I wouldn't mind a FB group, i do check both regularly - so we can always copy and paste to double post if all else fails?

I sleep on my left but wake up on my right or my back, usually with numb hands/feet or bad hips and restless legs. Can't win really. And that's with a pillow in the middle of the night.

Also don't mind FB group, would be easier for me to check on the move as the mn site on my phone is a bit crap the last couple of weeks. no idea why!

As for DTD, we've done it about 3 times in 6 months, so some of you are doubling us! I don't have the drive, just too tired. Sometimes I wonder how I managed to pregnant the amount of sex drive I have had for the last year! DH was not impressed, but we really enjoy it when we do ;)

Hedge trimming I just don't care anymore. Not that I did beforehand much though either! I bother with my legs & pits more now as Im swimming more often with other ladies, but sod the rest!

I find I can only sleep on my sides (left or right). but then thats almost always been the case so meh.

Talking to bump, I mostly throw remarks about DH to it, or talk to the bump about the dog. I am contemplating reading a book to it, but not sure what yet. And I sing to it a lot in the car - loud music and a howling parent certainly get a good kick! DH felt baby kick properly for the first time a few days ago. Was surprised about level of movement and shocked when I told him he can only feel half of it and it wasn't even moving that much at the time, compared to most mornings ;) Thinking about it, baby hasn't moved much today, and I haven't drunk much. Time to rectify this....

Spend the whole day training up one of my replacement. I'm so good we're getting so busy & behind that I'm getting not one, but two replacements! Bad news, we have to move offices to accommodate this :/

SassehMonsta · 18/08/2014 18:28

Oh yes, also my consultant letter had all the wrong dates on. I got a copy of the letter sent to my Dr from my consultant, and it said I was 14 weeks at the appointment (I was 19 weeks?!) and that they wanted to see me again at 18 and 28 weeks. So I'm going to my appointment tomorrow afternoon (and taking my dad incase theres a scan, hes quite excited!) and they are expecting me to be 18 weeks (will be 23+3)... Called reception this morning who said she'd ask and let me know if I didn't need to come in. Shes not called back at all, so still going tomorrow and seeing what happens!
Someone told me this may be a growth scan, but no idea. Hope so, rather than just chatting boring things and measuring my belly!

DillieDoily · 18/08/2014 18:49

Thanks for the reassurance- glad it's not just me sleeping every way but on my left side!

A FB group would be good for me too- easier to check etc

littlepickly · 18/08/2014 19:15

I would be up for an FB group as agree it's easier to check.

I mostly sleep on my sides but have to swap in the night as get uncomfy, sometimes I wake up on my back but I don't think it matters massively.

Just worked out I have 25 shifts left at work - hooray! Smile

Peaceloveandbiscuits · 18/08/2014 19:35

Aw man, do please consider C+Ping from a FB group back onto here, I don't want to lose you all!

PourquoiTuGachesTaVie · 18/08/2014 19:45

I'm not keen a fb group as I wouldn't want to out myself tbh.

CatFaceCrayola · 18/08/2014 19:56

FB group would be great for me (sorry Peace)

Went to antenatal yoga. The instructor said I had a very "bendy" back which could explain my aches and pains. She advised really concentrating on my posture

CatFaceCrayola · 18/08/2014 19:56

Out yourself?

PourquoiTuGachesTaVie · 18/08/2014 20:05

You know... like Clark Kent and Superman. My mn name is my secret identity Grin.

Peaceloveandbiscuits · 18/08/2014 20:17

Pourquoi we'll just amuse ourselves

BigHairyLeggedSpider · 18/08/2014 20:29

Facebook - it would have to be really private, as I can say things on here that I can't say on facebook due to work people being on there and I wouldn't want to be outed. If it was a secret invite only group I might consider it. Peace - definately copying and pasting would happen, or we could do what I did for something else and set yourself up a profile only to use there. For example -set it up as PEACEMN, and just use it for that one group, dont add any RL friends etc and you'll be secure with your privacy protected. I do like it here though. FB would be useful if we had anything to swap etc.

BigHairyLeggedSpider · 18/08/2014 20:30

That was confusing sorry. I'd rather not have a FB group, but if we do have to have one I'll join but probably not as my real name, just my BigHairy name.

Ladylel · 18/08/2014 20:41

I'm just taking it upon myself to create this Facebook group- only as a test page altho once it's set up I can't delete it but I can make other admins. Anyways unless we're all buddies I can't make a secret group i can make it a closed group where you can search it and request to join and then me (as admin) can approve it. It just means as a closed group anyone can search it and add themselves but you'll need to be approved, you'll also be able to see whose in it if you're not a member but you won't be able to see posts unless you are member - does this Make sense?
Currently called 'Mumsnet - Due December 2014' if people want to go ahead and I open to closed rather than secret ....

Bighairy and porqoui i understand your reluctance ofc

BigHairyLeggedSpider · 18/08/2014 21:14

I have searched but I can't findGrin

CallingAllEngels · 18/08/2014 21:15

Evening all. Haven't caught up. Had 20w scan today and everything's fine. Team yellow!

Peaceloveandbiscuits · 18/08/2014 21:16

Ah I'm not worried about privacy as such, it just makes me really ill and paranoid! I'm much better off without it in my life. Of course I will survive if you decide to move there, I appreciate that I'm in the minority :)

hanniebabes3 · 18/08/2014 21:18

Ive tried to find it but no joy xx

BigHairyLeggedSpider · 18/08/2014 21:18

Ladylel · 18/08/2014 21:19
