My bus is not only stalling, it's ending up in the wreckers yard. I'm still sore from my trip yesterday! DH just has to look at me now and I get a painful braxton hicks.

College today and I suppose I'd better go. Pants, pants, pants!!!!

Codeaholic, hope they get back to you soon!

That's awful, CAH, can you spend the day sitting or lying still or are you looking after your other little ones?

I feel like I want to chase you around with pillows and throw them under you whenever you look a bit dizzy.

Well as I managed to clean the downstairs bathroom yesterday I will attempt the upstairs one today If I get that done then I'll try something more I think - small goals and maybe then I'll get somewhere
Spoke to my mum last night and was moaning about feeling tired all the time etc and how I wasn't getting any house work done as I was sleeping all the time etc and told me not to be so daft and when she comes over she'll blast the house for me so stop fretting I love my mum

MrsTine - I've been stressing over not getting housework done as well. I am doing as you are though - small goals. I did some cleaning in the upstairs bathroom yesterday, and this afternoon will get a little cleaning in the downstairs bathroom today. Then tomorrow I will get some extra kitchen cleaning done.

Thankfully, DH is off work for a week starting Sunday, and while we'll be getting some painting (well, he will be anyway) done, we're also going to do some fine tuning on the rear garden as well as some general cleaning. Poor DH will have to go back to work to get some rest!!! LOL

Funnily enough Tine, I told my aunt the other day that I have given up on trying to do the housework and I was going to wait for the baby to arrive and let my Mum come and do it all while I'm still at the hospital lol...

I ache today, don't know why... Didn't think I'd done too much yesterday but maybe I over stretched myself with aqua natal... Baby keeps doing whatever it is that causes excrutiating pain too... I'm starting to worry it will be doing it constantly when I'm in labour and I won't cope with the pain...

Oh and I had another dream with the baby in last night and it was a girl again....

I have left the cleaning so long that yesterday I had to have a blitz. Cleaned bathroom floor, toilet, bath and sink. Then did hoovering, washing and washing up. Now I am paying for it with multiple aches and pains. I think little and often is far better than a mega blitz but I havent got the motivation to do it (oh where are you nesting instinct - please pay me a visit soon)!

Had third ante-natal class lastnight, where we chatted about labour and the epidural. The woman did a demonstration of an epidural on one of the class, without the needle obviously. She had the drip, the thing for the epidural and the catheter hanging off her. It was not a pretty sight. I didnt want an epidural before and now I really dont want one. She said the catheter has to stay in for 6 hours after the birth and I would really hate that. I know the benefits should outweigh this but its really freaked me out.

She also said that 6 out of the 8 women from her other class had to have emergency c-sections so we had a long talk about that. I feel much better for having all the information and knowing what might happen.

Got a day in Court today getting an injunction for a client. Hope the judge takes pity on me and doesnt make me stand all the way through the hearing!!!

MrsTinks

My back is killing me too after standing too much last night hohum...

Did have some back pains across my bumps this morning before I get up - not sure what it was but they stopped as soom as I got up grrr - I was getting my hopes up
And either I have trapped wind or these are period style pains that might (please please please) be an indicator that that labour is round the corner??? Oh I can hope!

Krystaltips

Yeah I had those pains last night... Needed the toilet... All went away... Bah!
