MSE pregnancy club II

Glad all was well SB. This time you'll be wondering wether you'll have a 08/09 baby rather than sept/oct baby!
Helen D, I think everyone is different, I'm lucky to have a good boss and my colleuges are more like friends. I run to appointments, occasionally my colleuge will take my appt if they are free to give me a break. My boss is really happy for me that I am pregnant, I really dont think she sees it as an inconvenience. She's always asking if I need time off for appts ect, when I had morning sickness week7-12 she'd let me come in a bit later in the mornings and leave a few gaps in my schedule. I know I am lucky.
Hope everyone else is ok.xx

Hi all - i'm not new to MSE, but i've changed my name for this post cos lots of people don't know i'm expecting yet and i don't want them to find out through here!!

I found out last week i'm expecting No.3 at the start of Feb 2009 - its quite a shock but we're happy about it.

No.1 DS is 11 and No.2 DD is 7 so it seems a long time since i was pregnant and wanted to ask some other mums and mums to be some advice!

At the moment, i'm six weeks. Before I did the test I had the tell tale sick feeling (all day), tiredness and very very sore boobs - both of which i remember from all those years ago!

But although i'm really tired, i've been cleaning the house yesterday after work and today like a mad woman - windows and all! Although I remember manically bleaching the kitchen walls the day before DD arrived, I dont remember this madness early in pregnancy! Has anyone else had it?

I'm planning on being a regular in here now, i've not told anyone yet (apart from OH) - so can't speak to them! So you are my only (new) friends!!

Probably a stupid question but I'm not due to see my midwife til midweek.

When people say the baby is "engaged" what does that mean and how do you know it is/has happened??

I'm 37 weeks at the moment and huge (I think their dates are wrong) and just want this baby out of here so I can meet them!!

Cheers

it means ur baby is sitting in between ur pubic bones.
first babies usually engage quite early on.if u look in ur green notes theres a page near the back that explains it i think or if u were given and green and purple pregnancy information book theres a page showing a picture explaining what engaged means.
the further down the baby moves the more engaged it is so if the head is just at the top of the two pubic bones ur "palpable" so the baby may move out then the further babys head sinks down the more engaged it is so it goes 4/5th engaged
3/5th,2/5th,1/5th then fully engaged so the head wont come out and is ready for birth.hope this helps a bit

Hi all - just thought I'd check in and say hi. Found out last week that I'm expecting baby number three. I have 2 boys 5 and 4. We've been trying since February so are happy and excited. However, feeling some apprehention now. Hope this is the right thing for our family. 8 months seems a long way away although after 2 horrible birth experiences, I'm already worrying about the birth. Am hoping for a home birth this time.
To 3onitsway - After I found out last week I started scrubbing the walls down! God knows why! I just suddenly noticed that they really needed doing and went for it!
