Oh botheration...

I got up this morning and I cannot walk... and I need to go buy rabbit food and litter, and do trips to B&Q and Dunelm.... I was supposed to be meeting my friend for dinner but I honestly don't think I can manage to sit on a dining chair for 2 hours

My back front and legs are so painful.. I have been awake most of the night and for once it wasn't miss naughty baby keeping me up..

It took me 4 attempts to get my knickers on this morning and OH wasn't even 'helping' .. and my trousers took even longer...

Not good

I had to do the school run this morning as DH is out of town doing an exam for his degree. We live up-hill from school so the walk back was torture. I am so glad I don't have to do that every day whilst like this. Have you got a wheat pack? My physio recommended one rather than use a hot water bottle as it moulds better to the sore bits.

Pigpen, hope it eases up for you soon...

Morning all - sorry to hear you're hurting PP. I'm touching wood when I am saying this but as yet at 20+3 SPD hasn't started. I'm sure I had it by this stage with DS2 as I saw physio the day after the 20 week scan. DS2 has come out with the pox and is really poorly with it bless him. He's only 3 in August so still quite little really.

SDH

Goodness, i'm getting near the top of the list! (Am 37+5)
Had a trial run with the home birth pool yesterday - Made it all feel a bit real, eeek!
Have also developed a lovely rash. According to google is something called PUPPS. Its v.itchy! Doctor did say i could take antihistamines, which does seemed to have helped a bit

Evening all

Well after all the stress, there is absolutely nothing wrong with baby's growth at all. I'm just measuring small physically because my bump is 'neat and tidy'. He's bang on average growth expectation on every measurement, with an estimated fetal weight of about 6 and 1/2 lbs. They measured the fluid and the pocket had 6cm of fluid (not sure what that means, but it said normal range on the report).

Went up to the assessment unit and scarily they were well aware of who I was, and were expecting me there for induction off the back of the scan. They rang my consultant who said as it's all normal, no need for induction or to see me urgently today, and she wants to just see me on Friday at the clinic. So I had my bloods done a few days early in order to have the antibody titre back by Friday, and off I went.

Was a bit annoyed that it seemed to be a waste of time and that it has caused me so much stress and worry over the weekend for nothing. But then my dad said quite rightly that really it was lucky they are able to check those kinds of things out and make sure everything is ok, and that those kinds of surveillance things aren't affected by cuts in services etc.

So, we're back to the waiting game now for baby to pick his birthday. I'm so desperate to meet him

Hi all had a bad day today. Thankfully me and bubs are ok but DS2 continued to go downhill with his chicken pox. Took his temp just before 6pm and it was 39.9 :eek:!! So rang my surgery and they told us to go straight down as quickly as we could. They've given him some tablets to try and make him more comfortable and get that temp down. I hid it in a piece of chocolate and luckily he took it. Was scary for a bit there -just got to wait and see now I guess.

OH bought me the boots one and it was great for me (got me to 8cm). Think there are much cheaper ones though. The boots one is about £45.
