your bump is very small pigpen. Did your bump get smaller with any of your other children? It does seem a bit odd.

You should see your midwife and get measure (although I know you won't)

I take it you still feel movements etc.

oh another thing i was wondering about is i have pins and needles/ tingling in my left hand most of the time even when my hand is lower then the rest of my body. i have read online it could be carpel tunnel? do i need to speak to my midwife? will she be able to do anything about it? will it go after the baby arrives? anyone else got it?

could be carpal tunnel, some get it through pregnancy and then it goes. some dont. its worth mentioning it to your midwife just to be on safe side. i used to get it about 2 yrs ago, had some tests but think it was just down to stress.

well have cleared the boys wardrobe out so now have loads of clothes to put on freecycle. (i would ebay but so cant be bothered) unless anyone is near me and needs boys clothes aged around 7/8 and 10 yrs old

Nope.. just this one.. baby is in the same position and still moves as little as it did before.. it is not one for boogeying.. I have a couple of movements maybe 3 or 4 times a day.. and it gets hiccups maybe twice a day.. other than that it doesnt move.

Sounds like it might be carpal tunnel.. the MW can refer to physio who may or may not give wrist splints for it.. depending on severity.. it is usually caused by extra fluid in the wrists putting pressure on the nerves and striny bits which causes the tingling/numbness.. and usually goes after the birth when the fluid is removed.

That is a small bump PP! I'd post mine except I'd feel like heifer so I'm not even trying to take a photo lol

Your leggings reminded me of something, took me 5 minutes of looking to realise it was TV static

Well, two days from now I will be stood at the school gates, That school uniform STILL hasn't arrived and I ordered it before their deadline :eek: and I really should tell the children about the baby before they find out from other mums asking them :o

The rain from this morning is all gone I'm just contemplating hanging the bedding from my bed up outside, but Squeak is awake and tends to grumble at the door till I get back in and it's too damp on the [STRIKE] muddy mess [/STRIKE] lawn for her to get out there.

they are very static like.. I wish they were static on my body rather than sliding off constantly!

My middle measurement is actually 5 inches less than it was at 25 weeks... so I am not imagining that it is smaller.

OMG Piggers, where's it gone!!! I've doubled in size since the last pic I posted!

Wonder if it's got anything to do with your reduced appetite recently?

Which is fine.. for a first baby.. this is my 10th, I have absolutely no stomach muscle tone, in fact they are not even attached to anything.. I also have a large section which the sonographer tore through at the 12 weeks scan so there is absolutely no reaon this should be this small.. unless as I suspected at the time I did have the water leakage a couple of weeks ago.

dont think so.. the weight is still rising... and rising... and rising... I am wondering if Ill hit 15 stone before it arrives TBH! :eek: :eek:

and .. exactly.. we have been about the same hugeness throughout havent we .. and this is just really bizarre.. I guess so long as it is still ok in there and wiggling then complaining you are not fat enough is just silly! lol Having less to lug about has to be a good thing.
