So much pain today .... baby kicking in the wrong place, SPD is evil, and now I'm having braxton hicks for good measure

Just running a nice bath to see if it helps.

I just collected a Widgey nursing pillow (brand new) from a work colleague whose OH has a local baby shop. He let me have it for £20 :T Well impressed with it.

That sounds like you got a really good deal MrsS. . My baby has started to constantly kick and punch inwards instead of out the way on to my stomach.....not sure if this is normal as I have never been this pregnant before? She has also not moved from being head downwards in a few weeks which is getting seriously uncomfortable!

Evening all

I have had the laziest day ever!!!:j

Very uncomfortable in the evenings now due to braxton hicks and bruised pelvis where I fell two weeks ago, couldn't even get comfy in the bath.

Had appt with fracture clinic yesterday- 3 different docs including the consultant to decide how to treat my broken wrist. They put a splint- like a strap on support thing in a&e while swelling goes down but they're supposed to put a proper plaster on it a week later. I can't see the point though- if the splint was good enough for the first 10 days it'll do for the next couple of weeks. Advantage is I can take it off to shower etc. I'm planning to use the birth pool so it would have been a major pain to have to keep it dry. Anyway I got my way and its still just strapped up.
Doc's arguments and my responses:
Doc: "If you're in labour you might grab something really hard and do further damage"
Me: " I promise to only throttle OH with the other hand"
Doc: "Well when are you due...12 days... we could take off the plaster the day before?"
Me: " I could be early- babies don't usually stick to due dates"
Doc: "The plaster will make it hurt less"
Me: " I've coped this long and not taken any of the painkillers I was given"
Meanwhile a host of student doctors and nurses are giggling at the back of the room. Consultant eventually agreed that a plaster wasn't the best option for my circumstances although I have been warned if I bang it I can make the break worse. Also I'm to try and not use that hand to minimise movement so it heals. OH: "You haven't really broken it have you- you just want me to do all the housework":rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Wishing fantafan and rachaelc labour vibes :D:D Surely teenie must have had baby by now- 23rd april????

Just wanted to post before I go to bed.
Had a midwife appointment today. Have a bit of protein in my urine, not sure what that means. Uterus is measuring on target @ 32weeks. She had some trouble finding the heartbeat which made me panic a little but she got there in the end.

He has been quiet all day and now starts up kicking before I go to bed the little tinker!

I got a pressie from a friend at work. A box of stuff like nappies, wipes, talc etc. some little books "my first little library" which are just adorable and some baby magazines for me and some other bits. It was really nice! Very pleased with it.

Hope everyone is well!

Just an idea:
Those of us who've been pregnant a while or who've been pregnant before for the sake of those with months left.

Tell everyone:

• Your best pregancy purchase:

• Waste of money/ something you wouldn't bother with next time:

• A top tip you'd give yourself if you could go back a few months:

Here's mine:
Best purchase: Body pillow- couldn't manage without it
http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/1276039/Trail/searchtext%3EBODY+PILLOW.htm
Frustrating waste of money: I bought 3 maternity bras and 2 sleep maternity bras from mothercare and they didn't fit me 3 weeks later. In future I'd just buy 2 cheap soft bras from matalan/ primark.
Top tip: (advice given to me but I didn't believe it) Get everything sorted earlier on as you will be tired in the last couple of months and will not love walking round the shops when on mat leave.
