Hi Krikkit, I found all that really confusing with my dates too. They give a bit of room for error and then when they do their measurements along the way they tend to go with measurements rather than the dates you have been using (even though you know the age and date of the transferred emby. My dates were up and down like a yoyo so I just refused to change them anymore. You'd be celebrating those baby milestones and then it's like they'd be taken away, which means alot in those early tentative weeks. I'd say just keep your own record of when you think you are due and you are probably more accurate.
KellyD, ha, you can see by the time that Jazzy arrived late for that dance party your little girl was having but holy dooly she has been making up for it. Okay, so I did drink coke and eat cream bun today and she is bouncing off the rafters and I have chronic indigestion! Thanks for telling me about your c/s. sounds like the best option given your problems. I was going to ask for one medically earlier on as I contracted that herpes virus no one talks about when I was young and silly and it has been that unshakable friend ever since. I have to be on tablets everyday or it rears its ugly head if I miss even one tablet. I just couldn't imagine dealing with the illness and pain with a regular birth but I'm not so worried about that now that I'm taking the tablets throughout. It's not a long term solution, I have to build up my immunity somehow but i've never heard of anyone having it so constantly being set off by absolutely anything and everything.
Neptune, I wanted to tell you a different story of the perfectly imagined baby's room and then maybe yours won't seem so bad. My house is soooo small, we have only one room (when Mum stayed last week, we set her up outside in a tent...sorry, the Safari Suite). So someone mentioned they were getting a wardrobe fitted this week and i had a chuckle. Don't call DOCS on me but Jasmine's bedroom will be exactly one half of a regular sliding wardrobe. I bought a gorgeous cradle that fits the space exactly with barely an inch to spare and DH and I are sharing the other side of the wardrobe for our clothes not our bed. That is my baby's room in with us. we have a huge bedroom but have very few walls as there are sensational views all around and it's all windows. we have to contend with strong sunlight, mozzies, and sandflies so have to have her somewhere we can contain her. Oh by the way, there are no doors on the cupboard of course. The cradle is the Boori/Kingparrot one on wheels. It's gorgeous and should last til she is 6 or 7 months before needing a cot (when maybe we will have a house of of own, but who knows where we will be when DH finishes his PhD). Even the change table and bath on wheels will be moved to allow us to use the loo or open the bathroom cupboards, so there is no clutter as such, it's just that this house is built by boat builders whose other house is their yacht (usually parked in the Carribean I might add!). It was not designed with babies in mind, but that's okay, they have very few needs in the first 6 months, bed, bath and boob and they're all pretty accessible. Hope you can get some room to access yours
