Cookie and Karine, I have everything crossed for the both of you. Enjoy copious amounts of wine and doggy dances!!!
Hope everyone is doing well!! Sorry haven't been talking in last week. Busy busy! But been keeping up with my girls.
Going out tonight for a friend's bday tonight so am looking forward to that... Hope to get a bump pic finally! All is good otherwise. He's getting big and strong with his rolls and kicks! One thing is I'm frustrated with our medical system as always. Going the midwife route I was hoping to get away from the concept of pregnancy being treated more as an ailment... But no.
I'm perfectly healthy, baby is perfectly healthy, but my midwife insists on taking a normal pregnancy and trying to find something wrong with it. He's still measuring big as he always has so she's trying to find out the reason so it can be treated. Tested for gestational diabetes, nope that's not it. Now she wants to see me every 2 weeks to monitor his growth and is pushing for ultrasounds to rule out other problems.
..... Can't it just be accepted that he is measuring above average because I'm above average? Is using that logic completely unreasonable? I'm 5'11", DH is 6'1" -- have gained about 14 lbs so far which is very normal -- and would be very surprised to have a baby that is any less than 8.5 lbs. Sorry to go on about it.... It's just a blatant example of why people are made to be scared while pregnant and how there is no trust in the abilities of the female body.
I'll have to talk to my midwife on Thursday and lay it out that what I need is support to maintain my already healthy pregnancy. Because this frustration is just a huge stress! If they're not listening to me now, how on earth can I trust that they'll listen to me when I'm in labour?!
Okay, rant out.

Cookie so sorry to hear AF showed. Here's to you and Karine doggy dancing through the next month! X
Prepping, grrr to the over medicalisation of pregnancy Good on you for putting your foot down x
A, sorry you didn't get scan but glad youre feeling happier sweetie. Hang in there, I know it must be scary but I'm sure things will be fine x
AFM been a bit poorly- the 3rd degree tears from childbirth got so painful I had to go back to the hospital. Back on antibios and strong painkillers. Got a checkup Monday. So frustrating because all is well apart from that. So angry it had to happen. Seren's fine and had two of her Aunties (2 of my uni friends) to visit yesterday. She's enjoying celebrity life! She even 'smiles' for the camera!
Anyway, just a quick check in. It's 06:26 in the morning, OH has got Seren in the other room and I have a busy day so going to see if I can grab an hour sleep
Butty plugs, baby dust and doggy dancing to Cookie and Karine
Hugs to all xx

Thanks Clara I'm so sorry to hear all the pains you're going through! That sounds awful. this whole motherhood thing is liiterally a pain in the... 
but I'm sure your little girl is a beauty that makes it a little bit easier to deal with. Hopefuly.
I've calmed down since last week and booked the appointment with my midwife as she requested for today. As I have been told: "don't sweat the small stuff" so I will do my best to concede and compromise with the tests and instruction my midwife gives as long as she is fully informed about how I feel about over-medicalization of a natural healthy pregnancy. I just have to make sure I do it as nicely as possible rather than stomping around like an angry elephant. LoL
Otherwise, all good!
Luv you all. How's everyone doing??

I had one on 6+1 and saw a heartbeat, so fingers crossed you will too!
afm: sorry I haven't been/won't be around much...I've got 4 weeks til we move house! We're currently getting rid of a LOT of stuff and trying to thin out our possesions so packing will be easier! So I won't have chance to come on much. I'll be having my dating scan 2 weeks today (at 11+1) so hopefully I'll have good news/a photo to share!
You'll all be in my thoughts, even if I'm not around much

Hi gilrs
Hope you are all well - Cookie - maybe you could sneak off like teenagers to the woods for a fumble!!! LOL X
Thanks for your kind messages ladies - I am ok now - feel a lot more content and relaxed about everything. I have tried below to attach a picture of my tiny blob (it is tiny) - I cant get the movie file to upload :0(
Enjoy - I cant stop looking at it!

Hi all!
Ach, it's so exciting seeing the little peanut isn't it! Too awesome. That's quite something that you were able to get so much too!
Cookie, I agree with ach. A little romp in the bushes is in order. RAR
Thanks all for the understanding with my little freak out about the midwife going overboard. I did have a talk with her so that she knows where I stand on unnecessary testing and whatnot. I also promised myself to compromise as the stress of being my normal opinionated stubborn self is not worth it. So I will end up going for another ultrasound between 28 and 32 weeks so they can check the growth and whatever it is they're looking for just to keep the peace. My babe is a sturdy one.... I'm positive he's perfect as he always has been.
I've got an official bump now! It's beyond the point of me needing to ask "do I just look chubby or pregnant?" LoL. And I am so enjoying the one time in my life that people are going on about how little I am. Considering my height, it really is the only time in life that has ever happened.
Hope everyone is well!

Hi Ladies!
Just wanted to say that I am still here and keep checking in but never seem to get round to posting at the moment
Achelois I am so happy that you had such a positive scan. Hopefully you can relax a bit now.
I will need to do a proper reply soon but I've got a crying baby to see too now
