Christmas and the New Year will bring with them a flurry of sneeze births and we Brook No Argument! (part 14)

Thought I would treat us un a festive thread

Well said bartlet! Don't you be beating yourself up about this boo - there is NO blame!

smegs I have done a lot of research on the science of growth scans due to my own experience and the truth is they are notoriously inaccurate. DS was entirely average sized according to measurements at his 20 week scan and my bump always measured fine so noone had any idea he would be big. In fact at my 40 week appt the midwife estimated Id have a 7.5lb baby! I really felt that I would have a big baby tho - I was fairly convinced that my bump was all baby iyswim. From what I've read the most reliable estimates from growth scans come when there are 3 scans done over a 2 month period (usually 28,32,36 weeks) This should demonstrate a trend. However I do remember watching a tv program on big babies where one of the consultants said trying to accurately estimate a baby's weight was about as easy as guessing how much an adult male weighed in the room next door after only being given his trouser size!!

little Im hoping that you just deliver the baby and that your pelvis doesn't explode!! Reflexology sounds lovely - can they encourage labour at all?

Meant to say I saw my useless midwife this morning. First stretch and sweep booked for at home on Mon, she won't be doing it though and couldn't give me a time for roughly when the midwife would come - just anytime between 9 and 5 She suggested I get someone else to do the school runs so I didn't miss the midwife! Fortunately DH is off on Mon so he can do it but that's not the point! Lets hope it works!

Boo we all feel for you. You sound v healthy indeed. And remember you will get your beautiful brooking baby at the end of all this.

Brooking for a triple sneeze soon. No crumbling pelvises allowed.

Whims my mum bangs on about pram in garden. I remind her that we have a lot of foxes here. My babies don't settle during the day without a sling in the early weeks. Must be my fault, but I don't know how else to function as crying down is not an option when they are so little. Any tips?

First smiles from Astrid here. She is so so scrumptious. Sadly DP now away so won't witness. DS v sad this morning.

Aww thanks ladies, I do keep remniding myself this will all turn out good in the end, you are all lovely

Bartlet brooking you have a good night tonight and babybart shows up soon for you.

Lovely snuggles overnight from DS (who didn't want DH to cuddle but only me), but no baby snuggles, I'm afraid! I'm now getting nervous that they won't have space for my induction tomorrow because I just want to get on with it and all the evenings of contractions are tiring me out.

sparkle, get well soon! I think early finish and an early bed sounds like a good idea.

I read the first line of your post and got all excited then Bartlet but you meant the we already know about of course. Brooking for you that you have not got much longest wait.

Sparks I agree with the good Dr!! Early night for you!

Happy valentines everyone

Hee, hee! I know! I was a bit naughty!

what no babies! come on
so I had my scan I'm 9wks today. all looks good and my area of bleed had gone! I was actually a bit excited for the scan after all my nervous the couple of days before. I can arrange to book in with the mw now.
hope u feel better soon sparks

Congrats Trick. That's wonderful news. What's your EDD?

Bartlett hope you haven't got long to go. These babies do like to keep us on tentahooks don't they? Cuddles sound lovely, per and post DC3's arrival.

Puncture here. The day DP went away. Typical. But Astrid only woke once for a feed last night and DS obeyed the groclock and emerged after 7am so almost human. Tho he had massive tantrum last night, poor lad. Missing daddy.

Who got flowers and choc? All of you I hope.

Aaahh chooo!!
