forghorn & Lebe,

Hope you are getting through the day without too many tears, I'm really I finish end of Oct and can't wait.

Mygirl can I borrow DD3 sometime? Our house is old and I swear the spiders and woodlice have more right to be there than me! She wouldn't go hungry!

Lots of pain today everytime LO moves it feels like it's climbing my ribcage from the inside. DH works in the same building though and just brought me Yorkie which seems to be helping take my mind of it!

LO keeps sticking his feet in my ribs again today i'm in agony ! I get up and walk around have a glass of water, it goes, then comes back when I sit back down

Hi all,

FHLH & Lebe - have lovely last days and don't be too sad - hugs P.S can I have carrot cake Lebe?

Had my growth scan on Wednesday - the baby is off the top of every chart - eeek! The water volume is also very high, it should be between 4 - 7 cms and mine is 10cm. Suspect a c-section may be the order of the day, just got to see what the lovely consultant says on Thurs next week. Got a brill face on pic of the baby though which is lovely!

Am now very frightened about the whole thing. Realise the baby has to come out but would like some answers on how! As I type, lo has hiccups which I find really funny...

Charlee - you really aren't having fun are you? Lots of get well hugs to you

Hi to the newbies!

Sorry again if I have missed anybody but I can't believe how much everybody chats!

Its getting really scarey, got 5 weeks left Eeeeekkkkk ! feeling really restricted, feeling more and more like bloody humpty dumpty every day, I cant bend I don't like it !

Right Girlies this is it - God im so dramatic!! Im probably gonna be at my mums sunday so will come on then (ha ha cant get rid of me that easily). Ive done really well today no tears i think it will hit me tonight when im on my own.

Ive had a good last say and just got lots of pressies so very exciting, off to Asda in a bit (ohhh exciting) anyway hope everyone has a good weekend and speak soon xx

Hope we hear from you soon Lebe.
We've just got broadband at home for first time and I'm so glad. Don't think I could manage without coming on here regularly and catching up with everyone. I have 2 weeks left at work still but it feels like it's approaching quite fast. I imagine time will drag after that though. It's years since I've not had a job to go to every day.

Have a good weekend everyone!

Right then girlies I am off, DH is home, and chatting on the phone instead of packing his things - he only needs to sort out two days worth of clothes and undies, I have done the rest of it, and it has still taken him longer to sort his out, I should have just done the lot!!!

Anyway, have a good weekend all! TC xxx

Evening

Hope your all ok im still feelin' fine so you don;t have to worry! I have been sticking religiously to my antibiotic schedule.

My LO hasn't had hiccups so far that i have felt but ds had them all the time when i was pregnant with him, he used to keep me up all night hiccuping!

I have had wait for it 2 nights of uninterupted sleep now! no peeing or anything im chuffed although i'm gonna shut up now i don't want to curse it!

The dr said to me last night that i had a very generous sized baby in here, i thought cheers luv fill me with confidence!

Nobody about?

Oh well i will chat to myself!

I had a bad night i didn't sleep a wink literally but i was imensly cheered up this morning when the lovley postman delivered unto me a letter saying i am getting £500 next Wednessday for the Sure Start Maternity Grant!

Im feeling ok today im a little tired but i will cope, i have been and done my fruit and veggy shopping at the local market which was nice as it's fairly sunny outside.

i'm here!!!! dp has gone to london for a job interview, so i'm feeling all lonely!! i went the whole night without peeing too... well almost i did go at 5.30 when dp got up, but i'm usually up at 1am then 3 and 5 so i'm saying it was a good night!

Hi there

i had a fairly good night to, dh was working overtime till 3 this morning so i had the bed to myself, its so much easier to sleep when you have more room!

Sara - loads of luck to your dp, hope he gets the job.
Charlee - hope you can have a nap or something later and if not have a good night tonight.

nope.. didn't get job, not enough experience - oh well!! he does have a job lined up, somewhere he used to work, so situation not too bad anymore.. he can keep looking for a better job without the pressure!!

Well on a more positive note - my heartburn seems to be improving but it couldn't really have got any worse! But I am waking up every 2 hours in the night - I don't need the toilet or anything, I think I must just get uncomfortable and wake up. DH went fishing last night, so I had the whole bed to myself - it was lovely but I still woke up every 2 hours! Must be getting in practise for when lo arrives only 4 weeks left

Hello everyone

I thought it would take me ages to catch up with everything I missed over the weekend but nope, you've all been too busy with real life by the look of it!!

Well we had a nice quiet weekend at my mums, and the news of the century is we have finally bought the travel system!!! We decided on the Micralite in the end, it isn't the nicest looking piece of kit in the world, but it is perfect for us in every other way, and the added bonus of the carrycot thing is lovely for a winter baby, so I am chuffed!! Also very pleased with myself when the snotty cowbag of a sales girl stood there looking at me like I was stupid when I said that the Maxi-Cosi carseat fits on the buggy, she didn't believe me until she went and checked it out with her manager, and then she huffed and puffed all the way through her manager showing us how it all goes together!! LOL I don't normally revel in other peoples cock ups but she was really getting on my nerves!!

And the other news is that I am feeling a lot more comfortable the last week or so, my bump is no where near as big and hard, heartburn has eased off a bit, not completely but is better, the only thing I am having to contend with is even though I feel and look a lot smaller my stretchmarks are really stretched, they itch like mad, and at night when I try to roll over in bed - it is agony, and I have clicked bones in my hips that I didn't even know where there!! All of which leads me to think that the baby has began the descent!

Does anyone know what the rough cut off mark salery wise is for the SSMG?

I have waffled on again haven't I?!! I've said it before, but it is because it's Monday! Anyway, enough, have a good day everyone

Hi all, hope you are ok, have just posted the following on the bereavement section. I'm ok and LO is ok...

"Hi,

I have not had a good relationship with my Dad for some years, since he and my mum divorced and there is also a lot of history. He had mental health issues which resulted in me having him sectioned at the start of the year as he was living at the time with my 92 year old grandfather (who is also now very sadly deceased) and life was hell - he was threatening to kill him and all sorts.

After a stay in our local mental hosp, the social workers found him a private rent flat but there was not any follow up. I rang them in April when my grandfather died to warn them that my dad may have some sort of relapse but they did not even know where he was living or who is social worker was.

My brother was the only one with any regular contact as my father would not see me (nor did I really want to see him) but had not heard from him for about 3 weeks. My brother is only 22 and didn't think too much of this.

The police turned up at my Mother's house yesterday and informed her that they had been called to the flat by the neihbours and they had had to break in, where they found my father who apperently had been dead for "some time".

I am obviously very shocked and sad that he is dead as he was only 53 but he wasn't a nice person. Nobody deserves to die alone though and I feel guilty that I did not have more contact with him.

I am his next of kin as I am his eldest child. I am also 33 weeks pregnant. My mum & brother are going to the flat today to get all his paperwork plus any valuables and then we can hand the flat back to the estate agents. I am going to take the role of probate holder and deal with everything as um is not allowed to as she had a clean break order with the divorce. My brother will do what he can but he is only 22.

I am sorry this post is so long but I needed to get it all out and I also need to know if anyone has any advice on what I should do. Once we have all the paperwork we can try and find a will but we don't think he made one. He was on long term sick pay from his work and there is a pension. Mum is speaking to the coroner today so we can hopefully have a cause and date of death (the police said "natural causes")

I just don't know what to do now. Any advice gratefull received.

Thanks, podglet"

Podglet, I am sorry. I don't really have any advice re. the legal stuff, but, through it all, try and and take some time for yourself, you don't need to shoulder all of the pressure on your own, and you will also need to grieve. If your mum or brother (or anyone else) offers to get some of it sorted out - let them, you have you and the baby to think about right now.

{{{big hugs}}}

podgelet, how sad and confusing for you

take care of yourself and lo xx

Oh goodness podgelet what a horrible thing to have to deal with. I have nothing useful to offer in a practical sense, but i do understand about feeling guilty cause you didn't seem him more often. I don't like my father and don't often see him, would see him a lot less if it weren't for him wanting to see DS.

Take care of yourself as well as sorting out the stuff you need to.
