Bel I can't wait to go to the spa although I can only use the pool so I'll have a few treatments so DH can use the steam room etc. We are going away for a week in April but only to Haven with the children. We usually go abroad but I don't feel up to it. Plus we tried haven in October and we all loved it.
Elizarado I have extreme thirst as well. I too am jumping on the yoga wagon. I've found a class near me and I can't wait.
Woodsy I'm not sure they will do an Indian head massage on you. Any type of massage has to be adapted for pregnancy & not all therapists are qualified to do that. I love my routine. I always managed to get out of the house fine as well. It's when they are toddlers that the fun starts. My youngest has a tantrum every morning about not wanting to go to nursery.
Pinsey they didn't listen for a the babies heartbeat at my 16 week appt either. All rather disappointing I was in and out in 10 mins.
Thom welcome. Sorry I don't know about hypertension. Who told you about the possibility of labour at 28weeks? Midwife or doctor. I find sometimes they err on the side of caution & can unnecessarily worry you. With my first I was told he was too small by the midwife and that he must have growth problems. I went to a consultant & he pretty much laughed and said i was just having a small baby. Ds1 was 6lb. With number 2 they said I would need a blood transfusion & c section as I had such severe anaemia. Again it didn't happen and I had a normal birth & no transfusion. Maybe they just have to give us worst case scenario.
Scase personally I would save the money for a scan after your NHS one. You will probably see more of baby then plus it will be confirmation of the sex. The 4d scans are great. Don't worry about the Mayo I've made spaghetti carbonara a few times during pregnancy I always add prawns plus obviously it contains raw egg.
Cheery I've been doing the Erin o'Brien dvd I love it. She makes me laugh.
Bluebell glad your job got sorted. I hate being self employed.
I'm really hating my new job I feel that she's just taking the piss. Loads of groupons running which means for an hour & a halfs work I make £12.70. It's all massage so I'm exhausted. Ive made at least double that per hour in other salons
. I don't know how I'm going to cope until maternity leave. I keep getting more & more hours put on me. Including Saturday's which I had said I didn't want to do.
I've been feeling quite a lot of movement however, in the last two days I haven't. I'm hoping movements I feel are just inconsistent as its so early.
