Evening ladies! Stats List for anyone wanting to check it
Feeling really rough atm, I am living on marmite on toast and crap, I wish I could stomach something healthy! I don't want to end up the size of a small house again!
Just realised I did the stats list link wrongly last time 
that'll teach me for not pressing preview!
I've updated you Smug and notso
oh MrsE I was very very itchy last week and still am on occasion!
loving your positivity sunbathing keep it up :D
yup jazzy it will be ok :)
gosh ots that dream does sound horrible :( glad you're feeling positive now :) I'm also unsure whether to have an early scan, i'm not sure if I 'need' to have one for my peace of mind or not, or if I think I can hang on. I think the main thing for me is it's such a long wait to get to the 12 week scan and I panic that I don't know what's going on. I was fine in the later half of my pregnancy last time as I got an angel sounds heartbeat monitor thing and listened to ds every single day, can't remember when I first heard it but I listened daily and it made me feel SO much better. I am sure i'll be doing the same again.
so sorry about your dp's grandmother perpetual
I had an early gender scan with DS, but it was a reassurance scan and we ended up finding out. I was 17w and he stopped moving for a bit and I panicked. My mum had gone away for the weekend and I rang her and half an hour later she rang back telling me to get to our local private scanning place quickly as she'd paid for me to be seen for a 10 min reassurance scan and the asked us if we wanted to find out his willy was clearly visible on the screen so we said yes. For my birthday dp paid for a private scan package so I got a few scans especially as DS was awkward and was never looking the right way for pictures!
it's actually slowed down from the other day hasn't it bubalou??
insomnia returned for me last night, grr!
13 days till booking in and it's going soooo sloooowwwww
chook you're definitely not alone, I hate feeling so rubbish but if I didn't i'd worry, i also keep checking my boobs are indeed sore
have added you to the stats guy congrats and welcome! I've linked to the stats list at the top of this post if you haven't found it already - you can add in your other details (I think it lets you do it, if not just tell me and i'll sort it, but it should work) :) Sorry it's not so easy to find the stats list - I do wonder if maybe when we get to the next thread could whoever starts it off put the stats list in the first post or something?
oh smug those cupcakes are gorgeous!
I am seriously looking into sling stuff, I keep trying to anyway but don't really know where to start!
I have only grown one baby, he was 7lb 4.5oz but was as long as a long thing! A string bean he was! He did not stay that size for long, he grew so quickly it's unbelievable and I never did have a dotty baby, and he is now 23 months old and wears 3-4 yrs clothes and has size 8 feet (and he is due a measuring). i've nothing to compare him to obviously but regardless of size it BLOODY HURTS! My mums biggest baby was 10lb 6. I think she came keen, but actually she tells me my 7lb 2 brother was harder work. I am one of 7 (4 natural births, 2 c-sections and 1 adopted) so despite not having my own 'stats' I have my mum to ask and she always tells me no two labours are the same. Anyway i am waffling, you'll all have to tell me to shurrup when i waffle! Also, don't panic cuphat my brother was set to be an at least 10lb er they reckoned, and he was the 7lb 2 that came after the 10lb 6, and the other two after that, though c-sections, were both smaller than the 10lb 6er. I don't remember DSIS 3 but DSIS 4 was 7lb 6. I can't forget this one as she's only 18 months old, so is younger than my own ds!
thanks for the info on slings smug very helpful! You do grow good sized babies indeed!
have added your age to the stats mrse
hope you feel better soon forty
Position wise, DS wanted to do a sideways entry, and was face up but slightly twisted. Really hurt!!!!! It did nothing for my nethers I tell you and still the most horrifying moment for me was having two nurses nose-to-fadge in my nethers and one going to the other 'where does this bit go'!!! I was all starry eyed and amazed at my newborn but the minute I heard that I came crashing back to reality I can tell you! Oh the images I had of my poor foof after that!! It's ok, if anyone is concerned, they did an ok job on it in the end ;)
Realised I may be scaring some first timers - sorry! If it helps, it can't be that bad can it, if I'm here willing to do it all again?
Sounds like a busy day bubalou i've done a grand total of Jack today, other than not throw up and get ds to bed solo (dp works nights and this weeks shifts are 6-2)
Like the idea of us being an asylum!
Oh look an epic post! You'll have to get used to those i'm afraid (or tell me to shurrup) i'm well known for them. I can't help it, I don't like to leave things out
