HMP ? perhaps it was you I was thinking about when I thought of teachers? It?s ejb who is the brummie, not me! I live just outside Cardiff ? by the sea (!) - although I grew up in Birmingham, I?ve lived in Wales for longer than I lived in Brum!
I think we could get the midwives to do a poo dance for us if we do one while we?re in labour ?. Just a thought
Dal21 ? hi and welcome! I have read a lot of threads where Xenia posts ? I tend not to post anything, as I figure that although I know she?s wrong about a lot of things, I just cannot be bothered to try to convince her of the fact!
J20 ? hope you car gets sorted out!
Muppetgirl ? can?t help but giggle as I imagine you in your pimp wagon ? as you get more pg ? it?ll somewhat spoil the effect having a huffing puffing lady getting out of it!
As for your dates, it?s a bit complex ? they say that the most reliable dating scans are done between 8 and 11 weeks ? before or after that gets less reliable as time goes on. I?ve thrown a bit of a wobbly about my dates as I knew when I ovulated ? and for madam bean to have been conceived when they tried to change my dates to, would have meant an immaculate conception iykwim! Anyway, that?s probably of no help to you at all, but if you think there are some problms with your dates, then you need to make a fuss ? and a mw, experienced though she is, cannot measure that accurately!
Polarmummy ? you rant away girl ? the person in life who p!sses me off almost as much as my mil is my sister too ? at the moment she?s being the most tactless person you could imagine ? telling me that I?m waddling, then laughing as I have to crawl up the stairs as I?m in so much pain! She?s quite severely physically disabled herself, and knows what chronic pain is like ? I never_ laugh at her when she is suffering ? sorry, am very with her at the moment.
I think I will join you on the AIBU thread, just to vent!
Nellie ? I?ve only just starting feeling the whole somersaulty thing going on ? and I?m 26 weeks now ? I think you start to feel the kicks more when they start running out of room to move, and have to make more of an effort to move ?
Inzi ? hope your sil is ok.
Designerbaby ? glad your appointment with the mw was positive! Buying shoes is never gratuitous ? it?s good for your mental wellbeing!
My news ? I?ll be brief ? I went for my 1st hydro session this morning ? it was bliss - water at bath temperature, and gentle exercises which really stretched my pelvis ? it?s hurting now, and I?m knackered, but I feel as though it?s a ?good? pain iykwim ? I?ve also found out that I?m entitled to all sorts of things after madam bean arrives ? I?ll get 5 days inpatient physio (if I?m in that long ? it wasn?t part of my plan tbh!), I also get care at home to help me with coping with the stairs and stuff, and I?ll get physio sessions to help with the spd for up to 4 months after the birth ? if I?m still having problems after that, they?ll still help, but not under the maternity banner. Absolutely fab! It was so nice to talk to other women who have the same problems ? one of the ladies also has coccyx problems (also from a sports accident!), but she doesn?t have the spd as well ? I was the only one there on crutches! I was also the least pg ? but quite a long way!
Anyhoo ? feeling very positive ? but tired, so am going to catch some zzzzzzzzzzzz
