I lost 4kg with morning sickness and it wasn't untill 20 weeks that I started to put it back on and now at 31weeks I have gained 10kg on my post pregnancy weight.

Thanks might ring on Monday re discharge as I have my daughter and noone to look after her and I'm sure she ain't allowed at the hospital lol

I've a question re baby clothes - when do you wash and iron them? If I do it at 36weeks will they be ok in 4-6 weeks time for the baby to wear or will I need to redo them so that they're freshly washed when the LO arrives?

I washed mine at around 34 weeks (I like to be prepared for every eventuality!) and they were still nice and fresh when baby arrived at 40 + 4. It's not so much that they need to be super-fresh, it's more that you want to get rid of any chemicals and loose threads looming in newly bought clothes, so I decided to just get it done sooner rather than later. As for ironing - never!

rjh. Please talk to a midwife urgently about the fluid leaking. It could be your amniotic fluid and if your membranes have ruptured your baby may be at risk of serious infection. Take care x

This - it's very easy for them to tell if it's amniotic fluid as well - they can just swab with something that looks exactly like the el-cheapo ebay pregnancy tests and it comes up with the two lines if it's very likely amniotic fluid... which is what ended up happening to me.

Turtle - there's a Birth Trauma Association facebook group I found really helpful in terms of starting to process what went on with Erin's birth (I've only reallly begun to start to do so now if we're honest) - while I agree with you on the "your labour, your choice" idea... when I tried to exercise my choice - the effers called social services on me - I don't think I'll ever move on from the anger I feel over that (my birth epic-saga is in this thread somewhere around Easter time). Like you - I'm convinced lots of the difficulties we had could have been avoided (she'd still have been 33 weeks gestation no matter what though) if they'd allowed me to remain mobile and stay more upright and I'm flipping well angry about it (as a follow-up note - I appear to have some long-term damage caused by it all - I get pain in one of my hips if I do a lot of walking - waiting to see what the physio says end of the month but it's not as if I'm in a position to sue the hospital unfortunately).

thanks for all the responses about how long people are working up to, i think if money wasnt an issue i would finish at 36 weeks but 38 isnt too far off.

my meal last night with a close friend last night turned out to be a baby shower meal with close family and friends, a total surprise and really enjoyable.

turtlemouse - thanks for your post, my OH is very against interventions and i am really hoping i will not have to resort to pethadine or epidural - they scare me. i hope my OH will give me the extra strength to stand up against midwife /doctors if they are pushing me to have these things. planning a water birth at the moment with gas & air and tens early on, i know plans dont always work out but i am hoping they will.
glad to hear you are back home with reuben:)

rjn - as a few ladies have already said - get it checked out, i wouldnt think normal vaginal discharge would leak so much so could be your waters. are you defo sure its not urine as when i have sneezed sometimes i have leaked.

Mrs Bryan - i am 34 weeks and have put on 2 stone...i expect i will put another half stone on before baby is here, maybe more.

BB - hope labour is going well

boobs are leaking today a wee bit, they went quiet for a few days hehe

Had my bloods today, got there at 9.15 and was number 25 in the queue! Luckily it went quite quickly, minimal pain and bruising. Then went to the shops, and after to a nearly new sale. Got two cream blankets for £2 and an ELC donkey toy for £1.50. There was someone selling a Medela Mini Electric Pump for £6, was a smidge away from buying it but OH persuaded me not to as he wants me to have new. Our viewpoint is that this is our first baby so we are splashing out a bit as we would like 3 eventually and everything can then be used for all babies so we get our monies worth.

Have been in agony much of the afternoon with the pain in my bum. It's the centre of my left bum cheek which just feels like constant cramp. It hurts so much unless i'm moving around but I'm tired and want to rest! Have come up to bed which is hopefully where I will stay for a few hours!
