    I know I will want to buy things and have no money! We have bought most things and have no money but then my mum, who also is quite skint, said to me the other day, there is nothing left to buy! She didn't offer to buy anything!

    I'm in work til 1 but I am hoping for some vouchers for a 4d scan as we still havent booked though I will be 31 weeks then and they say 27-32 weeks... maybe just some demonstrations of things too? With that living social deal, I, getting a free 'vintage' scarf and with tickets now £3 I think they must be getting desperate!

    I've read back to where I thought I missed but no new babies and don't feel caught up, may try again...! I don't know how those of you preggo with one or more toddlers are managing... I taught an hour preschool music and dance today and was struggling a lot more after than with my usual classes!!

    huge labour vibes to ladylegs and other boldies!

    ww2b - are you enjoying daddy cuddles yet?

    To all who are bouncing on their balls - I attended two NHS physio classes where I was told that bouncing is a BIG NO NO until you're ready for labour. It is, however, very good to rock on the ball backwards and forwards and to both sides.

    I'm really happy today - tomorrow is my last day at work! :T
    It feels a bit surreal just now - I feel like I'm going on holiday. I think my brain just can't process the fact I'll be off for 7-10 months. I'm so tired with the pregnancy and pregnancy pains now that I can't wait till tomorrow evening but I wonder when I'm going to start missing work.

    I'm exactly 36 weeks today and over the last 2 days 4 people independently told me my bump looks really low and I look like I'm ready to have the baby any moment! Have my MW appointment tomorrow so will find out if the baby is engaged.
  • in established labour but not yet got an end in sight. might have daddy cuddles by Sunday... we are on IV oxytocin and waiting...
    Having fun trying to save money without going over the top and living on budget food all the time...

    Another big mystery of the pregnancy land. My physios are womens health ones (ones for pregnant ladies), and they say to bounce...not like a loon but a gentle bounce.

    Bah, it's just like food. Everyone tells you different. Next they'll tell us that wine is the best thing to drink whilst pregnant. :rotfl: Well a girl can dream (although the thought of wine since being pregnant actually makes me want to be sick).

    Good luck to your OH ww2br and of course yourself.
    That oxytocin sent me forging ahead so maybe it will do the sane for you.

    My physio classes were special ones for pregnant ladies too, how odd!

    Is anyone doing anything for their DH/OH for fatherday?

    Not sure whether to do anything.


    DH took me to TGI Friday for Mother's day (which I loooove!)

    I might just return the favour (then I get TGI Friday for me!! yum yum)

    i got my ball from TK max too, good quality with a pump for about £10. i have been given a few exercies from my physio, mainly core stability exercises as well as the rocking from side to side, sitting on ball and improving balance/core stability by lifting one foot of ground and holding for 5 seconds, do alternative feet, i do about 20 of these. then also rolling your bum in a 8 shape, hard to explain.

    ww2b - *strength vibes* to you and your wife

    rebekah - i have also printed off your papoose pattern, now to find someone to knit it

    belly really feeling like a weight now, urgh, felt ok today after a good nights sleep, back is starting to play up now as have been at PC for an hour. have had a few feelings of reflux, hope it doesnt get worse.

    i havent even thought about getting OH card from the bump, think i will leave it till next year when baby is here.

    sweat dreams ladies,

    Laura
