Yesterday I went in to the antenatal ward for monitoring of babys heartbeat. On the way I said to my oh that I felt a bit weird, just heavy and more uncomfortable. The trace was all fine and we're all set for the induction on Monday. However the midwife pointed out that i'd been having...

Good morning, hope everyone has had a nice weekend. I spent the day on the antenatal ward yesterday. I've been a bit itchy for a couple of weeks, which I put down to the heat to be honest. It had got worse over the weekend though so we thought I should just phone for advice. I had a load of...

I had a brilliant day yesterday! I had to see my new consultant yesterday to have all new bloods taken as i've moved to a new area, and a scan to check baby's position as the midwife was sure he was still breech on Monday. Well, it turns out that he has at last turned! Talk about leaving it...

I had quite a surprise today. I had a check up with my midwife just to see what was happening with baby and whether he'd turned. I was really hopeful that he was on his way to head down as i'm sure I felt hiccups to the side of my bump yesterday. Well, he's still well and truly head up and...

This is probably going to make me sound quite mad, but i'm badly craving soap! Palmolive soap specifically! Every time I use it I just have to keep sniffing it and the urge to bite into it is huge. The only think that stops me is knowing that it won't taste like it smells! I was in the bath a...

Good morning ladies. I feel like I need to vent a bit, things are getting on top of me today. Today my oh has gone away on a stag weekend. This has raised massive trust issues for me and i'm doubting whether I want to be in a relationship with him any more. Almost a year ago I caught him with...

I'm having a horrible day today. My midwife came to visit me at home earlier. I've been feeling breathless for weeks now. My iron levels are fine, they've just put it down to baby crushing up everything inside. At my antenatal appt last Monday my bp had gone from 110 / 70 to 120 / 75. Then I...

Hi ladies :) This may sound like a strange question but does anyone know where I can buy nipple spray, the cooling kind for sore nipples? I used it when I was feeding my daughter as I found my nipples were just too sore and sensitive to rub ointment in. I'm getting things ready for this time...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering at what stage your babies went head down? My little chap has been head down since 22 weeks. Last week I was laying down on the sofa and felt the most enormous movements, like he was spinning round. All evening his kicks were at the sides, I'm sure he'd gone...

Hello everyone! :wave: I can't quite believe i've made it into tri 3! It only seems like a week ago I was in tri 1! Looking forward to chatting to you all and sharing in your happy birth stories! :yay:

Well, I missed my v-day, and my 99 days to go day, so I guess it's quite expected for me to forget i'm now in tri 3!! :) See you all over there very soon! xx

I was just wondering if anyone else has been asked to take part in these studies? At my 12 week scan I was asked if I would take part as I had loop treatment on my cervix a few years back. They're doing a nationwide study into whether loop treatment can cause pre-term labour. They take a...

Tomorrow is my 20 week scan. I want to be excited, and I am, but i'm also petrified! :( I was really silly and Googled what they look for and the problems they could potentially find. Now I can't stop worrying about my little one. Also it's been forecast to snow overnight - Aaaaghhh!! Where...

Bit of a pointless thread really, I just wanted to share everything that's happening! I think my sickness has finally gone. I've felt hungry for a week now and have managed to eat breakfast before work. This weekend I think i've made up for lost time with the amount i've eaten! Baby is...

In one day i've been told that I look small for my dates and that I look big for my dates; that I look wonderful and blooming and that I look very pale and do I need to come and sit down!!! Isn't it bizarre how others' perceive you!! I had my 16 week appt with my midwife today. Little one...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering how you manage people who think it's ok to touch your bump uninvited? I personally really dislike it. I'm quite protective about my little bump and don't like having my middle touched anyway! I'm going to a New Years Eve party and one of the girls going is...

Hello everyone! I can't believe i've actually made it to tri 2! It's been a very scary 3 months but i'm looking forward now to not feeling like death and getting that healthy pregnancy glow (which seems like a myth at the moment!!) Looking forward to getting to know everyone here :)

.. but i've made it to 13 weeks! I was put forward a few days at my scan so baby is due on June 23rd now. I'd just like to say thank you soooooo much to everyone in tri 1 for listening to me going on about all my worries and for always offering me reassurance. I look forward to seeing you...

Here's baby, finally assuming a normal position!!

I've had my scan and it was brilliant! It took a little while to get the measurements because he kept standing on his head with his legs crossed! meditating maybe?! I'll post my piccies later when i've worked out how!!!
