    ooh happy due date LegalBlonde, how exciting! hope you get your mummycuddles soon :)

    Thanks for the reassurance re: weightloss guys, will keep an eye on it, and mention it to the midwife next week. My BMI is still just over 31, so I still have plenty of reserves for Beanie to use up ;):rotfl:

    O

    It is my due day :eek::eek::eek:


    I am freaked out enough that I am number 7 on the list never mind I am now bold lol

    I know I jump in and out but rest assured I do read along every day, catching up is in my routine along with checking facebook and my emails :rotfl::rotfl:but I haven't had much energy lately to log in and say anything!!!

    I have the midwife this afternoon but not sure how much they will be able to tell me. Think they are just seeing me as due day happens to be a Tuesday, clinic day!

    Wish me luck!!

    Hope you are all doing okay x
    Been watching for you every day! What you having a boy or girl or suprise? Any symptoms yet :D

    Antenatal was fun and terrifying. Midwife asked what we were looking forward to when the baby came and I was most looking forward to what hubby would say! Esp as he is going along with the baby thing because I want. And he said to Becki not moaning about heartburn all the time :rotfl:That started all the men off, noisey moaning in the middle of the night, sore backs, pillow mountain alsorts lol. I learnt that you can have braxton hicks from 16 weeks and up to 3 times an hour! I've not felt anything ... :eek:

    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

    I am 31 weeks. I lost 4lb due to the sickness and had only put that back on to starting weight by about week 24 or something. I have now only put on about 5lb since then. I keep being told I should have put on more like 15 or more. Midwife not bothered so longs baby is growing well.

    Awww we all feeling lonesome! I only see my parents, sister and boy, my nan, and people at church! As you say good job we have each other here. Maternity starts on Friday for me. Hr still not spoken tome about whats meant tt happen next. They have me scheduled to come in I guess i'll just not turn up see what happens! I was told I would need a meeting next. Meh their mess. So i'm in tomorrow for 2 hours and then all my shift on Thursday. Can't wait to leave tbh been moved to a new company and they are useless. Most likely won't return. I jsut don't know how I am going to feel a year down the line. Any ways as we are all feeling a bit blue - how about we go and take a picture of our pillow mountains we have in bed at night? And see who has the most pillows LOL.

    My pillow mountain only has 2 pillow cases, but between those two pillow cases there are 5 pillows lol. OH can't believe I can sleep on them. Will add a pic later as he's got my iPhone in the bedroom on the dock to listen to music while he paints. I had to come back downstairs as the smell was making me feel ill.

    I've been off sick since 15 weeks and work is in Ripon and I'm in Leeds and I don't drive so its hard to see people from work anyway, but I'm originally from Leeds and all my old friends are here but the only person who has asked to see me and been told no is my ex. :o

    I was going to ask about Braxton Hicks! Sometimes I get this really funny feeling towards the bottom and middle of my bump like it's in a vice but it doesn't hurt but it's rock solid. Is this Braxton Hicks??

    Am off to the hospibottle in a bit to have my heart scan and my 28-week blood tests. I've also got to show someone "at the window where you booked your 20 week scan" my pregnancy notes and ask them if I need to see an obstetrician due to my palpitations. Hopefully the answer will be no!

    Rebekah - I like the idea of a pillow mountain! I have the long one from Mothercare and when I've made the bed in the morning it looks like I'm still in it!

    Yes thats it! She said your stomach will go rock hard for a few seconds or so but it shouldn't hurt.

    I can't get in bed for all the pillows LOL. I sooo gotta show you all the mess. I must have hmmm 8 pillows at least. Bolster, usual, dream genii, V, and a tempury whats it called pillow.

    That is a L-O-T of pillows!

    I don't know -- I thought it was supposed to feel like a contraction but it just feels a bit uncomfortable and weird! I meant to ask my MW when I saw her on Sunday but I forgot. Silly baby brain.

    i have a pillow mountain of 8 pillows to sleep on so my heartburn doesnt try and kill me in the night (it still tries though!) i also have the long pillow from mothercare to stick between my legs :) Myu oh also moans about my pillow mountain trying to smother him in the night lol.

    I've just fetched Maddie back from nursery and its taken over an hour to get there and back doing a really slow waddle. I rang my dad to see if he will have her for the day tomorrow 'cos i really cannot manage the nursery walk ANYMORE! I'm dead! luckily he said yes. so tomorrow i dont have to worry about getting maddie anywhere and the midwife coming at 11.
    Bad mother to 2!
