ffaux so pleased you've got the all clear from your scan. Fingers crossed your placenta moves up, waiting to see if mine moves up enough to attempt vbac with bump. Mine was a little higher than yours almost 2cm away from cervix, at 22+6. In the nhs trust I'm under has a policy to rescan at 36 weeks to check vaginal delivery is safe.
mishap hope the scan brings lots of reassurance and the wait isn't too hard.
indom it is a really intresting topic, a friend of mine really glowed when she was pregnant but was a size 16 when she concieved. She seemed to go from looking normal to suddenly being giant in the last couple of months. Feel awful for her now when she compares herself to much smaller mums to be who have bumpy bumps and all she can say is she looked like a beached whale (and still says she does, with her 4 week old).
marmite your new midwife sounds horriable! Very lucky with mine and the hospital I'm under. My surgery has 3 midwives based there and they are all lovely. So far I've always seen my named midwife, the same one I had with dd for every appointment. She was away once when I was pregnant with dd and I had a phone call from the midwife covering before hand to warn me and introduce herself. She was really good at getting the student with her to introduce herself too. Even at the hospital they make a real effort to get you in to see the same the consultant or same memeber of his staff, be seen by the same maternity assistant and sonographa and are really applogetic if they can't.
trinpy what a lovely picture. Making it much harder for me to resist taking up my great uncle's offer to pay for one for us!
missi hope you have a lovely time, you really deserve it!
Can't remember who asked about the gtt. I had to fast from 10pm, allowed to drink water but nothing else. For me the drink was awful, litterally a thick gritty sugar water, had 5 mins to drink it, then no water until after the second blood test. I took breakfast bars to wolf down the second I could. Greasy food is meant to help after, it did with dd, but this time around it took a few days to actually feel like I could eat normally. Also wanted to do nothing but sleep after the gtt this time. Results were fine both times!
Had a busy few days here, 100 mile round trip to get measured for a maternity bra, worth it but agonising with the unwelcome return of morning sickness. Dd had two christmas parties yesterday and we're working a production line to make lots of 'adult' chocolate buttons for christmas gifts. All but one of my christmas gifts have been solved by them, easy but look amazing. Need to find time one evening to make christmas pudding fudge. Still have the headache of dh's granddad to buy for; he doesn't do sweets or chocolates!
