rray I've gone the other way, lost my appetite completely. Think that's just cos I'm a bit stressed with work and things, yesterday I cried like a loon because I burned the dinner, and went into one about being a rubbish mum ds (21 months) is going through a gripey groany phase, and I feel like I'm always saying NO to him cos he's getting into everything he shouldn't.. it is not much fun and tho 2 children is NOTHING I keep thinking I will just be rubbish and not cope.
Anyway. in answer to your qs - ds was a very average size, 7lb15, tho he was 2 weeks early so I guess would've been on the big size if he'd gone to 40wks. I measured dead on for dates tho, and it's the same this time..
And for me, the thing that got my ds out was the threat of his pa being overseas when he was born!! when it looked like dh was only going to be home from work abroad for a week before my edd and then away til 3 weeks later, lots of mw said, well your baby will either come early or late - ie when your dh is around.. it is a bit of a drastic measure though. I'd stick to pineapples, curry and nipple tweaking given the choice!
by the way, are you on the south coast, rray ? we're in Brighton and had a lovely walk on the beach today in the glorious sunshine..
Tink Superb thread title, thank you!
jamescagney good to see you, how was the docs?? and ta for the christmas wishes even if they are a little early
qumps don't feel bad about the email, it's good that you were honest about feeling unsupported by them, people can forget how hard this stuff can be. Far better that you wrote the email than say nothing, at least they now realise that you need them to stroke you lots atm.
gtdab sorry to hear about last night, and about your Dr encounter today. so frustrating when they talk to you like you haven't got a clue. Good on you for standing your ground.
Right. I'm off to eat some custard and ignore the washing up, the toys all over the floor, the refused spaghetti-dinner on the walls and the bottle of vodka in the freezer.
