Great news, ceej!

I've said 'predicted to be a girl' as the sonographer was only able to say that she was pretty sure at the 20-week scan (and then only by apparent absence of boy bits, rather than confirmed view of girl bits, iyswim). At the 33 week scan everything was too tightly folded up to get a good enough view!

Interesting to hear about the gentle birth method - I must look this up. Would be nice if it was just wheat that needed limiting. Free reign on ice cream and cheese, then!

Ladies - I've seen some of you posting on Greengoose's thread and I just wanted to come over here and give you all a bit of a hug because I know it's hard to read news like hers when you are so expectant and feel so vulnerable. I think it's great that you can offer her support, I'm sure it's come with quite a few tears. I hope I'm not speaking out of turn to make the suggestion but why not add Merryn to your stats?

bemybebe · 08/05/2012 18:43

small Blush sorry for not posting, not often do i have something clever to add! Wink but tbh, despite the popular belief (and my dh's conviction) i am not great with social media... but i lurk a lot more than i post
ceej i was trying to work out what viva was, still cannot but congratulations that it went well! Grin
gwennie do try ranithidine if you are suffering, because it does work. my hb is set off by plain water if I do not take it!

DairyNips · 08/05/2012 18:48

That's a lovely idea Norhern, I shall add her once asap Smile

DairyNips · 08/05/2012 18:48

Don't know where 'once' came fromHmm

bemybebe · 08/05/2012 18:58

dn
nl suggested adding a line "and remembering Merryn, daughter of Greengoose" to the stats and greengoose can amend it as and if she wants to.

what a lovely thought ladies xx Sad

McKayz · 08/05/2012 19:11

Northern that is a lovely idea to add Merryn.

My bump has been rock hard all day today. Don't remember anything like this with the boys. So not sure if it's normal or not.

Anyway, 36 week appt went well, and they have suggested induction at 41 weeks if nothing happens before then, so should have baby in my arms or be in labour 5 weeks from now! Still a girl, but I never can fully trust scans!

Thinking of you Greengoose and McK thanks for the link.

You all have been busy on the thread today! Congrats Ceej what a weight off your mind - I hate a Viva,would much rather do written exams any day...

Nice news about the app Kveta

We had such a lovely day - DH had a day off as he worked over the weekend and it was a nursery day,so took DS to nursery and we both slept all morning... then went out for lunch together (sometimes it is really good to spend time with just DH,as we have no family here,this hardly ever happens)

Warlin what a lovely surprise gift!

CathFin · 09/05/2012 06:47

Its my birthday! Wonder if cake for breakfast is allowable in the circumstances!

I'm not doing anything exciting today but on Friday I'm going for a spa day with my best friend and staying overnight WITH NO CHILDREN. A first for me. Can't quite explain how delightful that prospect is!

Have a happy Wednesday everybody!

ffnorm · 09/05/2012 07:04

Happy Birthday,Cathfin Thanks hope you have a great day (of course you can have cake for breakfast!!! Grin) oooh,very Envy about a spa day.

What happened with Surf's admission with fluid loss/discharge??? (Did I miss a post?)

Going into work today for a meeting,they are having a "goodbye/enjoy mat leave" lunch for me and another colleague who is resigning

Smallwonder · 09/05/2012 08:40

happy birthday Cathfin -- hope you've had your cake and eaten it :o spa and child free time is bliss, u enjoy every minute!
ffnorm enjoy lunch -- have a great time! Is good to hear tht. And DH had some couple time, it's so important I feel.
I don't remember news from surf... Hope she posts later (unless I too missed it)

Off to mw in an hour, DH working from home today and is typically bucketing outdoors!

Smallwonder · 09/05/2012 08:42

Sorry ffnorm, that should've read 'good to hear u and DH had some couple time'
iPad typing is really bad!

McKayz · 09/05/2012 09:19

Happy Birthday CathFin Thanks

Kveta · 09/05/2012 09:24

happy birthday CathFin! cake is most definitely allowable, if not actually prescribed!

SpecialJK · 09/05/2012 09:49

hi cathfin happy birthday! Thanks

So, spent 4 hours in ante-natal ward yesterday after building really sharp pains to the left of my belly button. At some points the skin was so tender it was extremely painful even to touch it, I was getting very sharp pains when I bent over in the same spot, and could barely bend over to go to the loo. LO is great, bumbling away in there. Seems it's my fibroids degenerating they think, or at least not being very happy, LO is back to back and probably kicking it too (fibroid is anterior). Really good to hear it's not affecting the baby, and probably won't, but the pain may go away completely, I may get twinges, it might go to a crescendo if the fibroid dies off, they don't know. In any case, now I know what it is, I'm not stressing about it.

Now I just need to get on my hands and knees and turn this baby.
