aw trace how frustrating, you poor thing. Hope things start to gear up properly for you soon.
orangecrush I've just realised you're not on our Dec due list? Did we miss you along the way, or are you on there but renamed? I would hate to miss you off it accidentally
arti hope those sweeps get things moving for you. I can't imagine having to have more than one done. Even the thought of one scares me! I don't know what the procedure is here, I will have to ask the midwife at my 40wk appt tomorrow.
zoejeanne sorry to hear about the heartburn. It does seem suspicious if it happens after you have the RL tea - esp if veggie is experiencing the same. You could always take tablets instead? That's all I could find here in the chemist (unfortunately I haven't got a nice herbal tea store nearby).
waitinggirl hope you've had/are having a wonderful graduation! You deserve it after all that hard work!
LT what a trollop of a HV, I think your DD has such a lovely name.
kayz sorry to hear about your run of bad luck.. but with them running in 3's - well, babykayz coming would be good luck wouldn't it?? Esp since your dad is there now. Want to have a race to first baby for our due date day? Bet yours comes before mine does!
traceface am loving that contractionmaster website, thanks for the link. Much more fun than the boring stopwatch we bought to time contractions. Love how it pulses when the contraction is being timed (perhaps it should play some music like the lone ranger theme tune or something, LOL)
SL I was not engaged at all last appointment (39 weeks) so you're not the only one. I'm looking at the upside though - at least I usually only need to pee once in the night. My sister's first didn't engage till just before labour either, perhaps it's something to do with the shape of our pelvis'?
Turnip that's disgusting about the charges for the airbag disabling. Did they tell you how much it would be before you had it done? (I'm assuming you've had it done). Perhaps ring a couple of other authorised places and ask them for a 'quote' - if you can find it much cheaper elsewhere then at least you've got that as ammo to prove they're being unreasonable about it. I'd also be ringing the car manufacturer to ask how long this job should take (to make sure they're not charging you too much time for it).
Verso sorry to hear you're still having a worrying time with the health care people - I'd say get a second opinion on the weight thing if you need to. I really hate the assumption that all bubs will be the same; surely some will put on more weight than others, and it is still 'normal'? Anyway of course I'm no expert so don't take my word for it, I'm just frustrated on your behalf.
hiccy & nolda hope your sweeps go well.
katie - apols in advance for you with this bit (haven't forgotten about your GD).
LadyT and arti, I was not a big choc fan for many years. I think it was the cheap yuckko stuff I used to get given in mass quantities for easter that did it. I have since however been introduced to extremely good chocolate, and it makes the world of difference. I would rather eat one very small very nice choc than a whole block of the yuccky stuff. I remember being in Belgium and eating some fresh handmade ones at the Galler choc shop... and then when I was in Paris I visited this shop
The other day I went into the grog shop too, to buy a couple of bottles of nice plonk to celebrate babybisou's arrival. For some reason I felt I needed to explain to the cashier that it was for 'post' birth celebration... (didn't want them worrying I was intoxicating my unborn babe )
beans that is a gorgeous photo of your new family. How happy does your DH look!?
And congratulations on the new arrivals Allie and modernlove too. Some more boys to even up the gender count!
