Ok they seem to have settled at between 9 and 11 minutes apart and more manageable on the birthing ball.. This could be it?

Ps I took paracetamol first thing haha x

Congrats Amy, enjoy your mummy cuddles

Alizee Good luck today, it definately sounds like labour to me, as others have said the contractions don't have to be regular to be doing their job, if you are in that much pain I would definately contact the delivery suite sooner rather than later

Emsbet :j for your DH feeling baby kick

Triangle Have a lovely last day at work

Re heartburn: I only have it mildly but it tends to be in the middle of the night when it strikes, I find munching on Rennies normally eases it enough to sleep

I don't think HV comes to visit pre-birth here, I certainly don't remember them doing last time with DS although in 7 years it might have changed. No-one has mentionned it yet so I will wait and see

Am getting nervous about consultants appointment on Monday After last MW visit said baby was measuring small, I can't help but be worried even though I know how hideously inaccurate it is and the sensible side of me says that I know she measured differently to the others... OH thinks I am being silly, he's probably right On the plus side, I should have a definate date for the section on Monday so can plan for that properly

(((hugs))) to all those in need

I have a HV appt next week (I'll be 34 weeks). She's not visiting me; I'll meet her at my local birthing centre. I wasn't expecting to see her until after the baby was born but it's nice to know what they're all about, isn't it?

HV just left, got my nice red book with all the leaflets etc to read

She seemed nice enough - although it was a bit hard to get a word in edgeways, I have a feeling she could be a bit of a battleaxe if she wanted....!

Doors have arrived, and carpet fitter coming over shortly to measure up....all go go go here!

Ive been googling autism. My mind is made up. he's autistic.
He's a fool. my toe really really hurts!

Sorry to hear you oh is being so awful to you but I don't think it's just due to autism.

I have asperger's & 2 of my son's are on the spectrum, we have trouble understanding how other people feel & seeing things from other's peoples point of view but we are not bullies.

I feel very uncomfortable seeing someone upset & there is no way i'd treat someone the way you describe.

It sounds like it's more part of his personality tbh, he may well have some autistic traits (most people do especially men as asperger's is sometimes referred to as extreme maleness) due to the lack of empathy etc.

Does anyone in his family have similar issue's? Is there anyone in his family you are close enough to confide in that could give him a kick up the backside?

Good morning ladies.

I've got an appointment at the aau (antental assessment unit) today, that's 2/3 hours of my life i'll never get back. :cool:

I absoloutely hate going every 2 weeks but have diabetes so need regular checkups, i've missed the last 2 appointments due to moving house etc so have to go & they are probably going to tell me off.

I hope everyone is ok & the babies are all behaving themselves.

I happen to agree with this Miss_Money. When you were talking about your OH's behaviour it didn't ring true with me that he had autism.

Sounds to me like he has anger management problems and that he's a bit of a bully (no doubt due to his inability to express himself effectively).

If he's serious about staying with you, then I think you should ask him to seek help with the way he behaves towards you and the kids. If he's unprepared to do this... well, you've got your answer then, haven't you.

i'm sorry i didn't mean to come across as disrespectful or imply anyone else was a bully. We have cut ALL contact with ALL his family due to their abuse of him in his childhood and continuing into adulthood.
I'd like to make clear he's not ALWAYS like this but little things build and then he blows. anyway erm.. i don't really have anything else to say sorry once again.
