I lay down to take my BP. Really going to hide the machine now. It's supposed to make me feel better, not worse. And why I ask you, if I am lying down doing nothing can my pulse be 100?? It's usually between 65-70bpm, but has been hammering all day. Wonder if it's the heat?

Our pool is the ELC car http://www.elc.co.uk/toy/gt-sports-car-pool/ that but in blue. Kids love it. Use it as a ball pit occasionally too. Unfortunately there is no space in our house for it

tia, do you feel OK? If you think its too high, maybe you should give them a ring and see what they say, otherwise, put the machine down, turn and slowly walk away from it !!!

Tia - I'd have to agree - might be a good thing just to run it by the midwife and make sure they don't want to check on you.

Sami - yup, I'd say maybe 90 minutes was a fair estimate of how long it took DH with ours. Poor guy! Do you deflate it again each time you use it? Or leave it up for a day or so? DH was a bit green after saying "I suppose we'll need to deflate it and re-inflate it next time we use it.":rotfl:

MM, I feel fine. Pregnant but fine. So I put the machine in a high up cupboard and walked away... :rotfl:

I need motivation to go clean my kitchen!

Right I am going to get off my lazy bum and do something, not sure what yet, but there is plenty to choose from !!

Catch you all later

we leave it up for a week or so usually - depends how long the weather lasts really, My mum also has a traditional round paddling pool so if its a one off nice day we just pop that up

Hi Ladies,

39+5 today and not enjoying this heat!

had a review at the hospital this morning and she offered me a sweep so I thought...why not!

Really wasn't bad at all, winced slightly when she was stretching the membranes but other than that just felt pressure down there. I've had some spotting and a bit of back ache since plus some period type pain, but been having those on and off for days so not reading anything into that.

Baby is 2/5ths and I'm 1cm dilated so fingers crossed.

I know everyone's experience is different but just wanted to let you know about mine as i found it fine. hopefully i will be able to report it's success soon.
