Thanks guys, As I said your all amazing!!!!!!

As for enjoying the outcome am scared sh** less. The birth worries me enough (still hoping I can go to sleep and the stork will deliver it overnight and the magic fairy has come and my body is back to normal)! The idea of actually having a baby that I cant give back to its mum is even more scary.

I suppose at least I get to eat what I want, as I just say, flump really wants and OH goes and gets. Though am not sure I am ever going to get back into my pre pregnancy jeans.

Shouldnt worry about the weight to much you may surprise yourself with the first one i was in a size 8 within 6 weeks and i was a size 10 just before getting pregnant. Oh my those were the days i'm determined to get down to my pre bubs pregnancy 10/12 after this one but i fear it will take way longer this time round :-)

I was back in pre-preg clothes 4 days after my first.. despite being the size of a terrace!!

this one I might NEVER fit back in anything other than tents..

I am now going to run a cool bath and slob in that for a bit.. OH and DD1 have gone to tesco and I am taking my phone in the bathroom and if I get stuck he will drive to my rescue!! I am actually wider than the bath at the moment so this should be very interesting!!

I feel much better having ALL the children clean bedding on.. and all the downstairs is tidy but not vacuumed.. and most of the upstairs is presentable too.. I even washed the bathroom sink.. while having a wee lol..

bathed in freezing water.. and even hotter now than I was before!!! Only less smelly and greasy and grubby!!

Warmer baths can be better sometimes as when you get out the air hits your skin and makes you feel cooler its the same way a cup of tea cools you down.

Ive had a lovely shower and feel half human again cant be dealing with baths to much hassel for my liking i think ive personally used the bath about once a year since i moved in but i may have to resort to them if bump keeps growing the shower is only small and door doesnt fully open so its a bit of a squeeze to get in lol :-)

resorted to magnums.. nom!!

brushed.. defuzzed and feeling marginally less grotty though.

I may go to bed quick before I get grumpyfied again!!

Morning All

Thought I was going to have something to report for you but nope.

Had painful constant backache last night to the point that I rang the labour ward at 9.30pm - had backache that was constant but getting worse in waves, pain through my coccyx, pressure as if I needed the toilet but nothing was there, and my bump was solid. Was told it sounded like early labour onset, to keep an eye on pain to see if they spread to tummy, try and rest/get sugars up, and if my waters broke then to go straight to the hospital.

Did that - sat down until about 10.30, still getting backache, still had a tight bump, talked to boyfriend who said perhaps best to rest as I hadn't stopped all day and would be exhausted, was there any point going down now etc as men do when they are themselves tired. Tried going to the toilet which just sent pains shooting everywhere. Had cup of tea and decided to go to bed.

Must of slept pretty well, woken up this morning - backache is still there although not as intense as it was just more an ache now, had even more gunky show this morning, bump is still hard and haven't really felt babe wriggle so have been trying to entice her with malted milk biscuits and hot chocolate.

So fingers crossed I am in the very early stages. x

Fingers crossed for you sammy. Come on Little Sammy your mommy wants cuddles :-) x

MERFE

best of luck sammy, have my fingers crossed for you that its today x

I've taken to everytime I wash my hands after going to the toilet, splashing all my arms and chest and face with cold water to cool down. It helps a bit since I'm going to the toilet every 5 mins. I think I'm gonna hang out in the fridges at work instead of in the pharmacy it'll be much cooler. It's the stupid locum in today who thinks she is in charge of all our training though - if she asks me any stupid questions about what the drugs do I'll tell her its her job to know that - my brain is not working properly, I'll just stick to serving the customers thanks.

Hello, been sort of lurking when I can get my head together long enough to go online.

Sammy, I have my fingers, toes and everything else I can cross for you crossed that this is it HUGEST OF HUGE VIBES!!!!

Hassle, do you have any ladies in your life (mum, sis, cousin, friend) who may be able to be just 'there' for you once you have bubs? Although OH has been super amazing, I've had a few wobbles, especially with BFing, that having another woman there to give me a hand has been invaluable.

It's not urgent, but next time someone does the list, bubs is now called Sophie May.
