    Congrats Rakkibeth and Museumworker!

    Our pram is all set up now. It was quite straightforward - we got the Graco Evo from Mothercare and one of the reasons I liked it was because it was simple to operate. I love it and can't wait to have a little man to push around in it.

    hi everyone, can i join yous - i know its a little late in the day as i am 31w 5days now - we lost our wee girl at 27 weeks last july so have been a little reluctant to look forward to the arrival of this little monster - however its getting a bit close now and i really need to get my finger out and get things organised :) we are def team blue this time and all is going great this time. there are just so many choices to make about everything there is to buy - i wish someone would sell a bundle of everything you need to get started :) i cant even decide what i need to sort for my hosp bag never mind the days after :)

    hope everyone is having an easy time of it or as easy as the glamerous state of pregnancy allows :)

    Hi I luv! I remember you from TTC thread too, but didn't realise that you'd had the loss quite so late, glad you are on the way now. And thanks for being added to the list, I was worried I'd gotten to 38 but now back to number 39!

    Congratulations to rakkibeth, BB and Sally! All lovely names, will we get to see pics?

    ferrety, I could have written your post today, 31 weeks wednesday and so uncomfortable! I'm woth quite a small bump so thinking there isn't much room but also keep feeling really dizzy and overheated at times. jedi, I am working in my temporary job until 38 weeks cus of money and hoping that this uncomfortable feeling doesn't last too long!!

    so... 9 weeks wednesday until baby is supposed to come, our nursery furniture should come next week, I am teaching for 4 more weeks and in work for 7 more... things are scary now they are in single figures, I am so unprepared for this...! doesn't help that i keep having meetings about my new job which is starting 10 weeks after baby comes, 1 day a week, if all has gone well with birth but with all these c sections and everything, i dont know what will happen...

    on the plus side, my pregnancy yoga teacher said tonight I was carrying it well, and asked how long i had to go as I don't look big.. hmm.

    shame we can't join that facebook, I was looking forward to joining and seeing the elusive emsbet, kittenpie, happydays and many more!

    big (((hugs))) to all

    EDIT: Congratulations museumworker!!

    Hi again everyone, wondering whether anyone can set my mind at rest this evening? I'm seeing my midwife on Wednesday and am sure there's no need to trouble her before then, just looking for reassurance really!

    I'm nearly seventeen weeks right now, and have not put on a single pound in weight yet - does this seem normal to you lot? I've never been one to weigh myself but when I found out at six weeks I was expecting, I went out and bought a set of scales and weighed eight stone six that day. Haven't bothered since, and expected I would have gained a bit cos my trousers are tighter, but weighed today and am still exactly the same weight! Can't help wondering is this ok? Twelve week scan was fine, haven't seen any medical types since, feeling well and my tummy feels a little bit..harder...every day so I am hoping all is well. Any thoughts?

    Don't worry about - most people lose weight in their first trimester.

    Congratulations BB, even though it was traumatic at least your little one is here now!

    On the weight gain side I'm 16+something now and I don't think I've gained any weight either. As I have a noticable bump I'm not sure where I've been stealing weight from. I'm eating when hungry and morning sickness is largely over so I presume it'll come as it comes. Baby is only 100g or so (says my babycentre app) so the rest of this bump must just be fluid and so on.

  • Hello all,
    Been a very rough couple of days here, cannot walk really and hands are still not gripping things. Barely been online at all today which is unlike me, except to tackle online sainsburys which seemed to take hours :o and tired me out lol. I have been lazing a lot though ;)

    Congrats BB, rakkibeth and museum worker wow a day away and you're like buses three babies at once lol. Glad you're all doing well and LOs arrived safely. Lovely names too :)

    Welcome I luv freebies, congrats on team blue. Sorry to hear of your loss last yr. must be difficult to get excited at times. hopefully you can start getting all the baby stuff ready.
    Kitten hugs for aches and pains. I guess it's a long time for your body to be under the stress of pregnancy. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for you.
    Missbunbury some people really don't put a lot of weight on, especially if you may have lost a little due to morning sickness at the beginning. Unfortunately I am not one of them. I would mention it to the midwife on Wednesday. Have you a date for your 20 week scan yet? If she's worried maybe she can get it done sooner so they can have a good look at bubba. if bubba's doing ok and growing well then I wouldn't worry.

    On a positive I booked our 4d scan :) a week on Saturday. Went for a slightly more expensive package but it includes DVD, images on a cd, framed print and a bear with the baby's heartbeat recorded in. I know it's a bit gimmicky but I've wanted that bear ever since I went there for our first scan.

    Big labour vibes for the boldies and hugs to all that need them.
    Tomorrow will hopefully be a better day :)
