    The_Mrs - same thing happened to me. Thankfully, the pool arrived before baby. I have sussed out my bath in case baby gets here before the pool this time. It is not as good, but doable if necessary.

    Thanks for your posts yesterday. Baby has been quiet for a few days, getting movements occassionally but nothing strong. I went for a drive yest to get DS asleep, and hoping to get movement (baby often says hi when i am driving). nothing happened so i bought a sugary slushy thing from a drive through food place. got a few after that, but still seems pretty quiet. I also have a cold atm so maybe baby is feeling bit sick too?? Last night, my tummy was sore similar to contractions. It went for an hour or so, and then i fell asleep on the couch and woke up and things had settled.

    going to give birth support a call this morning. It's probably all fine, and i will just feel silly when baby says hi again, but i'd like to just check things are ok before christmas.

    Teni, I found a certain freedom in staying pg past 40 weeks. It was like once the date was passed, i no longer had a line to reach, and baby could just come in their own time. DO you have some special things planned for you for next few weeks?
