Congrats Ashtray Heart!!


I too have been away, a week in Tenerife with the OH and kids, it was lovely but very hard to relax with 2 kids wanting to swim and play all day! Im just coming up to 32 weeks so it was the last chance for us to have a holiday as a family of four - just got to get all the unpacking and washing done now lol


We should have babys room finished next week and then I can get all the little clothes washed and put away :-)

Hope your scan goes ok Rebekah. I've had 2 growth scans now at 25 and 31 weeks & they've both been fine, & baby is head down I love seeing all their little measurements going up!

I'm not bothered about it in the slightest! the opposite in fact lol. It's not needed. They are only doing it because my last baby was a 5lber. but i'm a petite 5 fter and I have a womb defect whch means i'm more inclined to produce smaller babies. So its all pointless .But hubby siad its free scans innit lol. And a secret insight to check she is still head down rather than back to breech! The consultant even tape measured me at 24 weeks when she met me and oh suprise I measured bang on 24 ... so all pointless tbh!

Thanks everyone for the congratulations. We are finally home from hospital. Struggling with lack of sleep and sore breasts but we will settle in to some sort of routine eventually.

The lack of sleep for me was worse than the sore boobs. It is nothing short of pure hell on earth. That said the 2 combined is just horrific! I was sobbing so hard one day over being sooo tierd from 2 hours sleep that night and then my nipples ripping to shreds every time she latched with bloody everywhere. Not looking forward to all that again :-s

OH has put babygates up and I can't open them! Hoping its because baby is still on board and so they are doing their job at stopping baby passing through. Maybe once baby is born they will miraculously allow me to open them?!

Haha katy721 - reminds me of Joey in 'Friends' when Rachel baby proofs the apartment!

Had my 32 week appointment today. HB 125bpm which is the lowest it's come out at, but MW didn't seem at all bothered. Measuring 34cm now, which is great as it's the lowest ahead I've ever measured! I've gone from 5cm ahead, to 3 1/2 to 2 - so it's all evening out Baby is head down, but back to back and star-fishing! Explains why I get movement on both sides - limbs everywhere!

You're like me then Rebekah. I wasn't the slightest bit worried about my scan last week despite thinking baby was a bruiser (so opposite to you!), it's just nice to be able to see them again & see what they're up to. What's her estimated weight now? Mine was 3lb 10 last Friday so should be about 4lb now - no wonder my legs are feeling it more going up stairs!

RebekahR

Right - All good still following the 10th centile. Estimated at being 3lb 15oz at 32+2. A midwife?! did the scan but she rushed it and didn't even give us a look at her little face We are at similar weighs then. Again not that that means anything! They estimated J at 6.13 and she was 5.10 LOL.

Claire_A87

Yeah but I was on 50th centile and you're on 10th?! And my LO will only be estimated to be, what - 3/4oz heavier than yours at 32+2. I know growth charts are personalised but I'm beginning to think they're completely fabricated! I'm only 5"3 and petite myself so you wouldn't there would be that much difference.

My growth scan at 25+2 was like that - totally rushed & didn't explain anything. Last weeks was much better as the sonographer was in training so there was 2 of them. She was really taking her time & they were both lovely. The main thing is they're still following their own line & are happy & healthy in there

Congratulations to all those who've had their babas!

My little pink was born on the 22nd of April weighing 7lb 14oz. She's very cute, and very good so we're very happy all round

I know lol. I am 5ft 2 1/2 - I am petite and I weighed bang on 8stone pre-pregnancy. Last pregnancy little lady was born at 5.10lb so they are taking that into account aswell for her weight so I guess that's what most of it is on. When they measured me at 24 weeks I was bang on 24 on the tape but that put me at 90%?! on their centile chart for me - I was terrified I was going to give birth to a 9 1/2lber LOL. Not a chance in hell !!... Roll on to the growth scan at 28 weeks - 1 month later and I measure on the 10th according to that - That estimates me at 7 1/2lb which is normal range. Take away their 1lb they overestimated last time which would give me a 6 1/2lber which is about what I would expect. I've been eating tons more than last pregnancy so I will be shocked if I push out another 5lber!
