Hi all hope everyone is well have just had my 31 week midwife appointment. Heard the heartbeat again which was lovely but getting in a bit of a tizz about the birth. We're moving from devon to south wales and its taking forever-we first put the offer in in march! We shouldn't be far off completion now but am dreading rushing round once we've moved trying to find midwives and stuff-i can see it all being really last minute! I can see the baby arriving before we get settled!

Hi rups32!

Aaarrrggghhhh! Just typed a long message and it disappeared - again! I must be hitting a particlaur key unintentionally! Right, start again!

Rups! great to see you on here, been wondering when you were going to come across! So pleased that the scan went well. As for vitamins, I have been taking pregnacare throughout my pregnancy and when I forget to take it I get lots of tellings off from OH!

Silly Moo I was thinking about presents for my midwife the other day - i am lucky enough to see the same one each time at my surgery and she has been brilliant so will def get her a little something. As for the ones who attend at my labour, i will have some generic little goodies as thankyous at the ready but they're only going to get them if they really have ben fantastic! I;m not giving them out if they don't deserve them, lol!

LMM My Mum said she and Dad would get the cotbed we were after, but the one we want is from Babies R Us and it;s in a deal with mattress, bedding etc and is £375! OH thinks that this is a lot to ask for and I feel uncomfortable about it too, so I can empathise. It's my parents first grandchild so I know that they will want to contribute, but I would rather they told me what they wanted to put in so I don;t feel like I have pressured them into anything! The cotbed we are looking at is the Winnie the Pooh one in Antique Pine - it's the only one that OH likes!

House is finally getting sorted - OH is doing the loft flooring this weekend so my spare room will finally be cleared of all the junk! i can then get stuff on ebay/freecycle and clear some more space! plasterer is booked in for week after next and then the central heating goes in the week after that! We're looking at flooring at the mo, so the intention is to get that fitted when the heating is in and then the week after the decorator will be in to paint all of downstairs! We just need to add a massive bookcase in the recess, put some new skirting on and we're done! Phew! Then we can start on the nursery - lol!

Thanks missmonkeymoo. it is now sinking in for me. i need to get maternity clothes as my belly is out there already. we saw lots of gas in my belly today too around the baby. haha...

didnt even think about getting room prepared and stuff. that will be so exciting. DH can use his fiery temper into sorting stuff out rather than gettng irritable and annoying lol.

ok i still have my folic acid so i could go and get some pregnacare i suppose.

I think it's not essential to still take vitamins and folic acid Rups but I'm still taking my pregnancy multivitamin, which has folic acid in. I take Tesco's own pregnancy multivitamin. They have the same as pregnacare I think but are cheaper and Tesco often have them on 3 for 2.

Rups!!!!! I'm so so happy to see you on here. So happy you got to see your baby on a scan all happy

I took myself off to midwife today as I didn't go to Uni due to car being broken and no point going to see her at 34 weeks when I seeing consultant then too so went today at 32 weeks.

She said I'm a bit anaemic and to start taking iron tablets. Se also confirmed what I suspected anyway that baby is breech. Imnot too uncomfortable tho. Just don't appreciate the feet kicking my cervix lol. See consultant mid July so will see what they say. I presume if I'm breech I can't e under midwife care? Anyone know?

Nap time now xxx

Hi,

I've been trying to keep up but this thread moves so fast! I never got around to being added to the list, so hope it's not too late? My EDD is August 30th but I have a feeling it's more likely to be around a week later and that my baby is just MASSIVE... eek.

We are going for a surprise but have a v strong feeling it's a boy... mindyou for the first three months or so I was convinced it was a girl so who knows!

Hope everyone is well. Bump is really really hard today and kicks out if I try and bend over or squash it even a little bit. Grumpy bump!
