Just on for a sec to let everyone know the scan went fine today. They will still want to have another look at 21 weeks but at least we have been reassured everything looks as it should so far. Lovely to see bubs again despite the circumstances .

Will be on tomorrow to check how all our induction ladies are doing.

Good to hear claire.

Good luck to everyone with their inductions tomorrow!!

Sir M.. most of mine were way under 2.5 kg.. even my baby who had a cardiac arrest as he was delivered wa shown to me and I got a mini cuddle... after they resussed him and before they scootled him to NICU. They will check the apgars (breathing/tone etc) and go from there same as with any other baby.

Hi all,

I haven't had much chance to read back the last few days I've been really busy, work was manic this week, and few other things going on, my mum and dad had to have their dog put down today mum very upset! Poor thing.

I hope all goes well for the induction ladies. Its so exciting lots of babies coming at once!

Bye for now. Will try to read back soon. xx

Wow, Giz, you're properly bumpy! I just look a bit portly still, don't really have a bump at all. I'm quite jealous

Good luck for tomorrow all you induction ladies, hope it all goes well for you all.

HI guys and sorry its been so long, i have been so hot in the evenings i couldnt bear to have the laptop near me!
Have read this new thread from the start today so am caught up and can answer a few things but apologies if i dont remember who asked!
my son was 9 days late and weighed 7 pounds 3 so was pretty perfect!
tinkwings ; sorry to hear of your stress and scary time, i also had contractions at 28 weeks with my son and he was as said above 9 days late so dont worry yourself too much yet!
Good luck for all the inducing ladies!!
I am now 32 weeks and sorry to all you late ladies but am fed up already! this baby hurts! have been having painful twinges all last night and again tonight and i dont think im putting up with this another 8 weeks!!!!

just to wish all the ladies being induced tomorrow good luck and good labour vibes. xxxx

Think I am going to bed now, am tired and dh is playing on the ps3. stupid shooting game which makes the baby go mad. Poor child probably thinks it lives in a warzone!

We really need to do some sorting in the baby's room this weekend, I am going to keep hassling dh til he paints the windowsill and all the stuff that is in the cot needs to go somewhere! I did wash the moses basket covers today so can make that back up again tomorrow, and will wash all the muslins, washable wipes and nappy liners.

Good luck for the induction 4 tomorrow!!

Sir M - I had the pessary with DD and I was told it could take up to 24-48 hours to work. It was given at midday, I went into established labour at 3pm and DD was born at 7.17pm!! So it could happen sooner than you think.

I've had 2 hospital appointments today, one with occupational health which was useless, the best advice they could give me was don't walk too much, don't climb the stairs un-nessarily (not easy when you work on the first floor with no lift!), no advice on seating at my desk or work space risk assessment. Well, at least I went and made them aware.

The second was with the physio and I have a firm diagnosis of SPD now, apparently I have all the classic symptoms, can't climb stairs, can't lift legs properly, pain eases with putting feet up, worse pain at night, interuppted sleep. I've been given tubigrip support which I can't wear until I have seen the haematologist in case it causes a blood clot as I am on anti-coagulant therapy. Apparently I have a tilted, high left hip and I've been given a few exercises to do at home which should make the muscles work a bit more. Physio wants to see me weekly for now and I have group session next Tuesday.

So I have 5 hospital appointments in 3 different hospitals now in the next week :eek:, I'm starting to get fed up of the inside of hospitals!!
Haematology bloods tomorrow, physio Tuesday, blood results with consultant Wednesday, liver team on Thursday morning & physio Thursday afternoon, its a good job I'm off on holiday next week - some holiday!!

On the upside, baby is really starting to wriggle about now which is the best feeling!!
