Welcome to our new home! Right, time to get that baybee out lazy!

dor you are totally allowed to be a proud parent. I agree that fb is the way in which family keep up with the little ones progress etc. the only reason I joined fb was to see my friends kids growing up as I live far away. I haven't put scan pics up as I have some friends still ttc etc and its hard to get the shock of yet another baby out of your minds without prior warning but I will put pictures up from time to time when we get there!

jeff how many weeks are you? I had these from about 13 weeks, especially when I was active. Relatively high up (top of bump). Is it easier when you rest? I get that it's utterly terrifying and you should be checked out but it may well just be ligament stretching type things. Every twinge is scary when you're early days Er and late it seems

dor it's a tricky one. I think you said your peace piece?! eloquently on the BESH thread earlier. Thing is, you are a Mum and bloody proud to be one. Also, you're on mat leave and most of your life does revolve around your baybee at the moment (and so it should!). I think it's always clear how grateful you are for your blessings (especially your Mother's day one yesterday). I guess it's kind of an impossible situation - as bugs says, she likes being your friend on FB and your posts are amusing (they make me :)) sometimes it makes her losses all the harder. But equally you're entitled to put photos and statuses about your son. No idea what the answer is.....sorry.

Ok - mememe....I'm so frigging tired. My legs and feet are enormous. Good job my work shoes are big. I can barely get my trainers on. Work was mentally busy and I was in a really heavy bay (lots of confused patients). BH have been very painful at times along with the electric shock to the cervix type symptom. Off to see my MW in the morning. Will ask her advice.

Oh faith not long now though!
I ditched work early today...been feeling woozy so went to get checked out. Had to sit down during class and tell the kids to shut up and leave me the fuck alone be patient and I'll get to you. Honestly thirty of the wee souls all demanding onetoone...

I only have 9 patients but one would not sit still, bless him! Yes only have 9 shifts left anyway....

Are you drinking plenty? I found I got woozy if I didn't drink enough because of low blood pressure.

I think i'm drinking enough but an going to make a conscious effort to up fluids! Bloody insomnia has kicked in though

Do you have a maternity pillow blue? That's really helped me.

Back from the midwife for my 34 week appointment. Generally good news - measuring at 33cm, good heart beat. No glucose or protein in my wee today. Potentially crap news - I mentioned that bump is wonky with a big lump by my belly button. I thought it was arse, she said it might be head and Pickle might be breach! MSB has been dispatched to buy a gym ball and she will review in a fortnight. If the lump hasn't moved she will organise a scan....

Can you turn them then?
Will need to try a pillow I think!

Sitting upright with the pelvis slightly forward can encourage them down. I still think it might be its arse that its clearly inherited from me!

Do investigate, I couldn't believe the difference blue.

jeff how's things? Did you speak to the MW/GP?

I will...was so stressed at work todayI felt weak and sick. Have decided a few days off might be good for me as per doc recommendation. The problem with teachers is we're so used to dragging ourselves in regardless add there's a tremendous sense of guilt, especially this near the exams, but i'm tired of people saying I look crap etc. i've got to remember there's someone else to consider now.
Jeff hope your feeling better today!

Yes, spoke to MW this morning two was lovely & reassuring. She said lots of stuff goes on between 10-12 weeks & unless I'm doubled over in pain or bleeding then to try not to worry. Phew.

Dor it's a fine line like I said in The Palais yesterday but you made your point about FB being a different forum.

Blue sorry you are feeling shitty. A couple of days off sounds like a good idea.

Oh I'm glad you're reassured jeff :) so ruddy scary being diffed, innit? I started to worry about Pickle this morning not being wriggly en

Definitely w

Argh! ....being wriggly enough but now my belly is bouncing up and down!

Definitely wise... To take some time off Blue. Sometimes being diffed is a bit overwhelming on the body and when you're in a job that's flat out if you can't take it easier at work, it's best to have time off. I'm really glad I had that time off a couple of weeks ago.

I'm officially 34 weeks today! :)

Oh Jeff that's good! The midwife I spoke to a few Weeks ago put my mind at rest as I was getting electric shocks up the fanjo...its a stretching etc she said!

My dad said I was bring silly letting work stress me and that if better watch I didn't get my card marked for being off when I want sick....then I started crying down the phone and he changed his tune quick smart! He's such an old fashioned man sometimes.now he's saying I should stay off! !

'Pregnancy-related sickness' is treated differently anyway. Rest up and see how you go.

Spoke to Mr df who is working away and he agrees and says I need a rest so i'm writing tomorrow off. So tired i'm dozing off on the couch. Night!

Hope everyone's feeling good this morning and tums and niggles have settled.

Glad to hear the MW was reassuring Jeff!

I've got the protruding little head by the bellybutton too faith - her bum's been in the air for weeks and weeks (and legs positioned for kicks under the ribs!) so I'm sure that's the head - MW says that's cephalic so I thought it may be a good thing if it stays that way. Got a birthing ball so have been sitting on that when at the computer (working from home affords me that leeway) so hoping that helps - apparently scrubbing the floor in the weeks leading up to D-Day will help with positioning (not sure if this is a ruse though ).

Feet and ankles have swollen up to hippo proportions - so weird to see, little balloons! Anyone got joint pain in their fingers? Is that fluid retention squeezing the nerves or something? It's pretty uncomfortable. Have MW appt. on Friday (not that she's super helpful - I keep telling GB that 'Mumsnet is my MW') - will run it past her anyway.

FTW my feet and ankles have swollen massively in the last couple of weeks. About 5 weeks ago I realised I couldn't wear my boots any more. Now even my trainers are tight! I'm just glad my work shoes are roomy. Today my hands feel tight and swollen but they are very dry. Mw has advised me to look out for signs of preeclampsia. I have a BP monitor at home and am checking most days!

MSB forgot to get the ball for me yesterday . Today I'm on 8-4 so I'll pop and get one on the way home. I am stood up 7.5 hours/day 5 days/week though so would think that encourages head down?! Ah well, if Pickle is breach, she's breach. MSB said last night he'd prefer me to have a c-section so everything remains ok down there. Never mind that its major surgery!

blue I hope you've got your feet up. I'm glad Mr df was supportive.

Don't know how you do it faith! I'd be in tears constantly at this point having to stand for so long. Sending you a big hug.

I feel the same way about delivery - whichever way suits the wee one is fine really, all have pros and cons.

I do it because I have to! Someone at work said the other day I couldn't do this job pregnant it's my job! I have no other! I have a chair and sit whenever I can. If I really struggle I'll just say I need to sit down. I'm better now I'm on short shifts. today I have an office day which is nice but a bit odd really! Brain hurting more than body!

Ironically had been worried about Pickle's movements so of course now this baybee is kicking/punching like a good in! :) woke me in the night too!

Aww! That's kids for you, eh? Prompting masses of luff and irritation simultaneously!

I wonder when they'll start running out of room and slow up with the wiggles. Must be just a few more weeks now.

Definitely get less squirming and more kicks now.

Been laying about doing nothing much...brilliantly relaxing and actually forgotten about the stress at work. Shame it'll be waiting for me tomorrow or whenever

I'm now bouncing on my gym ball. Pickle seems to like it! :) actually it's quite comfy. Bouncy bouncy!

blue I'm glad you've chilled. Don't rush back if you're not ready!
