    Morning ladies!

    Mimi I HAVE been piggin out and I am the size of a house but I've avoided the scales completely so I haven't got a clue how much weight I've gained. I started out a size 10 and now I'm in size 16 maternity so I gues I've piled on a ton! Hey ho, I'll moan about the diet later on. I am 39 weeks now so whatever I do or don't do will make no difference now.

    JCR how are you today?

    I'm getting very bad period type pains and so far had 3 special number 2's this morn but I don't think it means anything for me because I've had no other signs whatsoever. I assume this is my most uncomfortable practice run so far.

    Claire - I haven't been hit with the nesting instinct yet either. I have written a list of chores for today if that counts. The way I'm feeling though it may end up staying a list with no ticks though!

    Welcome to all the latest recruits.

    When is a good time to start looking at applying for or at least form filling for child benefit?

    I hope you're all well x
  • Morning all,

    Off to the midwife this morning for 31 week appointment, poor woman is going to get moaned at for the whole time, I'm so miserable!! Not sure whether its just pain and late pregnancy tiredness or whether the old depression is creeping back in :( never thought I'd say this but I hope I'm just bloody knackered!

    Weight wise, I last weighed myself at 24 weeks and I'd put on 2 stones :eek: haven't dared the scales since. It does seem to be all bump though so hopefully won't need too much zumba to get my figure back. I feel incredibly heavy though, completely whale like. I'll post a bump pic when I get home if I'm feeling brave.

    I believe you get the child benefit form in the Bounty pack they give you at the hospital because you can't apply for it until you've registered the birth - HTH :)

    JCR - hope everything went ok at the hospital last night x

    Welcome to the big girls thread Blue Monkey!

    And I can't remember anything else so hugs all round and hope everyone is ok xx

    Welcome Blue Monkey! I'll add you to the EDD list in a minute. I daren't get on the scales either - I'm not that brave! Got my 28 week midwife appointment even though I'm 29 weeks tomorrow. Have to take the boys with me so that should be fun. They are only doing BP, heartbeat, urine etc as I had all my blood tests last week when I had the GTT. Turns out I'm still anaemic but I am not taking those iron tablets again - bleugh!!

    Hi all :D

    Kandboys if you're going to put Blue Monkey on the list, please can you tweak my EDD to 22nd Jan? My dates changed ever so slightly after my scan but haven't got round to changing it on here yet! Thanks :D

    Morning ladies. Omg last night was awful. I'm here almost in tears. Doc was amazing and day staff at hospital. But my blood pressure was too high. He said I had to stat in over night as it dangerous and likely I'd have section today . Freaked me out but ok. BP had to be taken every 2 hours if went up or 4 hours is same. And would take it from there inmorning but would give me something to help sleep so least I had a semi good night before section. Got moved into ownroom, hubby went home and packed. Night staff came in did blood pressure . Was even higher so I said oh does this mean 2 hours obs. She said no I'm sending u home. I said but the doc said 2 hour obs. She said well he was day doc and gone now so u can go.

    I'll post rest in a bit . I'm crying at mo .

    Jcr - that sounds awful. Perhaps you should go back via A and E, esp as Dr said it was dangerous? I could be wrong but didn't you say previously that your DH works there? Can he not speak to someone snr? I'm new to all this preg stuff but from what you're saying, you should be in there, not crying at home. Mega ((hugs)) x
  • Ok - im throwing a preggy hissy fit

    SOMEONE GET ON THE FLIPPING SCALES AND LET ME KNOW!!!! :o

    lol

    jcr16 - ring up your GP and see what they advise - try not to panic, you will set your BP even higher :( xx
  • Oh JCR hun you poor thing - huge hugs xxxx
