So in future go to the GP instead of the MW.. and you don't have to see her again!!

and complain to her team manager.. hurting you is out of order..

Smartie have you called them yet?!! - not me in Sainsburys! Unfortunately I can't really get out of the house as walking too painful! Mr T's delivery men are being fabulous though, then put it all on the side in the kitchen for me, but haven't persuaded them to put it all away in the cupboards yet!!!!

I've had no more bleeding and I'm (sit down everyone as this is quite shocking;)) feeling quite good:eek:

I'm going to monitor movements as I'm not feeling 100% happy with bean and phone tomorrow if I'm concerned. He does tend to get active around 7pm so hopefully he's just having a rest. And of course if there's anymore bleeding I'll be straight on the phone:)

DS made bakewell tarts at school today and they're YUM!!:D

This isn't good enough! You shouldn't be feeling like this after an appointment, I would ask to change and not see her again. :mad:

I'm feeling sorry for myself! I have rhesus blood, high risk Barts and have just been told by mw (who is lovely) that I have strep b and will have to have intravenous antibiotics in labour. :eek: So much for my "I want minimum medical intervention!" On the plus side, I'm rapidly coming to terms with my needle phobia! I seriously feel like such a failure, that I'm letting OH down by being such a rubbish mother. We have to spend the weekend packing up and moving house, it's my grandmother's funeral on Tuesday and I have been given an "assistant" at work who refuses to actually assist.
I'm so fed up I even ate a sample of that chocolate Krave cereal (they were giving them out at the station) it was disgusting, I had to have crisps to make up for it! :A

God i feel really old today my daughter has come home and she has started her periods. She is a bit worried about it so going to spoil her tonight with loads of cuddles and a big bar of chocolate.

Smartie I was told to monitor the babies movements for between 1-2 hrs when i was carrying bubs and he stopped wriggley round one time. They said if i didnt feel about ten movements in that time i should go and be monitored at the hospital. So if he normally gets really active about 7pm then start monitoring then and try to keep your self relaxed and not do to much as if your active baby tends to sleep. My bubs didnt move that much so i had to go in but as soon as they hooked me up to the monitor that was it he was like a little kick boxer bloody typical i was in and out in less than hr :-)

wow, been missing from the computer for a few days and there's loads to catch up on!

Firstly, congrats Gill, Thomas is lovely

CAFC, 1. this is my first too and 2. yes, I'm terrified! I think it'd be weird if we weren't! On the other hand, I'm starting to get really excited too

well, as for me, I've had a bit of an eventful week. First, baby caused me a lot of grief on Sunday, really painful when I was walking around the shops for the afternoon. Had a busy day on Monday so didn't really feel him move and didn't think much of it. Then Tuesday came and I realised I hadn't felt him for a while and went into panic mode. Called the triage midwife after work and did all of said steps above. All I felt were tiny bubbles that really weren't at all like his usual movements. Cue trip to triage and assessment for monitoring.

Thankfully, everything is fine, perfect heart rate, no contractions, nothing wrong with me - the awkward baby just decided he wanted to sit up right and turned breech!

Antenatal class on birth (after feeling a bit dispirited that I might not get to do it anyway so wasn't really as open to it as I should have been) last night then a trip to the dentist where she pulled out my wisdom tooth - owch. Continued to bleed so wound up at the dental hospital!

Today, antenatal appointment with the GP, baby still breech. Seemingly, he's getting a bit big, so while there is a chance he'll turn, chances are getting slimmer by the day and I've been advised to bring my 37 week midwife appointment forward to 34/35 weeks. If he's still breech, it's scan at 36 weeks, section at 38 as I've chosen not to try to go through a vaginal birth with a breech baby.

So, back to the being scared bit - I'm now terrified as I could have a baby in a bit under 6 weeks! On top of that, we've seen a house we like the sound of in an area we like with a landlord that seems reasonable so we're looking at moving earlier than planned. However, by the time we can move, I'll be at 37 weeks - I really feel like I've gone completely mad!

Hi all

*see if I can remember everything I was going to put*

kitkat - my DH is just the same, keeps saying, 'not more baby stuff, how many clothes does a baby need?' even though we don't have that much at all. I did in the end count what I got last night from ebay and am pretty pleased, for £9 incl postage I got 4 long sleeved babygros, 6 n/b shortsleeve vests, 4 pairs little trousers wtith 3 matching tops and a jacket and hat As I said to DH no way would be get that for the money!

My parcel has also gne missing, i think its the babybjorn active carrier i bought for £7 off netmums, got a card through monday and went to the sorting office today but they can't see it. Manager should phone me in the morning, but I'm not happy. On top of this the stupid hotel I stayed at at the weekend are being awkward about refunding me the money they double charged me, just because DH doesn't want to send them our online CC statement! He says they can check themselves!!

smartie - make sure you phone, like everyone has said it's better to be sure.

I haven't felt any proper kicks yet and am starting to get worried. I'm 17+5 today but I wasn't exactly skinny to start off with. I def look pregnant now, will get DH to take a pic tonight I think as the clothes I am wearing really accentuate it!! My sister sent me 2 pairs of mothercare mat combats which are so comfy, think I will be living in them for a while now!!

In temrs of movements my sis also sent me a sticker and letter for mw about http://www.countthekicks.org.uk/

right, better sort the dinner, think I've done enough work for today - was up at 6.45 this morning and in work at 8.30.
