Pleased your out of hospital turquoise and hope you can take it easy.

I'm having roast chicken too.....roasties in the oven now! :) Enjoy a lazy Sunday evening everyone - here bump is having a good wriggle!

Happy Sunday everyone...

I've been to my mums for a roast, bliss!!

turquoise glad to hear you are coming home, really hope this stops soon!

blondie sorry to hear you had a bit of a scare too, but think it's very common to bleed after dtd but don't blame you for not wanting to do it again!

Exciting to hear people are starting to pack hospital bags.... This means it's really really happening!

I've suddenly panicked, I'm sure they got it wrong at the 20 week scan and I am actually having another boy, not that it matters at all to me but I'm only packing white baby grows and vests and some little multi coloured hats I knitted rater than all the pink bits I've been given.

I think where I used to be scanned weekly with the other 3 I was always 100% sure but this time I've not seen her/him since 20 weeks and as DS1 pointed out, at 20 week scan with him they said he was a girl right up until 30 weeks when I thought to double check after seeing what I thought was balls and it was!

Oh Tori -so sorry you are in pain

V glad you are out of hospital turquoise

Am too wondering if they made a mistake at the 20 week scan tits! It's been so long since I've seen baby, I'm starting to doubt it too

I never found physio helped with SPD Tori, although if I'm honest, I see a physio regularly when pregnant or not because I have hyper mobility syndrome and none if them have given me anything that actually helps yet, the only thing that makes a difference is hydrotherapy but trying to get into a pool regularly is tough, especially when heavily pregnant!
I cry at least once a night when I go to turn over in my sleep and it feels like my pelvis has snapped in half. I don't have any advice sadly but I can stand (or sit!) in solidarity with you because I know how you feel.

Really tits ?? They said a girl at 20 weeks then boy at 30 weeks?? Ahhh! Did you have names picked out? I have in my head I am having a girl so would be a shock to see a penis ha!

I don't mean 'just' in my head, I have been told at 16 weeks and 20 weeks she is a she!

tits andtori I am so sorry you're in such pain.

I suddenly worried that the baby might be a boy after all.(I wouldn't mind but dd would be cross) so asked the pornographer to double check at my growth scan.

Have just noticed some small red spots on my bump - like small moles but bright red and maybe a dozen altogether. Anyone know what they might be?

Yawn. Would it be ridiculous to go to bed now?

Hahahahaha longest I love that auto correct!!

So sorry you're in such pain tori :(

Yep, my DS1 was named Phoebe after the 20 weeks scan, then I was scanned weekly due to my health although I didn't ask again until 30 weeks when he quickly became Jack! The sonographer said that it's easier to make the mistake of saying girl when it's actually a boy at 20 weeks because of bits being tucked away but they almost never get it wrong the other way.
I do recall calling my (now ex) DP and saying "er, your daughter has grown something she shouldn't have... A pair of nuts"

Now I had my 20 weeks scan done in 2 parts this time by 2 different people and they both said girl but I'm still not convinced after having 3 boys, we have a name picked out for both just incase.

I've taken to sleeping slumped forward over a stack of sofa cushions atm, I cannot wait until the 14th to get this over and done with, then I never have to be pregnant again! however much DP protests!

lol Longest :)

sorry you are in so much pain Tori and tits I can understand it in some ways, I used to suffer with sciatica and never forget being stuck standing in the living room unable to move without wanting to collapse in pain, so you really have my sympathy

We've already said if she turns out to be a boy he will be wearing girly babygrows for the first six months

So this is the baby today at 33+3. She weighs 4lb 12!!

longest brilliant!!

bean lovely pics!!!

tori and tits sorry to hear you are suffering, hope it improves soon..

Lovely pics bean! Sooo cute. It's nice to imagine my little man snuggled up too.

Sorry to those in pain. Sounds rubbish. Stay strong, we're nearly there.

Even though they rarely get it wrong when they say boy, I still had a moment when I was packing his bag for hospital so have gone for unisex baby gros just in case! Haven't bought many that are too boyish anyway. I figure girls can have a little picture of a car on the front of their clothes eh?!!

Excellent pic Bean!

Brilliant longest made me lol!

Brownies were a total hit btw. Recipe here if anyone wants to get their bake off on!www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/salted-caramel-brownies
Going to take the rest into school tomorrow or we'll eat the lot between two!

Mmmm brownies!!!! Scottish I wish I could bake, I am hopeless at baking!!! The most I can do is get a Betty Crocker pre made cookie mix and add water! (They do taste amazing though!)

Anyone else awake. Baby was jabbing me sooo hard I could feel her hands or feet hitting the duvet off my belly! Then the restless legs kicked in! Yawn!!!

Beautiful scan picture of your daughter Bean

Oh God-now I'm panicking Kitlet is a boy and not a girl and I've bought some 6 month old dresses-eek! Hee hee.

Ooohh those brownies look amazing scottish! Quite a lot of ingredients. I only ever bake when I get a sudden urge, so only ever manage recipes which are possible from ingredients we already have I. The house (basic buns, if we have eggs, shortbread if we don't) since being pregnant I have resorted to a microwaveable chocolate cake in a mug which satisfy an instant urge for chocolately sponge.

Any Londoners (or London workers) who are in the group but not part of the facebook page? We are arranging a meet up around Cannon St next Tuesday before we all start heading off on Mat leave. Anyone want to join us? PM me for details or to join discussions on FB...
