Marta:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. I washed and ironed all the baby clothes, the nursery is ready and the hospital is 99% packed (need a bottle of water and some dried fruits to pack).

You need to get yourself checked out at your maternity unit especially if you are breech and are under the 37 week cut off.

Ikkle thanks for your reply. Just read about this...can't believe it all staring now. It makes it soooo real!.

How are you? Feeling better? Do you enjoy being a mum? Still BF?

hello ladies. hey ikkle. glad to know you are much better now. xxx

littlemoog good luck.. what does it mean when you see spotting then?

good luck to the boldies too. xxx

i think i have still bits and bobs missing from my hospital bags but the main things are there. am packing the snacks bag too but not sure what to take as dont want to eat heavy stuff. so far i have: lucozade orange, some jelly beans and those natural apricot bars, some crisps for dh. anything else anyone can suggest please?

bit tired as been doing little bits and bobs here and there. put a wash out and hope it doesnt rain. the clothes are never ending.

so Aida, you are losing your plug? wow.. have you rung the labour ward to ask what next? we are getting closer. i try and carry my notes too everywhere but get annoyed as its a thick booklet now. grrr

hello again. was checking out some breast pumps and boy are they expensive.

i was wondering whether i needed one right now as if i cant bf, then what good would it be right? so would it be advisable to wait till i can bf and then get one?

Rups32

oh yes was going to say that i am sure the other makes apart from the medela are good too right?

Now that you mention it I don't think I've had hiccups while pregnant. I have been burping an awful lot though. Perhaps it is that whole 'relaxing your muscles' thing - hiccups are normally if something got a bit stuck I think?

I can feel her kicking in my cervix so I knew it was still in breech....

You can still feel stuff in your cervix if they're head down, I think it must be hands over head?? Hope she turns around for you though
If it were me I'd look into the acupuncture route as a back up, while there is time for her to turn herself I'd like all the options I could find!

i have no control over gas issues anymore...lol. been with DH 4 years and had never released gas while with him but recently all is just coming out lol. sorry tmi. lol

aida you tried the crawling on all fours?

i looked through my notes today, so the midwife had initialed 'C' under presentation and 'L' under lie and under engaged i think (i cant remember now) she put 'F'. no idea what L and F mean. I think with C its the position of the baby right? it could have changed since then. i am seeing the doc this Friday for my 36 weeks.

When I mentioned it to my dad he said it's probably because my ribs have expanded and less room with the baby. Hiccups are a diaphram reaction of some sort. Suppose it can't react as much as it's pulled tighter? I've not even had colds (I usually get a lot) since I found out.
