Evening all, catching up at the end of the day. Rainbowdays, a bit of an ordeal, glad all seems to have settled doen again and LO staying put for now.

Knitter, do you have another scan to check position before decision? You better get your bum up in the air and wiggling your hips to try and turn this one

Scorpio glad your back with us and all ok.

Suze about the lack of French trip - what about a UK break instead?

Knackered at work today, not only bladder and DC waking me last night but acts of god aswell. Were in England FFF - earthquakes whats that all about, shat my pants and took ages to get back to sleep, heres hoping for a more peaceful one tonight.

MW tomorrow, no work and no DC just need to walk car to garage and do some prep work for teaching session next week

I'd much prefer to give birth elsewhere in Europe! Sorry about your trip though Suze. And sorry you're feeling so rough Peachy.

VS, was it you that had an abnormal doppler uterine scan? They are scanning me every two weeks and though everything seems fine i've started to get a bit worried about what it actually means. Does it mean not enough oxygen is getting to the baby? Started to worry about it a bit last night, if anyone knows anything about it...

SuzeM · 27/02/2008 21:07

Rainbowdays, where are you? Have a safe trip home.

Ah yeah, there are loads of nice places to go in the UK. I am just being contrary.

chipmonkey · 27/02/2008 21:56

Hi everyone!
have been away for one night and already more posts than I can keep up with! Mum and I went on a cookery course in Fermanagh and stayed over. Didn't sleep very well last night, kept waking up. So did Mum but mainly because she thought the place was haunted!
rainbowdays, where are you?

KnitterInTheNW · 28/02/2008 07:53

Morning all!

The sonographer seemed to think he has no chance of turning, because he's measuring big for dates. But then again her measurments seemed to be all over the place compared with the weeks ago scan ones, so I'm not listening to her! The registrar I saw afterwards said there's a small chance he might turn, but it is only a small chance. They've not already decided it's going to be a c/s, but it's looking quite likely.
I'm spending every possible minute on my hands and knees, but like the doctor said, he'll do exactly what HE wants to do! He's not listening to his mummy already, what chance do we have of disciplining him when he's even MORE willful?!!

Have a good day.

scorpio1 · 28/02/2008 09:05

i am having a horrible time.

just found porn on his laptop.

scorpio1 · 28/02/2008 09:06

that he got last night when iwas out. we have an agreement because i feel so insecure that he wont have any/look for a while until im better iyswim? i rang him and he said to ring him back.

Its just the icing on the cake at the mo.

EllieG · 28/02/2008 09:08

Mornin' all!
Cool about free scan knitter! - just a thought re turning, the midwife at my aqua natal class said that if you do a duck dive right down to the bottom of the pool, touch is and flip over and come up the water pressure can help baby turn - says generally within 48 hours. But best to ask about it.

EllieG · 28/02/2008 09:10

Oh sorry scorpio - xposts there - sorry you found this if you have an agreement for him not to use at present. He does love you lots though and is very happy with you, try to remember that x

scorpio1 · 28/02/2008 09:21

he doesnt normally look at it anyway.

He said its for his friends. he has done this before so could be true. I told him i feel so unloved at the moment and i think he is trying to be better from now on. He hasnt given me many cuddles and especially as i feel so down i need them.

scorpio1 · 28/02/2008 09:23

I've heard that too about diving to the bottom of the pool. also hands and knees.

Also some sort of reflexology or something? or is that moxibustion?

VictorianSqualor · 28/02/2008 09:23

Oh Scorpio sweetheart, I'm not the best when it comes to porn, even thought I know it's nothing to do with me I'd find it really hard to take, that's my own insecurity I know, but it wouldn't make it feel any better.

Do you know when/where he d/l'd it?

{hug}

Ruty, yes, it was me, basically the blood flow to the placenta is not very strong so there is a risk of it not feeding baby properly which is why they will scan you, with an abnormal result it means you are between 17-33% higher risk of IUGR or pre-eclampsia than a normal result, so this is why they will continue to monitor you, just to check placenta is working adequately and baby is still growing, then if baby stops growing or you develop PE they'll make a decision on when baby should come out.

Try not to worry too much, it's not as bad as it seems, they think that it was probably undiscovered from ym previous two pregnancies which is what caused the placental abruption in the first, but with DS I went to 39weeks no problems then had an el cs and he was 8lb 7.5oz so he definitely had no issues on the growth side!

scorpio1 · 28/02/2008 09:24

yes i know its wiki but here is moxibustion

scorpio1 · 28/02/2008 09:27

VS it was on our laptop when i went to yoga last night. (about half six).

Something about lesbian maids - havent watched it and dont want to. I hate it. I think its because i feel insecure but i dont give a shit - its about respect to me.

I said to him you try putting on 2 stone with a massive tummy; cant fit in anything anymore complete with hurty bones and thrush and leaky breasts and then you see how much you like it when i look at men that look nothing like you.

EllieG · 28/02/2008 09:31

It is hard sweetpea, I remember you giving me some good advice when I was feeling all weirdy and insecure a few weeks back but try to think about how much he loves you and that he really cares about your wellbeing. I know it is difficult not to take it personally when they look at stuff like that when you are feeling down, but it is not a reflection on his feelings about you. Porn is not real, they know it, it's silly fantasty stuff and they don't take it seriously or actually want that.

VictorianSqualor · 28/02/2008 09:44

Lesbian maids Classy.

Ellie's right, it doesn't make it any better but it is only fantasy crap, I bet if he was to have one of the tramps (yes, tramps, I don't care how misogynistic that sounds!) that made it in front of him and you he'd choose you every time.

You're the woman he married and loves, and remember you're still getting it! So he must still fancy you

Here have some of my porn

scorpio1 · 28/02/2008 09:54

how does facebook work? How can isee his wall or whatever bollocks its called?

tons of things in his hostory with girls names.

Mollyfloss · 28/02/2008 09:54

Morning all!

Picking up wifi here in my way to gay paris!

Mum2 b: I don't think I can book pool cos they wouldn't know when to book for so I suppose there is a chance it won't be available. Anyway if tens is going well I'll just stick with that.

Peach and knitter: hope you're both feeling better.

Scorpio: if I were u I would feel exactly the same. He is of course mad about you but you are right to be tough on him. U have so much to deal with and he cannot be doing that. hugs

VictorianSqualor · 28/02/2008 09:57

Do you know his sign in? If you do you'll need to go to 'profile' when you sign in, if not you need to have a facebook profile or someone elses, but if his profile is private you need to be his friend.

sagitta · 28/02/2008 09:57

Scorpio - so sorry. But maybe it was for his friend, as he said? I know how you feel - I am horribly unattractive at the moment, so I can see that finding porn is not going to make you feel better. But you've just got married, he loves you - and you are real. As VS said, porn is just fantasy...

Rainbowdays - hope you are OK now - that must have been a bit scary. Take care on your journey....

Denny - thank so much for desk advice. I am much more comfortable now!

sagitta · 28/02/2008 10:01

VS - can I ask you a really sad question? I saw Eastenders recently (watch it sometimes). Why on earth is that foxy Claire trying to shag Ian Beale? Have I missed something? Did Ian suddenly get sexy when I wasn't looking? Is she a nymphomaniac? Doesn't make any sense...!!

Apparently she wants his money, she ahs tried it with Max Branning and Jack Branning too, and they blew her out.

eva07 · 28/02/2008 10:42

knitter, this is called 'indische brücke' (sorry, couldn't find the english version) and is supposed to be help turning the baby as it's very uncomfortable for the LO.
to make this more comfortable for you, you can put something (cushion...) underneath your pelvic bone and put your legs on a chair (about 40cm height)
do it once or twice a day, not longer than 10 - 15 minutes. if you start feeling unwell (black before your eyes, dizzy), turn onto your left side immediately (this means that the uterus is squeezing an artery)
if you need more info on this - just let me know and i will try to translate the german sites on this topic

(hug) scorpio!
and for (peachy) too. hope you're feeling better today!

sagitta · 28/02/2008 10:42

aaahhhh, that makes more sense...Thanks!
