Well midwife appointment was only an hour late, grrrr. But all good with baby. She's offered me a sweep next Thursday if I'm still waiting. The tips were eat anything that will get bowels working. I don't do curry, so she said black cherries or pineapple. I love pineapple. Keep active, bounce on the ball, and of course, sex.

Pineapple and bouncing it is then! Haha

On a different note. If anyone is after new towels, mine just arrived and they great. Tesco have got 50% off. I got twin pack bath sheets for £9, marked down from £18. They nice and big and heavy. Just popped them in the wash now

Pineapple and bouncing on ball and OH

Lying across the belly rather than the usual head up or down position, Baby is lying with its back inwards and head to my right side, bum to the left and hands/feet to the front.

Sometimes she might do a little roll over or stretch which feels really odd.

I am pretty sure mine says breach and trans on my notes!! Very confused how that can be but will check when I get home.

Thanks flutterby. I am feeling more positive its just this dreadful limbo i feel im in until this baby is born incase he rears his ugly head. I have so many people telling me i should contact him and give him the chance to be at the birth etc but as far as im concerned he is not interested and im not going to beg. I havent heard a peep out of him now since the beginnning of November so its clear he doesnt give a monkeys. I think once Mr Wrigglechops is here that will give me a new focus and ill regain my perspective. His loss is my gain and more fool him.

Hi all... finally awake after the most horrific sleep-disturbed night going since one of the dogs kept waking with the runs (she goes through this about once a month - vet can't find rhyme nor reason and we can't pay for tonnes of investigations with no probable answer) and the cold and wanting out every hour - and since my blooming pelvis is shot to hell and stairs make me cry by the end of the day - hubby was doing the outs and getting more and more annoyed with it, stressing me out and I can't sleep properly anyway because of the pain. Trying desperately not to complain about the SPD and being pregnant - after all the hell we went through to get here I know how badly I wanted to slap women who did whine for 9 months - but I'm at my wits end with the pelvic pain already and I'm only 24 weeks, I need to be mobile to walk two dogs (one very energetic one - one that can take or leave walkies) since one's visibly starting to suffer from a lack of walkies now, and I need to be able to work as much as possible since I have no maternity rights whatsoever and need to make as much money as I can - and instead I'm owwwing my way up the stairs to the loo by 6pm every evening.

Consultant knows it's causing me problems but seems delighted they've finally got something to pin on my weight and make me suffer a bit to be honest - got to see MW next week in the hope of some way forward but not holding any hope.

So yeah - absolutely exhausted and really hormonally on-edge as well - having one of those days where I just want to cry cos I'm still convinced I'm going to lose this one (despite the fact she's kicking me as I type this) and I'm so sick of being bloody scared about it all because of the flipping miscarriages! Thankfully hubby's ducking out of work early because his meeting's been cancelled and doing the Tesco run so I don't have to brave that one.

Yeah cos in a way you will be wondering if he will show up, be involved, etc. I went through the same emotions, thoughts and feelings. It was very hard for me as there was only 2 weeks between me and my sister in our pregnancy and she was happily married and I was engaged to be married when trying for the baby, but single from 3 months pregnant.

It is his loss, you are damn right - after I had been told once that he didn't want to be involved i just left him too it, he had been given the chance to come to birth, i kept him involved with names etc, but he never made any effort!!

Oh dizzi i hope you get some answers and help next week, poor you.

He never even contacted me to ask how the scan went or anything. The last i heard from him was when he told me to let him know when i had 'got rid'!! I think thats says it all and i am just not prepared to try and force his hand to have something to do with his child when he clearly doesnt want too. My conscience is clear.

Dizzi, have you tried a support belt? I bought one from Mothercare after having no sleep this weekend due to pain and it has worked wonders. I wear it during the day and take it off when I go to bed. Might be worth a try, only £12 if it doesnt work.

I have a bit of a personal question for any ladies that are willing to answer; after my bleeding I checked where my cervix was and found it is literally just inside, maybe a finger tip away from the opening. Has anyone else checked the position of theirs, I just wondered if it is normal for it to be that low or if its my low cervix that is causing me problems? I am going to see my MW on Monday because of the bleed so will get her to check but was just curious to know where everyone elses were as I thought they were usually quite high up?

Oh dizzi that does sound horrendous and i hope that you will get some advice off your midwife when you see her. Its not something i have suffered from but it doesnt sound nice at all and its understandable why you are feeling emotional. Hope you can have a relaxed afternoon.

erm im not sure hun mines wayyy up there, but i have a short cervix thats why i tend to deliver early
