    Mishka, glad the scan went well - congratulations on team blue!

    As for the delays - sounds just like my hospital... It really is frustrating, especially if you've rushed to get there :mad: However, I discovered (a bit too late...) that the delays are usually worse in the mornings, as everyone who's had an emergency overnight is sent for a scan as soon as they open at 9am - and emergencies obviously take priority over routine checks. By the afternoon they've often caught up with the appointments - once I was even seen bang on time at 3pm! :T

    for those ladies stocking up on maternity pads - dont go too crazy as if you have a C section there is a lot less bleeding. my sister didnt need to use most of her mat pads as she had a c section.

    is anyone else playing baby classical music? or is it just me lol

    as baby is nearly 28 weeks has now opened eyes and i have been shinning a torch on belly today but no reaction

    i am reading a really good book at the moment called "The Good Birth Companion" A practical guide to having the best labour and birth by Nicola Croft - if you are worried/ scared of labour its a good book to read. it is definately making me view labour more positively.

    i got the book out from my local library, its also on amazon for £8.15.

    Miss money - I'm with you on ice.... I can't get enough, don't care what it is, plain or flavoured, cubes or lollies, just the colder the better. I also love to crunch it which is really weird for me as pre-pregnancy this would have made my skin crawl. Home bargains have got 10 packs of jublees (sp?) at the mo, 69p for strawberry, 89p for orange....now I need to go and have one (or 3!) after talking about it!!

    Fluffnutter: Thinkwatching OBEM was what had got me worried about internal’s, I turned 24 lastweek so not far off the age for smears, apparently I'll be offered one after I've given birth,
    Everyone says that you get to the point where you just don’tcare in labour, I still can’t imagine myself being there! Hoping baby comes soon as I shaved all my legs and tidied myself up 'down below' for the sweep and it was soo much effort in the bath trying to get to all my legs that I can't be bothered to do it again but as my hair seems to grow rapidly I wont last more then 3 or 4 days before I'll need to do it all again! :o
    Nutella: Glad I inspired you! I am also having a girl, no idea how bigthough, bump has been measuring average, I do have a bigger head then averageeven now so hoping she doesn’t inherit!
    Jediquigley: Maybe I should have bought that book, gettingquite nervous about labour now. In termsof baby books I have ‘what to expect the first year’ which is quite a lot toget through, the other one I have is Your BabyWeek By Week: The ultimate guide to caring for your new baby by DrCaroline Fertleman and Simone Cave which I’ve enjoyed looking through, takesyou week by week to 6 months I think
    Spent this morning doing a big clean of the house, the ideais that I keep on top of it so that if the baby comes at any moment the houseis nice and tidy, this theory hasn’t worked as by the end of the day I have stuffeverywhere again! Doesnt help that we’vehad building work done and hubby has been painting the new lounge and hallwaythis morning, we were hoping to be back in the lounge before baby comes but don’tthink this is going to happen. Although afternearly 2 years of renovations I’m not too bothered!


    Been 5 and half hours since sweep and ……………. Feeling nothing! looking online a lot of people say they had cramps straight after...

    Thanks guys. Wondering what happens at the consultants my midwife said she thinks I will be on consultant led care so I'm hoping it means I will get extra scans. One Of the ladies who used to be on here called Toniq has sent me a Doppler so we've been listening to bubs which is great :)
