    Hi all
    It's so hot and sticky here, wish it would rain! It's v grey but don't think the rain is going to come :( Had a lovely time with my godson yesterday though slept badly at theirs last night. And I was very good and directly asked someone for a seat on a boiling tube this morning. :D

    My sister had her scan today and all seems well. So pleased for her.

    pigpen some of your symptoms, esp the not weeing are very similar to hers when she had her first and as you know she very nearly died, please go in. You know that observation is just the medical term for trying to sort out the problem and find out what's wrong. I know you're an old hand at this but you're clearly not well.

    Road safety lady at work today who is in my team said I can borrow the works infant carrier, she only uses it once or twice a year to demo things and she said it will be fine until we get a group 1 seat :T

    Im fed up of it raining her, everytime i seem to peg the washing out it seems to rain. Also im having to go to the toilet every two hours now, and by the time it has been two hours since i last had a wee, my bladder hurts.
    2 hours! I think I went at least every 2 hours pre pregnancy, now it's more like every 30 mins if I'm lucky!

    I had 2 good experiences at Poole but it's been slated on (I think) Bounty. I've been told today by MW that if I am going to Poole I should be able to use their new birthing suite (which has birthing Pools) but I've heard of people being told it's for Poole residents only!
    I have had a lot of friends give birth at poole and know one of the midwives there. I'm sure if it's one PCT they can't discriminate cos you're from Bmouth!

    Pigpen please go to hospital even if its just so they can put a cathetar in to drain the urine, it cannot be good having that much stored up inside.

    budget - im due the same day as u and i think my baby has engaged aswell, i just feel different i cant really explain although i do feel as if a hand or something is going to pop out :eek:

    got my pram today :j
    http://www.onestopbabyshop.org/red-kite-push-me-storm-3-in-1-pram-and-travel-system.html

    got it from a local independant store i paid £300 although on the internet its cheaper :mad: but to be honest after the running about today looking for one im just glad ive got it!
    mothercare and babies r us were atrocious, the sales assistants jumped on me as soon as i walked in, i hate that i prefer to have a browse on my own first! they were really putting me under pressure so i gave up! plus the prices of some of the prams were :eek: and didnt even include a car seat!!

    lovely little travel system dream! I found babiesrus useless, their selection was small. Mothercare the lady was helpful but I was pretty sure what I wanted...I then ordered online anyway!

    Just realised I've not eaten since lunch out at 1, apart from half a bag of haribo tangfastics...even my Jewish colleague ate some despite the pork gelatine as he couldn't resist!!

    Then they can put you on dialysis and flush it out your veins.

    not for at least a couple of weeks they wouldn't

    Good job it is simply not being produced then.. or I'd pop!

    Anyway.. change subject.. I'm not going.. simple as.. it is my decision and that is that.

    Oli.. congrats on baby Freya.. :D

    Thanks rach, i'm sure it is. Like I said it's Poole they rush you to in an emergency! I don't know how to look it up though. Think the midwife is booking me for Poole so surely that should count for something?

    I have to go in two weeks to do a birth plan!

    Strange for me to think the twins were here one week from now :eek:

    but pigpen how do u know it isnt being produced? but il change subject, but im awful worried so please think a bit more about going.

    rach it was the only pram i like and i think i looked at about a million today! although an hour ago i was cursing it because it was so hard to put together but i have the hang of it now and its actually easy!! i loved the mothercare My3 and spin prams but they were slightly out of my budget :( but im really pleased with what i got so feel better about that now lol

    ive done nothing but eat today my appitite is huge although its little and often i still cant really stomach big meals, i just dont think my stomach has as much room to expand!!

    quite excited for tomorrow night its the first antenatal class! although its from 6.30 - 8.45 so its a bit long. i can tell OH doesnt really want to go and i told him he doesnt have to and he shouldnt feel guilty about it. but he is insisting he goes with me i swear if he goes and complains he's bored il kill him!!

    so next on my list of things i need are : baby bath, baby toiletries, toiletries for my hospital bag, and thats me DONE!! i feel so relieved. although after that i need to sort out somewhere to live, and with an inpending birth in 8 weeks you would think id be worried but im cool as a cucumber :cool:

    PP stop being pigheaded and stubborn and go to the hospital. We know your in pain, we know you are worried and we know you are frightened of the hospital but for god sake you are behaving no better than them by sitting there feeling sorry for yourself and refusing any intervention. Do you really want mental health knocking your door down! I doubt it very much.

    You can still sit there thinking woe is me in a hospital bed but at least you wont have all the other carp to worry about as well. Think about your other kids as well they must be worried sick about you too and their little brother or sister still inside you.

    So come on do what all us women have to do, suck it up and take it on the chin. You never know miracles can happen and they might just get it right this time and make you feel better!
