Morning all. I'm definitely more unhinged when pregnant, it's one of those things I think. Plus we worry about really silly things and cry over butter/milk/m&s adverts etc.

Totally know what you mean. I looked like a right wierdo stood waiting for my parents (picking them up after a weeks holiday) in floods of tears as I was waiting for half hour at ther arrivals and was stood in what can only be explained at the time as my own little ending to Love actually. Bloody hormones!

5lb at 34+0? That's great! Tell your MW to sod off next time! I think you're in for a bigger baby than 7lb 4oz i'll guess at 8lb by birth

I want to hear from Scarlet, she'll be done by now!

I'm 34w+6, OH was 7lb3 and I was 7lb4 I would rather that than an 8lb baby but as long as she is healthy then that's all the matters. She still has her Daddy's little legs though.

hi ladies

I have been sent home from work. baby is lying very low and I am struggling to stand up straight, feels like really bad period/belly pain.

Aw no, I hope you start to feel more comfortable soon. These babies like to make us uncomfortable. OH had to do my boots up for me this morning!!! I felt really lame.

Sorry that has me chuckling, I love that film though. I did something similar when OH was coming back after 4 mnths in canada, except he was waiting at the airport and I was stuck in traffic in tears on the M25 not even pregnant then either.

But Kerri, they'd only been away a week to St Lucia! I rang my DH who was saying "Oh Jem it's ok, just dont look at anyone else it might help you stop crying" as everywhere I looked there were all these people getting re-united after God knows how long! I attracted some very strange looks! I'd have thought me a right oddball if i'd have seen me too! Poor people of Manchester airport!

Hi all, pic to follow soon, I promise. We were discharged late last night from hospital and had a really decent night with Thomas. They picked up that he had a moderate tongue tie so that was sorted out yesterday. We are struggling a little with breast feeding but are persevering with it.

Just wondering how finch and abis are getting on? Huge amounts of good luck to scarlet. I managed to send her a pm last night.

Oh dear jemb, if it helps I've had to ban myself from reading greetings cards after too many incidents lol

Kerri glad everything is ok, hopefully it'll keep the midwives quiet for a while

MrsB hope you're following medical advice to the letter

BigZ I hope the tour helps alleviate your anxiety. I've always thought I'd give birth in the hospital, there's no midwife centres near me and there's no way I'd have a home birth, all that cleaning lol
Oh and DH has made his intentions clear to only stay 'at the head end' lol but neither of us are bothered by hospitals, sorry!

AFM I'm also spending the day on the couch as I'm full of a bug and virgin are messing with my internet so Netflix keeps stopping at least the cat is making me smile- I wasn't paying attention to him so he's just climbed onto my bump and little lowe started squirming away, they're ganging up on me! Lol
Have the day booked off tomorrow so if I'm feeling better I'm guna get the paint for baby's room- DH hates painting but has promised me he'll do it next week when he's off so going to try to help as much as possible. It'll be hard not to tell him how to do it, I'm a bit of a control freak lol

TeamLowe

Oh my good God why do I let my husband have anything to do with our money? He's just got paid and told me he had £200 spare less than I was expecting so I had a hormonal cry about having to put off decorating when he suddenly realised we'd already paid the car loan so that accounted for the £200
He's good at earning it, terrible at budgeting/not spending it lol

Aw TL men are sent to test us I reckon.

You lot would all have giggled at me a minute ago. I realised yesterday that I only have 1 swimming costume I can take on this Spa weekend (can you even wear bikinis to a spa?) so did some online shopping yesterday. Out of 4 bikinis and 1 swimming costume only 1 bikini covered me up. The swimming costume made me look like a p9rn star it was that obscene. The other bikinis either covered hardly anything, or had unnecessary padding, or would have made my mother blush! So they all have to go back, hmph! Tried on my current cossie and it doesn't look obscene, do you think 1 bikini and 1 cossie will be ok? I don't plan on doing anything other than floating/splashing around, no actual exercise is going to be undertaken

Great to hear from you vic3 and I'm glad you're home with Thomas. Well done for who noticed he had tongue-tie and got it sorted. You really have to fight for it here or go private.

Sorry to hear you're panicking about the stay in hospital bigzippy The tour might actually be helpful so you have more of an idea what to expect. I keep telling myself that everything will be fine which works until I'm lying in bed trying to fall asleep!

Hi TL, my DH too is not great with our joint account. As he normally leaves it all to me whenever he takes a look he's horrified!

SmlSave

Yes you can wear a bikini to a spa kerri If you are having treatments then they are actually better for access. I only have a bikini too and its getting a bit thread bare am hoping to pick up a new one in the bravissimo jan sale.

Hope all the ill/in pain ladies feel better soon. I can't wait to get home and get wrapped up in my warm blanket on my comfy sofa! I'm so fed up of waddling about groaning because my back/bum/hip hurts now... still got so long left too, will be totally miserable by the time the baby's here!

LOL@ your Love Actually moment Jem!

Glad you and Thomas are doing well Vic.

Kerri- bikinis are fine in a spa so don't worry. Like SmlSave says, they're actually better if you're having a treatment so there'll be plenty of other people wearing them.
