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.

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.

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,

Twinklie I know how horrible an email like that can be. At least it was an email and not a phone call putting you on the spot.

Get signed off and just be very factual with them.

I agree with Kitten. get your sick note from Dr

How annoying for you :mad:

Just an update from a grumpy labouring boldie.
I started a slow evil back labour yesterday at 3pm, getting to 2 in 10 minutes and got to hosp about 10pm only to be told by an abrupt and quite flippant midwife I was only 1cm dilated as she waggled the 1 finger at me (hilarious you will all agree!!!:mad:) and made to feel like !!!!!! by a receptionist because in the rush to get my DD to my Mum's we didn't phone ahead.
Had excellent midwives last time out but last night I decided I'd rather take my chances at home than meet the horror that examined me earlier in the night.:( Might complain later on - she was truly awful and hope you all get better professional care.
No sleep all night - just faffing with my Mama Tens (wished I'd stuck with the idiot-proof Elle Tens) and now just groaning over a ball with the same rectal pain I had last time. Sorry if TMI.:o
Got a sweep in 2 hours so we'll see if I'm any nearer...If I'm still failing to progress I'll have to forego a VBAC and demand the section.

Some women must just be rubbish at labouring and it looks like I'm one of them but I'd be first for a medal for pointless fast and frequent contractions.

Please urge my lazy cervix to open.

Please ladyleg's cervix OPEN!!!:rotfl:

Sexymouse - just a thought but is your bra supportive enough? That might affect your back

Good luck ladylegs - hope things are progressing a bit more for you now and you get a nice midwife.

Just got home from work, and back has been killing me since yesterday - hardly slept, and it still hurts. Spoke to midwife about it last week and she said it's too early to refer me to a physio, but I'm hoping by my 28 week appointment that I'll be far enough along for them to do something. On a positive note though, I took my 40mg of omeprazole this morning, and touch wood, things seem to be going well. I haven't had to take any Gaviscon yet either, so will see if this continues after dinner too. I've been able to eat cake mid-morning at school too. :j Will be great if I only have to take one thing, as carrying the bottle of Gaviscon around with me when I go out anywhere isn't easy.

Also had a boy in my class who may have slapped cheek (his brother is off with it), and the school came into my class to tell me this afternoon - they were most concerned and said I could go home straight away if I wanted to, but I told them that I've had the tests and I'm immune, so I think they were really relieved - the Mum hadn't let them know what the other son was off with until nearly the end of the day!:mad:

Well I'm off to lie down and see if that relieves the pain between my shoulders.

Hugs and labour vibes where wanted.

sexymouse xx

that is so irresponsible of the mum. how annoying. Glad you didn't have anything to worry about though.

hope your back pain improves.

I know what you mean about carrying around gaviscon. My GP prescribed me a 500ml bottle of it. It's great but a bit heavy in my handbag :rotfl:

I was thinking bout going student but I would worry I would want to buy stuff and I have everything now lol. Do u think there will be any freebies?

I went to the baby show at London Excel. There weren't many freebies to be honest. I got a MAM bottle and 2 avent dummies. My BIL went about 4.5 years ago and got tons of freebies. I guess it's just a sign of the times.
