    More than half way there. September won't be long in coming around, I was only20 weeks pregnant last September and it feels like yesterday. My boy is 4 months old next week and I cried when i got into bed last night, yesterday he learned how to roll from his back to front, after mastering front to back weeks ago so is now just rolling back and forward, he also picked something up for the first time before bed and we got a weird backwards crawl yesterday!! No wonder he slept good. It upsets me hes growing up so fast.

    Morning ladies :)

    Hope everyone had a reasonable night, I was awake for no reason between 4 and 5.30, knackered now :o I have to go in the lab and train our apprentice on basic analytical chemistry techniques this morning, he hasn't done any chemistry since GCSE so it might be a bit challenging :cool: He's quite bright though, hopefully he'll pick it up quickly!

    I'm 15 weeks today, weighed myself this morning and I've lost more weight, even though I've mostly stopped being sick and am eating relatively normally again. Should I be worried about this? It's not a huge amount of weight, about half a stone since I got my BFP (and I had plenty to lose it from ;) ), but I think my weight should have started to go up by now, or at least have plateau'd

    Morning all :)

    Happy V-day Emsbet :jHave a good meet up today :)

    (((hugs))) Miss Money and to all the boldies am sending massive labour vibes :D

    Very quick one from me as I have a ton of stuff I need to do - my mum is coming to house today to see me (I normally go there as she can be very judgmental) so I need to get the house clean - well cleaner than it is to avoid a row.... this has not been helped by the fact that DS managed to knock out the top shelf of my fridge this morning when trying to get his lunch box out so I have had to add the river of smashed beetroot, single cream and eggs to my list :o I would have told him off but to be honest, I think it shocked him so much he kinda paid for it - he burst into tears lol

    Also neighbours have just arrived back after dropping kids off so am going to put music on as loud as I can as part of operation payback :p

    Have a good day all :) will probably be back later :)

    Morning all, midwife appointment today. I'm hoping she'll declare baby is engaged but I don't think he is :( New change though - since yesterday evening I've been getting 'hot' shooting pains across my lower back. I've been having BHs across the front for weeks but this is the first time I've been having pain in my back. It doesn't feel like I've hurt my back as they only last about 30 seconds at a time and it's not worse when I'm walking around.

    Wow so many boldies, labour vibes to you all :)
    For those overdue, when does your local NHS offer sweeps and inductions? In our antenatal class we were told that I could have a S&S on my due date, another at 40+5 weeks and induction at 40+12.

    LittleMoog I wouldn't worry too much but if you continue to lose weight I'd ask the midwife about it. My friend lost weight throughout most of her pregnancy and her midwife kept telling her that there was nothing to worry about and basically just ignored it. Despite her fundal height/bump size growing along within the right percentile (though at the lower end) it turned out that baby didn't grow as well as she should've. My friend gave birth almost 2 weeks late to a low birth weight baby (5pounds) and though she only spent 4 days in hospital it's taken 4 weeks for her to be able to feed properly.
    I don't say this to worry you, and the chances are you'll start putting weight on again if you're eating OK but my friend wishes she was taken more seriously when she worried about her weight so I just wanted to let you know her experience.

    Labour vibes to those who want them :)
