:wave: Welcome izzydogsam, I've added you to the list

We got back a few hours ago and I'm now siting with my feet up as my ankles have gone huge! They've been a bit puffy for a while but they seem to have gotten worse the last few days I think if they are still puffy in the morning I'll ring the midwife just to check.

Waiting for DH to get out of the shower so we can order tea.

Hope you are all well

we have been naughty and ordered some Dominos. oops.

jediquigley

bikelesschick - re OH helping out, just as rups said explain how you feel. dont push yourself to do things just leave it, your health and your babies is more important. i have struggled through pregnancy, nausea up to 16 weeks made me do less then from week 20 back pain every day and tiredness amoungst that. OH has been doing more around the house. he does more cleaning but i usually have to point things out to him and he doesnt do a thorough clean like i do but so what, housework cant wait. now i am 37 weeks bump is a lot bigger and bending down is hard so i am always asking for his help.

re baths - it is difficult to get out of them esp now as i am 37 weeks hehe but my sister says the first thing they say to you when you ring up and say you are in labour is take paracetamol and have a bath. i really dont think i will want to be struggling to get in a bath when i am in labour.

i am now on labour watch as well Rebekah - every different feeling you wonder whether it is things starting. although i know its highly unlikely i will go into labour at 37 weeks. i still have 3 days left at work next week - wed,thurs and fri cant wait to get on proper mat leave.

welcome to izzydogsam

had a 2 hour nap this afternoon.

sleep is really crap still - i dont remember the last time i slept through. i wake and have to reshuffle about every 2 - 3 hours because my hips get sore.

hope everyone is enjoying their weekends

i was just searching the net to work out if my baby has dropped, its not obvious to me that it has but i do feel more pressure down there and a bit of pain came across these 8 signs which i thought was useful.

8 Signs That Labor is Near

Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 05/19/2011 - 16:57

• Ninth Month

1. Dropping. Some time during the final few weeks you may notice thatyour baby has moved down lower in your abdomen. Most first-timers notice their babies dropping within two weeks of delivery, though some mothers "drop" as many as four weeks before D-day. Second-time mothers often find their babies do not drop lower until labor begins, because mom's pelvic muscles have already been stretched, and no warm-up is needed. Baby's head settling into the pelvis is also called "lightening" (because the lower-riding load seems smaller and lighter) or "engagement" (since baby's head engages the pelvic opening). Whether baby "drops," "lightens," or "engages," you will feel and look different. Your breasts probably no longer touch the top of your abdomen. You might be able to sense baby's head resting just beneath the middle of your pelvic bone.
2. Frequent urination. Now that baby's head lies closer to your bladder you may be going to the bathroom more often.
3. Low backache. As baby gets heavier and drops lower, count on some aches or pains in your lower back and pelvis as your uterine and pelvic ligaments are stretched even more.
4. Stronger Braxton-Hicks contractions. You may notice that your warm- up contractions go from feeling uncomfortable to being rather painful like menstrual cramps. Even though these prelabor contractions are not as strong as labor contractions, they are strong enough to be starting the work of thinning out, or effacing, your cervix from a thick-walled cone to a thin-walled cup. While these contractions will get even stronger just prior to labor, they can continue this way, on and off, for a week or two before labor starts. They become less intense when you change position or start walking.
5. Diarrhea. Birth hormones acting on your intestines may cause abdominal cramps and loose, frequent bowel movements -- nature's enema, emptying your intestines to make more room for baby's passage. Those same hormones can also make you feel nauseated.
6. Increased vaginal discharge. You may notice more egg white or pink- tinged vaginal discharge. This differs from the "bloody show."
7. Bloody show. The combination of baby's head descending into the pelvic cavity and the prelabor contractions thinning the cervix can "uncork" the mucus plug that previously sealed the cervix. The consistency of this mucus varies from stringy to thick and gooey. Some women notice the one-time passing of an obvious mucus plug; others simply notice increased blood-tinged vaginal discharge. Some of the tiny blood vessels in your cervix break as your cervix thins, so you may see anything from a pink to a brownish-red-tinged teaspoonful of bloody mucous. If your discharge shows more blood than mucus – like a menstrual period or a lot of bright-red blood -- report this to your practitioner immediately. Once you notice a bloody show, you are likely to begin labor within three days, but some mothers hang on for another week or two.
8. Bag of waters breaking. Only 1 in 10 mothers experience their bag of waters breaking prior to labor. For most mothers this doesn't happen until they are well into labor. If your water breaks before labor has started, plan on your labor starting intensely within the next few minutes or hours, or at least within the next day.

Thanks Laura that's a great list to work from.

I love all these guidelines. This could happen, but probably won't...basically nobody knows. Good luck!!

That's how I interpret it all. ha ha.

Re child benefit: if you want to read the article by Martin you can find it here:

http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/reclaim/2012/03/budget-2012-what-the-child-benefit-overhaul-means-for-you

Or I googled child benefit 2012 changes and there was loads of information stating how your earnings effect not necessarily what you get but what you have to repay through tax. In summary if neither in the house earns £50k or more you will get £20.30 per week for first child. If someone earns over £50k, you will have to repay some. I suggest you read the article to see how it may effect you if that is the case.
