Ah it'l be cheap I think Kandboys, H&M's baby stuff normally is, they have the thick fleecy snow suit things for £15 :eek: I'm guessing about 6.99 or so.

I'm more optimistic - I reckon you'll pop tomorrow sometime Abby.

I've tried to drink wine but I get heartburn so I've been t total but if I could've had the odd glass I confess that I would've. Not too long until I can sink a pimms!

Claireloo my baby was "free" 2 weeks ago too so there has been progress. He's obviously just very comfy in there which is good really. I'm just inpatient!

It's too sunny I've decided because I keep passing beer gardens where all those lucky people are sipping ice cold bottles of Kopparberg and it's making me grumpy. I'm not even a big drinker, but I think it's because I can't that I want to, if that makes sense? I've got just under 6 months to go ha

Kandboys

I hardly ever drink really - just the occasional shandy and a good few Baileys at xmas! But it's so darn hot I just wanted cooling down and my thirst quenched. And it's done the job :beer:

Erm, right, how accurate are due dates? Mum and I have decided that the 26th July is incorrect and can't work out why the midwife gave me that date. Going by these calculator things on the web it could be any time between 1st-7th August but mainly around 1st-3rd.

IT MAKES NO SENSE!!

Pigpen, sure you shouldn't have just built a new house? Sounds like you practically have ^^

Just got back from the 23 week heart echocardiagram and our baby passed with flying colours, no issues shown or found by the top level consultant at our hospital.

In terms of growth baby was has the following measurements:

BPD = 59.0 (think was around 70% percentile)
HC= 211 (was at 50% percentile)
AC=197 (was at around 95%+ percentile... fat baby lol)
FL=40.6 (was just above 50% percentile)

Est fetal weight = 644g (Weight of a 25 week baby... big baby lol!)

Does anyone know where i can get a good hadlock calculator as i'd like to combine the aboive measurements to work out an estimated due date. to see how far ahead baby is i.e. few days etc.

Baby was amasing as well as while consultant was looking at his hand he raised one finger up..

Consultant said 'ooooh look he looks like he is going to pick his nose'

And then baby raises his second finger up. in a V shape as in to say F off lol .

I think baby has had enough of prodding at :

OMG!!! That scan pic is so cool!! It really made me chuckle :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Congrats on your good results Neas :j:j:j

I came home from doing the Asda shopping after work, and went to bed. I slept from 6.30 until 9.30pm. Hopefully the codeine will work tonight because it bliddy well didn't last night! I've been in a right foul fettle all day due to sleep deprivation.

What date did they give you at the 12 weeks scan? At 12 weeks the foetus is the same size regardless of any parental factors.. supposedly.. though the amount they are curled up can make a difference.. but anything from 38-42 weeks is a NORMAL length pregnancy.. the EDD is just that estimated.. and is give o take a couple of weeks..

You will have your baby before the end of August.. ...

Ive only decorated 1 room this pregnancy.. last time I did 4 bedrooms.. including fitting the carpets and wallpapering myself.. and repainted the huge hall, stairs and landing AND repainted the very large kitchen... so I have been very lazy this time round... and dont I know it? I feel like a huge big fat hippo!!!!!

Though......... I may be repainting the bathroom when the girls stuff is removed from there... There is a bit of mould on the ceiling and the walls need scrubbing and the floor needs a repaint...

Next summer I am redecorating the front room as the very expensive supposedly very hard wearing 100% wool carpet is shafted! and before that I am having underfloor heating and a new floor in the back room.. that was decided on months ago..

I have applied for my free loft inulation from British Gas as well.. I WILL reduce my gas and leccy bills if it kills me!

Well they gave me 26th July at doctors appointment and midwife and then also at the scan. But then at the 20 week they said he was smaller than average, shorter, head circumference etc. and my bump still measures a bit smaller. at my 38 week appointment he sent me for a scan because of it but the "scanner" decided i was still on track. But when I've done the online calculations on a gazillion websites they all give me a week after the supposed due date. Now...you've had TONS of children, ever thought your due date was wrong? I know its only estimated and all that but still....

How many bedrooms does your house have? I get the impression its perhaps a period property, my skills of deduction stem from the fireplace. I'm a genius "innit"
