    Morning girlies!

    Thanks for all your concern yesterday - I was absolutely fine, found it completely hilarious and I've learnt how to turn taps on with my toes :D so its all good!

    Sparkle - have you eaten? I find nibbling on day biscuits or sipping milk or water helps. If that doesn't work I usually have a chew on a Rennie which sometimes helps!

    Congratulations on team blue Flower!! 6 sleeps until I get to find out, I can't wait :j

    Hugs to all and labour vibes where required, sorry if I've missed anything - brain just isn't functioning today!

    Glad it wasn't too traumatic Winnie. :D

    My baby girl has decided to lie totally head down today I could feel her shoulders just above c section scar when I was showering. :D. Only problem is that I am finding it more difficult than usual to walk and feel like I look like John Wayne! :rotfl: definitely not very dignified anyway so will be having a day at home I think. :o

    I'm going to an NCT sale tomorrow - any tips on what to look out for? I'm thinking baby monitor - any recommendations?

    I've been to two of these now and I cannot face going to another one (certainly until well after bambino is here). The first one was OK - I managed to get a few bits including a baby bath for £3 (wasn't going to bother but you can't go wrong for £3) and some clothes. My Sister bought a travel cot too. The second one we went to was awful. It was full of mad irate women there was not enough organisation and far too scary for me. I left with a couple of outfits and that was it. I'd say they are worth checking out but be prepared for a massive scrum!

    This lazy good for nothing baby is getting right on my nerves now.. it is so frustrating that it just refuses to move for days at a time.. I had a little wiggle yesterday about 10am and nothing since.. I tried poking and shifting and lying on it and it just doesn't move.. ggrrrrrrr.... so irritating!!! Oh Squeak gave it a good kicking this morning too.

    3 weeks to my anomaly scan.. seems like forever and I am still convinced something is wrong.. hardly surprising given its stillness! I don't actually want to go.. it seems like a faff and then the hospital will be reminded I exist and whine at me that I've not been.. I really don't have the energy to deal with them.. I am usually full of beans by this stage and waning to fling and decorate and it has taken all my focus to list 11 things on ebay... I don't even have the energy to go look at pushchairs or baby stuff or cots or anything.. I bought a pack of nappies when I had my tesco delivery as they were on offer and I had a code to paid about 20p for them... *sigh*

    I need some get up and go :(

    Afternoon all

    Been to the consultant

    BP up, rh- antibodies have doubled but consultant said she wasn't panicking about referring me to Leeds unless they go into double figures. Had more bloods done today - results in 2 more weeks.

    Didn't get chance to discuss induction as baby is still breech, so all she talked about was that I couldn't have ECV to turn him because of the antibodies, so would be looking at a section in about 3 weeks if he doesn't move round. She said given my current physical state, he was probably doing me a favour by being breech as it means a section early. If he turns, I won't be allowed to go over my due date because of the antibodies anyway. Also he is measuring big for dates, so I'm having a growth scan next week and then back to see consultant straight after. I have a feeling if he moves, she will agree to inducing me because of the amount of pain I'm in and we talked about how stressed I felt over the antibodies too, and it's not helping me emotionally. I've got higher BP today and a banging head again. She told me as well as my max dose codeine, to take paracetemol too, so I am doing. I feel like an addict counting down the hours until my next dose of painkillers :rotfl:

    I'm tired as had a bad night again and my head is banging. Going to have a sleep before I have to go out later.

    Hope everyone else is well xxx

    Hadn't seen the list for a little while :D

    Have fantafan and Rachaelc been on? Wonder if we have more birth announcements to come? Huge labour vibes to Becky!

    Someone found out they were team blue but I can't remember who it was.....if you shout up I will update your name!

    koala I have started waddling apparantely! It's very attractive! I feel like I've put on about a stone in the last week - I have to hold my bump now when I get out of bed as it feels really heavy!

    Hugs for your headache mrsspendalot!

    pigpen I know you've done this countless times before (understatement?) but is it not a bit early to worry about movement (or lack of)? My midwife told me not to worry about regular movements until 25 weeks and that there would be days when I wouldn't feel baby until then.

    I have my crib now, all put up - crib bedding is ordered, can't wait until it comes although not sure how soon is too soon to actually make the bed?
