Oh thats brilliant news,I never knew this. I have my 36 week check with the MW on thurs,so will def ask about support groups. Also need to ask about whether our hospital rents out tens machines. If not,have heard great things about the elle tens which you can buy for about £50,which has a great little boost button apparently.

I used the Elle TENS, and it saw me through. It's kind of one of things though, I don't know *exactly* how good it was as I didn't turn it off to see what the pains were like without it! One thing I did find, but I don't know if I just got a dodgy pad, was that a couple of the electrode pads kept coming off, so I had to keep pressing them back down. But apart from that, it was easy to use and I'm glad I used it. At the end of the day, if it did help with the pains then I wouldn't have liked to try without it! :rotfl:

Thanks. I'm trying not to. I know that even if it didn't contribute it wasn't my fault because I didn't know but still At least I haven't had any in this pregnancy so I won't be worrying about it.

I am back! The scan was fine, upsetting again, as I couldn't see anything - she showed me the screen for 30 sec before any measurements, and after for about a minute or two and took some of the worst photos you can imagine - you can barely see the baby! She would get a nice view, and then move the probe and take a picture!!! I said to OH I want a private scan so that I can see babies as well, not just he!!!! It just feel so unfair - I have to carry them, get through all the pregnancy woes, and he just comes for the scans and get all the show! Am I expecting too much? How are your scans? Do you also get the 'crumbs'?

Also, she asked me if I got the date for the next scans, and when I said I will be having them every 4 weeks, she sort of said why? Who told me that. I said the consultant, and it is in my notes, but she was sort of questioning if there is any reason for that or did I have any previous issues or something. It is not her bloody job to do this!

Anyway, she didn't notice any anomalies, the femour, head and abdominal circumferences measure more or less the same, so I am happy they are growing at a similar rate. And, we possibly have one foot in each team! She wasn't very sure of either of them, she couldn't get a decent view, but she thinks one of them is a boy, s she could see something (like testies) on one of them, but then with the second one she could get the right view, but thought it is probably a girl. So, we cannot be sure, but possibly, it is one of each!

This might be quite contrivertial but.....

I think a lot of this "do that" and "don't do that" is rubbish.

Many thousands and millions of women had babies before any of this advice came to light and probably did allsorts of things during pregnancy that we think we shouldn't.

For example raw meat and alcohol were a stable part of diets and hygiene levels were awful, but they were ok. Cows milk would have come straight from the cow!

What I think I am trying to say is - don't beat yourself up, I know easier said than done, but try not to let it stress you out. If Lysteria was a contributing factor you would have been told about it.
