    Thanks NG, I'm now in my 27th week and already waddling. I don't get out much as I get out of breath so easily. Today was not too bad, I've had about 5 hours of being out of breath, my worse was on Sunday when I was bad for around 12 hours and had heart palpitations for quite a bit of it.

    I need to do the financial checks for June/beginning of July then I can update my signature.

    Hi, thanks for your messages. I've not been checking the forum for a couple of months. You'd think I'd be on it more whilst off work. I have been trying to save money and have bought all the things for the baby at reduced prices.

    I'm nearly 38 weeks and ready to have it (the house is not ready but I am). I'm still ill so don't get to go out much and I can't recall if I said but in the end we decided to cancel our holiday. I've been in the hospital twice as the baby had reduced it's movements. My consultants don't know what's wrong with me and have completed all the tests they can do while I'm pregnant. I have to believe that the problem will go once I have the baby and I will feel normal again.

    Have I missed anything big?

    Not really. Miss T has left home - a bit like your bubba will be doing soon :D. Hope all goes well and you feel better soon.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
