Saph -=- that is a big bubby! Maybe you'll have him early.. who knows Your poor SIL must be feeling pretty fed up.. Hopefully some progress will come her way soon..

Wantbaby #2 I definitely got the sharp pains in the first tri.. I think its just all the expanding and development going on in there.. I guess its harder to think about when u cant feel or see any of it yet but its one of the most dramatic changes the baby makes for the whole pregnancy.. I didn't buy a Doppler but i have heard good things about the little home bought ones.. apparently they're not too expensive either.

Ellas mum sorry to hear the DTD didnt go so well.. Doesnt really help in feeling close does it .. But hopefully it has helped some sort of progress along whether you notice it now or not.. As for the oil.. EWWW LOL I think Ill hold out on that one.. Have you tryed going for a long walk or raspberry leaf tea? They are supposed to be good for the go GOOD LUCK

LABOR VIBES TO POPPY AND GRNSLW

Well Im feeling a little 3rd trimester now even tho Im still only 2nd.. I can feel bubs out both sides of my stomach when s/he stretches and starting to feel very heavy.. ALL the loverly late symptoms are kicking in.. Leg cramps, hot flushes, vivid scary dreams, insomnia, braxton hicks etc etc etc.. The list goes on.. I even got some really bad heartburn yesterday when I ate a chicken and mayonnaise sandwich too fast.. So it looks like its going to be a long 15 weeks...

I'm still looking really small for dates.. The midwives are looking to send me for another scan if my size hasn't caught up by 28 weeks. Did anyone else have size problems on the lower scale of things? Or have really scary awful dreams and insomnia? Ive lost so much sleep the last to nights its getting a bit ridiculous.
