Hi everyone and welcome Chloe. You have the same due date as me, although I'd imagine yours will probably come sooner with there being 2 in there! Can't get over how neat your bump is considering you're having 2!
Glad you're feeling better Megan and didn't have to go to hospital. Hopefully everything will start going a bit smoother for you now. Rose - sorry to hear you've been having cramps again, maybe it's from over exertion? These babies really are a worry aren't they? I'll be glad when we've all had them and they're all healthy and safe!
We had a bit of an up and down yesterday. We finally finished baby's nursery off in the morning and then had a visit to the midwife where Steven got to hear her heartbeat for the first time which was quite emotional but then we picked our bunny up from the vets (he'd been getting neutered) and when we got him home he started pouring with blood and when we looked his wound had ripped open as his insides were hanging out
we had to rush him back to the emergency vet as the normal one had closed by this time and they kept him til 5pm today to sort him out and monitor him. I was a nervous wreck last night and barely got any sleep, my poor bunny. Pregnancy hormones and ill pets are not a good combination!

Hey, is anyone else dealing with RLS? My feet and legs are making me insane. I have to go put me feet in the bathtub about ten times a day under really hot water to relieve them , which only lasts for a short time. And falling asleep is out of the question!
Oh and a quick question for those of you that already have babies - have any of you ever given birth in a birthing centre? My midwife told me yesterday that there's a new one at my local hospital and as I'm now low risk (she's no longer breech, yay!) I can give birth there if I like. I've looked on the website and it looks pretty lush but I'm slightly concerned about not having a doctor on hand if something were to go wrong.

I didnt know being breech at this stage made you a higher risk? Now really fed up considering she was head down from at least 22+6. Just hoping she turns again, can't take anymore shit with this pregnancy. Sorry i know i shouldn't complain but i've really had enough. Yes Brandy restless legs are horrible aren't they i used to get them occasionally before, but get them everyday now, such joy! Hope your bunny is ok Nicola

Hope your bunny is ok Nicola Apparently there's still plenty of time for them to turn again at this stage but they like them to be head down by 34 weeks so I need her to stay where she is for the next 5 weeks otherwise the birthing centre won't be an option. I wouldn't worry too much, I'm sure Isobelle will turn her butt around by then 
bunny seems to be ok thanks, it's a nightmare trying to stop him from chewing at the wound though, I get the feeling I won't be getting much sleep tonight.
Sorry Brandy I didn't see your post. I've not heard or restless leg, is that like leg spasms or something?

Go for it, forget the Dr thing, I know it's a worry, but I had a home birth last time and I was much more closely monitored than I would of been in hospital as obviously I was the only patient!
I would imagine a birthing centre to be similar?

Glad everything is fine Rose and fab bump, getting much bigger and rounder 
Maybe it was just doing to much that brought on the cramping, I know when I have been running about all day I feel really sore at night. Hope you start feeling better soon and hopefully these last few weeks pass quick
Thanks Leanne Glad your decorating is nearly done, you will be glad to get it finished and then you can relax. Hope all goes well with GTT and midwife next week, let us know how you get on
So glad you are feeling better Megan, sounds like you have had an awful time hun
Aw Nicola so sorry to hear about your poor wee bunny, you must have got such a fright! I hope everything heals quick and he is back to normal soon. Excellent you have your nursery finished, saw your pics on FB and it is stunning, I love your furniture
My midwife care is through a midwife led birthing centre and it is lovely. The midwives are all lovely too and they treat it in a much more informal way, such as not wearing uniforms etc. They want the whole experience to be less of a medical procedure. Is the hospital quite close to the birthing unit? If it is I would say go for it, although if you are overly worried at all it might not be the best as it is just an additional worry that you don't need. Unfortunately the closest hospital to my birthing unit is over 100 miles away and a 2 hour drive. I had to go to the hospital with my little girl as she was back to back. If it came to it andmy labour was going quick I would have no problems staying at the birthing centre as it is so close, but I think I will probably go to the hospital this time again as my last birth wasn't the most straight forward. Maybe speak to the midwife and she can give you advice and answer any questions Sorry that turned into a bit of a novel 
I hope all these breech babies we have on the thread decide to turn
Brandy I hope your restless legs calm down soon
Debbie I still like Darcey, but I love Arya, it is a beautiful name

Thanks for the advice, the birthing centre is next door to the hospital so wouldn't be too far to go if something did go wrong. I'm just a bit unsure what to expect and apparently you can't have an epidural in the birthing centre and as its my first baby I'm not sure how bad to expect the pain to be. It does look a lovely place though, there's a virtual tour on the website and 5 of the rooms have birthing pools, all have ensuite facilities, tv and DVD players and there's a communal patient lounge and kitchen. Think I'll have a chat to the midwife at my next appointment and see what she says. Hope your labour is a bit more straight forward this time, I've heard it's supposed to be pretty painful when they're back to back.
Bunny seems to be ok now thank god. He's home and has managed to eat and poo - sorry tmi but they were worried the anaesthetic had affected his bowels so it's a relief to see him doing normal things. He still looks really pitiful but we've been spoiling him
Thanks glad you like the nursery. I really can't stop popping in when I walk past to look at it! We still have a few bits to do like putting shelves up etc but the main stuff is finally done.
Debbie I like Lyla but agree that Arya is a lovely name. Steven wanted that as a middle name as he heard it on Game of Thrones and liked it but I don't think it goes with Caitlin.

Nicola the birthing centre sounds lovely, if I had the chance to use that I definitely would. You will cope fine with the pain and maybe knowing there isn't an epidural readily available it will make it easierif you know what I mean. Plus if it does come to the stage that you arent coping well and need more pain relief I am sure you would always have the option to go to the hospital. Another advantage would be they are much less likely to and Steven home there rather than the hospital. The midwife will be able to give you al the advice you need to make a decision. Glad your bunny I getting better too
I'm sure your test will go fine Leanne and don't worry about the 3 hour one, I had it last time and it was fine, jut make sure you bring food with you for when it is finished as you will be starving xx

Wow it's thread is moving fast now, everyone seems happy :0))
Thanks for the names opinions, Darcey is by far coming out as the most popular choice and dh is in love with Arya so I reckon they are the top two x
I have my midwife appt on Thurs and 4d scan on Sat so hopefully less of a boring week for me this week pregnancy wise, although not complaining, I guess boring is good, we don't need any surprises at this stage of the game!
