Nice pic Megan She is petit isn't she, so cute. To be honest Ellie is smaller than me still and has (I would have thought) reached adult height by now, whilst Emma is taller than me. Small or large, as long as they're healthy thats all that matters isn't it? xxx

Aw Megan lovely pic!

OMG just watched OBEM, that guy was a total selfish nobhead!! If I had seen him when I wa in having my baby I would have been crapping myself!! So glad the other one had her baby before the dad went away again so lovely!! xx

I know he was a right numpty wasn't he? lol. I'm surprised he wasn't asked to leave the unit, acting like that! I'm glad the Army one got to see her before he went away too xxx

 

[minidancer]

Yeah def agree as long as they are happy and healthy that is the main thing!!

The midwives must have the patience of a saint dealing with things like that, I know he must have been worried but don't new to be so aggressive. How will he cope when baby is crying or up all night!!

Classic OBEM stuff!

I cried for the army guy at the end. Hormones!

The other guy was a complete prick, obviously likes it all to be about him.

Yep I named him Mr Me Me!!!!!!!

Debbie I cried too, I always cry watching it! Didn't like watching the forceps delivery tho, that's what I had last time, don't really want reminded of it ha ha!!

Mr me me is a perfect name for him Megan.

 

[meganOUFC]

Ouch! That must have been scary!

 

[minidancer]

It wasn't bad at the time because I had been taken to theatre and given a spinal block as they were trying to turn LO with forceps because she was back to back. They were only giving it one go and if it don't work it was a section. The recovery afterwards was the worst part of the whole thing!! Hoping to avoid forceps this time even seeing them on that program gave me flashbacks of the recovery pain!!

Oh I remember the screamer last series!! Was glad I had already had LO, I'd have been terrified seeing that before. Was funny after tho her saying she didn't feel much pain and would do it all again!!

 

[meganOUFC]

I never saw any of the last series. maybe I should catch up!

 

[minidancer]

Hey girls, how's everyone doing?

I'm after a little bit of advice. Baby has been very active all day every day for the last week or two but today hasn't moved at all so far. I know that people say you shouldn't be too concerned about movement before 28 weeks but I can't help worrying as she's gone from kicking me all the time to nothing at all. Should I be concerned or is it normal at this stage?

I know most of you have had babies before so thought you might be able to put my mind at rest a bit

 

[minidancer]

Baby is still really small so can hide easily and if she is facing your back she may be kicking and moving all the time and you wouldn't feel it. I def have quiet days too where I feel hardly any movement and it was the same last pregnancy. Maybe try cold orange juice and something sugary and lie down to see of that makes a difference. If you are still worried it might be worth ringing your midwife just to put your mind at ease

 

[gypsy1981]

I've tried orange juice and coke but can't lie down til about 5:30 as I'm at work I'll see if she gets any more active once I get home - hopefully she will! Just wanted to know that it was normal really, I'm sure she's fine but it's just weird not feeling her for a while as I'm getting so used to feeling her all day every day. I know she was definitely fine last night as she was kicking me in the hip at about midnight and stopping me from getting any sleep

When are you supposed to start counting kicks? Is it from 25 weeks or 28 weeks?

 

[minidancer]

I am sure everything is ok hun. I think you start around 28 weeks, however I think all babys are different so I didn't really count kicks last time. I was just aware of when she would be active and it was usually the same most days, so that is what I looked out for rather than actually counting movements. Plus I found it confusing of how to count movement when she would be squirming and wriggling constantly for ages You will know what is normal for your baby as she gets bigger and movements much stronger
