Hello again everyone. I keep disappearing off Mumsnet, and it's not like I'm doing anything else interesting!
I'm 26 weeks now, and things are going well. Having some problems sleeping with bad hips/back, though I think that's as much our mattress as pregnancy. It used to make my back hurt before, but only if I was in bed too long (9hrs or more). It's a good and expensive mattress, with memory foam topping and springs and stuff - and not that old really, maybe 5 years?
Baby moves around lots, but I've noticed the movements have changed recently. I think his back is against my front, so most of his kicks are inwards and not really felt. I now just get lots of little movements, and not many kicks - except into my bladder/pelvis!
I've started worrying a bit about my lack of bond/excitement over the baby. I've bought one sleep suit so far, and that's it. My sister gave me all sorts of other stuff, including a pushchair and clothes.. it's all still just laying the in the spare room where she left it 3 weeks ago. I've not had the urge to go through it or play with it at all. I also don't talk to bump at all, which I wasn't worried about until something they said on The Midwives made me think everyone talks to their bump. Do they/you?
Enough about me!
Loopy I hope you managed your VBAC, or if not, that you're enjoying newborn snuggles after a quick and simple CS.
Fluff only a month to go, exciting. I'm sure you won't need the induction, so try not to worry about it. Also, you're totally within your rights to refuse a sweep before you're 40 weeks.
Far our hospital has a physio drop-in for pregnancy. Not sure how good the service would be if you needed more than just a bit of advice though. I hope the private session pays off.
Boo citrus was great for stopping me feeling sick. Fresh (or bottled) lemon and lime juice mixed with water was lovely, and all I drank for weeks. I was never actually sick though, so not sure if it'll help with that, but worth a try.
Whim I can't believe they dub Bob! Though, at least they have it there in some form, I'd have expected them to have completely different cartoons for some reason. I also suggest looking at Netflix if you have something you can stream it on. They've got all the original Thomas Tank Engine, Pingu and other classics.
Wow, it's home time! I'm 15 minutes late for leaving on time, and I was SO certain I'd leave promptly. Will catch up more at home.
