Sami, my OH was not interested with my first 2 pregnancies but this time has been to scans and most appointments with me but flatly refuses to go to any classes. He is however very keen to get bubs room sorted, we are being given a cot bed but last night he said he wanted to go and buy one this weekend just so the room would be finished :rotfl:.

hmm so 3 is the magic number :think: maybe this one won't be my last
I wish my OH was so keen to get everything ready!! The most annoying thing for me is that the way things are right now I can't realistically have the home birth that I want!!
Chris is hopefully going away for 2 nights this weekend with my 'rent's in caravan so hopefully we can have one couple night and go out for a meal and or cinema and that will cheer him up enough to get things straight!

Ive another q, Ive more than half packed my bag now:T but it is brimming, have put nappies and some bits in my boots changing bag but think i still need more space. What type of bags is everyone else using?? is my bag(kinda carry-on size)and a changing bag not enough.. might only be in there 1 day so dont want to go overboard

You crazy lady those feasters look vile IMO
When I had Chris I took a small trolley case that was bigger than carry on size and a holdall but still needed things to be brought in for me, I'm hoping to get my stuff into just a carry on sized trolley case this time as its just for emergency.
how many nappies are you taking? I usually say 1 pack for ease but 1/2 a pack will be fine for the first 24hrs and you'll get a few samples in ur bounty bag plus most hosps provide nappies (although some meanies don't)

Sorry for your loss Iheartfreebies. I hope it works out for you. Thank you for posting your story. It is useful to read about these things and no doubt offers comfort to others in similar situations.
I am still waiting to hear from my SIL who was having another early scan this afternoon as she had been bleeding since Sunday. Keeping fingers crossed.

Greent - just remember that staying together for the kids can be just as bad for them as splitting. I'm not saying just give up etc but don't stay together if its not what YOU want/need xxx

Hey,
Just a quick question - spoke to receptionist at doc's surgery last week who confirmed the positive result they'd got back. She said doc would take a look then refer me, and then someone would be in touch. All sounded a bit vague! Just wondered when i should be expecting to see/hear from someone?

I'd say at a guess chase them after a week or 2 depending how far gone you are?
You should really see a MW by 10weeks at latest if possible

sorry to hear your news freebies, thanks for posting and good luck xxx

Maz its different everywhere but doesnt hurt to ring them and check your number has been passed onto the midwife.

((hugs)) for greent and Iheartfreebies.

Well my ECV didnt work...sux. I was monitored for 30 mins and agreed I was suitable for an ECV.:D Dr started pushing baby, baby pushed back, so Dr tried pshing baby round the other way and baby pushed back. After 15 minutes of this Dr said that my baby didnt want to turn and that we should now consider a breech birth or c Section. :rolleyes: So I have been booked in with a consultant for Thursday to book a C section as baby was 7lbs last week.

Me and OH have agreed to try and get things moving if possible asap before Csection date for a natural delivery.... but if that doesnt work we will go with the C section... oh well.

Ive got half a pack of nappies in my main bag and half in the changing bag, might take some out then.

ive still got to put my clothes in but wondering if it doesnt just make sense to wear home what you wear in???

Depends if your waters go Candice... Or if you vom on yourself... Or if you don't get changed straight away and get all sweaty... I'm only taking about 6 nappies... Our hospital don't provide them but seeing as I work on post natal, I know where there are a couple of stashes if I need them... With disposables though, and the amount a newborn pees... I doubt I'll need any more...

Hi Tickle, i could be wrong but surely you still have time to turn. They wont even scan until after 37 wks here and then offer ecv.

get on those hands and knees, bum in air stylee!!! just make sure no-ones watching, lol

eta, good point Krystal, just assumed i would change as soon as get there, spose i could keep any 'extras' in the car
