    Mako - I am so sorry to hear you are a little concerned from your appointment.
    My advice is (I'm sure you've probably had enough advice) if money is not a concern for you I would be stopping work asap.
    Not that I think anythings wrong but just for your own peace of mind & knowing that you can rest if you need to.

    I was very concerned about work & thought I was finishing too early at 32 weeks but I am so glad that I did now because I have found I'm even more busy now but I just don't have that added stress of work.
    I wish I had finished earlier & you know what if they hadn't been happy with that if I want to go back to work I will be able to get a job elsewhere at the end of the day this precious baby is so much more important than work.

    Kotare - glad to hear your hospital is nice, we were told I would be staying for at least 4-5 days which I guess is the benifit of private, they don't have to kick you out straight away & isn't it wonderful that they teach you everything.

    Ltl Panda - not sure what to say about the swollen feet, I have found the last few days with the warmer weather mine have been a bit swollen & I can honestly say I am so glad bubs will be born before the summer hits. (good luck, lol).

    Jo - 27 (treated endo)
    Dh - 34

    Hi thanks for your advice regarding the work situation. I spoke to my boss this morning and unfortunatley I'll be there for another 2 weeks unless I go into labour early or a miracle person turns up and starts teaching. Oh well I'm coping pretty well so far this week so we'll see how things go.

    Ltl Panda Its not the Ob causing the BP hun. My Ob is the one who is keeping a very close check on me and bub as she knows that my condition can and does become risky to mums and bubs. Bub is ok atm but we need to be checked alot more frequently now. Bub is a good size and not petite by any means lol. Its the fact that my amniotic fluid is low is the reason for my measurements being small.
    This is the reason that I'm having another scan on Monday too

    I also suffer from the swollen feet and hands which is also related to the b/p. Not everyones is related but some are. I hope yours is just from the heat sweety and you are ok.

    Kotare I'm also going private. The hospitals are always much nicer and the food is better too. Atleast you know that you've got a room to yourself and the help is there if you need it. Try not to stress about the breastfeeding hun. I'm taking the if I can do it then great but if I can't for some reason then the bottle is fine too approach.

    Hope you are all ok
