@Iamchanging so sorry. Nothing anyone can say will help. We are all thinking about you x

WLMcI · 28/09/2017 20:26

@weasledee I'm so pleased for you! Congratulations honey!

@Lenska, it's a coincidence that your due date is only a day after mine, but your baby's arrival date is my own birthday! I know what you mean, I feel like I've been pregnant for a year! Although I think that's probably because I nearly have been; I found out I was pregnant at the New Year, then had a miscarriage in February at 10 weeks, then got pregnant again almost straight away--so it has been a stressful year and it has dragged in.

WLMcI · 28/09/2017 20:35

@Hotpinkangel19 I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. You've suffered so much loss this year; you must be so looking forward to holding your baby as a bright little spark at the end of it all. I hope you're getting any counselling you need if you feel you're not coping well. Baby will be fine with the stress, but you owe yourself that self care. X

WLMcI · 28/09/2017 20:41

@iamchanging that is heartbreaking, and I am so sorry for your loss. I know there's nothing anyone can say to help, but know that we are all thinking of you and your partner and wishing the best things for you in your future. X

ChocoMunchi · 28/09/2017 21:15

@Iamchanging so sorry for your loss my thoughts are with you and your partner 💐

SJ1989 · 28/09/2017 21:49

@iamchanging I am heart broken for you and really can't even begin to imagine how you and your family must be feeling! Our thoughts are with you all, please take care of yourselves

MegRam · 28/09/2017 23:26

Sending love @Iamchanging. Thinking of you xx

Fredthefrog · 29/09/2017 06:29

@iamchanging so sorry to hear you news. Thinking of you

Maybebaby2 · 29/09/2017 08:16

I'm so sorry Iamchanging sending love to you and your family and my thought are with you Flowers xx

Bringmethechips · 29/09/2017 14:25

So sorry to hear that @Iamchanging, take care of yourselves in this heartbreaking time xx

GruffaloSoldier · 29/09/2017 19:17

Hi all,

I haven't been on for a while so can on to say hi and check in.

Have just seen @Iamchanging 's news though. I am so sorry and I am thinking of you and your family. Take care of yourself and each other.

Isabeau1980 · 29/09/2017 19:41

Iamchanging I am so sorry to hear your news.

MissyJones80s · 29/09/2017 23:22

Been away for a few days and so sorry to read about Iamchanging not sure she'll read this now but all my love and thoughts to you and your family x

klaw87 · 30/09/2017 07:55

@Iamchanging I don't have any words but I will be thinking if you and your family - I am so so sorry xxx

SJ1989 · 01/10/2017 07:50

Does anyone know when does the nhs count as the 3rd trimester? Some places seem to say from 27 weeks and some say 28 but if you split 40 weeks into 3 it does work out as 27, It doesn't actually make any difference but just curious as I'm 27 weeks today

millsbynight · 01/10/2017 09:58

@SJ1989 I think it starts from "the end of the 27th week" (so 28 weeks).

I get confused about the months too. Some say 6 months for example is 24th week while other say 6th month starts at 22 weeks.

On an entirely unrelated topic, my DS turned 7 yesterday 😭😭😭😭😭😭 where does the time go?!?! 😭

Is anyone else experiencing leg cramps at night? I'm already uncomfortable anyway, but now I'm up four or five times a night running waddling around the room to stretch out cramp in my legs! It's driving me round the bed!

Rosehyd2 · 01/10/2017 11:51

@MegRam I'm not personally but all the email updates I get about week 24 have mentioned this. They say try to elevate your kegs slightly during the day when sat down and walk helps to ease it, as does swimming (which is impossible in the middle of the night unless you have a pool)

Usernamegone · 01/10/2017 12:02

I've decided I need to woman up at my next midwife app (28w) after feeling sad and anxious after my last one. If feel part of the problem I have seen 4 different midwifes (I'm in an area were you are meant to see the same one) so there is zero continuity so you don't know if everything is being covered and all questions are deflected with it will be fine/we discuss that at a later appointment!

They seem to operate a policy of giving out zero information or giving out information only 10 seconds before you need to know!

Any ideas about what I should be asking at a 28w appointment?

So far I have -
At my 20w scan I had placenta preavia so I'm booked in for a 32w scan. What should i expect at that appointment?
Do you offer tours of the labour ward/MLU?
When do we discuss birth choices/where to give birth?
What antenatal classes are offered in my area and when do I receive information about them?

Fredthefrog · 01/10/2017 14:19

@megram I am getting leg cramps too. Not when asleep just late evening. Not much to be done except stretch and elevate legs. Make sure you are drinking lots. There is always some new annoyance in this pregnancy lark isn't there.

Mortigua · 01/10/2017 17:53

Would it be okay to join? Due mid Jan with my third. I know I'm late to this so won't try to catch up completely but would be nice to chat with some people due around the same time.

Rosehyd2 · 01/10/2017 18:02

@Mortigua welcome :) I'm due Jan 20th with my first.

Mortigua · 01/10/2017 18:13

Thank you!

Ruthcarr1990 · 01/10/2017 18:59

Hi all not been on for ages!!! Hope we are all ok, been busy buying things, got my Moses basket and a prep machine yesterday at a Nearly new sale!! Picked some wipes up in Lidl they are on sale 4 packs for £1.34. Xxx

MissyJones80s · 01/10/2017 19:17

Hi and welcome Mortigua!!!

Anyone know if it's worth my DH coming to the 24 week midwife appointment. He always is keen to come but I've always said no point as just in and out, however I'm wondering if this time we might go over or start to go over birth plan at all???
