    AngelLukesum - I so understand where you are coming from.... it is such a long time between scans and no reassurance of baby moving... I am uncomfortable about the whole idea of the manual massage and the epi no. So I can understand your blushing smiley faces.

    Laney- thinking of you.

    Hi to everyone else. I seem to have won a mini battle with my demons for the moment. What a relief. Hope you're well.

    AngelLukesmum, only 9 days to wait. I will be thinking of you

    dory, glad everything went well at your Ob appt. Do you have a day yet when thay will be taking out your stitch?

    Hi to everyone else!

    My ultrasound went well. bub is still in the 65th percentile!!!! We will just keep watching and make sure that he continues to grow well. I have to get my GD test at some point this week. I am not looking forward to it. I have a hard time drinking the sugar drink and keeping it down

    Laney - good news about bubs.... our little bundle is 65th percentile too. It's a bugger you have trouble drinking the glucose drink and keeping it down. Makes it something to dread. If it comes up again, do you have to drink more? When I had an upper GI series ( aka barium meal... I know which one sounds better) I was told whatever came out had to be put back in. Urgh. Luckily for me it didn't, but when they take the series of x rays after the contrast has been ingested, the bench is moved around a lot and it's very uncomfortable... so much so I thought I would have to replenish. Fortunately I don't find the glucose drinks too bad. I've had 3 (glucose tol tests) this year, so I am lucky I am not affected.

    I don't have a date yet, for the magical stitch to be removed, but my obs come back from holidays Monday and if bubs is still snug we'll set a date. That's the weird thing for me at the mo, if I go into labour, I have to go to the hossy straight away so the stitch can be dealt with.... so I am a little hyper vigilant about possible labour signs. I felt nauseated early this morning and kept thinking, is this labour? Pretty much as I have been doing the whole preg, but it's even more intense now.

    Good luck with your GD test. I hope you come through ok.

    mo4, the last post I read from you sounded so positive. It is very tough but you are doing great! I hope you are able to post more soon.

    dory, I don't know what it is about that GD drink. It is awful! It almost came up the last 2 times I have had to drink it. If it comes up I have to drink another full cup and start over! Barium sounds lovely too
    When I went in for my c-section with Grayson I was told that I was having strong and regular contractions. I didn't feel a thing yet! I guess you just never know. Can't wait to find out your big date!!!

    Hi girls
    Just logging in quickly before I wake DD up to begin the day and get ready for childcare and work.
    Only 3 more sleeps till my NT scan!! Am really, really impatient now to reach Thursday and get some reassurance that all is going along okay. I even tried to use my angelsounds monitor last night but of course its still too early to hear anything Am curious too to see where my placenta is sitting - I have always had it at the front so it would be nice to have one at the back this time around so I possibly get to feel the movement earlier...
    Sorry, just had to get all that out!

    Dory, you must be almost 37 weeks now. WOW!! Do you have a date yet for the stitch removal?

    Laney, hope your Monday scan goes well, just like all the others have

    Hi to everyone else. Better get moving. DD always wants to sleep in on the 1 day a week she needs to be up early & I hate waking my precious girl up. Have a good Monday ladies x
