Congrats Gisi, I've still got 4 weeks to go.. or 2 depending on who you ask! Still got a few days annual leave to take though so might just spread them out as and when needed so don't get forced to start ML early. (Any days taken not put down as annual leave after the 23rd automatically starts my SML).

I have 21 weeks to go for my ML (well I am going to do 3 weeks AL then 39 weeks ML and then 4 weeks AL)

nikkit - sorry you are feeling uncomfortable

Glam - Yay for cheap nappies

Aww Fitzio baby will def want to meet you

(((HUGS)))) Helen you are having a !!!! time at the minute, as is your friend, I cant believe your work didnt give you a card thats horrible stupid sods!!!!! Hopefully you can relax a bit more now?

Fishcake - that video is soooo cool

Moosmummy - yours is lush as well, thats like my baby just stayed totally still lol he wiggled his legs when we first saw him then he just stayed still no matter what we tried lol

I think I would like a Nursing Chair for the nursery

We had KFC for tea nom nom nom, the first time they have got the order right woo-hoo lol

When I had my 12 week scan the scanner lady said "I have one of those uteruses" that lays tilted? or backwards or something, has anyone else heard of this? she didnt go on to say it would be a problem or anything thats all she said, I was like hmmm ok

Ergh! I hate doctor who ><

Off to get me some doritos and sour cream dip

OH is trying to work out how i can go on maternity leave early. I can go 20/12 the earliest. But i have 19 days of holiday to take.
But we only work 4 day weeks, so if i can work out what days im due to work from the (not guarenteed) rolling rota i have copied down in my diary, i may be able to leave 5 weeks earlier lol.
We dont get told our shifts until a week in advance

My midwife put some notes in my folder from the scan I had 2 weeks ago, at 29+5 the estimated weight of belly monkey was 1398g, just over 3lb It seems funny compared to the grain of rice I gave my mum when I was 6 weeks to tell her I was pregnant :rotfl:

Hi all,

can i just ask if many of you girls had alot of period like pains at around 18 - 19 weeks.
I'm get lots of pain all day and night for the past week my mum is worried i could be going in to early labour but i personally think its ligament pain as this is my first.

TIA

Hi everyone, just caught up!!

Congratulations Bear, just off to read your BS in a min

Great video Fishcake!!

Well DH parents have been over tonight and helped us re-organise the furniture in the nursery as we didnt like how we had it. Looks lots better now Yay!! I will try and get a pic on here of it once its finished.

Had my 32 week midwife appt this afternoon, baby is finally in the correct position, well he was when she felt him anyway. She booked me in for my 34 wk appt which is where the midwife will come to my home. I asked for a Friday as DH is home earlier and could hopefully of been here too. I am annoyed now though as I have realised we have 2 dogs boarding here that week and also we have our own 2 dogs so it would be mental. Think I am gonna have to rearrange the midwife but I cant see how it can be a Friday now as the following Friday is my last day of work so better not book it for then, lol!!

I have one of these - they're not that uncommon. Mine is tilted backwards quite sharply, to the extent that when a medical student tried to do a smear on me, she couldn't find my cervix, and when I had my coil fitted it had to be under GA with a camera so they could see where it was going.

It doesn't present any problems in pregnancy though, because, so I've been told and have 2 kids already which would tend to support this to be true, the weight of the growing baby plus extra gubbins in there, temporarily pulls your uterus down into the standard position. It will tilt back when the baby is born and it shrinks back to normal size, but from about half way through your pregnancy its the same as anyone elses!

Boo have you started your raspberry leaf tea yet? I was going to give it a try from tomorrow, the box is looking at me accusingly in the cupboard as though to say 'I know you'll drink one cup then never come near me again!' Just wondered if you'd noticed more braxton hicks or movement after drinking it?
