PG after MC: Keeping the Posifrickingtivity going into 2014!!

[Chocolateteabag]

Oops I managed to finish the last thread - so here we go!

Janie - fingers crossed

Sarah it sounds very like the ultrasound caused this. Hormones and increased blood flow can make you a little fragile up there. I think off White is quite normal.
Pumpkin that sounds promising. Good luck.

Out of interest, nosiness has anyone heard from Santa? I'm fairly certain that it has been a few days....

Ohh hopefully Santa is busy getting us a new thread baby
Pumpkin - yay for 40 weeks! I'm 37 today and may lose the plot if baby is still hanging in there by 40 weeks, definitely ready for this to be done now. Has anyone had any luck with acupressure to induce labour in prev pregnancies?

Anyone else obsessed with the stats list? I'm fascinated to watch myself climbing higher and higher. It feels like such an achievement. After Santa, Pumpkin and Christine deliver in the next week or three, that makes me 7th or 8th?
And Ryvita may well be early! I'm sooooo excited!

Happy birthday penguin for yesterday, hope you had a lovely day.

Hope everyone doing well and good luck to the ladies about to pop.

penguin when is your 20 week scan? Mine is on Tuesday ..... scan doom is definitely looming for me xxx

saggy its so exciting, at the time it felt we were on the TTC thread for ages, but now it seems to be moving along so quickly xxx

Sadly no- still blooming waiting

Another attempt at a sweep on Monday and then will be in for an induction on wed or thurs. Really don't think it'll happen before then though. Harrumph. I really wanted to try a water birth and although the consultant unit has one, I'm the sort of person who is easily bullied persuaded by others so I'm sure I will end up strapped firmly to a bed with continuous monitoring.

So for future reference eye tests are not covered by the maternity prescription exemption unfortunately. However the optician did give me a good tip about where to get prams from so that could save me some money!

emki my scan was going to be Wednesday but they moved it back to the following Monday, boo. Seems ages away so scan doom hasn't kicked in for me yet, but I'm sure it will build! Good luck for Tuesday, will be thinking of you

AHEM! You can't have a cheap pram tip and not share it!!

Pram world in Wigan. Probably only good for those of us in the north west though!

Oh Santa I really had my hopes up for you! Even if you reach having to go for induction, you might get lucky... They may be able to just break your waters and not put you on the juice so you could still get your water birth? Or, if you can have a word with baby Santa, go in for induction, get told they're too busy and then have your waters break all over their floor.. Worked for a friend of mine
I can't wait for my turn any more! PGP is killing me, hormones are making me seriously angry all the time. So far I'm going with acupressure, taught by YouTube, and sex... One of them has to work soon!!

happy belated birthday penguin -a fellow Lancashire lass! a few of my friends have got their pushchairs there.

oh no Santa really hoped you would have popped. Remember even if you are continuously monitored you can move around within reason, I was hooked up last time but found contractions so much easier leaning over the bed than lying on my back.

saggy it's exciting isn't it! although I do feel like the next 8-9 weeks might go on forever. Looking forward to finishing work in 2 weeks and getting DD back into nursery, trying to wear her out in the holidays has been hard work. I hurt my lower back trying yoga to shift the baby head down and now I can't bend over... and the baby is still head up.

santa no chance of me jumping next in line , she has me waiting well and truly and going on my last births, i'm expecting her to go well overdue!
Due tomorrow and i just know these braxton things (i call them braxton pickles) will keep me guessing! Every night between 9pm & 11 i think labour is started and then i wake up and zilch!!

Hope tonight or tomorrow is your lucky day x

Has anyone noticed at 29 weeks that movements turn into a rocking motion? I fell asleep earlier and awoke as it felt like the sofa was being rocked by someone then I realised it was the baby!!! It was really strong and scary!

I wish Fod! I have feet tap dancing just below my ribs and elbows/hands somewhere just above my left hip!
It's pretty violent at times. The nicest I get is a knee or elbow. DD says it feels like someone applying deodorant under my skin!

Oh no saggy I hope there isn't anything wrong with her ;(

Who? Yours or mine? If it's mine we already know the answer to that!
If it's yours, I shouldn't worry. They get up to all sorts of shenanigans in there! We think up a new extreme sport for Ryvita every day. It started with Parkour? went through kayaking and Mountaineering and today we have ice skating!

Hahaa saggy yes mine, think we will all settle once out little ones are finally here, how long do you have left now?

30 weeks here. Not long now.

Ooooo it's getting closer saggy you excited???

Swinging between excitement and exhaustion!

I know that feeling saggy I'm getting soooo big and uncomfortable that I just want her here now

2.15 am and Im wide awake!
I have my first headcold in about 5 years. My head is full, my throat is sore and I cant stop coughing. leaking wee
I just want to go to bed!

Saggy I was awake half the night too. Then this morning BabyDaae tried to give me a baby heart attack. Was awake for about 45 min without a single movement... Now wiggling but am paranoid it's not as much as usual so trying to really pay attention. How 'reduced' does movement have to be before you worry?

I think that anything that worried you deserves checking out.

I'd echo that christine worth a check to set your mind at rest.

sorry to hijack but have been meaning to ask... I often don't feel baby for hours at a time, usually it's active first thing, in afternoon, then in evening but only ever for about half an hour to an hour each time. Is this too little? should it be moving more? got midwife on Fri but have been worrying about it.
