Hi Sarah, hope you are keeping well, 35 weeks eh? Hope things are going well for you.

Hi Lisa - how are you today, hope they are providing you with snacks. Are your levels going down?

Regina - how are you?

So far today sugar levels have been fine, so hopefully it's getting back to normal

Don't know what baby's doing. They said she was breach yesterday but midwife earlier thinks her bottom is now at top although lying across still, she wasn't sure .

I have a scan later so we'll see what she's doing. Although she's not stopped wriggling all morning!

 

[josie1234]

Aw that's good about the sugar levels. Bet you are looking forward to the scan to see what she is up to. So exciting. xxx

 

[Oasis717]

Hope she's moved Lisa Brooklyn was the same last night moving non stop for about 2 hours and completely changed position twice so fingers crossed for you. Glad your levels are good too. Hopefully back to normal xxxx

Scan showing transverse still!

Head is on the top right and her bottom is on the bottom left, so I will be staying put for a while!

11 days and counting

How's everyone else doing?

 

[Oasis717]

I'm certainly getting plenty of rest, so I should make the most of it!

How are you filling your time? It would drive me barmy!

I have been to see the consultant this morning about my home birth.
I'm back!! He was a lovely co consultant and spent a long time talking to me. He said that he was very laid back about birthing choices and that he understood that my obstetric history, my bmi, my BP and my health were good indicators, but that he had to tell me the things that went against my choice ie. my age and the fact that my body will be thinking f going into menopause soon. He said not to make choices yet, but was not out and out anti HB in any way. I have been booked into have an US in two weeks due to "small for dates" I have no worries on this score as baby is back to back and not palpable properly. I will then see him again for more discussions. Overall it was a very positive meeting. I have not changed my mind though and hope to have my HB!

 

[Oasis717]

Really hoping that home birth is possible for you xxxxx

My sickness has gone on all the way through, its been 34 weeks of nausea with just a few days break, it's very bad after eating for two hours, it's something I've just had to get used to but I look forward to no nausea soon. We've got two new additions today, Jimi and Hendrix, two dwarf Chinese hamsters, Casey is over the moon with them and hasn't stopped staring in the cage since this afternoon. Here's Jimi, Hendrix is a bit camera shy xxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Awh Becks they are adorable , I love Hamsters they are so cute and I love the names . I used to have a gerbil called Ben , used to run around the bedroom on Saturdays , cage cleaning day and a day of freedom for him lol...... I'm thinking my sickness ain't going anywhere soon either !!! Still also have major food issues and only certain specific things appeal at any given time , the rest uck !!!!

Not long now Becks not long now at all

We always had hamsters when we were little!

Great names.

 

[crysshae]

I hope those of you with nausea get some relief soon.

Hope you get that home birth, Creative, and that you are finding ways to pass the time, Dance.

Oasis - Cute hamster! Love the names. Who's the Hendrix fan that named them?

 

[Oasis717]

Thank you and tbh both dh and I love the same music despite him being younger so it was both our idea really as we're both huge fans hence the wedding music, we had Hendrix, Oasis and Meatloaf during the ceremony! Hendrix is really active but Jimi's still hiding in the house!xxxx

 

[josie1234]

Hi ladies, sorry to hear that you are feeling sicky Regina, but that's all good eh?

Great names for the hamsters. How are you doing Becks?

Cry - think we are cycle buddies, I am CD 10.

I had a smiley face on OPK today, normally get them a lot later in cycle (about CD 20) so I am hoping this is a good omen. DH went back today though so won't see him until Weds morning now. Hope we have done enough the last few days if I am Ov.

Creative - fingers crossed for your home birth.

How's everyone else today?

 

[Left wonderin]

I'm good lol( tmi warning ) me and OH DTD for the first time since BFP , wasn't planned , having a cuddle on the couch and just couldn't help myself

Wasn't planning on DTD whilst pg , am so nervous of something going wrong , I know everyone say its fine but I wasn't planning on taking any chance !

Felt like a teenager again lol........ Hope and pray all will be ok x

 

[dancareoi]

Jo sending lots of baby dust your way. It's good that your ov day is sooner, less time to be waiting around !

Regina, I know what you mean about DTD it is a huge worry. I didn't let DH near me until i Was 20 weeks and I was worried sick, but everything was fine.

Just try it when you get to 36 weeks, its not easy!

How far are you now, I lose track!

 

[Left wonderin]

I'm 16 weeks on Tuesday dance so glad to hear its not just me who is cautious !

 

[Oasis717]

We were the same re the bd didn't do anything til after loads scans and even then we worried! Apparently it's good at the end to have sex at night and let the semen lie at the cervix overnight as it can start you off!
Thanks for asking Jo, been v hormonal today, they aren't kidding when they say the mood swings of early pregnancy come back at the end. I've felt like I've had pmt today and cried for no reason at all lol xxxxxx

Without going into too much detail, but when you DTD and are satisfied! This increases blood flow to the uterus.
