    Me too about Ltl Panda Mako, its been nearly 2 weeks (??) since we've heard from her and her bub's EDD was definately about now...sending you hugs and good thoughts Ltl P, hope to hear from you soon xxx

    Nic so nice to hear from you. Wow you travel for your pg support, it is just phenominal, hopefully the new Dr is just being thorough with the tests. I know my BP was considered low in the beginning but each time it's checked it's so completely different. Even the other day i was sitting waiting to see the midwife desperate for the bathroom, but thinking she may want a urine sample, anyway, when she called us in and said no she didn't, i rushed to the loo, rushed back into her room and was tapping the ground really fast with my feet (like a kid with ADHD!) and then as she was taking my BP i realised i was edgy so stopped tapping, but it was too late, my BP was high. I have no doubt had i have not rushed around or been edgy it would have been much lower.

    I'm still going well - Technically 5 more working days before mat leave (yay!) and then the long wait for labour to start in the comfort of home. My ankles are back (another bonus!) but i am experiencing terrible upper back pain, right behind my left shoulder blade. I am struggling to bend, move, pick up things etc without flinching in agony, i don't know where it's coming from as bub is quite low now and by BB's aren't exactly that big to be causing it. I actually took my first 2 panadol last night for some relief...and i don't take pills, haven't had a panadol since before ivf started in April last year. DH has been giving me regular massages ubt it's back within 30 mins or so.

    Hope everyone else is travelling ok...

    Ltl Panda - we are all wondering how you are, and hope to hear a fabulous BA soon!

    Kimbe - bummer about the back pain - I have heard that because my placenta is right at the front and bugsy is facing forward (i.e. his spine to my spine) this causes back pain. Could this be your problem too? I hope it eases for you - but don't tell DH, enjoy those back rubs while you can get them. Perhaps when you stop working things will settle down.

    I did teeny tiny blue shopping at Target today. Then came home and did a load of teeny tiny blue washing. I still have many things that we need before bugsy arrives, but I was tired, and at least i got some half decent bras for me - my BBs were getting sore. I'm definitely not a 10A anymore - i should be thrilled!

    Anyone got a Grobag? I'm keen, but they are a bit pricey.

    Hope all is well with everyone and I'm always pleased to hear how our new mummies and their boys & girl are doing!
