Aww well done on graduating to the big thread justme! Glad all is going well.

Mouse that's great news about your consultant appointment, you must feel so relieved.

Just back home now after the hospital - the ectropian is just cells on the cervix that flare up from time to time when hormones surge/intercourse etc - I put hubby on a sex ban last time this happened but they said even a big bowel movement can trigger it so not much I can do! If It happens again I'll have to go in again as well, just to make sure its not anything else.. good job I work and live near the hospital!

This is the biggest rollercoaster of my life but it will all be worth it when Baby Manc is here. Thanks for the support Xx

Congratulations on the scans ladies. Great to hear things are going well.

Mancmama it must be scary seeing blood but it's good yiu are being monitored and everything looks fine.

Justme i should probably be joining you on the next thread as im 24 weeks now. Maybe next week I'll see you there.

I got myself worried yesterday as I'd hadn't felt any movement at all. Typically as soon as I left a voice mail with the midwife I felt sone action, so I realised the midwife was gone for tge day and I left it. She rang this morning worried telling me I should have used tge 24 hour number but I told her it was fine as baby had been active. I just wasn't sure whether 24 weeks was too early to be monitoring for movements yet.

Kynthia I think you did the right thing, you know your body and baby best and it was definitely worth putting the call in.

Congrats on graduating the thread, wow its starting to fly a bit now! x

Kynthia you were right to contact them... but you will find baby has a pattern I'm almost 28 weeks and only now finding I can feel the movements a lot more.

Mine doesn't move much at all during the day but then around 5pm it becomes active and last night it was the most active it had been. When we went for our 4D scan, we couldn't wake it up to get it to move but the staff said that they sleep for up to 7 hours at a time and get themselves into comfy positions.

Thanks for thinking of me. I haven't been home long and the scan was at 9.30am! Our little girl is a still a little girl and a healthy one too so feeling very relieved. That's all I was bothered about.

Had a bit of a scare in the hospital, I went really dizzy and spaced out when I was laying down having the scan done. I tried to ignore it as I just wanted them to concentrate on checking baby out, but ended up getting wheeled through to the day unit - my blood pressure had dropped right down to 77/44, and apparently I should have been on the floor with such a low reading. I was monitored for a few hours and it eventually started to go up a bit. Not sure what's caused it, they think maybe too much pressure on my organs etc with laying on my back and that combined with the pressure on my tummy from the sonographer. I did get myself into a bit of a state before the scan too so that probably had an effect.

Oh Tinks how stressful!! I'm so glad all is ok though and make sure you get some rest now xx
