Ditto but this is my 3rd child and I only have 16 days to go.
We are blessed!

You are both indeed very lucky shellsuit and mrstine! I smugly thought I'd escaped during my 1st pregnancy until at 35+ weeks my MW said "Oh my! You have been unlucky with the stretch marks". :eek:

I never looked down there you see as they were underneath my bump! I was horrified when I got home and had a proper look in the mirror.

Well we all know they don't really go away - I'm just hoping it all stretched enough the first time that this baby won't need to make any new ones!

Evening everyone

Think I have caught up on everything today, you didnt talk very much which helped :rotfl:

Krystal, I agree that a surprise is the way to go and I called Jasmine 'he' when she was a bump aswell, maybe that explains why she is such a tom-boy now :D
I have a feeling this one is a boy, but I will be delighted with either

Re morning sickness, I didnt get any, but was nauseus the whole way through untill about 26 - 28 weeks

And do not get me started on stretch marks .......:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

I got thousands of them with Jasmine (OK slight exaggeration, but you get the picture !!)

I thought I would jusr 're-use' them this time, but 2 weeks ago noticed a brand new bright red stretch mark down the side of my bump !!
So far only 2 new ones this time, but still have 8 weeks to go, ......

Hello ladies and bumps!

Elle- I spoke to my MW about piles as my mum has made me paranoid by saying "dont worry almost everyone gets them when you give birth 1st time". MW told me thats not true, just my mum scaring me :rolleyes: But if I want to prepare for the worst... I need to increase pelvic floor excercises, eat more fibre, and if I do get piles before bubs arrives she recommended Germaloid cream as it has anaesthetic in it! HTH

Vitamin K issue... I am going to have it, my half brother had problems bleeding when he was born despite having the injection and we were told that he would have been "more serious condition" had he not had the initial injection... so thats persuaded me.

Today had my scan, sonographer fel it necessary to list on my notes "technically difficult scan due to maternal BMI" now I have seen this woman before and she does it every time, but the other sonographers dont feel obliged to do this... grrrr.

Baby is still breech with one leg flexed and one leg extended so its foot is next to its head :rotfl: looked strange on screen. Obsteatrician has booked me for an ECV 28th, and given me the option of vaginal breech delivery despite MW saying it wasnt an option due to my BMI... I like my consultant, she rocks.

Any who hope every one else is having a good day. I am off to make mushroom soup!
