Vic - What advice did they give about the watery discharge? Sometimes I look like I've pee'd myself but it isn't pee at all:eek:

Well looks like I spoke too soon about the results of the GTT. Got home this evening and there was a message from the diabetic nurse at the hospital wanting to see me on Thursday morning for blood monitoring. Booo:( Doesn't come as a huge shock but I was hoping that as this baby doesn't like the sweet stuff I might have escaped GD.

They told me to wear a pad and keep an eye. At the moment I'm having to change my undies twice a day as they're always wet iykwim. They did an internal exam and told me my cervix is closed and the water is just watery discharge.

Sorry you have to go back to the hospital

Kerri the image of DH's face if I just reached down there and went 'oh only 3cm' has really tickled me so I might pretend to check myself just for that lol

Vic3 glad everything is ok, that must have been scary

BigZ lovely picture of littleZ

Angelmommy Joshua is adorable

GTT was fine although took longer as I had to wait half an hour for the first so grr but I didn't faint and me and DH had three courses at Frankie and Benny's afterwards so that was nice also told the name to the midwife (we're keeping it secret but I couldn't resist) and she said it was lovely not that she would have said if she didn't like it but still lol was told I'd hear quickly if I did have it but would maybe get a letter if I didn't

Thanks. I was very jittery, especially as I was seen on the midwife led unit and heard three babies being born whilst I was there :eek:

Sorry Lilly. Has she grown at all?

Hello everyone!! Gingerly posting here as I haven't been on this thread yet, I'm on the less than 12 weeks thread and I will be 12 weeks tomorrow.

I had a question and thought this might be the best place to get some info! My OH and I have been trying to find a cheap baby first aid course to attend early next year so we are clued up when baby arrives. They are just all SO expensive!!

So far the only fairly reasonable one we've been able to find is via NCT next year but even that is £50 per couple and it's quite a distance away. When my best friend was pregnant a few months ago she swears she found a Red Cross run course for £5 per person but she can't find any details to give me.

Has anyone done a course/booked onto one and been able to find a fairly cheap/reasonably priced one?

I know you can't put a price on your child's safety but blooming heck I'll be broke before the baby even comes at this rate!! Eep!

Thanks in advance x

Yes, thankfully, just not as much as we'd like and it's just a bit disappointing I said I'd lost some of my plug on Sunday and she said baby was quite low in my pelvis. She also said that in her experience, about 75% of babies born at 37 weeks by C-section who weighed <7lb ended up in special care. I didn't realise that her being there was quite a real possibility which has upset me a bit. I don't want to be on a post-natal ward recovering from surgery with no baby to look after.

I know I should try to look at the positives. There wasn't any calcification in the placenta and the doppler was okay. I think I'm just feeling a bit sorry for myself today.

I'm sorry, I'll stop whinging, I'm Just having a 'woe is me' evening. I need a rant 'coz men just don't bloody understand do they?

When I was on the ward yesterday (albeit for only 1hr!)
there was a lady having a good scream, but I later heard she was only 1cm dilated, god knows what she'll be like at the end! :rotfl:

I'm sorry to hear that is a possibility - I imagine the thought of it probably brings back difficult memories. :grouphug:
