sweetheart
Good luck with your scan today, Hope all is well with beanie..

bonkerz my pg dreams are always very vivid too.... some quite upsetting.....its a MAD pg thing isnt it??
scully glad youre scan was good. its great to all be getting to the relaxing stage isnt it?!
DEF bump here...trousers from last weekend are now tighter already....
alot of stretchy achey pain going on too, so doppler again coming in handy to reassure me all is well with wriggly one and the pain is just me growing.

I'm starting to love this stage, my sickness is just first and last thing (still not nice but SO much better than before) and i feel GOOD in the middle of the day if tired quicker.
due to see midwife next week, so 'real proper' pg has really started for me

Yes, i'm not feeling too sick. But god I am sooo sick of feeling sooo tired all the time. I need to sleep in the day and it really pees me off as I want to do other stuff instead! I am feeling more and more tired rather than less as am nearing the magic 2nd trimester (haha)

hmph..feeling a bit bored and peeved today..

What time is SH's scan? I thought it was really early this morning...?

time for thread 4, anyone?

A thread 4 would be great for me - the newie!
Hi everyone, just got back from my 12 week scan (I thought it was an 11 week scan but apparently I'm exactly 12 weeks today. Baby is due 22 Dec.
This is 5 days after my dd turns 4.
My dd is Lottie and she has Down's syndrome so I am being very well looked after my everyone this time iykwim! Kid gloves come to mind a little bit but it's all good. I've having baby in Queen Charlottes hospital which is by Whire City (London). Oh and I'm 33 (34 in Aug).
So that's me.

I will try and catch up with everyone and who you all are and look forward to going through the next 6 months with you.

oMC thomcat, I have been checking for your pics all day! was worried! great news! good good off to start new one then

Think a 4th thread would be a positive step for us all.

My dreams are always about DH telling me he doesnt love me anymore or about catching him with other women! I think it all stems from when i was pregnant with ds 5 years ago because his dad chucked me and ds out when ds was 10 weeks old and we were homeless then i found out hed been sleeping with my best fried since ds had been born! Need to stop feeling insecure cos the dreams are horrid.

new thread here!

Hi there, I am a student at Birkbeck College (Uni of London) studying an MSc Human Development, and part of my course requires me to take part in Infant Observations. While this sounds daunting (and maybe uninteresting for some...) it is not as clinical as you may think! It simply means that one hour a week, for about 18 months (probably no more), a warm and open mother will allow me into her home to 'observe' her (or her husbands/other family members) interaction with the new born. I will literally be a fly on the wall, I will not judge, speak or talk to the baby or the mother. I shall not be making notes (this is the clinical part I am afriad people will think), in fact you are not even suppose to notice me. The hour that you will allow me to visit will depend wholly upon the mother's wishes, though hopefully an hour when the baby isnt sleeping... As a mother with a new infant, I expect that some people will be thinking that this is the last thing they will want- an intruder/ and outsider. This is the last thing I would want to feel like too. I would like the mothers to know that this is completely confidential. Names will be changed etc. And if teh mother is interested- at the end of my course (June 2008) I have to submit a paper based on my observations, the motehrs are entirely entitled to read them too. As this is a requirement for my course, I have taken the necessary police/Crimincal Records Bureau Checks, and come from a background in child (and adult) related volunteer work as my CV will testify. If there are any expecting mothers who may be interested to hear more about this, but not necessarily make a commitment to allowing me their time, please contact me on [email protected]. My name is Neda, and I would also like to note that I think it would be in both of our interests if I could meet the mother during the end of her pregnancy to see if we are both comfortable with each other and ask any other questions beforehand. This will take the pressure off both of us!

I am looking for mothers who are expecting to give birth in November or December, or even January, preferably in Central London. I am based in Kensington.

Thank you so much and I really apppreciate your taking the time to read this!
