I think I might have a 7lbr. My mums had three children , first was 4 weeks prem and was under 5lb. I was just under 6lb and number three was just over 6lb. Evryone assumes cause bump is small then baby will be tiny , but its all baby , not much fat. So im thinking 7/8 lb. I will be terrified if its any smaller

I feel like a whale, but looking back at end-of-pregnancy bump pics from the other 3, I'm no bigger than usual, and it's all bump. I've put on just over a stone. Mine have been the following weights

6lb 14oz (5 days late)
7lb 10oz (5 days late)
7lb 13oz (5 days early)

DH was a 9lb 6oz .... so I'm hoping this one is more in line with my other 3 than him!!!!

Talking of little bundles, my once little 6lb 14oz bundle is 11 today :eek: This time 11 years ago I was pacing the delivery ward trying to get my contractions kicking off again before I gave in and went on the drip and had an epidural ... I had been in labour since 9.30 the previous night so was getting tired and hungry and just wanted to get things moving along. Little did I know she still wouldn't put in an appearance until 9.30pm that night ... 24hrs labour almost to the minute!!! Gosh I feel old

This little sproglet is, I'm 98% sure, still breech as all I can feel is squirms, fidgetting and knocks lower down, and the odd shuffle of a hard lump at the top between my ribs which I am assuming is his head. I had a moment last night when I really thought he might just have moved, but now I think he's stayed put upright. I haven't felt any definite kicks higher up anyway, but I'll know for sure in a couple of days. My heartburn is horrendous at the moment and I'm actually getting reflux now too

My SPD is killing me after baking DDs birthday cake earlier. Other than that, last night wasn't too bad on the sleep front.

Re pants, I bought some size 16-18 black cheapo pants and I've been wearing them since my bump started showing. I don't care what they look like, they are comfy In my hospital bag I have disposable knickers packed, nothing else. I think I need to start sleeping in a bra now with pads in, as I was leaking last night just sitting in bed reading a magazine, much to DHs horror! :rotfl:

Good luck to all the boldies ... hope you get your labour pains soon

Hope you're SPD eases, its sounds like I've been really fortunate in not having to deal with SPD...off I go to touch wood!
I think I'm possibly the only person in the world who is actively willing some sort of boob leakage!! I want to BF and that would be a good sign for me that it's a possibility

Hugs to everyone who is struggling with SPD

I haven't had any leakage either! I have had a little fiddle with them to see if anything comes out but it doesn't! :rotfl:

lol! :rotfl:don't fiddle too much or they will be sore before you start!

Mine didn't get leaky until my 2nd pregnancy so perhaps once you've breast fed once they get leakier...if that makes any sense whatsoever
