I just have to say I am hugely impressed with the OPC... I would recommend then to anyone.... I am going to use the seat I have for the next few weeks until they receive my new one from P&T that is being redesigned with fabric zip pulls..... Apparently mine is not the only one this has happened to so they are redesigning the whole thing..... Wow........ I will receive the new seat when it has been made but may take a few weeks so OPC said for me to use the one I have until then and then when the new one comes just change the seats over and throw this one away......... So I don?t have to send anything back or wait forever for this to be sorted. Also as baby is due this week I have a double ready and waiting which is what I really hoped for.

I am so pleased with how I have been treated and the service I just want to give the OPC a shout and recommend them to you all.......

Astarte I hope no news really is good news......

My period like cramps have now gone but I have a huge preasure in my pelvis.... It is agony but think it is just baby moving down and my poor pelvis is struggling to cope.....

idreamofbeanie · 16/02/2009 14:09

Hi all, can't believe there haven't been any new little wagon arrivals over the weekend. Hope your not feeling too fed up LB and Astarte!

I have had a rotten weekend, totally my own fault though. I was invited to a hen do on Sat and I should decided to go. I just told everyone I'd had a stomach bug so wasn't drinking much and carried a half full glass of wine around, pretending to sip now and then. It was a really lovely day but I left early in the morning and we didn't get in until 2 (luckily it was in York so I just walked home). The problem is that I've been feeling really really tired for the last couple of weeks and I feel really really sick when I'm tired. Usually by Friday I feel awful and have to spend the weekend taking it easy so I can face work on Monday. DP suggested going to the whole hen do might be a bit much but I was determined not to 'wimp out' just because I'm pregnant. I'm only 7 weeks after all. He was right of course, I felt fairly bad by Saturday afternoon and struggled to eat anything but was completely dreadful by Sunday. Couldn't sleep but was too sick to eat so just went without food until 6pm then got all dizzy and faint and shouted at poor DP that he should be looking after me and should have made me eat then sat on the stairs and cried. Luckily DP took it all in his stride, made me some dinner, ran me a warm bath then made me have an early night, bless him. I was soooooo embarrassed this morning!

Oops - that was a bit of an essay. Hope you are all well! If I make it to my midwife appt on Wednesday - 8 weeks - I might even be brave enough to add myself to the list.

ohsnap · 16/02/2009 14:10

Have had a message from Astarte, this might be it!!

idreamofbeanie · 16/02/2009 14:13

Oooo, how exciting!

Cosmogirl · 16/02/2009 14:21

Ooo what does it say?? Don't keep us in suspenders!

ohsnap · 16/02/2009 14:25

"This could well be it sweep at lunchtime bloody show"

There's another wagon baby on the way!!

Cosmogirl · 16/02/2009 14:26

woo hoo!!! How exciting!

lardybump · 16/02/2009 15:16

Good luck Astarte please can you pass on a message for me ohsnap and tell her i said BREATH .......

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 16/02/2009 15:30

Hello everyone!
Hurray for some wagon baby movement... come on LB, your turn next...

Shame that those aches dont indicate labour getting close!

Kayz- what made you think DS1 was a boy? Am curious now.. Ive always thought this is boy - its like an intuition but but I really dont know... sounds like a cliche, but Im really not bothered either way.. would be thrilled with either a boy or girl

Hi everyone else

so quiet on the wagon here... where is playing? ... she will be next after Ast and LB!

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 16/02/2009 15:31

Hi IDOB- sorry you are feeling so poorly..good for you for going to the hen do at all, not sure I would have made it...

lardybump · 16/02/2009 15:35

happy is before me as well... Having a sweep on Thursday so hope that will start me off.....

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 16/02/2009 15:41

Ooh yes, forgot about happy
Good luck for the sweep. Have you had one before with DD?

ohsnap · 16/02/2009 15:48

Haven't heard anything yet.... have passed your message on LB!

Well done for making it to the hen do IDOB, at your stage with DD1 I was in bed my 8 every night!

Had my blood test this morning, can't see that it'll tell me anything though, it's supposed to be on CD21 - 7DPO but as I have a 35 day cycle (and poss a short LP too) I'm nowhere near 7DPO, I asked if it could be done again on CD28 but they said no, it has to be on CD21. So that'll be another month wasted before I find out what's going on. Anyway, we're into GOF territory now and have very good this month, nothing less than 3 days apart, now upped to every other day Aah Nat'd be proud

lardybump · 16/02/2009 15:56

you go ohsnap.... I dont remember was sex is to be honest it has been so long........

GYO dd was early so never had a sweep or induction before. She popped her own waters with her finger toes the MW said...

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 16/02/2009 16:07

Hi OS- weird that the doctors are so inflexible about the test dates... there seems to be a rule about assuming everyone has 28day cycles which is crazy. Lots of GOFing sounds like a great plan though

LB- wow its good that DD broke her own waters

So any idea what sex your baby is? Do you have a name shortlist?

lastboxoftampons · 16/02/2009 16:11

Hi everyone! Oooooh Astarte it's all happening!! {{{{{{{{{{easy labour vibes!!!!}}}}}}}

Just got back from my midwives' appointment and for some reason thsi was the appointment where it's suddenly hit home - OMG, I'm going to have a baby!!! heard the heartbeat and I think that's really done it. For some reason seeing it on screen wasn't enough!?!? Maybe I'm strange? I guess it's also because I thought I was feeling movement last week and then nothing really, but today I'm being absolutely pummelled! Tis amazing! So I guess feeling it, combined with hearing the heartbeat made it all seem much more real!

IDOB sorry about your crap weekend hope you're feeling better

I dont' remember anything else to comment on. But hope everyone is well!!!

lardybump · 16/02/2009 16:16

I think I am having a boy but only because the pg has been so different to the one I had with dd.... We have some names but havent agreed on a final one yet....

If this pg follows dd's then my waters will break at 4 tomorrow afternooon and baby will be born on Thursday at 10:35 !!!!

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 16/02/2009 16:47

Hurray for a good MW appt LBOT! really pleased its sinking in! Remember feeling that after the 20wk scan... Glad movements are stepping up too... I think its the best bit of pregnancy..

Its exciting to see if you are right about the boy LB! We've know the sex of the other babies so far!

kayzr · 16/02/2009 16:49

Hello,

Heard from Glask earlier. Her water have broken and she has had the steroids injection to mature baby's lungs. They are hoping to get her a scan some time today so they can check on baby.

Astarte, I hope you are in labour!!!

GYo, I really don't know why I thought DS1 was a boy. I just did really. Part of it was everyone told me that you don't get morning sickness with boys but obviously that isn't true. I suppose mother's intuition.

OP posts:
lastboxoftampons · 16/02/2009 16:51

LB LOL at your crystal-ball-like labour predictions!

I have a feeling I'm having a boy too.

GYO I actually think the movements are kind of weird Exciting, but also kind of uncomfortable - like I'm on a rollercoaster all day and my stomach keeps turning!

Diege · 16/02/2009 17:03

Hello! Just a quick pop in as half term chaos plus trying to get scripts finished (not the best combination!). Only 37 to go
Best of luck ASTARTE - very exciting!!! Great news of good appointment LBOX - nice that movement is feeling more obvious too. My fave part of pregnancy that I always missed when I'd had the baby.
Sounds like things might be starting for you too LB - fingers crossed
IDOB - are you feeling better now? That's what I'm like to with dh when I'm ill
Bit of a rubbish catch up, sure I've missed loads...

GYoIsReallyHavingABaby · 16/02/2009 17:05

Hello
Cant wait to see if our male intuition is right then!

Movements get a weirder as it gets bigger, sometimes when I lie on my back they make my whole body rock when it really goes for it!... makes me belly look like something from Alien
