    Hope all is ok Dinah. I had trace of protein and high blood pressure once but wasn't anything thankfully, hopefully is same for you.


    I had a trace twice and thankfully turned out to be nothing aswell. Although re blood pressure I actually had the opposite problem, I had really low blood pressure and was fainting on a regular basis - which obviously can be quite bad when you have a growing bump!

    Hugs hugs hugs Dinah. My heart goes out to you. Please try not to worry. As Wendz said, they can do wonderful things if the baby has to be delivered early. A family friend had a baby a few months ago at 30 weeks and there isn't a bother on her. How many weeks pregnant was your Mum when she had you?

    :( Wendz. Hope you enjoy your last week.

    Birdie - getting the eyes done sounds like a great idea.

    Kavics - I know what you mean about being sick of the debt.

    Hey everyone. Well, I'm home again. Thankfully the tests came back okay so baby is still happily inside with no immanent arrival scheduled. I'm very glad that it was my consultant doing the rounds yesterday morning, as we were able to agree some new parameters for when I need to go to hospital, so hopefully that will keep me out a bit more.

    NIM went and got my medicash form signed as I was in 2 nights again, so that should be £105, however they signed it that I was in 1 night. I was admitted on one ward at about 10pm, but not brought up to the other one until about 12:15am, so I'm really hoping he can get the form altered as that £105 makes it a lot less painful to stay in as I feel like I'm actually doing something positive towards the baby's arrival where physically I'm failing her.

    Still having huge baby name issues, we have a list of about 15 possible names! How did you mummies know a name was 'the one'?! It seems like such a huge decision - so we've been wussing out and reading the bump the list - see which ones she kicks to and letting her decide!
    This was 6 months out of date so I've changed it.

    Glad to hear your home Dinah - make sure you get lots of rest!

    Re names, OH first suggested Noah and whenever we discussed names we just kept coming back to that one. We decided to see if it 'suited' him when he was born.
    His middle name is after my great grandad.

    We didnt get anywhere near to deciding names until about 4 weeks before he was born though, it feels like such a responsibility :rotfl:

    Glad you are ok. And pls don't think that you are physically failing your baby, that's just silly! You are not failing, bad things happen, you are doing the most amazing thing a woman can do!

    No advice re names, I have no kids just yet. Good luck and fight hard if you need to with NIM (my OH is set on Sebastian Frank and Kinga Elena-NO CHANCE, my child will not have those names!)

    That's just how I feel, what if we give her the 'wrong' name and she hates it?! We're certain on middle names though, both family names, we probably know which order although it does depend a bit on what the first name is as if it ends in a 'eee' or 'y' sound we'll need to swap them over.
