    Fluff sounds promising :) I get confused though obv 3/5 is halfway engaged but in my head 5/5 would be fully engaged. I must learn my terminology! And quickly.

    I thought this too until I asked! In my notes it's said 3/5 for a while but the midwife said that means she can feel 3/5ths of the baby's head, i.e. the smaller the percentage, the more engaged the head is! So 1/5 means that she can only feel 1/5 and the rest is in my pelvis. They also try to waggle the head from side to side - if they can't move it, it generally means it's quite far down. Gulp!

    Emsbet I was about to accept your sincere apology then I realised you'd done it again! :p hehe

    You're going to have to blame the ladies who keep having their babies ;) June is a busy month so you will be a way higher but the time the month is over!

    Hope your pain gets better soon, rest up lady! I've done too much this week so I plan on sitting on the sofa for most of the day laughing at people getting wet outside! ;)

    I'm 69 now :D

    I'm only 17 weeks. This doesn't seem entirely fair. It's ok though *looks around for other pregnant women to drag onto the thread*

    Lol is that when you conceived then? Using that theory, I predict there won't be too many babies next march/april time as most men are too busy watching the euro to BD at the moment :D

    Unless England win. Then you'll get a right old peak come next March/April! Celebratory bunk-ups innit. It happened in 1967 after England won the world cup apparently :D

    I think after the footie finishes the wives/gfs are glad to get some attention from the men lol.

    Thanks Emsbet I'm trying to rest today, but I keep seeing things that need to be done.

    Last night MIL offered to buy us a cot :j we'd been given one months ago for free so we weren't so worried about looking at any. We (I) really wanted a white one so was going to paint the free one. So what cots have people gone for? I quite like the idea of a cotbed, don't really know what the budget is. Don't want to really ask for an expensive one as I'd feel rude. Don't know where to start looking really, but quite excited :)

    We have this cot as we couldn't fit a cotbed in our little nursery.
