sometimes you can really see the testicles and little penis....

I've never seen a standard 20wk scan pic show a winky If you asked the sonographer I'm sure they'd make sure you couldn't see on the pic

Also and im sure Sami and someone else has been having problems but i feel as tho my insides are falling out of my foof...sorry TMI but if im on my feet for even half an hour everything swells up and i feel a pressure building up....I asked them to have a look and they wouldnt...they said it was her feet pushing down but im not so sure!!!

Me n Greent have prolapse *ho hum* the MW wouldn't look but said if it gets painful/uncomfortable etc then to see GP - I don't think MWs are qualified in these things;)
oh and I can deff tell its not feet coz i feel it far too close to the outside and you can see that things aren't as they should be I can't wait to get all my bits n bobs fixed after this bubba I haven't felt sexy for aaagggees:rolleyes:
