It is so difficult in the early stages. I had my dating scan at 13 weeks then didn't see a midwife until 18+3 as round here they don't do a check at 16 weeks but do it at 18 instead. Those five and 1/2 weeks were the longest. I did start to feel movement sometime between 16 and 18 weeks but I wasn't sure that's what it was. I think it was made worse by the fact that we had scans every 2 weeks in the first tri so five weeks just seemed like an eternity.

MrsBryan, I'm outraged! Not only did you jump ahead of me and actually have your baby, YOU STOLE MY NAME TOO. If I have a boy, he's going to be Teddy!

Congratulations x!

Last night's super hot curry did nothing. Sore botty. No baby

Sorry to hear that Muffin isn't here yet fluffnutter - maybe she wants to arrive on my birthday (1st July).

It's funny you should say that, sm. My current date comes from the dating scan, but I was originally given 1st July based on the IVF dates. There's a school of thought that says if you have IVF you should go with those dates because they're more accurate than the size of the baby at the dating scan.

I've always had it in the back of my mind that Muffin's not actually due til tomorrow! I'd like her/him to come on the 1st too because it's a bit of a significant date for us; because the OH is so bad with remembering dates, he arranges everything for the 1st of the month. He happens to be born on the 1st, he proposed on the 1st, we married on the 1st.

It's also Canada day on 1st July, as well as being Princess Diana's birthday, so I always used to tell people that when I was growing up. It's one of my life ambitions to go to Canada on my birthday one year as it will be like the celebrations are for me. lol Now we have some Canadian friends, this may be possible too.

fluffnutter

Canada's fab. My brother used to live in Victoria on Vancouver Island. I've been a few times and travelled quite a bit in British Columbia and the Yukon. Don't know anything about the rest of the country, but the west's beautiful and everyone's really friendly.

Vitamins - better safe than sorry

Midwife appointment - I would call them and check just to be on the safe side. I'm sure you'll be OK waiting for an extra few days for an appointment, but if it worries you I think you should give them a ring. Who knows, they might be able to squeeze you in somewhere... Having said that, you could always go to the maternal assessment unit/antenatal drop-in (whatever they're called where you are!) for some reassurance if you're worried about anything before your next appointment - they're there to support and look after you and baby. Whatever you decide to do, just make sure you know the signs of labour, when to call the hospital if you go into labour and check that you have the phone numbers you need - at least if something happens before your next midwife appointment you will know what to do.

Breast pump - The general advice is to wait 4-6 weeks to allow breastfeeding to be established and not confuse baby, but if baby has trouble latching on and you struggle to breastfeed, you may want to start expressing much earlier to enable baby to get breast milk and for you to keep up your milk supply whilst you keep trying to get baby to feed from your breast. I struggled, so started expressing as soon as I got home from the hospital. Five bottles is definitely enough to start with - once you see how things go, you can always buy more if you need them.

Hope this is of some help

Thanks Nutella I really appreciate your advice. I was thinking re. the midwife appointment that it might be the last one I have before baby comes – if they ask me to come back in a week when I'm past 40 weeks I probably won't be able to get an appointment at short notice again! Also the midwife I see on a Tuesday session is rubbish, it's a shame I have to see her again. I don't like her one bit. She's very abrupt and never wants to answer questions. I think I'll ring up and try and have a chat with one of the other midwives.

Re. breastfeeding, am afraid I've got an apprehensive/rather negative attitude to it as I don't like the idea of anything latching on to my mammaries! So I feel like the breast pump is my insurance against that. I feel I owe it to baby to try but it's not something I want to do long term unless somehow it all goes like a dream.

Good luck fluffnutter with your baby, I hope he/she comes soon.

hey Gilly, thanks for the post re cloth nappies - which ones did you buy in the end? I have persuaded OH to use them and pretty much decided on Little Lambs bamboo ones but would be interested to hear what other people recommend? Thanks! x

Sorry hun just seen this, I've got a variety, I have some LL Bamboo but they take an age to dry. I have some Tots Bots Easy Fits and Some Bumgenius.

Out of them all I think I like the bumgenius the best, the tots bots are pretty good too though x
