***Due in February 2008***

hope all is ok Kawwww!! Will pop back for an update later

Tiff I also had MW this morning and bubs is lying the same way as yours lol.  Head down and back to the right, legs and feet to the left.  His head isnt down in the pelvis yet but Im just glad he is head down instead of sideways

Lucky how cool you get to see bubs again!  Hopefully your wee one is also in a nice position

 

lucky mine is always written in my pink book..is yours? (the position..) thats good about your mw Tiff.. my baby in same place atm.. must remember to talk to her about placenta etc at next appointment.. lucky at our scan she said she wouldnt say unless we wanted to hear.. wish mine had of just popped it out:) but in the end we found out anyway!

right... so I went to meet mw at CWS... she walks in with an armful of swabs and stuff (lucky me) i have to have yearly smear tests but the swabs hurt more while you are pregnant for some reason? oh well she's going to be seeing that area a lot more later!:) so she did about 4 and said she can see (sorry if TMI) discharge but that's normal)

then she put me and bubs on a monitor to monitor contractions(she tested to see if amniotic waters had broken and thankfully not and cervix still closed) she said sometimes they can stop prem labour so she wanted me in just to check(which is good as i wanted to know as well! and as i had ureaplasmic cells I am at risk for prem labour.. so she gave me more antibiotics:( )

anyway baby doing totally fine and had several uterine contractions (Braxton Hicks) while i was there..she thinks yesterday was one long Braxton hicks(didnt know they can last for ages) ....apparently some people dont get any but I'm just lucky i suppose!:)

so in short..its not amniotic fluid..bubs is fine..cervix still closed, having swabs sucks:( blood test got done too..shes going to ring if any problems..which I'm glad she is checking everything just to make sure:)..and bubs and i got monitored for about 30 mins as well so got to here his heartbeat the whole time (130-150) she said everything is fine atm..but not to hesitate to cal her if i have any worries or start to feel sick or anything.. ! im off to have antibiotics..stupid $%^&*^^ things have to have four times a day with food:( !!! oh adn Tiff that dizzy spell i had the other day highly likely because i have an inner ear problem.....

and i asked about whether my baby would have any problems with immunisations as when i was a teacher i got immunised against hep b and a and turns out only got immune to A...8% of the population just dont get immune..i wonder if same will happen to Ethan? anyone know..i must ask doc about it..

just lurking - good to hear things are all OK kawww, sounds like you have a fabulous mw!

I noticed you are going to call your girl Lilia mummy-dee...how is that pronounced...I know people who have a Lilla.. but i'd never seen a similar name until now:) ?

cool again i just assuumed they fill them all in the same:) lol..I'm going to lie down.been a long day!

Hey kawww glad everything is fine. Lucky we had a scan at 35 weeks and they couldn't tell what sex he was but at the 36 one they could as he was pointing his bits at them for that one. But neither time could I tell, they also asked me if I knew first. I think they are careful to make sure they don't slip up and tell you if you don't want to know.

Kawwww - we pronouce it as 'lily-a'. My mums name is Riria which she never got called at its difficult to pronounce (it's Maori) she was always called Edna . I love the name Lily and was looking in a baby book and came across Lilia. I thought it is a nice way to acknowledge mum as well as get a name I love

tiff yeah mine has only written it the last two but commented before then.. i didnt notice the braxton hicks except yesterday but i could tell when she had monitor on as it made a funny noise..bit scary:) ! i thought baby doesnt go into pelvis till like 36 weeks?

lucky- yeah it's good you trust her.. im not implying theres anything wrong if she hasnt written it:)! position doesnt matter much at the moment anyway:)

mummy that is nice:) names with meaning are cool..i just wanted to ask how it was pronounced..i hate getting peoples names wrong especially spelling(after lifetime of people doing it to me.even people who know me ! pity about your mum's name..i hate it when people have different names just because others cant pronounce it..like an Asian girl at my school renamed herself Sarah because people couldn't pronounce her name:( !

we liked Lily as well but Lily with out last name sounds weird..if he comes out a girl he will still be Georgia:)

i can tell now she pointed it out by where the kicks are..but its hard as they dont lie straight up and down so you could be getting kicked on the side and bubs be in several different positions!

Everyone says that about boys names..i found it easier but DH found it hard..probably because I really wanted a boy and he wanted a girl:)

i find myself still stressing about Ethan getting here healthy..with the infection etc and the group B I worry about waters breaking early and all that sorta stuff.. man cant wait till h's actually here and I can worry about other stuff:) guess on the plus side at least i know about the strep b most people wouldnt know until 37 weeks..

i had some irritation 'down there' and so she tested me with swabs for infection...found no infection but ureaplasmic cells or something which she said arent sexually related and i think are normally in urinary tract of healthy people..but during pregnancy can cause premature labour..so i had two weeks of antibiotics....but shes given me more just in case as i guess better to have them just in case than not have them and go into premature labour but took more swabs to check

the annoying thing is strep b can come and go..you might have it at 35 weeks but not at birth but generally if you test positive ever during the pregnancy they like to treat you anyway just in case ..its not harmful to bubs until cmoing down birth canal or if waters break ..
