Hello all,

Labour vibes to all the overdue ladies, and lets hope Kitkat's absence means her sweep worked!

MV - enjoy your scan today, yes you're bound to worry a bit, but I'm sure all will be fine!:D:D

Emsy - I can't offer a similar story to the others so you can have some (((hugs))) instead.

Chakani - great news!!:D:T Keep hassling your solicitor on a regular basis so they don't take their usual snails pace.

SirM - hope all goes well for your appt, low bp vibes to you.

Gems - I'm 37+4 now and whilst my baby has remained head-down his back has been at a different position at each of my last 3 appointments. He is very wriggly!!

Sorry can't remember any more - hugs for anyone needing/wanting them.

I've had a very lazy morning so far and now I'm off out to be treated to lunch by my lovely parents.:D:D So my excuse for laziness (including a morning nap:o:o) is to have kept my feet up and the swelling down to a minimum before I have to put my sandals on:D

Hi everyone, congrats to Delain. Just trying to catch up on all the posts. Im in a bad mood, sick of been walked all over. Was suppose to be meeting my friend at one today, he has texted asking to meet at half one, normally wouldn't be a problem, but he does this to me everytime we are meant to meet. He either turns ups at least 20 mins late or he texts to rearrange the time and then usually still turns up late. Im fed up of it now and am in two minds wether to go. I don't know how to tackle this. We have another friend that either doesn't turn up and doesn't let you know, cancells on you or turns up late, he moans about this friend doing this, so i don't understand why he thinks its ok to do it to me.

Wondering if anyone's made their appointment to look round the hospital yet - and if so how early did you make it? My friend is 6.5 months and when she phoned up to make her appointment they could hardly squeeze her in, she was told she should have done it ages ago - her tour is now 2 days before her due date! Wondering if I should just ring them now...

If you're going to the same hospital then yes I'd advise it, they'll ask you when you're due when you ring up anyway...or at least mine did:D

Big labour vibes for all those who need it today!!

MV - Good luck on your scan today, mine is only 4 weeks away, don't know where the time is going!!

Lillian - Your doctor sounds carp! Get a second opinion and get your self referral off ASAP and hopefully the physio will take you more seriously. Honestly!

Don - Ouch! Hope you manage to feel a bit better soon.

I'm having a carp day, 4th night running I've woken up in a panic about the baby and something being wrong, I know its normal to feel anxious but this is getting ridiculous. Its getting me down and I wish I just could get the triple test done and out of the way and I would know either way. OH is sticking his head in the sand and I'm finding it hard to keep the anxiety in! I'm really tearful at work probably because I feel so tired and in alot of pain because of my hips and back. I have asked again about a new chair but occupational health still hasn't got back to me. Got off my chair earlier and had a shooting pain down my right hand side. Roll on Thursday for physio appointment.

The pushchair I want is selling out fast - last look they have 17 left and in a real quandry on whether to buy it or not.
Oh, and the cat is ill, he is breathing funny and panting most of the time, we've taking him the vets this evening.

Oh the joy, have a good day all xx

It's not the same hospital but I think I will anyway as it's a busy one

Edit - poor Sarahangel, hope occ health get back to you soon - if not, refuse to go to work!

hello all

lillian - my maternity notes dont really reflect anything that has happended apparently I am "feeling well" at every appoinment havent had any problems with back and hips never been to physio, not suffered sickness, tiredness etc etc!!!

We couldnt look round hospital they dont do tours or anything anymore due to infecton control risk.

Had a lovely morning couple friends came round, one is off sick with stress and depression she came round last week too and the other just took couple hrs out from work to come today was really nice I work with them and we have such a nice laugh, very sick senses of humour and they didnt realise had to shave bikini line for c-section and decided my husband should shave a shape - ammused them for ages very silly.

Congrats Chakani on the house-I have only been here 6 months and remember the stress Where in Kent are you moving too? I am Maidstone :T

Had no idea I could call hosp for the tour, keep forgetting to mention to MW. Had a tour 7 years ago, but can't remember it now!!!

Do I call reception or maternity?

I just called the Maternity ward number on the back of my notes. I suppose you could call the hospitals reception and ask to be put through to the right place?!?!?

Just called, spoke to the nicest lady! My faith in the NHS is restored! So I'm now booked in for three 2 hour classes, a breastfeeding workshop and a hospital tour.

Wondering now if I still need my NCT course...it's after all of this so I guess I could look and see what the cancellation terms are and see if I can cancel it after the NHS stuff if I don't feel like it's necessary.

Our hospital don't require appointments for this. You just turn up Sat/Sun at 4pm. We're probably going to go a week sunday. It might seem early but I want to see the hospital asap so I can make my mind up about a hospital birth.

So when have you booked yours for?
