I just had an ultrasound at 32 weeks exactly, baby is 4lbs 9oz. The dr. was concerned the baby was big when he measured me (later saying the high measurement it was due to my "yellow muscle" ) Anyway, he said 4lb 9 Oz was "perfecto" and in the 74% percentile which is perfectly normal. So I wouldn't worry your baby is too big.

Wow, I have missed out so much! I have so much to catch up on.

We are settling in ok. Still getting no where with the internet though. Work have been backwards on my maternity leave. I hadnt heard anything so I rang payroll to see what date they had me leaving and my response was that they didnt know I was going on maternity leave. I got it all sorted now but it was really stressful. Plus I couldnt get internet. We decided to go with Orange for phone and broadband and the phone got refused as my credit check had failed. So I was annoyed about that cos I didnt have a clue why. I have been credit checked up to my eyeballs since moving in. Even EON energy credit checked me. So I think its because I have been sorting all the utilities everything is in my name and OH is now going to start doing the rest in his name. Its all I can think. Anyway I'm now going to pay for my credit report cos I hate not knowing whats happened.

I read about the perineum massage convo. Im defo going to do this. I can't stand the thought of ripping. My sister said she couldnt use the toilet properly afterwards because of the sting.

Mummymadness, oh my gosh. How is oscar?

KNS, how is your partner and baby?

Has anyone started to drink Raspberry leaf tea? I started yesterday and it tastes bloody disgusting! I read that you can have 1 cup a day at 32 weeks............but I still read not till after 34 weeks.

I've not packed my hosp bag yet. I still want to get some more things. I'm going to treat myself and buy some new pjs. Plus I need the baby changing bag. The one we got with the buggy is smaller than my handbag!

Tomorrow I only have 7 weeks to go. EEK! x

Great to see you back Rach!!

I'm going to take the capsules as I hate the taste!! Not till Xmas tho as haven't bought any! I think it's supposed to make your uterus stronger so labour quicker but not any earlier.

 

[dd29]

I had those to cuz I got sick of the tea u can get them in hollend and barter hun must admit there easier than the tea. Hay i didn't know it made labour faster thats prob why my last labour was only 2 hours and 3 quarters then makes sence now lol. My mate swears blind it made her labour earlier but i think she was just v lucky b cool if it did do that tho then we wudent have to go over due cuz that sucks x x

Rachael, instead of paying for your credit report, you can go to www.annualcreditreport.com and get one for free once a year. That's where I've gotten my credit report in the past.

As for the RRL tea, I've been taking the capsules since about 27 weeks, and I've started drinking the tea earlier this week. My friend's midwife (since I can't afford my own LOL) said it was okay to drink it all through pregnancy, and it isn't going to cause early labor - it just helps tone the uterus. I also asked about drinking "too much" and she said that as long as I don't start cramping (unlikely), then I'm not drinking too much. She said it *could* cause harmless Braxton Hicks, but I haven't had any yet. What I do is boil some water and let the tea soak for a bit, then I put a little honey and lemon juice in it and pour it over ice. It taste a MILLION times better iced than hot.

I've started taking the capsules, as well. I have to admit that my braxton hicks are much more intense than they were before I took them (I've been having them since 19 weeks), but at my doctor appointment today they checked to see if I was dialated at all because of my BH being so strong. I'm not (Phew), but they said it could be that they are just stronger because I'm also sick right now (Not fun.. achy body, stuffy head, the whole nine yards. Pretty sure its the flu). I guess we'll find out if it's the sickness or the red raspberry leaves making them more intense as soon as I'm better. If they continue, I'll know its the leaves...


Man, I need to start packing my bag... I have been wanting to do it for weeks, but my mom keeps telling me to just wait. I have her "go home" outfit (and two back up outfits) put aside. Just have to figure out everything else.

When having a credit check done by the bank they told me that having your credit checked actually lowers your score as well. The woman doing it for my loan told me that when she first started at the bank she would check her's every day and then found out it was ruining her credit and she had to rebuild it before she was able to get a loan.

kids xmas is sorted here , still no tree though just waiting on a few bits to arrive from amazon then everyone else is done too .

I've been waiting on stuff from Amazon for ages! This weather is causing havoc with the mail, blah! Hope it gets here soon or DH won't be having a christmas, hahaha.

you can track your order on Amazon - i ordered at end of Nov and still didn't have it 7th dec so looked on line. turns out it was sat at Norwich depot! I contacted amazon, they rang the courier the next day and lo and behold it turned up!!
