I think if she does a mood assessment today it will comprise of a very annoyed, over tired emotional individual! hmm!

I dont feel pregnant I feel fat! I keep looking in the mirror and looking away. I was over weight to start with, not heard of the glucose test will I need one? So far my weight gain is around 7lbs but I dont want to weigh myself again incase its gone up too much more!

im sure your mw would have let you know if u need it the test, i need it cos my dad has diabetes so they keep a check on me. i think they also do it if your bmi is over a certain number, they check your urine at each visit so if something was to come up in that id imagine they would do the test then.

funny thing is i didnt have to have it when pregnant the first time lol dad was still diabetic and if anything i was alot more over weight then, weird.

fingers crossed shawnie little miss stays put that little while longer! xxx

congrats amy and widger on your siblings having babies! there is no one close to me having a baby, just OHs cousin who i have only met once and a friend of OH whos wife doesnt really socialise with us.

logan i think ive put on about 28llbs myself, i eat fairly healthy apart from the odd day where i just need something naughty lol lets hope you dont have to go back for the 3 hour test, we have no choice over here, if we have the test we have to do the 2 hour test with the fasting from midnight before, not looking forward to that on the 9th!

my MW shocked me aswel with how far we are getting, i mentioned my back and how just after 20 min of standing doing ironing i was in agony, she told me im to start resting now as its getting close, then she wanted to move my gt test forward as the original test would have been at 30 weeks...omg 30 weeks seems like its ages away and i was no where near it but obviously i was lol then she gave me the letters for antenatel classes...omg its all happening now!

I wasnt told how bubs was laying but i think she struggled feeling him as he was moving soo much, took her a couple of minutes to find the HB, i said you might wanna try really low down as it appears to be his hiding place for dopplers lol and sure enough there it was. She did measure my stomach tho, thats my first measurement of this pregnancy and i measured 27cm, i think thats about right?

amy i couldnt help but laugh at "plate face" it seems im not the only one who gets called names mine was heffalump last time lol so far no nicknames has been given..

i couldnt sleep again last night so im in desperate need of !! no idea why i cant sleep its driving me mad, im also feeling a bit light headed today and not sure why, it feels odd when ever i move my head anywhere like my brain is taking a few minutes to realise ive moved my actual head lol

Jolou - i'm glad I'm not the only one who had a "fat" nickname - hefalump made me giggle, although its quite cute too

I'm shattered today, I got all churned up and couldnt sleep at all in the night. Then OH started snoring. Roll on the weekend xxx

I have 43 days til mat. leave
I just can't wait to get the hell out of here. For real, had a nasty argument with one teacher today
What is this hot cross you're talking about? Hope I got the name right. Memory just isn't what it used to be. One day I stood in front of Janely and couldn't remind her name

 

[jolou]

a hot x bun is a sweet bun we have at easter over here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_cross_bun

i couldnt remember the history of it all so i googled it for you

i love it with a cup of tea

Finally midwife arrived! Everything fine babys heart rate was 120 and she reckon fundal height around 25 altho they didnt measure and OH thinks its bigger! Got my HIP form aswell so just filling it in ready to be sent off. mmm im so hungry now maybe I will have some more biscuits!

 

[Windmills]

Shawnie I really hope your LO stays where she is for as long as possible
Why are you lot always talking about food, I'm hunnngry I've got prawn cocktail flavour spirals in my bag though, counting down until lunchtime so I can eat them
Everyone in this part of the office is going to Conexxions this afternoon I'm jealous, it's like when you weren't allowed to go on a school trip!

 

[jolou]

sent my form off this morning! hopefully doesnt take too long to come through, trying to decide what to have for lunch, im thinking cheese and beetroot sarnie today

 

[hope&faith09]

hmm I would really like a chicken and mayo roll but we havent got any! Maybe I can convince oh to pop to the shop for me! Does anyone elses LOs kick when the midwife tries to listen to their heart rate? She has been quiet all morning the second the midwife put the doppler on she went mad we could see my stomach moving! x

 

[Windmills]

I'm doing my HIP form next Thursday, anyone know how long it usually takes to come?

 

[Windmills]

Mine does hope&faith! The only time I've seen my belly move is when the MW was trying to get her HB on the doppler

 

[hope&faith09]

It was so funny I was moaning about her not moving and then there she was! I think the HIP takes about 4 weeks to come thru but some people are saying it takes a lot longer!

 

[Windmills]

Ergh I wanted it in February! Going to try and get most of the big things this month and next month before I go onto MA

 

[hope&faith09]

I think we have now bought all our big things! We got a real good deal on our pushchair it was like 100 quid cheaper so have a good look around!

Im so tired!

 

[jolou]

lol katie i think it might be cos we always hungry so its food food food

bubs tends to go hiding when its doppler time for me, i think he is going to be a little mischief maker...oh no another one!

 

[jolou]

well i was reading through some of the other threads i think on the third tri forum, im not sure, a couple of the ladies sent their form off and the money was in a week later, im not counting on that happening to me tho lol

only big thing left we need is the cot and changing mat.

 

[debjolin]

I sent my HIP form off yesterday. read somewhere in 3rd tri that it isnt taking as long for the money to come through. The back log must have cleared a little.
I plan to get my cot and matteress with mine.
What are you all planning to get with yours?? xxx

 

[Windmills]

I saved £200 on my pram My Mum paid 25% off last week, still a lot to go though
This weekend I'm going to get the steriliser (I want a black one, probably the pod one from mothercare to match my kitchen.. ) bath and top and tail bowl etc, maybe a few clothes.. I think that's all that's in the plan! With the HIP I want to get bedding and the Moses basket. Next month I'm going to get the cot and anything else I can think of! And won't know what to do with the Sure Start money, I wanted a 4D scan originally but now I don't see much point as I'm getting so many scans from the FMU.. It'll probably end up going on clothes for her
Um, what am I rambling on about?

 

[jolou]

mine is going on the cot and mattress, then anything that's left over will go on little things we could use like a bouncer chair or something, i got all my steriliser and bottles from the asda baby event back in September, mums bought my bedding, i could use a few more sleep suits and blankets for the pram but that's about it. i need to see what the sheets are i had saved form Sophie's cot. my pram is already bought and in storage at OHs parents house, we dont need furniture since he is sleeping in our room, i could use a musical box for the cot, sophie loved hers, it would show little pictures up on the ceiling, all these things arent essential tho at all.
