Due in November 07?!

I see my MW in just over 2 weeks so if I havent heard by then I will assume good new but will ask her about the results.

babyg sounds abit like what my ex (from 7-8yrs ago) had.Only he had it MUCH MUCH worse...Didnt like to eat in front of people cos he thought they'd be looking at him, etc....so couldnt even go to restaurants or take away outlets with him...if/when he had a panick attack he'd go all hot n stuff & have to lie down...didnt really like going to movies either for some reason... 

Porcelina lol unless otherwise (which i doubt) they expect males/guys to wear togs or wear something APPROPIATE when in those warm/hot water spa baths and showers...They made that quite clear to us all when we went on our hospital tour of the maternity ward a few weeks ago....

We bought a musical mobile today, $60, 2nd hand one off someone from  that sellmefree.co.nz website....fits onto our cot and bassinette nicely . It plays 3 tunes. so that has saved us some money on buying a brand new one costing $99 from places like farmers and baby city etc....2morro we are getting our pram/stroller/pushchair too from a guy at my partners work, his wife is gonna call over there 2morro nite sometime with it and il pick it up......We're just about there in the way of baby items......Just nappies n blankets 2 get etc...

I was just teasing him about being naked So he was teasing me back saying why should he get in there too

I really miss having a bath, our old cold damp crappy house had a really deep one but I'd have warm and dry over a bath any day.

I was thinking about water births, not entirely sure how they work as all the births I've assisted have been the half lying down on your back thing (which is so unnatural anyway!). I think maybe we'll be doing some sort of birth plan next week hopefully. Mine will go something like don't ask me if I want pain relief - I'll ask, no episiotomy, no pethidine, let me move around all over the place and put the baby on my husband if for some reason I can't hold the baby (in a nutshell).

I had a dream with my baby in it last night. I'd just had it and was back home except it looked a few months old to me! Knew the sex, name, little face smiling up at me and even a fairly short labour I am so sure baby didn't want me to wait until birth to meet it! I did ask for a dream to learn from since my clairvoyancy has been on the fritz a bit in pregnancy and there we are! The bad thing in the dream was I couldn't remember ANY labour at all, not even it starting at home and that was really distressing, not sure what that means, warning me off drugs or the fact that it'll be quick, who knows! Was pretty exciting for a dream though

Water sounds like a great idea. I guess it is time to think about the actual birth!

Babyg, it sounds to me like your symptoms are worth mentioning to your mw?

I had my scan today, and all was well. She (yes confirmed she is still a girl) has moved so her head is down as it should be (to the left of my pelvis) and then her back curls up my right side, with arms and legs pointing into the middle. Sweet, it is good to know I shouldn't need to see a specialist etc. And it was great to see her again! The scan guy spent ages showing us her cute wee face!! She was opening and closing her mouth

I can start to see know why all parents think their kids a the most gorgeous things around - I am convinced she is a beauty - even on the grainy old scan!

Yeah I admit my 20 weeks scan wasn't too pretty - all those bones!

I'm not sure that I like the 4D scans - some pics are pretty cool, but others are a bit freaky looking!

I laughed to myself in the middle of the night last night. Every time I wake up just because I just wake up or I need to pee it's 3 hours apart. No baby yet but my body is going you'll have to feed baby 3 hourly so I'm getting you up already! Only I won't be able to get away with just being up for 10 mins!

Am hoping to train hubby to fetch the baby and change the baby and I'll do the feeding bit in the night

It's the universe preparing us mentally and physically I reckon Let's hope our babies sleep for a good 3 hours at a time!!

Well this week I have decided to give up on the seatbelt in my car. I have been hanging onto a med cert that my midwife wrote out ages ago to get me out of wearing it and hopefully I won't get pulled over and have to produce it. The Legacy seatbelts are fine but my girlracer car has racing seats (which are a pain in the ass to get in and out of) which make the seatbelt shorter. I can get it on but it's not comfy and I can't be bothered wrestling with it

I have had a sore tummy all night and all morning I think something I ate has produced a lot of gas, I don't think it's the crampy feelings you get before labour thank goodness.

Looking forward to the nice weekend weather - just have to get through a probably extremely boring health and safety training session 11:30-1:30 which is kinda waste of time when I leave in 2 weeks anyway!

Hi everyone,

hope you all having good day. Just out of curiousity is anyone planning on having homebirth? or water birth?
Anyone else got aching ribs? not much fun trying to sleep.but on the plus side its my last day of work, very exciting. would work longer but am exhausted and very anaemic and my other two terrors run me ragged
looking forward to cleaning (that really sounds odd) and getting bubs room ready.
