Leanne I know that's what I keep thinking too, I barely remember to do my pelvic floor exercises most days I'm so scared of tearing though so it might be worth it if it stops that.

Megan its typical that the nice weather ends just before the weekend. I'm off sick today though so might get to sit in the garden for a bit of it.

Finally she was awake for her 4d scan. Actually she was a bit too awake and wouldn't keep still, hands in front of face, sucking feet etc, was great though. Just look at those great big chubby cheeks now! Just want to cuddle and munch her sooo much









Hope everyone is ok

Aw Rose what gorgeous pics!! So glad Isobelle was awake this time, what a wee cutie she is! Not long and you will be holding her Is he still head down? xxx

 

[moggi]

Awww thanks, yes she is still head down thankfully. I tried the orange juice this time and it had an amazing effect on her. She didn't stop wriggling for hours! Said to Mark, must remember not to give her too much orange juice when she's older as she'll be hyper lol xxx

 

[minidancer]

Aw good girl Isobelle!! Oh yes you will definitely need to remember that one, she might be jumping off the ceiling if you give her orange juice when she is older! I'm sure that will be her head down until she arrives now xxx

 

[moggi]

Fingers crossed yes xxx

 

[gypsy1981]

Aw Rose they are gorgeous pics! I can't believe she's got her foot in her mouth great news that she's head down too, hopefully she'll stay that way.

My baby has been mooning me today I felt her wriggling about and then felt something pushing out of my tummy and when I looked down there was a big lump sticking out which could only have been her bum. I put my hand on it and pressed and she wriggled it a little bit, it was so cute

When does everyone start their maternity leave then? I have 3 weeks left after this week and it can't come soon enough!

 

[minidancer]

My little man does that too Nicola, it's so funny isn't it! Ooh not long until your mat leave, then you can chill out and relax until baby arrives! Hope your last weeks go past quick xx

 

[moggi]

My maternity leave officially starts in two weeks but i've got two weeks of annual leave first so really i'm already on it. Go back on 1st April next year, could have gone back in sept but it seemed too soon to be leaving her. I can't believe she gets her feet in her mouth either, she plays with her toes too lol. Even managed to get her feet over her head!?! You tend to think of their head down one end and legs and feet folded up at the opposite end like the drawings in books, not true! I've been feeling something small and hard sticking out of the side of my bump, it must be her knee, i used to think it was an elbow but now i've seen her legs up like that i'm thinking knee Forgot to say yesterday, saw her girlie bits in 4d for the first time, absolutely no doubting it now, felt a bit embaressed for her to be honest having her bits flashed around lol poor baby girl XxX

Hi ladies, how are you all?

Aw bless Isobelle! At least you definitely know without a doubt she is a girl though! I know I find it so hard to try and imagine how baby is lying. I feel lumps around my belly button but can't think what it would be. With my little girl it was so obvious as all her limbs were right at my belly button.

I am 34 weeks today!! Only 6 to go or 4 if this one comes early like my little girl!! Saying 4 weeks is really scary though!! Just waiting for midwife to arrive for my appointment, think its bloods again today-booooo!!!

 

[minidancer]

Had my app this afternoon, I was right was bloods today to check iron levels. Bump is measuring 34 weeks but this is the upper limit on my growth chart so looks like I am in for a high 8/9 pounder! Midwife I had today was the only one I don't really like, she always seems a bit clueless and vague when you ask questions. I asked what way baby was lying and was he the right way or back to back. She said the dip at my belly button when I lie down suggests he is back to back but she couldn't tell by feeling!! She said they only worry about baby being head down and don't worry about back to back as they normally turn during labour. Doesn't really make me feel better as my little girl never turned. She kept saying since I have had one baby then this one would be more likely to turn during labour but I just don't see how. Feeling a bit upset as all I want is to experience a normal labour without any complications due to position!! I have been so conscious of my posture to try and avoid this and it's made no bloody difference!!

Sorry for the rant, just a bit upset, stupid hormones!!!

 

[moggi]

That midwife sounds like most of the clueless 'health professionals' I come into contact with. They don't inspire you with confidence do they? Hopefully he will turn but it doesn't help to aleviate your concerns. I've noticed that anything important to us is just dismissed by them. Gets me angry too XxX

 

[minidancer]

She is the only one of the midwives I see that is like that. She is really nice and not as opinionated and forceful as some of the others but she never seems to answer any questions properly. She just says it will all be fine since this is my second. I find it amazing that health professions can have such differing views and advice on things even within the same department! Now the health visitors are another story!! Once this baby is here I will be on ranting about how hopeless they are

I feel much better today about it all, I think there is no point in worrying about it as I have no idea what will happen once I am in labour!

How you are all good! xxxx

 

[moggi]

I'm not too bad thanks, saw my godson yesterday who appeared to have a cough, now i've got a sore throat headache and feeling pretty grotty. Hopefully i'll shake it off XxX
