Oooh Wilsey great to hear buba is in a good position!!

Hmm I've never heard of the Bradley method classes...? I think in the uk they are a bit poop with antenatal classes as neither me nor my pregnant friends at 28 weeks have heard anything about them through midwife yet.. I looked up one in my area at our local Surestart centre but they dont start until after 34 weeks and I gather its only 1 or 2 classes... also my friend from work had a baby at 18 and didnt go to any classes at all the poor thing!! they didnt give her any info or ofer any classes on the nhs. I gather you can go to the nct ones if you look them up online but they're pretty expensive I dont think we will be bothering.. shame tho :(

Its natural birth techniques and using so's as coaches. Granted you can mold it to fit your desired plan but thats the general ideal.

We are doing the Bradley method classes, which are one class every week for 12 weeks. To be honest though, I don't feel like I'm getting a lot out of it. I kind of dread going :/ I guess I feel like I could have (and have) learned the same and more elsewhere. I also ask a lot of questions that the teacher doesn't know the answer to, so I wind up doing more reading on my own when I feel like she should be a good resource herself. Maybe it comes down to the teacher though.

I watched classes online because of the same reason. They just didn't give me what I wanted. The one at the midwifes is a little different but we will see what i think.

I think it has a lot to do with your own personality and your ability/desire to learn independently too. I've found this website and other websites to be really great resources and I always feel like I can come here and ask for others' experience, etc. I think for people who aren't comfortable doing that, they probably get more out of the classes. This wasn't a free hospital class, as someone else said, it's a private natural-birthing method designed by this Dr. Bradley guy. It's been around for a long time and the material is good - I just don't think I'm getting a lot out of the specific class structure.
 
we are doing classes through the local health unit.. two hour classes over 6 weeks. They cover everything from before labour, birth, pain relief, breastfeeding etc. I had hoped to start sooner but couldn't get in until the May start date.. so we will finish just under a month before the due date.
 
So I have 12 days until the due date. Starting to get quite achy around my hips and back. Have a feeling he's going to be late and I will have a long latent labour period.

After waiting this long I just want to meet him!! ;)
 
aw not long wilsey!!! He will be here before you know it :)
 
Ultrasound went good baby did exactly what he or she was suppose to. I have no clue anything else as it was a tech so I have to wait till my midwife looks at them in three days. Nothing looked funny to me though.

Heart rate was 158, measured 20+1 (I am 19+6) and weighed~ 11 oz. Moving and kicking like crazy
 
EDITED

My little bug!!
 
I want it to happen on it's own but at least I know baby will be in my arms in 20 days at the most. (They let us go over 10 days in NZ before inducing). So wishing it will be this week, I just can't wait to cuddle him.
 
I am with you on that Wilsey. The military also makes you wait 10 days past your due date and I hear induction sucks. I hope you don't have to wait the full 20 days!
 
Thanks wantanerd. I've definitely been noticing changes in my body in the last week or so. I think my body is gearing up for labour but who knows how long it will take to actually go into labour!!
 
congrats armywife! these last few weeks have flown by since 20 weeks for me!!
 
I still feel like I just found out I am pregnant! It blows my mind I am due in less than 7 weeks!
 
Ultra Sound results came back 100% positive... I also learned.. get this.. an anterior placenta. I have been feeling movements since 15 weeks!! I thought she was kidding!

It still surprises me. Everything I read says I should feel them later than I did. Others have mentioned movements just as early in the second tri board so I don't feel as shocked as I did.
 
I have an anterior placenta too armywife.

I felt him for the first time at 18 weeks. Which is quite normal.

Just made my belly a bit bigger I think. It's quite uncomfy now that he has his back to it and there is hardly any room.
 
Our nursery is almost done... just a few things left to hang on the walls + the mobile. I should be able to post pics after the weekend! So excited!
