Ah .. Jm i wud be interested to see how they do it over there then cos here its just feeling from the outside. Likeaustralia - when u say 'shortened cervix' what does it mean exactly?short how? Iv been thinkin about this since u mentioned it and cant figure it out. I thought the cervix was just the 'ring' part. Sorry if im bein daft lol. X

 

[likeaustralia]

Jo - the cervix is like a long tube shaped muscle. When people say "effaced" or "thinned" they are talking about how much the cervix is shortening. It starts out long and closed and as it gets closer to your due date, it naturally thins (or shortens or effaces) and opens. Luckily mine is not open/dilated at all, so it's not an immediate concern for me.

i work in an office Mrs W.. so not doing alot but just sitting in the same position all day gets hard..
i cant really take my work home which is a shame because im sure i could still work if i was comfortable!
I am thinking i may have to start my leave early..

i am getting to the point where its hard to walk aswell jmandrews.. between the hips and the groin pain i must look pretty funny trying to walk

I can understand Hun, I have a desk job too and by the end I was finding it hard to sit in that position all day. Plus I got really tired. Could you finish earlier?

I'm getting pelvic pain/pressure too, it's sore but exciting that it's another sign babies getting closer to arriving

Hmm thanx likeaus. I never realised i feel daf now. I thought the cervix was like the neck of the womb... So... Is the cervix classed as inside the womb or underneath? Im a lil confused lol. I thought i knew this stuff!

Im not convinced my babys head is still in the pelvis, i havent had any lil pelvic twinges anymore and i still feel sometimes a big movement where a big hard lump sticks out to the side of my bump and it really feels like a head. Its not very comfortable and i always gently push it back in lol. Does anyone else whose baby is supposedly head down get this and what other body part cud it be?

Don't feel bad - I don't think most people really know unless there's an issue with their own. It is like the neck of the womb. My mw said to think of it like a turtleneck shirt (do you have those in the UK?). So the uterus is like the body of the shirt and the uterus is like the neck that sticks out below it. When they say it's effaced (thinned/shortened), the uterus is sort of pulling the cervix back and up towards the uterus, so it looks shorter than it would when it's at its full length.

Forgot to mention about the baby's position. Mine's head down and I get a lump on my left side, as well as my right sometimes. The big one on the left is the butt and the littler one on the right is feet!

Eep! Honeydew melon today! Only one more fruit to go... I can't believe it.

 

[rosabelle]

Mrs W, i can leave at any time really, it just means that i am using my maternity leave before baby comes which i was trying to not do as much as possible. but yeah i guess its not worth being sore and uncomfortable.

With our babies position, she is head down with her bum and spine to my right, but i have noticed that in the morning when i wake up i have one large lump very high on my right and another very high on my left and the lower half of my bump is super soft so i think she lies side ways at night and moves during the day..

We finished our nursery this week! It makes it that much more exciting.
I cant help but come home and just sit in there with the little lamp on..

 

[Mrs W 11]

He he, I love just sitting in the nursery too

 

[josephine3]

Good job I dont have a big chair in my nursery else Id probly do the same lol... been spending lots (and lots) of time washing all the baby clothes I seem to have accumulated!! People keep donating me clothes and now Im gonna have to start saying no... its taken me 4 loads of washing so far - i didnt realise how time consuming hanging little tiny clothes was!! but fun tho hehe...

Also been hospital bag shopping today and think I've accomplished most of it now, just gotta get it all packed up!

rosabelle this is what I sort of feel too I hope shes not taken a liking to lying sideways tho!

Ahh so I only have 2 fruits left - i thought that as I could see another pumpkin type thing that I must have a good few left and that mine was a squash not a pumpkin... hmm i would have said a pumpkin was bigger than a melon!
