Hi

Had a skim back.....Suzy fingers crossed for finding out on Friday and i'm sure the baby is fine, you have probably just not felt as much because you have been so pre-occupied:)

Beauty - YES.....I am soooooo sick of being told how huge I am....I have even stopped doing the school run as much because it is getting to me. Also the stupid "ooohh can't believe you still got 6wks left, youlook like a week or two at max" I am fully aware that 6wks is flaming ages...I am the one waddling about getting more and more uncomfortable and fed up GRRRRRRRR Stupid inconsiderate people wind me up!!!

Said to dh yesterday, when it was lovely and hot, that I can't wait to have this baby and be able to wear some nice summery clothes. I said I just feel like a big fat blob! His reply - "Your not a fat blob, you're a lovely...blob" Hmmm made me feel much better I must say!

K cried at MMR:( Midwife appt was fine, belly/baby measuring spot on, blood pressure perfect, head down in correct position and it's back is running down the left of my belly button:D I asked what the pains were that I was getting low down when walking, she didn't know! I asked why I had bee losing weight or at the best not gaining anything since 20wks, she didn't know!! She did take more bloods though as I am anaemic and they need to keep a check on it as I want a HB.

Next appt is home appt at around 36/37wks to set me up with all the bits and pieces for birth and to arrange entonox to be delivered!! I am still not 100% on HB but best to say yes as I can always change my mind when I actually go into labour.

Hi all,

I had my 38 wk midwife appointment today and all ok :j .... and it should be my last appointment :j fingers crossed!!! I have an appoinment booked for day after my due date if baby still hasn't come so she can do a sweep if I want but I am REALLY hoping baby has come by then especially as DS was already here by now! :mad: I want this baby NOW!!!

Redmel i think your right to prepare for the home birth it is so much more relaxing and it makes it seem all the less painfull. I laboured at home but due maconium in my waters had to go into hospital all was well but i found it harder going once in hospital i just dont like the places :-)


Labour vibes for all though who want them !! :-)

I hope pigpen is ok she has been very quiet!

Clair your scan pic is lovely wish mine were that clear :-)

I had ds3 at home....The 2 boys just went up and watched films in their bedroom and scoffed the copious amount of sweets I had bought for them:p I am just concerned about what to do with ds3 as he is a bit young to send to play in his room:o

I did prefer the HB to the 2 hospital births and it was nice to be able to call the boys down so they could see their new baby, who conveniently arrived just before they were going to bed:D

Glad you sorted a pushchair and more importantly are happy with it:D

Courgette, that's so weird that your OH works for 'them' too! You'll know exactly what a bunch of toss pots they are. I know what you mean about the stupid blue headers though, makes me scratch my head at them really. :rotfl:

MSD, BIG VIBES for you, so you don't have to have a sweep.

Redmel, at least OH thinks you're lovely though, even though it perhaps wasn't the most tactful thing to say. Excellent for getting organised for your HB, I'm too chicken, but a lot of women say they're the best births they've had.

Bexta - I would never have had my 1st at home!!! and after the horrible birth I had with ds1 I would never have had ds2 at home.....it is only because ds2 was an easy labour/delivery that I even considered it 3rd time round:)

Glad you haven't got long left to suffer at work...I was the same when I left after ds3 I did not want to go back at all (and didn't;))

How cool is this?

I think i must be the only person who was dead set against a HB..... I just couldnt do it.... plus it wouldnt really be fair on our dog, he gets upset when I have to zone out on the floor with braxton hicks, let alone in labour!!!!

Had chippy for dinner, was asked when i was due and for the life of me i couldn't work it out in terms of weeks LOL talk about preggo brain..... weirdly though woman serving us had the same due date as us (12th june) 15 years ago, and hers rocked up on 14th may.... no such luck here......

Trying to get on my gym ball twice a day but i do find it knackers me out..... exactly how "bouncy" should I be?! LOL
I dont think it helps that ive got really short legs so i use a lot of my leg muscles to push off the floor...... good exercise i suppose though....

We just locked the animals out....our dog is soo laid back anyway and is used to being in the garden for lengths of time, the cat was probably more annoyed:p

Erm....Don't get too bouncy, poor baby might come shooting out:rotfl: I think gentle bounces, so your feet remain on the floor is sufficient, also rotating hips round in circles and leaning slightly forward while doing it will make sure baby is in a good position for delivery:)
