That reminds me! Apparently, Bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) is awesome for heartburn that is difficult to shift! Dissolve a teaspoon of baking soda in 8 ounces of water...though ive heard that it gives lots of burps afterwards but is very effectiveX
never worked for me and i read to be careful with it in pregnancy
got my 36 week dr appt tomorrow.....hoping he's gonna say i'm like 2cm dilated already, then next week he'll tell me i'm 4 cm dilated....all happening whilst having no painful contractions....ok, ok, i'll have to step out of dreamland now.
it's 22 below here ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

YAY happy 4wks to go Tina and 3rd Tri to you rach! Bloody hell...time is flying!! xx
it's only -15 today with a -20 something wind chill....not too bad.....haha
so glad i don't have to work outside!
well, dr said i am a fingertip dilated, but that it's pretty common to be in second pregnancies. cervix still thick yet. he said i've got a ways to go yet so no chance of baby coming soon. baby is head down though so we are on the right track.

Thats great news that hes in the right position Tina! Thats one of my big paranoia things atm since ive been so fatigued all the time these last few weeks I am worried ill end up with a sideways baby! (I heard they go head down within this next week or two hence the worry!)
And a fingertip is better than no fingertip! Are you getting any pains or anything going on? I cant wait to see him!! x

try not to worry. chances are baby will drop right where she's supposed to be. one way you may be able to tell if she's head down is to pay attention to where you feel her hiccups. i read online that if you feel the hiccups below your belly button then baby is most likely head down. that's where i've always felt mine. i also feel pressure/kicking down really low....but i've carried baby low this whole entire time.
no, not having any different pains really, just increasing with weight of baby. i have to admit i was a little disappointed dr didn't say i was dilated more or thinned out. i was hoping to go earlier this time.....though not too early of course.

Ohhhh see...you are a wealth of information! I feel a lot of low thumps still so we shall see. I do notice that most of the bigger movements are happening around my bellybutton now which is lovely. Love feeling those rolls!
Isnt it true though that the cervix can change really fast? Im sure I heard somewhere that...though I could be imagining it!

He so is! Hes always been a little cutiepie though! Tho my favourite so far was the pic of him when you were out walking and he was smiling up at the camera...eeeeee
Such a photogenic little guy.you will feel loads of big movements in the next weeks! i feel that rolling feeling alot now and lots of pressure really low which i now think is babies head or shoulders or arms.
yes, cervix can change very fast, it really doesn't mean much. someone could be stuck at 3 cm's for weeks and weeks and go overdue and someone not dilated at all could go from 0 to having baby in an hour! there really is no way to predict it...i just like to be told i'm progressing cause it makes me feel like i have less "work" to do on the big day. with DS i was 2cm when i was admitted to hospital.

Yeah I can imagine that hearing some dilation has taken place is a positive mood establisher! I reckon youre going to go early with this one. We should start a sweepstakes now youre so close!
Im betting...38wks 3 days!

I hope you're right Sarah!
Last time I was so nervous about the birth I wasn't ready until the day I was in labor. This time he can't get here fast enough. I am getting a bit nervous about labor again. I would like my dr to be there so baby needs to come on a weekday

Yep 5 days 
Any type of movement counts like hiccups or rolling around, not just kicks. I often go long stretches without feeling movement...thing lo is sleeping or I'm just not paying attention. You should start by timing how long it takes you to feel 10 kicks...your baby may fall in a different range. See what's normsl for you and go by that to track any differences. For me, I know I will feel a ton of kicks and movement after I eat, not so much in the middle of the night. In general though you should feel 10 movements in an hour...if you don't, lay down on your left side, drink some water, and see if you feel 10 in an hour
