Hello people!
Whatever, glad to hear you got hold of the consultant and she sounds very positive. Also good that you've got an early appt with the EPU. The birthday thing is hard to handle - Thea's birthday is 13 March and Bean's official due date is 30 March, but if I'm delivered at 38 weeks it will be very close.
Angel, thanks for the good wishes and the advice about fighting for an earlier date - I will! At least, I will prime DH and we will both do it. Am gearing up for tomorrow - I will come out with a definite week, if not a definite day! Sorry to hear about your MIL being a miserable cow again. Do you have plans to move, or is this just a wish?
Fan, it's horribly frustrating when that happens! Don't know if you recall DH getting performance anxiety at what I thought was the crucial moment the month I conceived - I was biting my tongue in RL and then venting on here angrily - but it worked out in the end. I hope you got it this month anyway. Remember, sperm can live for up to 5 days, so you might still be in with a chance.
Hi Moomins, FX and good luck!
Mel, lovely to hear from you whenever you feel up to joining us. I was back at work today too - it sucks! Really feel like I'm just marking time at the moment. I spent the first part of the morning working out my mat leave to make me feel better. How many weeks are you now?
August, that seems like a really long wait, grr! They should be offering you early reassurance scans in the circumstances. Maybe you could call the MW and beg ask for a scan at the EPU?
Is anyone else's DH struggling at the moment? Mine emailed today from work to say he felt very low, and he's asked his boss to refer him back to the work counselling service. He's also having nightmares about me, Bean or both of us dying. 
He's scared of history repeating itself, and I'm pinning all my hopes for his emotional wellbeing on Bean being born safely.
