Anyone due Dec 07??

First day back at college for me, now on to the next round of assignments 5 weeks left and counting!

I was supposed to have a scan on Saturday re the hole in the heart, but my f'in m/w didn't write the right thing on the form. We got there for an 8am appt, waited 1/2 hr because of staffing issues, only to be told that the heart specialist didn't work weekends and that my m/w should have told me that and wrote specific details on the form. Yet another thing she did wrong. Bring on the specialist I say! Anyway, upshot is I have the scan at 2pm (although DH can't make it so mum's standing in ), will update you all once I know what's going on. Oh, and the scan's free because they felt sorry for us!

Good Luck, Emz. Let us know how you go.....your MW does sound terrible...I can't believe that you are being so patient with her!

I know what you mean about the list Sally, DH has one of them and its still rather long. Got my Dad round to paint our bathroom as couldn't be bothered waiting for DH. He is there today finishing it..

Hi all, Yes it has been super quiet on here. I have been away all weekend at the beach and the weather was lovely!!! I still had a cry though as I felt like a huge beached whale on the beach while my friends all had there little toned bodies in skimpy bikinis. Made the little self esteem I have disappear unfortunatley. Still, it was nice to get away (we do go just about every weekend though!). DP had his last rugby game on Sat. Thank God!!! I am so sick of it. Every weekend for the past 8 months and not to mention the 3+ days of training every week was rugby. So glad he has decided to retire.

You all sound like you are getting organised, well done
I am probably the most un-organised on here now as I have been super busy with assignments for uni. And as for DP, as usual he does not much. Our lawn is tiny but hardly gets mowed, I do 99% of the cleaning and cooking while he likes to make mess or lie on the couch! grrr. I must admit sometimes he is good, but mostly useless. I still love him though as he is a lovely person.

Emz, your MW sounds very annoying. Glad you will be seeing the specialist soon and can start to enjoy it all.

That's great news emz, I've been wondering how it was going. You must be so relieved. I think from now on in they do a lot of fattening up in there

Has anyone else been feeling hiccups? I have just in the past few days. I take it this is perfectly normal??

Woohoo I'm 30 weeks today For some reason I feel like it's a bit of a mini milestone...

Who else has been feeling BH contractions? I don't think I have yet.

Yeah, that big red clock is weird aye? It's just massive, I'm kind of worried that anyone that is THAT blind that they can't see a small clock shouldn't be delivering my baby! Oh, how the mind boggles...

I had BH about 3 weeks ago from memory, but nothing since that. I also find seeing the baby move really creepy, especially the other night when DH had his hand on my belly and it kind of looked like the baby tried to push him away. They're really uncomfortable most of the time, I sort of notice myself getting a shock every time they happen. Should probably get used to it though!

I love feeling the kicks and movements but think that the seeing it bit looks like a scene out of alien. My Dh is kinda like yours, Sally. He will put his hand on my tummy every now and then but is def not obessed with it! Although he is super excited about meeting the baby but not the whole pregnancy thing...although he has had it easy as my pregnancy has been a breeze!

Your bump is looking great Sally! I will have to take one next week when I am 30 weeks as it is a bit of a milestone.

I have been having BH quite regularly now but baby has been very quiet for the past few days. Should I be worried or would she just be having a growth spurt?

Topsy, Mine has stopped kicking and wriggling as much. I asked my MW last week about it and she said that there is less room so movements do decreases but should never stop. MW said that you should be feeling at least 10 movements a day, if not then to ring her.

Hope that helps.

Sally, Mine is finally head down also, after spending the whole pregnancy lying transverse. I was a little gutted that baby has moved so early as it was so much more ocmfortable transverse than head down.
