Suzy: I'm still impressed at your brood! Is it hard being pregnant with a 1 year old? I do like the idea of having them close in age but I bet it's hard being pregnant and looking after a little one!

Pigpen don't worry I will not let my baby be an only child, OH came from a big family so has always wanted 5 or 6 kids himself. I'm thinking 2 or 3 at the moment, we need a bigger house and obviously for this baby to hurry up!

bizarrely I found it made the pregnancy pass so much quicker having a small one (or 4) to run around after.. my main problem was my absolute inability to stay awake from 4-4:30 every night after the school run.. I fell asleep many a time sitting on the edge of the chair with my elbows on my knees and my face in my hands in a desperate attempt to stay awake.. in the end a DVD and a nap on the sofa became absolute.

6 is a good number..

Lovely pic Xmas. Makes me think that this might all be worthwhile afterall.

2GFM - I'm feeling a bit better today. Had lunch (potato and beans) and now just had quiche for tea. I've not managed egg for 2 months. I even did some washing up today, for the first time since getting the BFP.

This might be a one off, or it might be things finally getting better. Right now I don't mind, I'm just happy to have a good day.

xmas - congrats honey, can I order a labour like yours She is beautiful by the way and just look at all that hair

smartie - hope your feeling better soon and fingers x'd that he turns of her/his own accord, if not then good luck with the CS.

delain - big hugs honey, I'm glad you know what the problem is and that its been caught early enough to manage well. Good luck with the CS.

merfe - if I am being honest we cant justify the price of the 4D but we want one and arent being MSE

Huge appropriate vibes to all else who need them

Thanks also for all the advise on the movements, I think this baby goes from laying breech / back to my front when the movements seem to be less frequent and lower down (right in my foof ) to laying horizontally when I feel like its disco dancing in there and I can often feel movements at both sides at the same time.

I also have another question which you all may be able to help me with. I have had this odd pain in my left thigh for about 6 months now. I cant be certain I had it before I conceived but I am pretty sure I didnt. Its not constant and its hard to describe but its like a pulling, burning, pins and needles kinda pain which seems to get worse the longer I stand / walk on it. I'm pretty sure its muscular.

However, I also noticed last week when I went to scratch an itch that there is a significant patch that is kinda numb - again its hard to explain. Its not completely numb but its like when you touch your face after a filling once the anesthetic is starting to wear off - am I making any sense at all?

Anyhoo, I am at the Dr's on Monday but wondered if anyone had any thoughts?

I must admit that I've found it harder with this pregnancy than my first two who were less than a year apart but saying that Im older and I was working full time too.

I found it easier to "get the first lot of pregnancys out of the way" as I wanted the children when I was young.. but then I met someone else and the child bearing started all over again, hence these 2.

:eek::eek::eek::eek: 6 pigpen!!!! Mind you 10 is 4 more still! How's little Freja?

Thanks for that Suzy think I'd like to have a few while I'm in my 20s, am 24 now. I always thought I would have my 1st at 18 but I just didn't feel grown up enough, lol.

10 would be a nitemare for me ! I love my kids but also looking forward to a life (without kids on our hands) with my OH whilst we're still young enough to enjoy it.

I think 6 is my last one as like PP said you just "have" to have a even number. We was going to have another before Im 40 but I think enoughs enough now

Tigtag- Sorry cant help you on that - like you said could be muscular best to run it past the midwife although my MW are a waste of time for asking anything as there so busy.

Kitkat - funny that as I thought you were older from your posts! Funny how you imagine people to be isnt it. Your 7 years older than my first child! lol
