A WTH update...

Had Ob appointment yesterday. Our low baby is now even LOWER! Ob agreed I was having pre-labour symptoms. These can last some time, but with the position of bubs it looks like we are now talking super-soon. He could not actually say when, just "boy is that baby low!"

Our goal is to we make it to Saturday when I hit 36 weeks so I can have my emergency CS in the cushy private hospital (had a difficult birth with DD at the local public one - still feel a bit yuk from it all). So I have been told to rest at home. I am allowed to sit and use the computer so I should be able to keep you all up-to-date and catch up on some BB persies

Kath - have you tried Rennie tabs? Safe in pregnancy, a great calcium boost and have been a god-send these past few days for me with strong heartburn and indigestion.

Josh'sMum - my SIL whole family are genetically low in Vitamin D. Apparently it can commonly happen, regardless of diet, etc. They only just found out about it recently. No amount of sunshine does the job - they all need to take supps.

Babymiracles - glad you have got the move out of the way and had a lovely baby shower. It is so exciting that you are about to meet your little miss. Sorry that I cannot help you with the Strep B, but I do know the outcome with antibiotics is said to be excellent

Zstar - with your NT scan. Hope they give you a nice pic to bring home and pop on your fridge

Mrzbaby - I used a doppler for this pregnancy, too. I bought it online at about 12 weeks and it certainly kept my mind at ease before I started to feel bubs move. Like Babymiracles, I invested in a rather good one with an LCD display showing the BPM. BTW I also have an anterior placenta. I can't remember if I was anterior with my first PG, but felt movement at perhaps 18 weeks with DD. They say in subsequent PG's you will feel it sooner. This time around I felt it at about 18 weeks again (not the 25 weeks that was suggested to you). Similarly to Hannah, I generally first felt flutters after a warm drink if I was semi-reclined on the bed. On days where I was active, I rarely felt anything.

Tina - congratulations on your great scan!

Meredith, Erybery and Easha - thinking of you... x 3

to Hannah, Mollycat, Karen Van, Pash, Lee, Theresa, Rach and anyone I have inadvertently missed!
