Good luck Amy and Jen hope the inductions are short and pain free ;) I have been sleeping much better since folded over a double duvet to make a big squishy pillow to sleep on hips much less sore that and finishing work so stress levels way down :)

WhyOWhyWouldYou · 16/01/2015 09:07

Good luck Jen and Amy. Hope everything goes well for you both.

BanglesSpangles · 16/01/2015 09:16

Exciting times all around! Good luck Jen and Amy with your inductions and memphis with your appointment.
I've gone from one extreme to the other, sleeping half the morning away now! Too much to do for that, not that I want to go back to 4am wake upsConfused

blankfornames · 16/01/2015 09:56

Best of luck today Jen and Amy! More thread babies! Can't wait to hear the news!

AM 35+1 and had hospital check up yday. After being so ill at Christmas they confirmed that I've made a full recovery and that there's no need for Bean to come out at 36 weeks after all!! Very relieved...! Those babies of ours are incredibly resilient!!

WhyOWhyWouldYou · 16/01/2015 10:04

Blank that's great news. Must be such a relief.

Good luck with your appointment Memphis.

BanglesSpangles · 16/01/2015 10:09

Hooray- brilliant news, blank

Just picked up my home birth box from the mw- probably shouldn't have looked in it as I've just found the stick they use to rupture your membranes if you're waters don't go! Meep! Shit just got real!

blankfornames · 16/01/2015 10:11

Bangles... that's quite frightening! There are some things that just should not be poked up there!!

Memphisbelly · 16/01/2015 10:14

bangles maybe you could crochet a blanket with itGrin

just had scan he is measuring 7 pound 6 now waiting for doc

jenmcspen · 16/01/2015 10:15

Thanks everyone! will keep u posted!

blank great news Smile

I think I will be meeting a friend of that pokey stick tomorrow bangles HmmConfused

Hope today goes okay for you memphis

And good luck amy Smile nice to have an induction buddy!

BanglesSpangles · 16/01/2015 10:32

Ha- i guess there's just some things you don't want to be reminded of, and unfortunately mine is sitting in the front room! There was also a package of forceps and scissors. Really shouldn't have peeked in the box! (But blatantly going to have a more in-depth look when i get home! )

Bangles I never thought of them giving you that kind of equipment in advance. I think it would completely freak me out. They are things best not thought about.

sandulacek · 16/01/2015 11:01

Blank great news. They certainly are little fighters, there are few examples on this thread. We had our results for the MRI and it looks baby B's brain hasn't been affected by the freakiness in week 18. It seems such a long time ago now.

freneticfox · 16/01/2015 11:16

Good luck Jen and Amy.. So excited!

Off to midwife later, then mothercare to get angry about the pram debacle!

WhyOWhyWouldYou · 16/01/2015 11:18

Sand that must be such a relief.

blankfornames · 16/01/2015 11:20

Wow Sand, great news. Little fighters is right.

tweety89 · 16/01/2015 11:31

Adding myself to the group (a bit of a late addition, but I had a very bad labour on my first one 4.5 years ago, a MC a year and a half ago and didn't want to jinx it for a bit... Blush )
Good luck to Jen and Amy and to the rest of the girls following soon! :)
Have arranged my c-section date with the specialist for the 19th of Feb so I'm getting there too! How exciting!!

jenmcspen · 16/01/2015 11:32

Channel the preggo rage frenetic Grin

Mimosa1 · 16/01/2015 11:49

Good luck Jen and Amy with your inductions and memphis with your appointment and welcome Tweety.

I had my 38 week appointment yesterday and head is engaged.

Feel like DH and I are practically living at Ikea these days, but slowly getting it all ready. Not long now!

BanglesSpangles · 16/01/2015 11:51

why yeah, i was a bit surprised, but actually, i suppose its easier if it's all in situ in advance- From my brief forage in the box, most of it looked like surgical gloves, and a massive blue sack which I'm guessing is to put the placenta in :D

Welcome tweety

frenetic give them what for- You should actively try and make a shop assistant cry

sandulacek · 16/01/2015 12:40

Frenetic show them the preggo rage! Kind of glad we went with m&p...bit watch the space next week.

donkir · 16/01/2015 13:34

Welcome tweety.
Had mw this morning and baby is still it good position we're 2/5ths engaged. Next app at 38+6. Still measuring bang on dates. She did say my pelvis was very low though. Anyone else have this?

Honeybird · 16/01/2015 13:38

Your pelvis is low? Not sure what that even means. It is on top of your legs, right? Haha sorry I'm sure somebody will know here...

Honeybird · 16/01/2015 13:49

Donkir you got me curious... Check out spinning babies, go to 'start' then 'anatomy'. Maybe you have an android shaped pelvis with a low pubic bone??

sandulacek · 16/01/2015 14:32

Glad all is good donkir no idea about the pelvis though.

Successful Friday here: granny pants bought and preggo strop thrown...as I'm advising Frenetic to have one little I know that metro bank will raise my blood pressure. Trying to pay in a cheque in mine and DH names and the woman tells me I can't cash it as the joint account is apparently still in my maiden name. Ehrm I just handed you my bank card in my maiden name which you issued as I must have shown you the marriage certificate. She says no I can't so I say I'm pregnant and made the journey just to do this. She went again to her manager and it got sorted! Grin
