    Iris- no suggestions other than get up and get moving. As DD is only 13 months baby blue could be cork out a bottle job

    Hoping the lack of posting means that you ended up going 0-100 quickly in the end? :)

    Hope all is well x

    Hi all,

    I'm sorry for not posting but I've been trying to stay off here and have some me, me, me time. :) Sorry If I've worried anyone.

    No no news as yet. I'm getting fed up of the pains when I walk..so what do i do..? walk some more and that's all that I've been doing. I do feel like it's going to be soon though and I heard a little pop, pop, pop last night when I went to the toilet. Haven't a clue what that is but it was funny anyway! :)

    At least some good ish news is that when I have been measured recently I seem to have shrunk and I now have a gap between my chest and stomach which suggests he's moved down, although he's not engaged yet. (but I don't engage until the last minute normally anyway)

    Selfishness alert below..feel free to skip, Trying not to be too negative on this thread about anything so Ive whitened it out. Crazy I know! :rotfl:

    :o Feel free to not read the following but I'm hoping it'll help for me just to write it down. ( I know it's not mortgage related before someone groans. The majority of people on here are so lovely and friendly but I've seen the odd post on here recently which makes me think I shouldn't post this but anyway...! )

    I saw the midwife On Tuesday and broke down about giving birth last time I told her how low my mood sunk when I was in labour last year all because of a silly little thing. It's only come up with me now as I know I'm going through it again very soon.

    Anyway..I was in agony in labour whilst in hospital wired up on the bed and near the end although I didn't recognise that because they don't do internals now so you don't know how far along you are.. the midwife said she was going on her dinner and I thought ..she thinks I've got ages off and I'm in agony, feeling unable to cope anymore with the pain and she's going off eating !!....Well I sunk into a black hole there and then..not a good place to be whilst in labour.. 5 mins later she was called back and DD was born. I know it sounds so petty but those minutes really affected me and now Im absolutely terrified that I'll go to that place again. I suffer from depression if I don't watch myself and see the signs. I feel such a fool when I know that other people have far more horrible things to think about.


    Mortgage wise ...I've op'ed the odd little amount here and there but not logged it as yet as I've not been on much. I'll update when I can.

    Thanks for your thoughts everyone.

    < slap > :D

    I feel really good apart from all that. I feel as if I'm in a good place at the minute. :)

    My other problem is that I don't like unannounced guests..I just wish he would say " Hey mum I'm coming at 10pm tonight, make sure you're ready for me and the house is tidy!" But I guess I'm asking a bit much there! :D
