    Hello :D

    Just popping on for a catch up before bed :)

    Congrats to mermaid on team pink and CAFC on team blue!

    The midwife did end up coming round today, she came earlier for some reason. But she measured me and im still measuring big, im 33+5 and measuring 37cm. So she tested my urine and guess what?!

    Glucose got a +4 which i think is the highest as i was trying to read the tub thingy lol. And i have a trace of protien to.

    So the diabetes midwife has to contact me now, and if i do have gestional diabetes i can give birth in the midwife led birth centre. I have to go to the hospital as apparently there are more complications with a diabetes birt :confused:

    Baby is head down and laying/leaning towards my left side and is 'free' according to my notes. So i assume that means 'not engaged'? :confused:

    Dad is taking me to the big asda on Sunday for the baby event :D And IL's gave me £50 to spend there :D

    OH now has bought a DS and has the same pokemon game as me lol. But he's only level 12ish and im level 38 :rotfl:

    Jha- Aww! I hope that Lily will be a dream to look after :D Have fun on the parents thread! I should be over in 6 weeks! :D (:eek:)

    :wave:Hi everyone Im a long time lurker but never been brave enough to post.
    I am 25 weeks pregnant with my first baby and due a baby girl on 3rd May. I have to Step sons aged 16 & 12.

    So far I have had a relatively easy pregnancy but a very stressful life:( my dear dad died in November from Pancreatic Cancer and on New Years Eve we found out my mum has 3 brain tumours and lung cancer so Im lucky that I havent had a hard pregnancy.

    I am currently signed off work with stress (I wonder why!) although in fairness I am just looking after my mum and you guys on here have been my sanity when I get a break.

    Please can someone add me to the list as I am going to make a conscious effort to join in now. ;)Thanks

    Welcome :) I am so sorry about all the bad stuff thats happened xxx

    Som - Ah right, hmm I wonder what the squiggle means? I wish people would write better lol, Ah cool so he's hopefully still in the right postion, I am just feeling more foof kicks cos thats normal lol. YAY for your bargins Som

    we bought a duck crown , and was surprised at how little meat was on it after opening it , as when u open it , it was hollow in the middle , its nothing like a turkey crown , it had a big bone in it , and just about fed 3 of us for a sunday meal . Hope your s is different , but open it up and see what its like ,

    Morning btw , its been quiet on here for last cpl days , hope everyone is ok
