Hope you're not coming down with anything Rose, it's awful when you can't take any medication for it.
Suze, hopefully he'll turn round for you. My little one has been lying sideways on for weeks now with her back towards my left side and her feet off to my right. Hope she turns herself around in time for labour.
Just came back from the midwife and baby is measuring ahead of what she should be so I have to go for a blood test for gestational diabetes. She couldn't take one today cos the courier had already gone for the day so I have to go back on Tuesday. She said not to worry as she's only 1cm ahead but I can't help but worry now. She's measured perfectly all the way through and now when I'm in the home stretch it feels like everything is starting to go wrong! On the plus side though the protein in my urine from my last visit has cleared up so at least I don't have pre-eclampsia or a water infection.
Just found my first stretch mark today as well so I'm not having a good day

Nicola I have a feeling that this baby is lying sideways too rather than fully back to back as I can't feel full limbs at the front like I did last time. Only time will tell though I suppose.
Don't worry about the measurements. Last time I was measuring 3 to 4cm ahead. I had to have the 2 hour glucose tolerance test to check for gestational diabetes too. Bump measurements can be so unreliable in determining baby's size especially if baby is lying sideways. I had growth scans last time too and at 37 weeks they estimated she was 8.5lb, she arrived a week later weighing 7lb 11 so it was way off. It's good that they are checking for GD just in case though. Please don't worry about stretch marks either. I was gutted when I got my first one and ended up with awful ones, even the midwife and consultant commented on them!! They have completely faded now so much so that hubby commented last week that I didn't have any this time, I only have the faded ones from last time that are hardly noticeable. Il post a pic of bump in the next couple of days to show you. I used bio oil religiously from my bfp last time and it made no difference, this time I have used derma mum from boots and I love it, not sure if that has made a difference xxx

Do you feel more movement to one side than the other? I get a lot of pressing on my right hip and against the right side of my rib cage. It's a weird feeling!
There was a student midwife in today when I went and she said measurements can depend massively on how baby is lying as she might just be sticking her bum out or something. Hope you're right, I don't want to end up with a massive baby
I suppose 1cm isn't too bad though, just have to wait and see what happens at the blood test and at my next appointment.
I'm more gutted about the stretch marks cos I've tried really hard to prevent them. I've gone through a full bottle of bio oil and a full tub and a half of cocoa butter and have applied it every day without fail. Plus the fact that I've gotten to 34 weeks without any, I really thought I'd avoided them. I think its cos she keeps sticking her bum out Ah well I suppose as long as she's healthy that's the main thing. I really can't wait to start getting back in shape though. I was overweight for years and had only been back at a size 10 for a year and a half before getting pregnant so it's quite depressing feeling so unfit and out of shape again, even if it is for a good reason.

I have a couple of new ones coming right in the middle of my tummy about a few inches above my belly button. I can feel my skin itching! My baby girl lies from one side to the other. Almost like she's tossing and turning in bed hahahahahaha. I should try and record another tummy movement video but now it looks more alien like as she's getting bigger !!!

I've read that they do go from side to side depending if you're standing or sitting...... something like that anyway. It looks like i've got an alien now too when i'm lying down and she moves about, even Mark looked shocked the other day lol, she pushes herself right out and you can have an extra two inches on parts of your bump and its so uncomfortable too!

I know how you feel Nicola, I was gutted when I started getting them last time, but you do really forget about them and they do fade so quickly.
I think baby is lying on my right side, I feel what I think are feet pushing against my far left side and just under my left ribs and I get a big soft lump just at the right of my belly button which I can only assume is his bum, can't think what else it could be. Head is definitely way down, I feel bangs on my cervix and feel hiccups really low too. Movements are totally different this time, don't think I ever had any movement above my belly button last time, so that is why I am doubting that he is completely back to back. Oh how good would it be to have a wee window to see what was going on!!

Fab bump Leanne!! It's def getting bigger! Soon we will be able to see our feet again!!
I will post a pic soon too, think I've got even bigger and Rose I know what you mean about bump feeling heavier, I sometime have a dragging feeling at bottom of bump if I stand too long.

Aw your bumps are great!
Hope everyone's had a great bank holiday weekend, I can't believe it's over with already and it's time to go back to work Still, on the plus side it means we're closer to our babies being here! I've got a 3 and a half day week this week as have to leave early tomorrow for blood tests and a breastfeeding class, then only 2 weeks left til maternity leave starts, yay! I still don't think I can quite comprehend that I'm going to have 6 months off work and my sole purpose from day to day is going to be to take care of a tiny human being, it's quite scary!

Aw Megan, I love your bump 
Hope you all had a good bank holiday weekend! I ate loads of chocolate anyway and totally regretted it on Sunday night, I was dying with heartburn and must have drank about half a bottle of gaviscon!!! Never again will I do that. Never mind, Nicola you are right it is so close now and we will be able to eat all the chocolate we want
Here is my 35 week bump photo, no idea how baby is lying to be making it this extremely odd shape!!! Hubby keeps calling me torpedo belly

Lol, think your little man is definitely sticking his bum out
Debbie I'm a bit scared too, excited at the same time though!
I've been to a breastfeeding class tonight and found it really fascinating. Did you know that if you sit next to someone that has an illness while you're breastfeeding and you breathe in some of their germs, your body will create the antibody to those germs and it'll be in your breast milk ready to be passed on to your baby within 20 mins of inhaling it? I find that really amazing for some reason.

Hope you had a good trip Debbie and you have managed to get through all your washing!
Ha ha Nicola, I think you are right with him sticking his bum out. It will be a photo to keep and show him when he is older! Glad you enjoyed your class. I know it's amazing what our bodies can do! That's what I studied in uni so I love all that kind of stuff. How did your blood tests go? How long do you need to wait for the results? xx
