Welcome to our new home! :)

I have a midwife appointment tomorrow and hope to get my Whooping Cough vaccination done.

I feel huuuge at the moment and like I have an arse stuck up under my ribs. Not very comfortable!

I was more hoping it will know what to do tomorrow and which way is out!

It sounds like we will all be very babified tomorrow. Did you have a doula with your last birth Rollo? Hope you get the WC jab ok Dor. I was a bit coldy when I had mine and it did space me out for a couple of days so take good care of yourself.

Your response is perfectly understandable Blondie - it's all so exciting and overwhelming and scary.

Good luck with all the babyee appoints tomorrow - we had our 24 week today and all is good. Measuring bang-on for dates and apparently the reason I've been having upper rib pain on my right side is because young MasterPalmer is laying diagonally, head down, with his feet up in my rib cage!

Sorry to post and run, but I'm absolutely exhausted and must sleep!

Thanks LP, glad to hear things are progressing well, although hope Junior finds somewhere else to stick his feet!

In case I don't get to check in for a while, luff to all and thanks for the Esh-cellent support.

I didn't have a doula last time. I had a hospital who refused to accept my dates and considered me in premature labour when I was NOT. It meant that I got bossed about by midwives, and while the labour was pretty serene actually it was not the way I really wanted it.
As I only live 5 mins from the hospital I'm hoping to have this one at home, and it will be my last baby so I decided to have a doula and be strong about having the kind of birth I want.

blonde good luck for today
LP i was like that with DS, fully expect to end up the same this time round though DS was long when he was born (top centile) and I think that's why I was SO uncomfy. DH and I both short(er than avergae) and so hoping this baby isn't as leggy and therefore I will have more comfort.

Hope all baby appts go well today - wish I had one. Off to London for boring old work.

blondie and fee - good luck, will be thinking of you both!

I caved this morning and phoned the number on the results letter we received last week. The letter just said we're low risk for down's but didn't give a risk factor and it's been bothering me all weekend. My heart was in my mouth waiting for the midwife to dig out the paperwork but it was good news 1:4400. Which is a zillion times better than our previous result. So so so relieved (for now anyway).

Oh poo. TOM and I had a huge fight this morning. We're feeling stressed out about money as we're in the process of buying tickets to visit my family after the baybee arrives and they're really expensive (£2300, bloody hell,) To add to the stress mess I've been feeling particularly emotional over the past 2 days that I won't get to see a single family member during my pregnancy. And to top off all that, yesterday we had to deal with (yet another) a yucky situation with TinyTOM's cunt of a shit biomum which has been extremely depressing, especially for TOM. So basically everything exploded this morning as we were in the process of buying these tickets (online), culminating with me screaming 'Shut the fuck up' multiple times at the top of my lungs and him leaving the house.

Now I'm on a train to London for a long work day, feeling shitty and sad and like I just want to throw the proverbial towel in and pack off.

Not a fun moment to be in while 6mnths updiffed.

I'm so sad.

Good luck blonder, see you on the other side! :)

LP the stress must be massive. Have you contacted him to try to resolve things?

My scan was ok - Pickle's still being a monkey lying curled over upside down! But she got the measurement, now due 23rd April, 14+0 today. Nuchal was 1.6 so although we're waiting for the bloods I'm not worried :) more photos going on t'other place later!

LP then will it reassure you to know that i completely lost my temper with HOLB about something stupid at the weekend and told him to 'fuck off then'....and I stormed to the spare room and cried.
Stress affects us so muc more easily when the hormones are flowing.

Glad the scan went well faith

I've spent a lovely couple of hours with my doula . Though it got a little interesting when she asked what i'm planning to do with the placenta. I said I was going to bury it under a fruit tree in the garden. She has suggested that I eat it......but not in a fried live kind of way. She can make a tincture or capsules and if you take it postnatally it helps with milk production, and keeping PND at bay. As i'm prone to depression I'm going to look fully into this as something I may do.
I think my woo credentials just hit the roof...

fried liver

Super woo!

MSB was annoying me so much last Wednesday being impatient waiting for the doctor I was tempted to take my show off and throw it at his head I'm not normally a violent person!

Glad to see I'm not the only stressy, bitchy differ on the Fred!

Evening all.

I have to say I still think that eating your own placenta, whether it be fried or freeze-dried, is gross!

I had my 32 week ante-natal appointment with the midwife today. Everything is fine and my blood pressure is perfect - I think it has got better over the course of my pregnancy! I also had my whooping cough jab and now I feel like someone has punched me in the arm.

The midwife also told me why she thinks that I might not feel lots of movement, apparently my placenta is anterior position which means it lies like a cushion at the front of my belly. It makes sense to me as any movement I get is usually very low down in my pelvis or up under my ribs. I just wish someone had told me earlier as it might have stopped me panicking so much!

The other thing that happened at this appointment was that the midwife told me that she has organised for me to have a private room, presuming that I meet their criteria. This is mainly because I am a social worker with drug users and I have two clients due to deliver about the same time as me. I have been quite worried about having to be on the ward if they are there. So, now I can stop panicking!

Hello? Who are you all? Where is everyone I know? And I got bumped off the list at the beginning of the thread

So I had a little boy in September 2010 and I am accidentally up differs again

Hehe auto correct. Updiffed.

If you've been knitting recently then I recognise you from your recent announcement.

Welcome back!

Ummmm...just discovered you're not who I thought you were Bess - please ignore my cryptic message!

But welcome back anyhow. How far along do you think you are?

Hello bessie, nope no idea who you are either!

Hello Bessie! Did you have a hard fought win with DS only to get accidentally diffed with DC2 then? When are you due? We can update the list (sorry you got bumped!) with DS and expectant DC2.

I'm Faith. Started trying to win a baybee December 2009, 1 year fruitless TTC, 1 year of investigations - revealed reversible male factor problems. Started reversing December 2011. Told to lose weight for IVF July 2012. Got diffed August 2012 - Olympic baybee conception! Due 23/4/12 with a baybee that's already a rascal not getting in good positions for scannage! :)

I wonder how blonder is getting on? Push!

Hello and thanks for the welcome. I joined one of the first BESH threads in 2009 ttc dc2, which was a bit of a struggle. I had a little boy in September 2010 and have just got pregnant with dc3. It was a complete surprise and we are still in shock. But I have mc before so I'm not counting my chickens. Only just updiffed so due early July. Was told as a teenager would struggle to have children and would prob need ivf, 3 dc was not exactly expected

July due date? That sounds like ages away! So you're only a few weeks diffed? (I still think of myself as relatively newly updiffed!). Well here's hoping its a sticky bean :)

I am tired today but not as bad as yesterday so I have been doing a but round the house.

I woke up at about 5am crying because I was convinced something had happened to my lovely Mister Nothing had happened of course and he was right next to me but it was so real and vivid and it took me ages to calm down. I still feel tearful this morning.

bless you dor i know how unsettling that is. It'll be normal underlying anxiety processing through your brain though I suppose.

Hello all, hope you are doing well. Have been in hospital since 7am Tues attempting induction. Despite contractions since 3am Weds I've made v little cervical progress so unless things change overnight I will be having a CS tomorrow or Sat, depending on when they can fit me in. Am shattered sore and a bit disappointed but looking forward to seeing my baby when I can.

No 3G or Wifi in hospital but have popped escaped to my Mum's for a nice shower so I thought I'd update.
