Oh Kell- so excited u get to see ur little man again tomoro! And how good is it now that we dont have worry before we go to scans, we can be excited instead! I wish i cld have had the 32 weeks scan, i wld love some more pics! The ob said i wld only need one if my placenta was to low at the 20 wk scan but everything looked fine. Bugger! Is there any reason why ur getting it or is it just routine with ur ob.?? Enjoy every minute of it!
I cant believe ur ob. said some ppl are pg at there 6 wk checkups! I definitely wont be telling dh that! haha. If im feeling good enough and not sore i might give in at 4 weeks but i dont want to risk infection or anything like that. I never want to go back onto the pill cos i think it really stuffed my body up so we will have to be careful not to fall pg too soon!

Ferrals- Oh what a beautiful video! Ella is a strong little girl! I get good movements kinda like that but only up near my right ribs where babys little feet are kicking. Ur whole tummy moves!
U made me laugh so much when u said ur dh on top doesnt really work too well cos his tummy is as big as urs, haha, wont be long til urs will be flat again and u can start to spice things up a bit!

Alish- Woohoo for dtd! Ur lucky dh! I actually prefer for it to be a quickie rather then a longy especially since i havent really been in the mood this whole pregnancy!
Thanks for that website too! I went and had a look, I actually bought myself one of those things a few weeks ago, its a bit different tho. I wish i hadnt bought it now cos it cost me $50 secondhand, $160 brandnew, i cld have gotten a bargain on that website! Oh well...

Dory- Thanks for letting me know u get the nipple cream from the chemist!

Well girls u had almost convinced me not to buy a change table but ive thought about it and i reckon we will use it. Theres no beds close by that i cld change baby on and we let our doggies inside occasionally so i wldnt want to worry about them running off with a pooey nappy or something if i change baby on the floor! The only other flat surface is the kitchen bench and i think i wld rather stay away from that! especially since i havent had much experience changing nappies so it cld get messy! I think i wld also prefer to have nappies, creams, wipes etc all in the one handy spot. In a few months i will probably be saying i shld have listened to u girls but oh well i guess its something i have to realise myself! Thanks for ur input tho

In regards to drugs during labour, im all for it if the drs are recommending it for urs or ur babies wellbeing or if u really feel as though u need something to get thru it. But i just think when u go into labour thinking that u are going to need all the drugs u can get ur hands on thats exactly whats going to happen! Like dhs cousin.. she had to have 2 epidurals cos after the first one she cld still feel pain! I dont think any amount of drugs is going to take the uncomfortableness of labour away!
Kell im with u.. i dont think i wld like to have an epidural and not be able to feel half my body, im someone that likes to feel control of myself! With saying that tho if i had to it wldnt be the end of the world!
Ive told dh all about the bad side effects of pethadine etc so hes pretty against it so i know he will be strong during labour and only allow me to have drugs if he can see that i really really need them or if a dr strongly suggests it.
Even during my m/c i was having really painful contractions every few minutes where i wld be on all 4s in horrible pain.. (i guess it was just like a very mini labour!) my mum was telling me over the phone to take panadol or something stronger to ease the pain but i really didnt want too. I wanted to experience and feel what my body was going thru.. does that sound stupid?! I didnt even wake dh up when i was at my worst at 3am cos i knew there wasnt anything he cld do and i felt as tho it was something i needed to get thru myself. I was always the same with periods too.. i wldnt ever take panadol to ease the cramping etc. cos i liked being able to picture what exactly my body was doing.. like the uterus contracting to expel the blood etc.(haha yes im weird!) Im just hoping i have the same attitude when im in labour!

Anyway enough rambling from me!

Nite nite x
