SAPh~ Wow,sounds like a big bub there! My cousin had a baby a few weeks ago and he was 9 pound 9!! And she had a natural delivery! Id be signing up for a c section if that was me having a baby at 9 pound.I dont know how she did it. My son was 8 pound exactly,and didnt even engage as im quite small,as is my pelvis.Im hoping for no bigger than 7 pound something this time but you cant choose unfortunately and my husband is quite solid so im guessing a big baby for me too,athough i havnt put on any weight as yet.
The cord blood thing sounds great! I think i would like to do that to.I couldnt with my son,Connor as he was emergency c section so they dont use the cord blood that way.Not sure why?

London Miss~As you are closest to me in the pregnancy date thingy....do you remember when your symptoms began to ease?Im a bit concerned because about week 10 things started to ease for me.Im not so tired anymore.Thought you could help?


AFM im 11 weeks tomorrow and am eagerly awaiting my first ante natal app in 1 week,1 day.Have been feeling a bit more energetic this week.Still emptying my bladder constantly and have food aversions,can smell EVERYTHING (yuk) and am a bit tearful/moody.Im wondering though:
Did anyone have any achiness/crampiness in their abdomen and aching/restless legs in the forst trimester? I have been getting a dull aching feeling mixed with occasional sharp pains in my sides.(sharper pains are only when i sneeze or move around).My legs hurt almost all day.
I dont see my ob for the first time for another week and its slightly worrying.

Also,did anyone ever buy a home doppler? I was thinking of getting one but would like to hear what anyone thinks first?
thanks girls.
Belly Rubs to all and Labour vibes to those nearing the end.xx
