hey ladies

sir monster great idea i wish i could see your OHs face when he opens the grannies folder :rotfl: my OH doesnt have a laptop/computer of his own and ive never found a "stash" but i know he's bound to have some somewhere and to be honest it doesnt annoy me BUT if i saw it now id be raging purely because im a bit of an elephant at the moment

word of advice never ever get your bikini line waxed whilst pregnant OUCH :eek: its never hurt like that before, i dont know if its me being extra sensitive or maybe because id let it grow like the amazon beforehand. although i do feel much better now ive had it done and quite proud that i stuck out the pain :rotfl: i was about to ask her to stop halfway through, but i thought if i cant stick this then how the hell am i gonna push a baby out my foof

got my 29 wk appointment tomorrow so quiet nervous about getting bloods taken wondering what else they will do, a friend told me they try and guestimate the weight which will be interseting i suppose. so ive got my notes packed in my bag already so i dont forget them. i was in for an ermergency appointment last week and they turned some lady away from admissions as she hadnt brought her notes :eek: im sorry but if i thought something was wrong with baby its quiet easy to forget them! i couldnt believe they refused to see her until she went and got them.

what is everyone's local Next store like? i went into the one in town today(its massive) and the selsction of matenity wear was dreadful!!

*hates BILL and Ted pushchairs.. *

Emsy.. glad all is looking good.. even if a little large lol... mine is just a long snakey baby.

Birdie.. next stores here are rubbish.. we have 3 fairly large ones and the range in them is naff.. one of them only has childrens clothes up to age 10.. and then nothing until ladies/mens sizes! and no maternity at all!! And I woudn't have my bikini line waxed if I wasn't pregnant so I sure as heck ain't getting it out when I am.. I can't see it.. so all is good!

yay for gettin extra scans emsywoo im a little jealous lol! out of curiosity, how do they know they baby is big for the dates, i always thought if the baby was measuring bigger then they just assumed the dates were wrong then changed them?

Oh, and my consultant? Fit. Seriously. In a very sexy, (not sure that word will get past filter :rotfl: ) suave, confident, re-assuring way.

Why oh why does he have to see my bits and bobs. :doh::doh::doh:

Well done Emsy for getting all that done :T

Remember I was going to Tesco? Well I went and got my new half price bedding and I'm very happy with it. Now I just need to sort my room out before I get it on the bed, because my room looks like an explosion in an oxfam shop

Although the bedding was nice, it took me two hours to get home!

A bus had broken down so I had to wait for the next one next to a busy dual carriageway in baking heat (hourly service) then we had a bus driver who'd been roped in to doing our weird route with no map because someone went home sick and he didn't know where he was going I ended up directing him about the place and going past my stop and having to walk back because I didn't want to feel responsible for him getting lost :rotfl:

It is a nightmare here though. It's a village that pretty much doubled in size in the 70's so bits of it all look the same, it was months before I braved trying to find Londis when I moved here

Pigpen are you feeling better today?

Congrats whoever was on team pink :T

Oh and sir monster go you!

Nope, baby was ok for their dates at 10 & 12 weeks..........growth spurts now!! Every measurement waaaaaaaaaaay above 95th centile.

Ready for jealousy then........had 10 scans, 3 more to go (at least! )

I, however, am less excited than you by them LOL feel like I have been run over when they are "over-zealous"

not exceptionally but the children have been better behaved.. Tiddles went to bed about half 5.. moomin went about 6... so they are all asleep pretty much... and no arguing!! lol..

I've only had to blubber like a twerp on a couple of people today so I'm doing well..

Hello there - I'm hoping someone can make me feel better :-)

I'm diabetic, so have had a couple of ante-natal classes now where the midwives have told us all about the "best" ways to give birth, minimise discomfort in labour etc - but each time said "this doesn't apply to you" to me. So today I sat down with the diabetes/ante-natal people I see at the hospital and asked if I have any birth options at all...
They've basically told me that, due to the baby likely to be big, I will need to have either induction at 38 weeks or a c-section. For both I'm going to be on 2 drips (glucose and insulin), plus an epidural (for c-section at least). I hate needles, but have had to learn to deal with them during pregnancy, but the thought of having so many, plus potentially major surgery (c-section), not to mention the worry of the baby being poorly/taken straight into special care is making me stress out in a big way. I honestly think that if I'd known about all this beforehand I might have thought twice about getting pregnant in the first place...

Can anyone tell me anything positive about c-sections etc to help me deal with this?

dreambirdie

lol i just love getting the scans done so i cant see whats going on in my belly!! :j im going to take my notes out now and see if i can see anything about this wee ones size cos at the 20wk scan they didnt mention anything about it.

pigpen i had to get it done lol i cant see it at all, and it was sooooo bad it was doing my head in normally i would just whack away with the razor if i cant be annoyed getting a wax but i thought a razor with my limited vision may have been a dangerous thing!!

Today I have been told I likely have gestational diabetes, so I have some very limited understanding of your concerns

DD was born by c/s, and I am pregnant again, so jsut remember that for every horror story you hear, there are plenty of us that go through it more than once!

Cue Pigpen...............:D
