Smithypoor DH did he look?
BabyDreamtime bugga on both girls being breech, no ideas sorryI hope all the turn turn turn vibes might work.
LondonMiss itching means stretchingI think you bellybutton will be popping out soon if it hasn't already. PawPaw Cream has kept my belly from being too itchy, I started at 8 weeks.
sammiejam sorry your move isn't going smooth and I agrea it's not your problem the landlords need to come back and retenant they can always get an agent.
wantbaby I still miss tummy sleeping but a couple of pillows or one pillow and DH works wonders for keeping me on my side. also when it's cool I put a wheat bag under my side (helps so much with my back) but with 39C at the moment no heat pack.
Saph, I had icecream last night it was divine.
popyfairy with 39C here snow sounds so nice. glad DH is home too, SOrry to hear you are in so much pain, Mine comes and goes but it really isn't long for both of us now
BOC you are so lucky you can nap, it doesn't seem to work for me, but I wish it did, my first day of leave today and I still got up at 7.30am. I'm nuts.
kyrawolfewell done on 24 weeks +1
ATM: sitting in the lounge room and have just givin in and put the ac on. DSS is helping me do the washing today (he is a jem) I'm really enjoying not being at work but I'm still thinking about it.I guess that will go soon.
OB appointment yesterday and baby is 3/5 engaged which is great cos I though my belly had dropped (still not mad yet). My blood pressure was down too. Feet are starting to swell so it's time to relax.
I still can't believe I was going to try and go to work for another week, how stupid am I. Well I'm just thankful I woke up to myself, afterall I'll be no good to bubba exhausted and still cranky at my staff.
Had two more baby showers this week and am so overwelmed. It was actually really plesent (my staff were so funn) they got me a shirt with a flap on the front with boob cut outsDH thinks it's cool but it's ugly. I think it'll stay in the draw.

Hey greenslw.. I dont blame you for having the AC on today.. although it rained here earlier so its been nice and cool for at least a little while !! sounds like your pretty flat out atm with all the baby showers! dont go too hard out
Made the greatest smoothie last night (my mango tree is comeing in handy!) Blended together a mango, a banana, ice cream, honey and milk then topped it all off with whipped cream on top! and cinnamon dust.. mmmmm no wonder Im already getting a chubby face!
Wow bubs starts to feel big around this stage! s/he spent all night booting the crap out of my bladder which was such an odd and uncomfortable feeling...
Wishing all the bellybellys out there a happy healthy day today <3

Hi ladies, all this talk of ice cream is making me hungry.... I haven't been keeping it in the freezer as I know it wouldn't last long!
Green - glad to hear you have finished work. I think you need time to put your feet up at the end. I hope you manage a couple of sleep ins next week.
Sammie - your landlord sounds terrible. I wouldn't be letting anyone move in before the 31st either. If the landlord asks because they have found a good tenant who needs to move in sooner and they don't want to loose them - I would say that's ok if they refund you the difference in the rent you paid for how many days or weeks it ends up being. If not I would stand my ground too. They can't have it both ways!
Kyra - how lucky to have a mango tree in your back yard!
Poppyfairy - love the belly shots and the snow! I keep meaning to take some photo's but have forgotten in the Christmas lead up. I might start on Sunday when I will be 15 weeks!
AFM - I have been in a bit of pain the last few days with sore hips and things. My mum said she had it when she was pregnant with me but she was surprised how early I have sarted to experience it. Wenseday night I could hardly move because my left hip was swollen and pushing on my sciatica nerve. I have an appointment with the Physio Tuesday and am hoping this will clear up soon. I can't imagine another 25 weeks of this! Has anyone else had a similar experience?
to everyone else I haven't had time to mention.

Hiya,
You might have forgotten who I am...but I'm still here! This thread is a bit big for me to keep up with, and sometimes I've only got just enough time to post in my Bellies thread instead!
I'm 19 weeks today! And we'll find out whether we've got Pink or Blue next week - can't wait!!!
Mitf, just thought I'd let you know that I've been having the round ligament pain and back pain for a while now, and today it's quite uncomfortable. Just wait until you add a bit of gas and constipation to that!
And LondonMiss, my itchy bbs are driving me insane! I'm moisturising every day with cocoa butter which is helping...but scratching my bbs during work hours is proving tricky.
Gotta go ladies, thinking of you all...and watching and stalking you all.

Persephone1 -=- good luck with ur scan and finding out if your buying blue or pink!

Hello Persephone! I thought you were missing in action! Funny, my boobs are one of the few bits not providing me with any problems at the moment....! But I will start slathering on the cream more religiously at night from now on. I've just scared myself silly reading my maternity book. I do not like the full-frontal-bloody-head-sticking-out-woman-screaming-like-a-banshee shots. I don't think there's any reason to a) have your picture taken then, it's not a snap for the family album is it, or b) to scare pregnant women with it... On the upside, I've finally got an appointment with the hospital at the end of the month. About blumming time, frankly. Of course, it's the one week that DH is away in India on a business trip. Do you think it would be better to take someone else or go on my own? I feel a bit of a spanner doing these things on my own.
Gosh, I wish I had a mango tree, that sounds amazing. Lucky you. Tonight is Friday and that means curry night in the London Miss and Mr household. Happy days
belly rubs to all, hope Smithy and Poppyfairy both feeling well and not worried about us taking bets on their race

Hiya!
Seph:back hun! I have often wondered what happened to you and was hoping everything was going swimmingly! Good luck on your scan, wow feels like only yesterday you were tentatively dipping your toes in this thread after receiving your
!
Smithy: Hey there goober girl! I have to admit I was
Poppy: Love the pics! How is your furbaby coping with the impending arrival? Mine isn't too fussed, very wary of entering the nursery but loves napping across my belly and playing kicksies with Cookie. Sending sweet labour vibes your way!
mitf: I had the same thing around 8-12 weeks at night. Kind of felt like someone pulling your hips apart. I was told it was that they were starting to move to make room for bub. Just try not to lay on one side for too long. Easier said than done though, I know!
kyra: mmmm smoothie! More a berry type myself, and loving fruit crushies too! Just bought myself one of those freezie mugs today so lots of crushy stuff for me YAY!
Green: Glad to hear you're relaxing. And don't worry, I couldn't nap in the beginnig either, took a little practice. I started by allocating an hour a day just sitting back in the recliner or laying on the bed with furbaby even if I didn't sleep I was resting. Didn't take too long before I started dozing off. Good luck!
LM: Hope you enjoyed the waffle... I mean walk ;-)
Hi and
Well last night's antenatal class was interesting. Instructor was abit of a wet dishrag but nevertheless went through some stuff. I think I'm just way too overinformed cause I'd already read up on a lot of it. Most intersting part was the video. In a room of about 10 couples, all first-time parents, some with no idea what goes on in labour (how thoey could've read nothing yet at 30+ weeks is beyond me but anyway) when the video played it was DH who went a lovely shade of grey and almost passed out! Yep my hard-a*se macho DH who has been present for childbirth before! I was flabbergasted! Anyway gives me lots of ammunition to torment him now *insert evil laugh* but at least he said he was really glad he went and he got a lot out of it as things have changed quite a bit in 27 years.
And as for today, been a busy little bee. I went into my hossy bags checklist and realised that bar the gatorade and muesli bars, oh and the birth plan a.k.a "wish list", my labour bag is ready to go! So it's now all packed and even the other hossy bag for me & Cookie is 2/3 packed now too! Very proud of myself! And feel a big sense of relief too, knowing that I could go anytime now and at least be ok and comfy for labour.
A little bit of a scary thought, one of my friends who is also 27 weeks and is having #4 is already 4/5 engaged!
Anyway hope you all have a great weekwend! I'm picking my parents up from the airport (they've been to a family wedding in Sri Lanka) and will prob spend a couple of days there. Catch you all soon

Just a quickie from me to let you know I am still here and still waiting!!!
Green- good to see you are off work and relaxing!
Seph - good to see you back!
Smithy - had a chuckle at the DTDing. DH and I tried the other night to try in order to get things moving but frankly it was embarrassing. We almost found it hard to look at each other in the eye the next day! LOL!! Won't be trying that again until the bump is definitely gone!! Looks like it is going to be acupuncture for a natural induction for me then!!! LOL
BOC - funny how they show those vids. I mean what is the point really? Everyone's labour is different..how do they choose the 'textbook' one for the video!!??
Saph - Poor you with thrush. You must be headed for a calm easy labour after all the trouble you have had in this pregnancy! Surely that is how it should work!!
Mtif - I did some sort of damage to a buttock muscle at about 13, 14 or 15 weeks (can't remember exactly) I was starting to get all that relaxin loosening and I squatted down quickly to get something out of the oven and I got a sudden pain in my bum that didn't go away for ages. I went to the doc and he said to take paracetemol and relax. It eventually went away but I remember thinking I was stuck with it for the whole pregnancy! You just need to be careful in your movements while your muscles are all loose.
Londonmiss - hope you enjoyed the icecream. I had my cold weather version yesterday. DH made mango and blackberry jelly (his own made up recipe using agar agar and mango juice and the blackberries we had frozen from our foraging in late summer!) He then chopped up bananas and put them on top and we had it with fresh cream! Yum! Like a sort of melted icecream sundae!!!
Kyra, Wantbaby and everyone else my 'fedup with pregnancy' brain might have missed, Belly rubs!!!!
AFM - seem to be having these weird nightly pains. I think they are like contractions because my belly goes all tight and they sort of are a wave going up my belly. Sometimes I need to stand up and walk around to feel more comfortable. I get them about every 15 minutes, sometimes every ten but nothing really regular. Then they disappear. Has happened two nights in a row now. I seem to spend all day with period type cramps (which for me is an almost constant dull ache low in my belly) and then this performance at night.
DH was laughing at me because he cannot believe that a woman who is 9 months pregnant can honestly believe that labour will not start soon. But I tried to explain to him that I feel exactly like I used to for 7 years looking for pregnancy symptoms. For 7 years I would feel sore boobs, urgent need to wee, funny cramps, metallic taste....the whole shebang of pregnancy symptoms and for 7 years they were always false symptoms!! So now when I am looking for labour symptoms I am finding it really hard to believe that it could be the real thing! Especially since so far what I thought was my 'bloody show' turned out to be a cervical ectropion and my contractions so far have disappeared or turned into gas!!!! LOL!!! I am still getting around to the idea of the inevitablity of this baby. It has to come out someway and at sometime but can you get this head to believe it????
BTW my Dad has decided not to come down until after our babymoon!!! Yay!!! DH and I are having lots of lovely nights watching DVDs and eating lovely food together! He is going to take me on a date to my favourite Chinese restaurant on Tuesday night. Cannot wait!!!
