Congratulations TeamLowe how lovely to know you will be in your new home when baby comes.

Faerie So sorry to hear your news.

My DD was back to back during labour and I had an epidural which made the whole thing far more comfortable. This time I am going to be induced or have a section (medical reasons) so I will be having an epidural again. To be honest I have never worried about labour, no point really as it is going to happen one way or another

Not had a great day today, my back has been sore on and off and I have let my healthy eating vanish. After a wee emotional outburst earlier I have given myself a talking to and will get back on track from tomorrow.

Becca I felt movement around 14w so I don't think it's too early at 15w

I realised I have 18 more Monday night date nights until small person will definitely be here eep

Becca I was feeling tingles and butterflies about that time that the midwife said at 16 week appointment would be the first signs of baby movement. First little kicks were around 17 weeks which seems to tally with what others say, although it depends where your placenta is

Wide awake, too nervous for the scan at least I'll know by the end of the day if baby is ok and hopefully what kind we're getting x

Hope you have a lovely scan TL. I'm really looking forward to mine but still another 5 weeks to go.

It was lovely to hear the heartbeat at my appt yesterday. It makes it seem more real again as I haven't really felt any movement yet.

Still waiting for my 2nd trimester burst of energy I do feel marginally better but still knackered when I do any slight exertion like out the washing out.

Lovely to see more bumps

Does anyone else wake up tired or is it just me? Luckily I slept through the night last night, but at 7am I was wide awake with a really painful bladder. In someways I'm glad I didn't wake up as I got a good nights sleep, but then I wish I had as my bladder wouldn't have hurt.
Went out for dinner with OH last night and did some good walking round Clifton, my bump was aching on the walk back to the car though so I think it's going to stretch again (must find the Bio-oil!)

Enjoying the bump photos, will add mine soon

I've been waking at around 5am last few mornings and "worrying" about things and telling myself not to worry and to go back to sleep! Wish I could switch my brain off sometimes

You have my sympathies I wish I could turn my brain off too sometimes. I also wish I could 'un-learn' quite a lot of what I know and have experienced. Ignorance really is bliss. Hugs xx

Me too Keri, seems like there's just no energy to be had atm.

I saw my consultant this morning together with a midwife and a young doctor. Got to hear baby's heartbeat which was lovely and reassuring.

They weren't as restrictive as I though they might be. Basically said that I can do what I want but they highly recommend the delivery suite and a managed third stage.

I still really want a waterbirth again but doubt that I'll be able to convince DH. He's already said that I have to do what the Dr orders. I wonder if we can compromise on the birthing center as its so much nicer than the delivery suite.

Saying all the above we have to see what the consultant actually put in my notes as what they say to your face and what they write as gospel can be somewhat different! :rotfl:

I won't post a picture of my bump as its mostly a food baby atm
