    kindof - you're not being a wuss at all! My mum was 3 weeks early with me (and I'm eldest) so there's no way I'd be risking that happening at work!! 36 weeks sounds perfect :)

    redstar - I was wondering where you've been. Hope you're ok - if you want to talk about it you know we're all happy to listen (read!)

    Labour vibes for PP - get a move on or Gemma will be overtaking you at this rate lol

    Kindof - my weight seems to be all over the place atm but I have gained just over 2 1/2 stone I think, like you not too worried, and as I lost 1 1/2 stone for IVF I know I can do it again as it wasnt too much effort either. Oh and I know what you mean about the pain after sitting for too long, ouchie.

    PP - I hope MW makes it to you, then you can explain about how are you gonna get back to hospital and maybe get your HB. Take care if you go out x

    barksavingmad - yeay for team yellow, but how tempting to be able to ask your friend!

    Red - sorry to hear you had a rough night :( but yeay for squiggly baby.

    Well nothing happening here hehe. Gonna try to plan out some of my scrap book and need to re do OHs scan pic that he has in a keyring, its gone green so think the damp has gotten to it! Will laminate it this time and hope that stops it happening again.

    Yup I am off work, its far too snowy and dangerous for me to go out there

    Yeah Gill I think I am being a wuss lol, cos everyone else seems to be leaving later than me and I work in a office, but it really hurts bump when I stand up after sitting down, and I am so tired so 36 weeks it is for me.

    Hey barkingsavingmad :) yay for team yellow and everything being cool :) on weight gain I have gained 3 stone so far :eek::eek::eek::eek: I am not too concerenced though as I really think its all bump, well I can see ive gained some on my legs etc but I am ok with it, I plan on re-joining slimming world once baby bean is here (well as soon as I can) and I have the biggest loser wii game to play with as well (which I asked for for chrismtas) and I am hoping to have lots of lovely long pram walks

    Loely pics on FB JHA :) xxx

    Aww sorry you had a bad sleep redmel

    I hope all is ok redstar

    On weight...With ds1 I gained 4st(was left with 2st:rolleyes:), ds2 I gained 3.5st(was left with just under 2st:rolleyes:) and ds3 I gained just over 1.5st and every single pound had gone within a week of giving birth:D...I haven't weighed myself yet, but I usually tend to gain most of my weight in the first 20wks then barely gain anything else:confused: I am not being too careful but if dh has his way this is our last baby so I have plenty of time to lose weight afterwards;)

    Good luck with the scrapbooking:)

  • Morning everyone!!

    I have just been catching up....many congratulations to JHA on the arrival on your lovely new bundle. Boo for your emergency c section but i am so pleased you are both well.

    PP...am sending lots of labour vibes for you and hope that they finally start looking after you. Hope you dont have to wait too long before you get to cuddle your new bundle.

    There were other things that i wanted to say but now cant remember!!!

    Hope everyone keeps warm and safe

    Aww thanks lol, I am just so tired that I want some me time before beany arrives, and there is the chance he will be early so I dont want to work too late

    Yeah Som I agree, even healthy food and exercise and breast feeding are all the things I hope will help me lose weight after

    Red Yes I will still get paid, at the moment they arent sure if I have to take my own annual leave, but it looks like for today at least I will get special leave so I get paid but dont have to use my own allowance

    Oooh kindof thats good, your work seem real understanding. OH wants me to not go in tomorrow, but cant afford to loose pay and dont want to rearrange my hols. Might phone work tomorrow and see what the deal is, suppose as I only live 3/4 mile away they will expect me to come in, will get there in my own time if thats the case tho.

    Gill - both me (2weeks) and my bro (1 week) were early and out of OHs family his big bro was 8 weeks early his middle bro was on time and OH was 2 weeks late, so could go any time! Really makes me think I'd be better packing my hospital bag sooner rather than later.

    Evie - congrats and welcome x

    Red - think most of my weight went on early too, funnily enough now is when they say you can eat those 200 extra cals and am probably eating less as just dont feel so hungry.

    Conventgirl - hope clinic goes well x

    Well just phoned and reserved a Blu ray player at HMV, the one mentioned in the MSE email for £49.99, OH is so chuffed and we have just enough xmas money left to cover it, altho OH will want to buy a blu ray DVD now! OH is finnishing early again so will go out and get it then, only 3 miles away so shouldnt be to hard to get there as the sun is out now. Already fixed OHs keyring now to make a start on scapbook plan.

    Oh and 32 weeks today so RLT here I come :D gonna wait till later to have it tho, figure is prob better to have at the same time each day to get into a routine. Maybe after dinner when I take my other tablets.

    Som - yeah they are ok with me being pregnant, my friend though couldnt make it in cos they couldnt get up the hill with the car to drop toddler off at mothers and her boss is being awful :(

    I live 15 miles away from work, and thats if I go straight to work,we usually nip into my mothers town to pick her up so that adds more miles on

    Same here on the hungry front Som, I am just not hungery, and even when I eat I cant eat much :(

    I have stopped slimming world now, last time I was there was week before christmas and I was weighing in at 14 stone 11, I am going to get weighed in boots the week before beany is due to try and see how much I gained total

    I am exctied to start my RLT and everthing :) I might start mine on monday when I am 32 weeks :)

    I need to figure out a plan for the rest of the things I have

    And yay for the blu ray :)

    Hello :D

    It stopped snowing here, but is sooo cold the snow wont melt lol.

    My battery died on my phone last night so when i just plugged it in i had a voicemail from the doctors asking me to call asap. So i called back and they are closed until 2pm! :confused:

    I hope they aren't cancelling my appointment today, i need to see the doctor lol.

    Get to start my RLT on Sunday, i need to buy some in town, we only have 1 holland and barratt here :(

    Has anyone been getting cramp in their thighs at night? I have to constantly change the side im sleeping on cause the cramp get so sore.
    I have a quick stretch of the muscle but it doesn't help, the cramp comes back still.

    Congrats JHA, im going to wander over to fb now to see the pics :D

    Congrats to JHA on your new arrival, I hope you are both doing well.
    PP sending lots of labour vibes to you.

    Just got back from my 12 week scan. Couldn't believe how busy it was there and so warm! I'm never going to get used to the heat in these maternity places. My due date has been moved forward to the 21st July. Still doesn't seem anymore real. Couldn't comprehend what I was seeing on the screen was coming from my belly! Was so lovely to see baby bean in such detail though :)

    Positive vibes to all that need them x
