4 weeks to go for me too (at work). Got piles of books I want to read (or more likely snooze with in the garden) when I finish. One of my girlfriends is organising a baby shower for me next weekend, which I'm quite looking forward to, and my mum will be coming. She just phoned me to check whether I was ok, bless. Just shows that they don't stop worrying about you however big you get :)

Oh and on the BB front, I have been studiously ignoring as every year I get sucked in and I really don't want to have valuable hours of my life taken away by horrible shouty people.

[IamBlossom]

Right BB is banned then, don't want to subject non-viewers to it.

Algach go ahead and start new thread by all means, I can't as I started last one.

Whoever invented Double Deckers deserves a medal. Just my thought for the day. I might decide that is my new pregnancy induced "craving".....

Evening girls!

I have been seriously nesting today. Spent the whole day clearing a rather large and very crammed cupboard. Am absolutly shattered now.

HC- July 2003, where was I? Oh yeah dd2 was born august that year. So I was suffering too. It is nice to have the sun but v.hot and tired.

KZ-glad you got your "builders bum" sorted out! Had to have a little chuckle at that, coz am always trying to pull my trousers up at the back whilst keeping them low at the front. It's nigh on impossible.

Opened the door to a girl I know but havent seen in a while. To be confronte with "God your huge!" Thank you very much. She is only 18 and quite nice so I might let her off that remark.

Time seems to be slowing down now, I still have 7 weeks to go and am getting fed up of feeling so huge and tired. And getting stuck if I sit down in one position for too long.

Agalch- How do you cope looking after other people's kids as well as your own! I couldnt do it. Just keeping my 2 girls entertained is knackering enough for me at the moment. I usually have to go to bed when they go. Am such a light weight these days.

Hope everyone else is ok. Sorry if I missed anyone.

[MummyToToby]

beginning to wish i hadn't found out it was a boy! people keep scaring me with stories of people they know who ended up with the oposite. do they really need to do that!! annoyed cos i thought i might possibly be in the start of labour earlier - had crampy feelings. then came a big bout of the runs (ewwwwwww) so guess that was what the stomach ache was all about. typical!

[maewest]

MumtoToby - I think when they tell you its a boy they are pretty sure. This is because the 'tackle' is bloody obvious in most cases, whereas with girls they are looking for the absence of something which means they can sometimes get it wrong (e.g. willy tucked between the legs and not spotted on scan ). Oh, and like everything related to pregnancy and birth, there's always someone lining up to tell horror stories!

Evening ladies

Took DD to the Drs and waited 45 mins to be seen. it isn't measles thank goodness but didn't see how it could be as she has had the MMR jab. She has got a fever though and the Dr doesn't know why so the he said can she do a wee sample and proceeded to give me a tiny sample jar so I just looked at him and asked if he had anything she could wee in first. He disappeared and came back with a plastic drinking cup?????????? Then a nurse appeared and found a potty but would she wee? No. Managed to get her to do one tonight so will take it in tomorrow to be tested. Bless her, she said 'mummy I'm a big girl and you said I can't use the potty anymore, I have to use the toilet'. I had to use bribery.

OK no more BB talk-my lips are zipped up.

Night all

Hi Girls

Quick question, is anyone else monitoring their wieght? I have been exactly the same weight for a month now, although I'm still getting bigger. I have started to panic that baby isn't growing!! People also keep saying that I don't look like I'm due in july although the midwife was happy with my bump size last time she measured me. (fundal(sp?) height 29cm at 30 weeks)

I'm "craving" lots of donuts, marshmallows and gingerbread so its not like I am being super healthy....

should I call my midwife? DH keeps telling me to call her if I'm worried but I think he just wants to shut me up.

entrophy - i think you should definately call your m/w if it will reassure you, don't fret at home thats one of the things they're there for .... i'm sure everything is fine, I seem to go weeks without any weight gain and then go up in one jump
agalch - the only reason i may not be able to have home birth is because of the building works (everything else is fine) ..... have you considered acupuncture to turn the baby suppose to have a high success rate
night all xx
