Pol - so sorry you're going through such a stressful time with your DH. I totally understand about wanting to own at least part of a house as opposed to renting. I hope you can get things sorted out and I think it's worth saying to your DH that you don't need the added stress of rows at this stage in your pg. The last thing you need is high bp on top of everything.
Petrified - I think the mw visits vary from person to person. If you are deemed a low risk pg then as far as I know you see the mw every 2 weeks up to 38 weeks then weekly after that. My GP's have an antinatal clinic every Wednesday which you can go to and I've been in there recently even though I wasn't supposed to see anyone until the next week but I was worried about swellings etc. It may be worth asking at your GP's to see if they have a similar clinic where you can go and ask all the questions you have. Otherwise, contact your antinatal clinic at the hospital you're going to have LO in and see if they can see you or speak to you.
Bella - glad you're ok!
1B1B - I'm getting totally frustrated with waiting and I haven't had any signs of labour yet so I can imagine how frustrated you are! Hope things get moving again for you soon.
I don't get to Ikea very often but totally enjoyed trekking round the other day. I just wish they'd put some windows in my local one! It's all artificial lighting and feels like you're walking round a rabbit warren! I was quite proud that I only spent £1.25 on a toy tidy too!
As for LO, I have noticed a definite change in the way it's lying. Before, I could feel lumps in the sides of my tummy but now it seems to be lying in a straight line down the middle and quite high up near my ribs. It's weird because it feels like the sides of my tummy have deflated! I'm hoping that it's a sign that things are about to move as the head is now engaged
