Ooh, shiny new thread.

I just got back from my midwife appt and there was a woman in labour in the waiting room - drama! She said she'd been having contractions for 24 hours and was sent home from hospital.

In other news my one is making its way down. She said it's not fully engaged but his head is in my pelvis. Hence the twinges I've been having in the past few days. No actual numbers given though.

Also got booked in for a flu jab and she said not to worry about whooping cough if I've already been vaccinated for it at school.

Checking in, thanks for new thread MrsH

Off to find something nice to eat in the house.

[Wickedgirl]

Ooh, I just got in on the last post!

[Wickedgirl]

Sorry jelly

[Pinkforboys]

Ooh wicked you live up to your name!

I also filled my basket with sinful goodies, but to be fair I'm entertaining some mad aussie friends for 'tea' this pm and my plans to bake were scuppered by a trip to the bank for the PTA and two trips to the local cafes

smitten I guess the WC jab renewal depends on which end of the age spectrum you're in. It's so long since I had that jab at school that i needed a top up. Coincidentally there was an advert advising the jab on the radio when i was in the local health shop this morning, there's definitely an outbreak of WC at the mo.

How does everyone feel about the flu jab? I've had a text from GP asking if i want it but not sure if worthwhile...

ps I'm supposed to be working!!! Shd change my MNname to 'PrincessOfProcrastination'

Wishing umlauf, GT and Jelly positive labour vibes and hope your app goes well pseudo.

Not happy about people pushing in front of me in the queue tho!
SC 39+5

checking in xx

[cazboldy]

hope all is ok pseudo

Just back from mw. All good. She looked at all the stuff they wrote down yesterday at the hosp, and commented that I have LOST 4 kg this pg

Can't see how, but she weighed me and I definitely have!!

didn't seem too bothered though.

Baby moved much lower down - was 3/5 eng, but moves around a lot. Didn't make me an appt for 2 wks time as she said it will be here by then

I reckon it's the curse, and I will go overdue now!

[PseudoBadger]

Well the consultant reviewed my notes (I didn't see her) and is happy with the growth even though it's tailed off slightly (sonographer thought could be due to steroids and labetalol).
The sonographer wrote 'query small vsd' and said she couldn't see the heart/all areas clearly. Therefore I have a fetal ECG at GOSH tomorrow at 1pm where hopefully I'll be told it's all a big overreaction.....

[JellyCurls]

Checking in, thought there were 1000 posts on a thread so was chuffed when I got to 1001, hey go at least its finished. Wonder if Jellybaby will appear before this thread runs out???

[PseudoBadger]

Estimated weight is 7lbs 1 at 37+5. DS was 7lb 5 born at 38 weeks so weight sounds about right.

[Umlauf]

Checking in! 12 hours now and still nothing!

Can someone update me with the name changes? Cuille and another lady??

Hope GT and Pseudo are doing Okay xxx

[whistlingdixie]

Pseudo fx for your appt tomorrow - hope they're just being overly cautious!!!

Has anyone (FB grp?) heard how Umlauf, GT are doing?

Jelly how are things progressing?

Think my head cold has now gone to my chest, q lots of coughing ... I'm off to find some comfort food - for some reason I can't stop thinking about blueberry muffins!!

[Umlauf]

and jelly!

[Smitten1981]

Pink- I was told to definitely have the flu jab as the midwife said she had two women last year who had flu while pregnant and it made them very I'll and they both ended up in intensive care. So it's better to have it just in case.

[PseudoBadger]

Thanks! Oops it's not an ECG (electrocardiogram) it's an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram)....

[ImpOfDarkness]

Yes this is the new cuille and HotSoupDumpling is now Mnippy (or something along those lines!)

[MrsO27]

Sympathies to others with the cold and other ailments. I'm not usually a wimp when I have the cold but with all other aches and pains and not being able to take anything other than paracetomal, I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself and would really like to eat 4 blueberry muffins . I would also hate to go into labour at the moment. Urgh. Zero energy. Wouldn't be good. Anyway, and to you all.

pseudo I think if I refuse the ECV it would be an automatic CS, but I must admit it does worry me a little. It has a fairly low success rate from what I've read and it can cause distress to the baby as well as things like detachment of the placenta. I will speak to the OB though as I'm aware I'm getting loads of my info from the Internet, which I shouldn't really trust. Have felt a few big movements this week so maybe it's turned on it's own. Here's hoping. Will soon find out!

[PseudoBadger]

Good luck I hope it's turned for you MrsO - I think I would decline an ECV for those reasons.

[Flyer747]

Hope baby has turned MrsO neither option ecv or cs are ideal I guess.

Umlauf sideways up those hospital stairs

Just received car insurance renewal £1100 and that's with 10 years ncd...couldn't have come at a better time, I love shelling out for cars

[cherrycherry41]

Just checking in and letting you all know-

THIS IS THE THREAD I'LL BE ADDING A BABY TO!!

(CS monday, will try to post OWT )

[tuckingfits]

Bloody hell flyer - what do you drive?! A Maclaren?? Always shop around,I always get a much better deal than the original renewal comes in at.

Thanks for the new thread. I hope this is the one that I will have a new baby on,but no signs really so far.

[BowlFullofJelly]

Checking in - I am changing my status to still f*#king cooking, as losing patience!

[Shirehobbit]

I am most definitely finding these last two days hard...26 hours to go.

I had a letter about the Flu jab, inviting me to take it up on the 19th October [hmmm]. I called the surgery to explain why that would be no use to me, and they said they weren't getting any vaccines in until that date. I let them know that I wasn't exactly impressed, at 38 weeks (nearly) when it takes two weeks to pass on immunity too, that if they thought I needed it, then I should have it soon as. They called me back and asked me to call again tomorrow, as they may have an emergency delivery come in....

So, what's going on...
Hope you're ok, Umlauf and Caz and Pseudo and everyone else. I can't remember who said they had a cold, but I am on the edge of one and just hoping it beggars off before the weekend. However, I suspect as soon as I stop work, it'll take hold.

Is it home time, yet?
