Ejt ? I?m in Newcastle for the text/email buddy thing if that helps! On the stats thread not sure we have many others up here but we have family in Hertfordshire and Herefordshire if that makes it easier!
Sorry you have been having a frustrating day with everything you have been trying to organise falling through. And after such a disturbed night too. How frustrating! Hope the day gets better?.
J20 ? LOL at your cunning trick of turning the clock back to get more graft out of your brother! I like your style!!! Hope mw appt went well today too?.
Lisa ? sorry you had such a crap Tuesday. Hope Wed got better?
Muppet ? glad your consultant appointment was so positive ? she sounds like a star. We have a birth reflections service up here that anyone can contact at anytime after childbirth to talk through your experiences and arrange to go through your notes with someone. Didn?t need it myself but think it sounds like a great service. A shame you didn?t get offered this but great you?ve had the chance to go through things a bit now and that your concerns are being taken seriously. And you haven?t been annoying at all ? its what we?re here for!
Floria ? I was much like you last time ? my bump grew massively expecially at this stage ? I think this is why I am a little concerned this time. He is moving OK though so hopefully I?m paranoid ? if not I?m doing the right thing to get checked. I think as far as weight gain goes some people just seem to put it on more easily than others ? could do with a more tactful family though I think! I guess with all you?ve been through to get to this point watching your body obviously expand like this muct be a very reassuring sign that your lo is growing nicely!
Sorry to hear you?ve been having hassle on ebay though ? that?s well out of order of the seller! You are right ? entirely their responsibility to get postage costs right and to set a price they are happy to expect. When I first started selling stuff I got my fingers burnt on postage a couple of times which is annoying but it was my fault ? would never dreamt of asking for more money or changing the terms!!!
Chochobnob ? Try not to worry about the fact your bump is getting big! Sam thing happened to me last time and my ds was on the small side at 6lb 9oz when born. Sure you?re fine but right it?s a minefield! Enjoy your time off and baby shopping?. My lo is another ds so we have loads of stuff already. I?ve bought a double buggy (mountain buggy urban second hand from ebay ? delighted!!!) a cot and some newborn clothes (we borrwed these for ds) so think we have most things covered?
Glad mw appt went well too?
Buffy ? yippee on physio appt!! About time! Sorry about all the agro but at least its finally happening?
Dal ? you can buy something called a bellybelt ? can?t remember where from but loads of places sell them so try putting it into google. It is a contraption to button into your flies so you can wear your normal jeans under maternity tops. Fab!
Well I?m a size 10 and am still a size 10 although now maternity. Don?t seem to have expanded apart from bump and boobs though but bump definitely smaller than last time. Initially it was much bigger for dates but this time with ds1 he had been right up under my ribs for a good couple of weeks (I?m only a midget of 5 foot!)yet there is a good 10 cm to go before ds2 is at the same place. Def think he?s not got bigger last couple of weeks but will see what mw says?.
Anyway I have a night out with the girls from my nct class from when I was pg with ds1 tonight. Had been really looking forward to it but now totally knackered as ds didn?t settle very well yesterday evening ? think he?s teething bless him. Sure I will have a good time once I?m there though but will def not be making a late one!
Hope the rest of you are all well and well done if you?re still reading this ? think its my longest yet!!! Won?t be around later though so wanted to make sure I had caught up with you all properly. Will let you know how mw appt goes tomorrow am and will probably be about tomorrow lunchtime when ds is aslepp. Take care and big hugs for one and all?.
