Bloody hell i pooped lol. Rups I have found heavenly feet flat electro shoes invaluable. They are so Comfy and I don't need help getting them on! My feet are so puffy I can't fit into my normal size so had to buy a seven for my graduation shoes.

I tried on a pair of rieker shoes yesterday and if they hadn't been £50 I would have bought them
But alas no budget for them!

Consultant appt tomorrow. Hoping they will deal with the breech issue then instead of making me come back next week.

Hope everyone well off to my daisy birthing class tonight to chill. Kind of defeats the purpose tho when I have to get back and clean out car and do some eBay wrapping lol.

AMC - my NCT teacher recommended n!pple-tweaking as that releases the same hormone I think??

Yes I've read about that. I'm a bit of a prude about it to be honest Probably easier to do a DIY job ... I'll try a curry on Friday anyway and going for some walks!

Sm I just had my nap lol, ours go on until 9:30 too. Am getting a bit nervous. Hope you're feeling a bit better now.
Rups although not really cheap fit flops are so comfy and supportive! I've many pairs of those and their winter boots. to be honest I've not got really toned up legs as they claim though but you can just slip them on and they do pretty sparkling ones
Chrissy hugs, sometimes men are daft and probably think they're 'protecting' us by not being 100% honest. Maybe if he knows you understand how hard it is he might be more open. Saying that I thought an ex had given up smoking, I never saw him smoke. Turns out he'd been smoking at work, at his mums, out with friends etc for well over a year. To say I felt like a t!t would be an understatement!
Happy nice to see you over here. You been doing any sewing today?
Carrie welcome!

Well I need to get up and freshen up, probably get dressed too lol. Make some butties to munch on the way to our class.
Will let you know how it goes xx

Woop! Just found out one of the products I'm testing for Practical Parenting and Pregnancy magazine is the hypnobirthing cd I want. I added it to my basket last night after a recommendation and was going to check out - glad I didn't now! Also getting 2 different pillows, some bio oil, palmers massage lotion, some rosehip oil, pregnancy vitamins and a Bando.

If you don't manage to find any I wouldn't worry too much Sam. I didn't go to classes before I had my first, and although the birth experience was dreadful I don't think classes would have made any difference. I just looked most of the information up online. The only thing I would have liked to have had is the social experience, but as long as you go to mother and baby groups afterwards you'll get that anyway.



I know exactly how that feels, hubby did that to me when I was 36 weeks pregnant with my 2nd. He announced that we needed to talk about having nothing in common and how boring I was. Two nights later he decided to leave, but he was back to normal by the end of the following week, realising that it was just the pressure of having a second child to look after and provide for that was freaking him out. Of course he scared me and caused a lot of stress at the time, yet he's still here 6 years later! It might be worth talking to your hubby in case he is feeling pressure or worry, I think it can be hard for men to realise why they are reacting the way they are. And it is a major change for them too. Hope you manage to talk things through and he starts looking after you.

Rups - hope you finally get hold of someone today.

emsbet - hope the hips ease up for you.

Morning all!

I don't think I've been awake properly at this time for weeks! I actually slept from 11ish last night with a couple of wee breaks, but straight back to sleep. Didn't even hear OH leave for work still a bit achy from yesterday's adventure though.

Rups I think different places call them different things. I think ours is early pregnancy assessment unit or something....I dunno really thankfully only needed to go once. Just tell your boss you'll be a bit late or something. Good luck, hope you get reassured
Emsbet hugs for your achy hips hun, try and take it a little bit easy today if you can. Yay for 32 weeks :j
Kitten hope you get well soon. I'm with you, mucus is not sexy But your hubby sounds so lovely trying to convince you it it
Student Mrs sorry to hear hubby is being silly, sure it's like Katy said and it's just nerves. They do pick their moments though.
Dizsie that does sound offensive. For some reason I have a yellow mustard colour in my mind. Can you take off the cover? Sometimes it's a lovely plain wicker basket underneath.
Clarissa hope your midwife appointment goes well
Elj and Sillymoo sending big labour vibes your way. Hope your babies make an appearance soon

We've got our first antenatal class tonight. I'm actually quite nervous, I think because it's finally dawning on me that we're having a baby! I know I'm a bit slow. The hospital didn't get back to me with a new scan date yday. Did ring just after four but guess they'd all finished so will chase them this morning. I know they're short of slots but a 28wk growth scan at 37 weeks is just daft. Did they think I wouldn't notice?! :rotfl:

Hugs to those who need them, hope everyone has a good day
Off to make a cuppa xxx

Can't figure out how to multi-quote over a couple of pages but thanks for the responses... I just can't work it out, feels like I've been hit by a bus and all I keep thinking is that my husband wants to leave me. He's just saying he's never been happy and he doesn't see how I can be when we have nothing in common?!

I can't relax now and think of things like, when I look back at this photo/this time in my life will I be thinking that my hubby was planning to leave me?! Grrr. I don't know if he knows how to be happy, he's been on anti depressants in the past and is at uni even though he struggles with his dyslexia so I know he was worried about being the traditional supportive partner with finances and he's not even sure what type of job he's going to go for which stresses him out. He wanted to be in the army when he was 16, parents said no to signing the forms, then he tried to be in the TA when we were first married but as doc had put his back on anti-depressants for sleeping problems he couldn't go through it.

I normally love supporting him and trying to find him a purpose and joy but it just seems now that he wants to be away from me. And the way he says it, that we should both be happy and not ruin baby boy's life of course makes sense but I can't think of anything worse than being apart.

Sigh. In other news, 35 weeks tomorrow and just had first eyebrow wax since April - ouch!!!

KatyLiz

Mrs_Student he really is being an idiot (although I could think of far less polite words!!), sorry that you are having to go through this. If he didn't ever think you had anything in common or could be happy together then surely he wouldn't have married you or wanted a baby. It may be down to depression that he is talking that way, does he see the GP anymore? I think it'd definitely be worth seeing if he needs help again. Hope you are holding up ok.

Hugs student, that sounds rough. Men are rubbish. I can't give you any advice but if you need a shoulder I'm here.

I'm now 36+4 and my DH still isn't showing any interest in baby/bump so just not talking about it at home. He does come to my consultant appointments though, next one on Thursday.

Since Saturday I keep getting period type pains, only once or twice a day, and braxton hicks everynight, so I'm hoping this means bubba is going to make an appearance on or before due date. Will ask the consultant Thursday as definitely got more discharge too, just in case an infection.

My hand is slowly turning black where I bashed it, bruise going half way up my thumb too so nice and attractive!

Hope everyone else is OK, I am pooped but really need to try and get my assignment finished ASAP just in case the baby comes soon!

Moneypuddle you need to be careful with your employer saying you are working when your not. Your entitled to both KIT days you work and to be paid your holiday you accrue whilst your off. Make sure you don't miss out on KIT days if you want them if he has processed KIT as holiday.

If your have holiday left that you have accrued before leave, I would be asking them to take it before MAT leave starts or paid in one lump sum.

Don't want you to miss out

Ikkle I am so jealous! I have that hypnobirth CD in my basket too - you'll have to try it and let me know if it is any good! What fab stuff you have! I guess it is too late to join in tester panels?

Sorry you are having a rubbish time Student_Mrs big hugs

I don't even know how I joined up to it hun, think it was a reply to an email one day while I was on the bus somewhere. I think they come around every so often though I'm not sure. I will definitely let you know though. I'm hoping it will let me put it on my iPhone so I can listen to it through that.

StudentMrs - I'm sure your OH doesn't want to leave you hun it's probably a combination of his depression and him being male that's meant he has said something tactless without thinking about its effect on you x

Hugs Student_Mrs...
Perhaps he's just getting freaked out a bit that the baby's almost here (doesn't feel grown up enough, or something like that) and as a result he's saying other stupid things as some kind of coping mechanism. Hope it all blows over for you sharpish but if not do you think counselling would help? Would he go?
