    So glad its Friday, past few nights have been awful sleepwise. Ordered our crib in the sale, so that should be here Tuesday, and made a list of everything that we still need. Told the OH he is in charge of picking a monitor, just told him not to go overboard, and that I would be happy with a bog standard one.

    Any sign Cats?

    Hope your taking it easy Clara now that your finished with work.

    Hope everyone else is keeping well :)

    With you all on the sleep thing, have give up trying at 4.30am as nowhere comfy and hips just too sore, only 15weeks to go :rotfl:
    Luckily it's not this bad every night.

    Cats sound promising hopefully from the midwife, fingers crossed for you.

    Hope everyone had a lovely weekend :)

    Hey ladies!

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

    Cats, hope baby is here soon, all sounding good!

    I've also been sleeping terrible the last couple of nights, it's like baby knows I'm on the wind down :rotfl:

    Tonic water is really good for leg cramps and has helped me in previous months.

    We had a lovely dinner out last night but started to get quite uncomfortable sitting at table after a couple of hours so was home to bed by 8.30pm!

    I'm now suffering from swollen and sore hands and legs/ankles are a bit the same. Been told to rest but I get really stiff if I sit too long! I can't win!!! Can't really complain, had a relatively easy pregnancy so far (husband would probably not agree with all the moaning I do! :rotfl:)

    Hey all still nothing here and spent all morning in hospital as baby was quiet after the sweep (and you have to be extra vigilant as it can distress them) so went in to be monitored. As I'd been in before, even though it was 9 weeks ago, protocol said I had to have a scan of the placenta and a big chat about induction and risk of waiting etc etc

    As I'm hoping for a very natural birth it was pretty rubbish to be honest. Medical protocol is I can just choose to be induced asap but I really really don't want that so there was just lots of scare mongering and after such a good appointment yesterday I feel so anxious which obviously isn't good to get labour going!!! All I can say is I'm glad me and OH knew our views as I think we could easily have been pressured otherwise.

    In happier news as baby isn't here I'm off to afternoon tea for a friends hen do so I'm hoping good company and yummy cake make me relax and get baby on her way....let's see!!
