Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

Cheers Sarah, yeh I thought that may be the case. Random she'd still be using it now though, seeing as tape measures were invented

Should hopefully hear back from our financial advisor today with some figures to see if we can proceed and put an offer on this house. I hope we can, I'm already mentally decorating it and know exactly where I want all my furniture

 

[Sarahcake]

Lol yes, the tape measure, whilst a simple invention, would actually make that job a fair bit easier for her! One of the midwives at the antenatal day unit was talking to another the other day when I was up there and she still insists on using the finger measurements as its more accurate apparently? Cant see how, but there you go!

I meant to say earlier actally but massive congrats on the sale of your house! I cant believe that went so fast! Really hope your advisor has the news you are after today so you can progress and get it bought.

 

[ttc_lolly]

I don't understand the finger measurements... unless the MW's have mentally remembered the exact length of something by using their fingers!? Or do they assume their fingers are exactly each 1cm wide!?

Thank you! I can't believe it either! Mad rush trying to get everything sorted now, as we hadn't thought it would sell this fast ourselves and so have nothing done!

 

[Sarahcake]

They must just...know how big their fingers are I guess. I suppose if you have been doing it for years then you would just do it and trust the results every time. Horses are measured in hands arnt they so that kinda measurements been happening for years...still, not sure if I trust it myself lol

I only have experience of selling my grandads house, and I remember that being a nightmare, took months to sell and several drops in price so yeah, going by my experience of house selling, you've done really well with that!

ARRRRRRER!! NEED TO JOIN YOU ALL IN CELEBRATING THATS ITS OCTOBER!!

All the best with the consult appt Lolly, hope you get some answers. Definitely ask about GTT, I passed but only by a fraction and they never rang to disc results.

Cant search prev posts but glad someones NCT classes are coming up. Would you be able to post what you learned and discussed in the classes when you have them? I missed out on my only antenatal class so feel abit lost with breathing techniques etc

Afm, general moan needed . Back aches all day, my ass bone connected to leg sends shooting pain down my leg everytime I walk, really annoying! Reimi being a bum last night and wouldnt move much, tried all the tricks and I got very frustrated. Shes moving like norm this morning so I gave her a telling off for making me and DH worry . Think thats my moan so far... Xx

I'm still in a state of shock that were due next month...NEXT MONTH!!! Eek!

Really glad to hear reimi is shifting about as usual, it really is worrying when they don't isn't it. I always thought that I would be less worried when I started to feel proper movements, but if anything, I'm way more worried!

I've got my nhs classes starting on Tuesday lunchtime. A course of 4 classes apparently so will let you know how they go. The nct are the paid classes arnt they? Be interesting to see how different they are!

 

[Scally]

Have friended you Inoue! Sorry to hear about your aches and pains Reimi was being a little monkey! Glad she is back to normal today! They do love to worry us dont they?

[Sarahcake]

Will add you now Inoue

 

[Inoue]

Sarah, got you added ~ thankya! xx

Edit! Got you now Scally (thanks Sarah!) x

Edit Edit!! Arrrrrr. Ive just sent a friend request to someone i didnt want to (from my school!) can i unclick on something so she doesnt join my page?! x

 

[Sarahcake]

I think you can cancel request yeah. If you go back to her page, you should see something like friend requested, you should be able to click on that and it will bring a drop down menu where you can cancel friend request...I think. Thats how it was before all the changes anywho :S

 

[Inoue]

*bows down at your feet*

Thankyou thankyou thankyou!! Phew. Breathe... x

 

[time]

Hi guys! Just been catching up on what you're all doing! Been out of action all weekend as we had an anniversary weekend because we have to work today boo!

Glad you have a scan Wednesday Sarah, bet it will put your mind at ease and you may just have a lot of fluid around baby. I think fh measurement is ludicrous anyway!

Good luck with the house lauryn and with your consultant, I don't have any appointments now until the 12th and that's just another bp, urinalysis, the check. I'm only ever there 5 mins!

Hope you're all good and cannot believe we can now say baby is due next month that is mental!!!

 

[Sarahcake]

Did it work Inoue? Ive done it so many times before, being nosy on old school peoples profile and accidently hit add as friend and thought...shit lol

Ooo happy anniversary! Hope a lovely weekend was had I am relieved for sure, fluid wise, it was within normal limits at my 29 week scan but I suspect that may have changed for my measurements to be that drastically out.

Your midwife appointments sound a lot like mine! Dip the pee, prod my stomach, scribble on notes and out the door lol

 

[Inoue]

Yeh it worked perfectly thanks Sarah

Glad to see you back on here time . Hope you had a nice anniversary weekend, do anything nice? x

 

[time]

Yeah we had a lovely weekend thanks, nothing like I expected my first anniversary (babies were meant to come next year haha) but we have non alcoholic champagne and strawberries for tonight which will make up for it! We were going to stay in a fancy hotel but really not worth it as I am so uncomfortable all the time and would just want to be home in my own bed!

Sarah the fluid can come on all of a sudden so it may just be the last few weeks its gone into excess which would make more sense than baby growing so so drastically!!!

I know annoying isn't it especially when you only see them every 3 weeks at the moment. I also got a lot of nastiness in response to me telling her I'm probably not breastfeeding due to me going back to work quite soon as well as husband offering to do night feeds, so I'd end up expressing all day long to get enough milk! She was very sharp with me and gave me 4 leaflets on why I should breastfeed so she hasn't given up yet!

 

[time]

Just bought some micro new baby nappies in boots as a pack of 25 was reduced to £1.60 so thought they can't be that tiny but omg they are sooooo tiny!! No way baby would be fitting in those unless she is teeny or comes early, worth it though for how cute they are haha

 

[Sarahcake]

I really hate the pressure that you get to breastfeed. I do plan too but even I think its bad how on your case they are. At my 31 week appointment, I was sat in the dr's waiting room with my maternity folder and got swooped upon by a breastfeeding midwife like a vulture who then proceeded to chuck leaflets at me and tell me the pro's, even when I had already told her I plan to do it. Was horrid actually as the waiting room was packed and she was asking me, not so quietly if I had any worries about my nipples or anything :S Was mortified.

Midwifes dont understand sometimes that its not just a case of I can breastfeed whenever baby wants food. I dont work, so sitting at home and feeding on demand isnt a problem, but for someone trying to fit that, and expressing around a working day, must be hell tbh. Im sure we all get how breast milk is better for baby, but they dont have to make people feel like terrible parents if they choose to use formula!

Rant over lol

 

[Scally]

Happy anniversary Time!

I think its awful how much they go on about breastfeeding, and almost make out that formula is poison!

I am hoping to breastfeed, i did with Izzy for 4 weeks but had to give up on doctors instructions as i was so poorly and even then the MW were trying to slam it down my throat!

[Sarahcake]

It really really bugs me You are given a choice which one you want to use, but in reality, is it a choice really? Its more presented as one is right, and one is wrong which is in no way true. Does it matter really what you feed them? So long as they are being fed and are thriving I see no issue here at all.

I may not be able to breastfeed due to my medication, and I have absolutely no issue with formula feeding Logan should I need to. Im just cheap and Breast milk is free
