    Smithy~ Thankyou! I secretly have always wanted a little girl but always thought i would have boys so it was a fantastic surprise.We are over the moon.peanut will be the 2nd girl in DH family's side.The first girl is almost 20 so it will be great news when she is born.(we are planning on keeping it a secret).

    Regarding 3d/4d Ultra sounds,i thought this was interesting....
    ..... during my scan yesterday i asked i they did the 3d/4d scans and was informed the following:
    The sonographer stated: 'those scans are highly frowned upon as there is not enough eveidence to prove they are safe.2d scans have been used for so long now and no reported side effects have been shown,wheras the 3d/4d scans are relatively new so there is no way of knowing of their safety.They only do them in very strict circumstances such as when they think that there may be an abnormality or defect.They are only for entertainment purposes and are not recommended for those reasons.
    ..... I thought it very interesting and decided against having one done.She said she could give us a 'quick' look,if we were really adamant,but she really disagreed with the idea.We didnt feel it was worth the risk.
    I thought this was info that should be shared as i had previously had no idea that the scans can alter the growth/development of the fetus' cells.
    I was very surprised about this.Just thought i would share xx

    Right, going to attempt to do some personals. If it all goes wrong, I shall scream!

    Lise - how in the name of God is your flight costing so much???? Are you going by private jet or something?! Via London and Paris and Monte Carlo? All I can say is make sure you get a points card before you go on that flight... if it's qantas you'll fly for years on that!

    Sammiejam - that's actually quite scary. I think mine might have it already. On the subject of a show - I have no idea how much of a show a show is!! Did you ring the hospital? What did they say?

    Wantbaby - I had an official scan last week and we had a short 3d scan without us asking for it or being told that info... I'm coming to the conclusion that insurance companies rule the world and that's why we're all getting so cautious about anything. I bet people said the same about 2d scans in the beginning! So I'm not sure, but interested if you hear anymore.

    BOC - how bloody exciting! Only a few days to go... it's funny when I started here and I was 5 weeks, I simply could not comprehend being 20 weeks let alone 38. It's dead strange to be half way there already! Look after yourself for the next two weeks won't you. No running around!

    Wantbaby - congratulations on your news.... that's wonderful. You must be pleased!

    Wishes - and finally! About blumming time!!!! Glad you could join us... and a very warm welcome. All we need to do now is locate Persephone MIA and then we'll be away!

    AFM. Well it's been a bit of a week for me. After the gastro/tiredness incident earlier in the week I've been taking it steady. Started getting pains in my stomach yesterday and still had them this morning, so I rang the RWH, and they told me to head in. I did, having sent off fussing DH who was on his way to the airport, and they checked me out. I was TOTALLY impressed with the hospital, and worth going for that reason alone! They had my file ready, I was in and out in an hour and my mind completely at rest. V glad I went, especially now I know that my pain is "normal" and I should just suck it up (that's not quite what they said but I paraphrase Biggest Loser style!). Then just been out with the team for lunch and we had a curry. I think I managed four mouthfuls before realising that 'the issue we don't mention' might be resolving itself .... in a curry house. Oh well. Even four mouthfuls have got little Miss kicking so that's good now I'm looking at the underside of my desk which looks very tempting for a two minute kip... hope you are all well and have lovely weekends ladies x

    You poor thing, that totally sucks! I have been in that boat too. Just take solace in each other and the comfort of family & friends. Sending a prayer up to the big man upstairs that you can be joining us again real soon, for good this time.

    Thank you so much for the kind and supportive words ladies. I cant tell you how much it means to me

    I feel so much better knowing that I am NOT the only one and that I am not losing the plot.

    I did some research yesterday on what husbands go through at the end of a pregnancy. Aparently it is a very weird time for them. They are very in tune with the mothers emotions and start to mimick them ie, get very needy, want to be looked after themselves *sammie rolls eyes - TYPICAL * and this can play havoc on the mother. This is very common in couples that have been infertile prior to the preg. It even has a name, couvade syndrome. I think this is exactly what has been a main contributor to my depression. The man has been driving me nuts. Anyways, my sister called him last night and told him about what her DH did at the end of her pregnancies (he just totally lost it and was COMPLETELY USELESS) and my DH finally got a clue He asked me to write a list of things that I want him to remember every day and he would do them. I think my sisters DH getting on the phone and saying to him "Its going to get ugly. More ugly than you can imagine. Just do EVERYTHING she says and smile while you do it. And dont ask her if you can stop for a burger on the way to the hospital. Whatever you do, dont do that." ( LOL this nearly caused a divorce)

    I feel so much better today. I think maybe yesterday was a bit of a turning point for me. You girls were a bit part of that so again - thank you all so very very much.

    Oh and TMI but a some of the plug came away this morning... should I do anything or just wait?
    Eeeeeek!

    Hugs to all,

    Sammie
