Hi tamum, great to hear from you! I am hoping to see my consultant this week, and have also arranged to see the Prof of Fetal Medicine at the hospital where I work, so am hoping their advice will further reassure me. But yes, I am feeling much happier. All the information I have got has helped me feel much calmer and more relaxed - and the advice I got from you and Blu was particularly great, thanks so much once again.
Feeling my little girl kicking away is also wonderfully cheering. She may have little bent feet but she can still pack a punch!
I have started knitting a little kimono jacket out of the Debbie Bliss baby knits book (have you seen it - it's great, if just for the gorgeous baby photos - pregnancy porn!). It will of course be very impractical, but for a 'special outfit' I reckon it'll be good because it just wraps round - no fiddly buttons or need to pull over head. Sadly it's a real struggle to get baby wools in good colours - even John Lewis has got very little that I like. In the end went for a teal blue with olive green edging. There's also little matching trousers, but I'll not knit them until she's born and I find out whether she'll be having her legs in plaster casts.
Sorry, that was probably just TOO boring! I've just been watching The L Word on DVD and there's a very funny scene when the pregnant character's girlfriends sit her down for an 'intervention' - halting the progress of a destructive behaviour - because she has become such a complete and utter baby bore. I said to dp, "I'm not like that, am I?" and she said kindly, "Well, not always..."
