Hello everyone! Man, I am so uncomfortable at work today Is anyone else at the stage where baby is really pressing down now and you get stabbing pains in what feels like your bladder/downstairs area? It is so uncomfortable when he has a really wriggly hour and I feel like I can't sit at peace. I've been having to stand up while still trying to work at my PC! He seems to have gone a bit quiet now, but no doubt after I have my lunch he will start again! Let's hope the sun comes out again Claree! I am dressed for summer today too! I think it is due to brighten up again at 2-3ish

I've been on maternity leave for over a week and today is the first day I've had to myself to get anything useful done. So far I've washed the lounge and hall carpets, got 2 loads of washing done and out in the sunshine and been to see the midwife. Still measuring 2 weeks behind, but that seems to be down to the way I carry them - I'm not kidding myself that this one will be anything other than another whopper MW will give me a sweep when I next see her, I'll be 1 day over if I make it that far.

For now, I'm having a little catch up on Glee, then I'm going to do some shifting furniture around in the nursery and get the crib built

Hi all, not been on here for a few days, finally finishd moving in, unpacking, kicking builders and painters out and getting nursery finished!

Im ready for baby to come now, lol...gonna start bouncing on my ball today!

Congrats to any BAs I missed! And good luck to those coming up in june - iHateDida, your maternity leave is seriously late! How did you cope with being at work for so long

Not doing anything too interesting myself, I really want to get practicing on hypnobirth techniques, but am lacking motivation a little bit...prob too late now anyway :S

Also wanted to start perineal massage but again got waylaid by other stuff and prob too late now..

I hope everyone else is being more productive than me today!

How did you manage the perineal massage? I tried the other night and can't reach! :rotfl:TMI Alert! Obviously I can touch it, but I can't get around my bump to get my thumbs in there! (sorry! no other delicate way to ask!)

I started mine at the end of week 37 but was going to start it at the end of week 38 until some colleagues pulled me to one side. I work in a busy, hands on environment as well. I just got on with it but I did spend my first week of mat leave bored and sulky!

My God! How big is your bump?? Spread legs wide and go round the sides of bump with your arms, rather than over the top.

What's the chances of my doctor saying I can't fly at 29 weeks? Ryanair need a form to say that I can. Pregnancy has been completely uncomplicated except one high glucose test (3 "normal" ones since...)

I don't even know who to phone! :rotfl: My local midwifes are only in the dept. on a Monday & a Thursday so that's no help. I'm determined to get a holiday now!

The 5 night or 7 nights are still available. Just means you have to go get a tan for longer
