Thanks to everyone on tens comments. Am definately going to give it a go. As has been said, might as well have as many options for pain relief available as possible!
So Day One at the Gilda Mat-Leave House..... so far have washed up, put washing on and and am squinting purposefully at the 
filthy fridge. Not sure if this is nesting or distraction. Obviously I'm not that desperate to clean since I've now logged on...
Louise good to have some answers, although there is simply nothing you could have done differently and nothing to indicate that there was a problem. I guess all you can do right now is look after your health, keep your head together as much as you can, and know that these feelings will get easier. Georgie will always be part of your family and is much loved - and by so many people - what a very special girl.
SamB good grief - you must be shattered! I'm really worried how I will manage with such little and broken sleep. Am used to a good 8 hours solid, and get really grumpy on less. Wowed that you manage with your other children too, I can imagine being really tired and just being at home doing basic life-support tasks, but I can't imagine being that tired and actually having to function like a responsible human being!
Loopsy hug for yesterday, hope it was ok. Thanks for all your answers on my many questions - am checking out the link for Tens hire. 
Tigerbear helloooo! at yorkiepud fest, nom nom, I am sure I would do the same if I had some in front of me!
Buffy sorry you are feeling so fed up, hope today is better. Am sure it's really tough playing the is this it or not waiting game. How has the puppy settled in by the way, not so little now I imagine?
Happy hope your crappy day got better.
Alba how's Project Iron going?
Lovely to hear that Cheepz has been so busy, all sounds very positive.
Jolls - how are things with you?
TFLS respect to another sleep deprived lady! 5 hours does sound a lot more do-able, but still must be a marathon after almost 2 months. Do you manage to get a nap in the day?
Redhead sorry no advice from novice me, but am sure that everything will be fine, from all the threads I've seen it doesn't sound like size scans are all that accurate. Hope you get to have a home birth if you want one.
Wondering how Diggingforvictory is?
Clareanna how did your Fame event go? Have to admit I love my legwarmers.
Viv will you find out if your heartbeat guesses are correct at your next scan? We didn't find out, but I kinda wish I knew. 
Magic8ballisfulloflegsandarms how're you doing lovely? I keep getting feet stuck out on my right hand side, and have been wondering what it would be like with double limbage. Very cute to think of them nestling together though.
Purplehib probably depends on your area whether the nhs will offer you an early scan or not. I didn't get one and paid for a private scan at 10 weeks. Hope your work trip goes ok.
Big hellos to everyone that I have missed. Which everyone a happy Monday.
ps Thread Moggies no more puking or exhibitionist peeing ya hear??
