Sazzafrazz - sorry I can't help you with the thrush issue, hope the yoghurt helps though.
Mako - glad your feeling better about your mum, it's great that dh agrees with you on her not babysitting.
I must admit I don't no how I will let anyone look after our bub (& I actually trust them), the family is so excited I'm starting to think I'll never see her, lol.
Sorry you can't have the water birth you were wanting & I'm sure the classes will get more interesting.
Congrats on your wedding anniversary, enjoy.
Let us know how your ob appoint. goes.
I can't sleep at all on my back so I sleep on my side but it's both sides.
Ltl Panda - I can't wait till you can feel the thumps from bubs, there is just nothing like it keep us posted.
Clare - hope you are feeling better you poor thing.
23 weeks & you haven't bought anything, I would be in a panic only because I like to be organised.
Yes it can be very daunting but if you get a couple of your big items first I think you will find it a little easier.
Cot, car seat, dresser of some sort, pram.
Maybe start with those & see how you go.
Good luck.

So nice to log on this morning and see so many posts. I never thought i could feel so close to strangers online, but BB has changed my outlook.
Sorry about your family Mako - i hope once baby arrives things will change. DH and i live in fear of what his mother will be like - thank goodness she's in NZ. Congrats on the anniversary - DH and i have been together 9 years too - gosh, we were just 21 when we met!
Finding it super hard with my sis here - she has said a few things which make me think she is on to us - but we will tell all when WE want to. I just hope she hasn't discussed it with anyone. DH is at work again this week so it is actually nice having someone around when i'm normally alone for 7 days.
Thanks to everyone for making me feel better from last week. A big hug to you Jo - it seems like i might be having a lucky symptom free pg - at least for now. I hope your next one goes much smoother and kinder on you. I do feel lucky - i'm not taking it for granted. Apart from being a little tired and a little hungry, i'm pretty good.
Clare - i hope you can start buying a few things soon, but i'm sure it's easier said than done.
I'm back from my ob appointment and am happy to say that all is going well. I heard bubs little heart beating away nicely which is always a great sound. I have to have the GD test done next week so I hope that all goes ok. I'm also on 2 weekly visits from now on which is a little scary as it means its all very close now lol. Ob is happy with how everything is coming along.
Clare I hope you are feeling better after the bout of food poisoning last week.
I'm sure you'll start to feel better and be comfortable buying things for bub. Even if you go and laybye a few items and then you can take your time paying them off and slowly bring them home when you are ready.
Kotare You are doing so well keeping this pregnancy a secret. I would be beside myself if I hadn't told anyone by that stage lol. Have you decided when you are going to make the BIG announcement?
Jo Maybe you should speak to your Ob about the leg numbness when you see them again or even give them a call and see what they can suggest. I hope things start to get a bit easier for you soon. When are you finishing work?
Ltl Panda How are you doing today? Any more Bubbles in your tum?
Good to see you back Monnie. Glad you're back home with little Felix now.
Sazz - I was looking at you pg journal and notice you got OHSS too. How long before it all went away? I'm still a bit bloated and, as of last week anyway, my ovaries are still really big. 12 weeks now so placenta should be taking over... right? I know i have a placenta cause i saw it on the scan
Glad to hear all going well Mako, and good luck for your test.
Mako - so glad your appointment went well.
Yes isn't the time flying, bub will be here before you no it.
I guess it's worse for you (even though I'm only a week behind) because you may go early.
I see my dr in a couple of weeks so I will ask about the numbness then.
I think I mentioned 2 weeks ago that I had cut down to 4 days a week at work but I am actually finishing at the end of September so it isn't long to go now.
I was hoping to start slowing down this last month but someone's going on holidays & I am trying to teach everyone everything before I leave so it looks like it's going to be my busiest month but at least I can have a good rest when I'm finished.
I must admit I am finding work quite tough atm, the belly seems to really be in the way & I'm used to being the same weight all the time so I find the extra weight really takes a bit to get used to.
Thanks to everyone for their thoughts on my tough (but I'm sure there is worse) pg, I really hate whinging because of course I am so grateful to finally be pg but I guess I feel I can let it out with you guys because you no what it's like to try so long for a bub.
On a different subject I just had a bit of a laugh at a question in the third trimester section which was 'seriously is anyone shagging in the third trimester'.
It did make me giggle as the last two weeks since I've been having b/hicks I have been wondering how I can actually dtd without them happening & also where is my expanding belly going to fit, lol.
Hope everyone is doing well.
