Welcome to our new home! :)

DS has never done that at bedtime. He's had about 3 screaming ab-dab tantrums in his whole life.....he's a stubborn so and so might get that trait from me which is hard work but also quite entertaining I do think it's mostly parenting but sometimes you just have a child who is naturally disposed to behave a certain way.....I have a child who is physically active and makes noise all day long...

Those who have recently dropped... what were your signs of early labour?

As mine was a failed IOL I didn't really get any, I had a show and contractions from the procedures but nothing natural.

Are you having twinges Dor?!

....or are you just preparing dor? Is Winston readying himself?! :)

I don't know if I am having twinges or whether I have a tummy bug of some description.

I have had a horrid cold for a couple of days which has made me feel rank and then I woke up at 5.30am with the runs and stomach cramping.

I am assuming that it is just a bit of a bug but I am at that point of wondering whether it might be early labour!

Oh dor :( that sounds rubbish. Take it easy then, get the Mistrr running round after you!

It could either Dor, diarrhoea before labour is quite common. Otoh you may just have a tummy bug. Either way take it easy. Do you have a few things packed already just in case?

I am pretty sure it isn't early labour. The crampy type pains have been very high up and they have eased up now.

My sister has been feeling a bit poorly too.

I did phone the ward to talk to a midwife though. She seemed to think it sounded more gastric and they didn't want me to go in just in case it was D&V bug. She suggested that I saw a GP but I am buggered if I am paying out £130 to see someone at a weekend!

Of course, that would be annoying to have to pay - although if it gets worse then it might be worth it. Hope you start feeling better, I guess lots of water and brown toast for you.

It's not getting worse but a little better. A can of Diet Coke has helped!

There are a lot of bugs around at the moment. If it turned out to be pre labour I think you'd get reasonable warning. Just take care of yourself and obvs if you leak any fluid or ewcm put a pad in your knickers.

ps L is currently asleep on my breast with his arm slung across it. It is ridiculously cute.

dor do you think you could be a little dehyrdated as a result of the bug? I have noticed that my Braxton Hicks are much more painful, and I feel them completely differently if I am dehydrated. It could be a combination of gastric pain and BH feeling stronger/different. Glad you seem to be feeling a bit better though.
I felt so tired/headachey/ill this morning. Just really not right...but I've had an easy day and feel better this afternoon. I said to HOLB earlier that I feel like the energetic burst through the second tri is starting to fade now and I'm moving into the slowing down of the third tri.
I'll be 27 weeks on Monday. DS was born at 37+5 so I'm suddenly feeling so much closer to the end IYKWIM

I've tried to drink quite a bit of water so i don't think I am dehydrated. I am sure it is a bug and I am bone crushingly tired. I have barely moved off the sofa all day!

That's fair enough dor! You need to rest! Glad you're feeling a bit better, hope it continues with an upward trend :)

Hurray! I feel much better today! I slept loads on the sofa yesterday and all night in bed and I just feel better. It makes me realise just how unwell I was feeling yesterday!

pleased to hear it dor

I seem to be having night-time anxiety - bad dreams, waking up feeling unsettled.

Oh I had really bad dreams for a few weeks too. Think it was when all the hormones were maxing themselves out. They eased off after a week or two.

I feel really sick too again this morning, like MS has come back....can't decide if it's tiredness or return of the MS, but I have the awful taste back in my mouth and my appetite has dropped loads over the last few days. I felt like this all the way through with DS so I'm pleased this pregnancy has been much better, am hoping this is just tiredness...

Completely jealous of all of you who can sleep long enough to dream or nightmare! I am sooooooooo exhausted from lack of sleep.

Yesterday marked the first day of my 3rd Trimester and I'm worried about how tired I am. I was out walking around the shops and eating at Pizza Expressfor a few hours and I was absolutely shattered when I got home.

But at least the heartburn has settled a bit. I love Rantidine and Rennies!

Argh. strike out fail

Can't believe you are third trimester already LP! Time has flown by.

I am determined to sort out all the clothes that I have at my parents' house. I have systematically gone through my wardrobe every month or so and clearing out the stuff that doesn't fit and putting stuff in bags in the loft. I am horrified by just how many clothes I have. I don't need that many and we won't have that much storage space at the new house.

So, I have to be productive today! I meant to do it yesterday but the sofa and I had a passionate love affair instead.

I've been doing the same thing re. clothes, Dor! It feels good to box away the things that no longer fit, but it's shocking to see how many clothes I have once they're out of the drawers and closets. I'm also going to try to be very systematic about what I return to the drawers and closets after PlusOne is born and the babyee weight naturally melts off.

I finally bought a few more 'proper' pregnancy tops at Gap yesterday. Wearing maternity vests underneath my normal tops isn't really working anymore...too cold on my underbelly!

Hope everyone is feeling better today.

it would take me about 45 mins to sort through my clothes. I'm a nightmare because I am so fussy that I basically don't have any! I live in the same few favourites.....my ideal wardrobe is the one I had between the ages of 18 and 25, all vintage stuff. I outgrew it when I hit 25 and my hips spread (at last).

I'm feeling much better after a lazy morning and naughty lunch of dippy egg and soldiers. Going to pop out for a bit and do some shopping, then home to cook a roast dinner and sit in front of a coal fire with my sewing.

I sort through my clothes every 6 months. I'm pretty ruthless! I try to do shop less, wear more but I struggle! I lent my sister all my clothes I won't fit in for a while and she lent me all her maternity stuff :)

dor I'm glad you're feeling better!

queen that sounds like a luffly morning!

Think of me, I've been at work all day and my legs are all swollen!

Oh poor your legs Faif!

Although in some ways I kind of miss being pg, I have tried to take the odd moment to appreciate the return of my ankles and not needing to wee all the bloody time!
