Yeah she gave me some ranitidine, fingers crossed the horrid reflux is no more!
knitta I think they may insist on a car seat, can you borrow one from a friend? Someone with a toddler may have one stored in the loft, I know I normally do!

knitta I don't know what the hospital's stance is but legally you don't need a car seat in a taxi. We have cars but on the odd occasion we have needed to take a taxi we have not needed to use a car seat.
I second asking someone to borrow one just in case but maybe ring the hospital first and see what their policy is. When I had DS they would never have known how we were getting home as DH went to get the car from the car park (with car seat inside) and I just met him at the front door carrying DS - noone came with me or anything but they were very busy at that time 
Just home from 3rd reflexology session - its so lovely I am going to miss it! I have booked in for next week but hopefully won't get that far!

Hello ledkr, hope delilah manages to gain weight soon, must be so stressful for you. We went to register Ben today so he's all official. Only took 15mins thank god as was worrying about being stuck there and needing to feed him (not too confident about feeding in public yet). Think he has his hearing test next week, keep forgetting when appointments are.
Going to try and rest this afternoon if I'm allowed as really haven'y done since he arrived.
good luck today angels, hope it all goes well x
Hope to see more baby news soon!

hubbard find it so typical NHS how they get you in hospital on bedrest and then decide to do building work - very restful 
Just back from scan/appointment and induction has been booked on my due date (21st feb) assuming nothing happens before then. Baby still measuring very big but not quite as off the scale as 2 weeks ago (only tummy circ that is huuuuggggggggeeeeeeee and off the scale now, everything else just averagely massive ). Estimated weight for today is now 9lb 3, which, is still very big, but not as big as I was worried it could be.
Keep trying to claw onto any positive of having an induction booked as it does make me a little twitchy/nervous after reading so many bad stories on mn (although know some of you have had good experiences).

angels, that's great news, 9lb 3oz is big but you are unlikely to end up on the news My mum was induced with me and my bro (admittedly this was 30 years ago) and said it was fine. Her and my dad often joke that I shot out and had to be caught by the dr. The hole labour was 2hrs start to finish. So it's not always bad!
Well, it has begun. One of my friends posted on my FB yesterday 'have you had the baby yet?' FFS, I'm not even due for another week. I also got a text from my SiL asking if we were going to have a third DC! Resisted the temptation to reply 'jeff off, you lunatic'. I think this is a sign it's time for me to go into hibernation, shut down my FB and turn off my phone- but I'll still be on MN of course

angels glad you're happy with how appt went and that you feel a little better about babys size. At least you have a bit of an idea about timescale now, as you know I had a really positive induction with dd2, but you may go yourself, don't worry.
needtosleep and ledkr I am now ordering you both to rest for at least the rest of the day and night .

tarlia and cheese very well done, looking forward to hearing your birth stories :)
I am still a bit overwhelmed at how fast Sabine arrived- if I hadn't been in the hospital already I don't think I'd have made it. She is a delight- sleeps all the time at the moment, feeds pretty well and have barely heard her cry. Last night she slept 12-7, and I REALLY needed that sleep. Just to make you all - I slept on my tummy.
Ooo meant to say- I had a MALE MIDWIFE!! Was a little 
to begin but he was excellent, and got me into labour where many others failed!
angels take heart from my induction/large baby story. Induction is FINE- at least you know when it'll happen, and if I can push out a 10.5 pounder with no damage at all then you can too.

Ledkr Am due next Wed 16th - have had tightenings, back pain, bit crampy every morning this week but it never comes to anything!! Am having a sweep on 14th - vv romantic . Not really stressing about it, was a week over with both dds so have sort of settled myself.

ledkr yes it was me with the grim DH- he has been great since S arrived, taking charge of DD and helping out with round the house stuff.
BTW have some 
we're allowed now!
The rest of you can have some 
!!!

Don't worry about newborns failing their hearing tests. Apparently most do. DD failed her first one and then passed the second. She has had more tests since (only because I'm partially deaf and it can be hereditary but mine isn't) and she is fine.

Hello everyone, I have been well out of the loop for most of the other thread but I was lurking away quite happily!
Have really enjoyed reading about all of the new arrivals, some beautiful baby names too. I am now officially 2 days over my due date (think I never updated my stats, oops) and am seeing the midwife tomo - americanexpat can I ask about your sweep?! Any detail would be appreciated! Did you have to ask for it or was it offered?
I will continue to lurk but will also make the effort to post more - I've not got an excuse not to now I'm just at home waiting for baby to put in an appearence!
Good luck everyone
