    Kabie, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mum. Sending lots of love and hugs. Congratulations on your little man, I hope he helps you through this time xxx

    I'm feeling bit miserable tonight, have a lot of back pain and have just made a hot water bottle in the hope of easing it. Feeling a bit stressed about having to go back to hospital tomorrow, espeically about the growth scan. All along I had been measuring exact for dates but looking through my notes, I was measuring about 3cm smaller before I was discharged from the ward on Saturday which is why I presume the consultant booked me in for the scan. He said he wasn't overly concerned but I can't help worrying :( Fingers crossed all will be fine.

    Hope everyone has managed to have a relaxing weekend xx

    Good luck with the hospital Triangle. It's probably all fine if the consultant wasn't overly concerned. My LO wasn't kicking much last Sunday and I ended up strapped to a ctg for an hour on Sunday and Monday. Both days my LO seemed fine and MWs were sure all is fine but they still booked me in for a scan. A scan is probably just a routine check in your case as well.

    Mishkanorman - not tried expressing before, what you say makes sense.

    Triangle - good luck at hospital

    Kabie so sorry asbout your mum but congrats on baby boy.

    Had a reasonable sleep, only woke twice for loo compared to 5 times the night before. But back to work today, still countdown can begin as 9 weeks left.

    I have a terrible pain almost constantly in my bum cheek which MW says is sciatica and theres only 1 exercise she could recommend which doesn't really help. It hurts to walk at times, not fun. Might get the gym ball out tonight and give that a try.

    kabie my thoughts are with you. The advice on expressing sounded good, you can just hand express a little out if needs be first. Hope you get to speak to an adviser today.

    Thanks everyone for the good wishes. jediquigley I think the 40-50% means nothing in terms of when baby comes unfortunately - tbh I've had much stronger feeling ones at home and from what I've read on tinternet some women get a lot higher readings weeks before delivery :eek:. Hope you get through your busy week - when do you start mat leave?

    BB1984 Am struggling to see what is bad about your use of mat leave too :rotfl:. Falling on a baby who is tightly packed in there does make it seem very frightening.

    Triangle hope your growth scan goes ok today, sounds like a precaution. Let us know how it goes.


    Noticed yesterday from notes given on Sat that baby is RoP - facing forwards, and needs to turn otherwise chance of longer and more difficult labour - great :eek:. So now no putting feet up on footstool and did 1/2 hr of knees to chest position yesterday. Planning for an hour today. Already sleep on side so not sure what else to do. Any advice?

    Wrote birth plan with OH using the NHS website last night, I thought it was really good. You tick boxes and add comments and it is all in a printable version afterwards. Need to register so it can be saved, but is free: http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pregnancy-and-baby/pages/birth-plan.aspx

    Good luck today triangle

    Thanks for the birth plan link museum worker. I think I read somewhere doing things that involve being on your hands and knees help baby turn, like scrubbing floors or less energy consuming leaning over a birthing ball.
