awww little max is cute

lovely nursery Mrs Bryan and bump!

i was told i have a neat bump today, its nice to hear something positive rather than "havent you grown" "look how big you are getting" blah blah

long post sexy mouse lol you must be a good typer

my daisy birthday class was good yesterday, a bit more talking than i liked but it was just the first class, did some yoga, relaxation and hypnosis. what was interesting is she showed us a yoga stretch to help stretch the perineum which is a lot more acceptable than doing it with your fingers maybe if you utube it you could find it.

saw midwife today, BP a little higher than normal but nothing to worry about. everything else ok. baby head down laying on right side. wish it was left as apparently this is a slightly better position.

good luck to those in labour right now!!

Oh dear, does that mean I talk too much? I suppose it's the teacher in me. lol I can touch type pretty fast - my Dad was in IT, so we had a computer from when I was 4, and my Mum was in admin, so she taught me to touch type. lol

Does anyone know anything about the maternity unit at Ysbyty Gwynedd? I've been trying to find stuff out but google is not my friend on this one.

had a look for u twinklie im a google expert but no luck all i can find is they ahve a maternity unit - might be worth calling them and asking to send some info out

twinklie

Cheers honey. Yeah I might do that. I move down there to live with DH when school finishes, so fingers crossed I can get more info. I just want to know what I'm facing if that makes sense.

Phew I think I've caught up!

Jovi - Max is a cutey.

Rebekah - we've just booked our antenatal classes, I hope we don't get a battle axe like you had, I think it's good to be prepared for the bad stuff as well as the good but sounds like she went a little bit over the top with it.

Whowants2brich - good luck and hope your enjoying baby cuddles real soon.

Fluffnutter - glad your scan went well, not long to go for you now, baby sounds a good weight. Are you and your partner tall? I think we are going to have a long baby too.

Triangle - sorry to hear the hospital appointment wasn't as good as could have been but I hope your bp goes down a little bit for you.

Sexymouse - my mum wants to be a Nanny too, my mil was a nanny to her grand kids so we were a bit shocked when mum said that's what she wanted, we always thought she would choose grandma. My dad said he wants to be a grandad and my step dad hasn't said what he wants to be called though. My mum will be 45 when she becomes a grandma lol, 2 days before I told her I was pregnant she was teasing my auntie who is a year older that she was gonna be a grandma because my cousin is pregnant too.

As for me, I have leaky boobs that weigh a ton and ache like mad. Really itchy nipples too so going to be buying some nipple cream or something too, have got breast pads in already.

We had our check up appointment with the consultant yesterday after me being admitted the other week and it was a horrible appointment. My bp was slightly up, but no protein in my urine or anything so nothing to worry about yet. The doctor we saw was new though and really didn't seem to know what he was doing. He used a doppler to listen to baby and he couldn't pick the baby up, he told us there was a problem with the babies heartbeat and was off to get someone else and left us in the room for 45 minutes panicking before a midwife came in and used a different doppler and found the heartbeat straight away, turned out the doppler he had tried to use was broken and he hadn't realised!! He was very apologetic as was the midwife but still don't know how I didn't have a major meltdown or how my OH didn't bop him one.

I also asked about the epidural/c-section thing and was told I can have one but they have to stop my medication 12 hours before labour starts for me to be able to have one. Now unless they have a magic wand to predict when I'm going to go into labour does that sound like they will induce me?

Got my 2nd GTT in 2 weeks and then scan and consultant appointment on 11th. Hoping I will still be able to see things on it at 28 weeks

V Day tomorrow x

Sorry to hear your appointment was so traumatic ikkle - sounds like the dr should be ashamed of himself. Congratulations on v-day tomorrow. It's so exciting to reach that milestone isn't it?
