    Alish I almost got DH to shave my legs this morning but just managed to do it myself. He would happily do the other area but there is no way I would shave (the itch would drive me insane when it grew back) Dh happily took my stitches out down there (down there and up to) They were disolvable but after a few days I couldn't stand it so got him to take some out! He definately wasn't complaining IYKWIM just about it been out of action It wasn't after birthing otherwise I would have slapped him I think.

    Kellbell - keep strong sweetie, sending you lots of hugs, hope you got some reassurance.

    Dampyre - AWESOME - congrats on such a great scan. 5cm is excellent!! I am so happy for you and your happiness just jumps out of your post. Yay.

    Mildez - I am with you - go the bush for labour. For the others preoccupied with it in all honesty, your bush not the focus of anyone's attention, it's about your baby and you, but if it makes you feel better to de forest, then do it. I always used to de forest before any ante natal appointments but then as the bump got bigger it was impossible. The midwife clipped me before the caesear and made some innane comment like " you almost broke my razor" ( little electric one thank god and not a blade razor). I was mortified at the time but now just laugh about it.

    Reet - good idea about DH not working away as your EDD approaches and 4 weeks off is pretty good. You will probably be feeling more on top of things by then. You look awesome in your pics - thanks for the link. That is a NICE bump.

    Possums - How did you go today? Holding my breath.

    Alish - well congrats to your friend hey. And like you said, at least she wasn't lying.

    Melster - glad you and DH met up, that's something. Keep strong.

    Forshelby -loving you sis. Not much else to say - cause I need to go read and remember what you posted. Oh, I remember that you packed your bag and you're short of undies. TBH, I was worried about undies too, but in the end I just wore my old ones cause they were comfy and stretched and also then I didn't care if they got messy with stuff.....

    Hope - OMG that is awesome about getting to 35 weeks. Stitch out next week.... could be action stations after that, or maybe not. Just depends how your little ones feel about it all. or maybe you'll get beyond 36 weeks. I found having the stitch out a bit uncomfy, my obs just did it at the hossy and I had to hang around for half a day after in case there was some action. I found when there was no action after the stitch I was disappointed. It was awesome to know I'd gotten to the point where it was ok if the baby came. It's way cool. A friend of mine has just had twins so if you need any support or tips I can give your number to her. She has been just an amazing mum, I am so much in awe of her.

    Ferrals - gold star for your DH.... you are so funny -plucked chicken indeed. I am not sure I will eat roast chicken for a little while until I get that image out of my head. PML.

    TegamM - hello there sweetie. Thinking of you and Miss Molly.

    Well, went to the Obs today and all is ok for us to try again when we are ready..... had a really god discussion about the PIH/PE/HELLP & vbac/caesear. Of course the same precautions as last time, extra folic acid, rest, stitch, steroids, anti biotics..... But it's such a relief to know medically and physically it's all ok. I can't believe just how keen I am to try again. I so didn't expect that I would feel like that.

    Mwawahh - thanks T. Let's catch up next week? Not Wed... it's Amelia's angelversary and we're having a service, finally. I met someone IRL yesterday that I had met once before at a SANDS meeting, and then had been following their blog. She is so totally amazing, and to meet her was so unexpected and really made my day.

    Mildez - AWESOME news about your appointment. Well done. Ah, I am a coastie, but believe in the bush... double meaning intended!

    Dory thats so rude about the middy commenting on your bush. Apparently according to the midwives I work with its more common to de-bush around coastal areas but us bush pigs out in the sticks tend to keep the bush. I did mine about 3weeks ago (for DH) and might do it once more but I don't want to be bawled for the collegues and maybe they will help hide the veins lol. Wishful thinking anyway. When do you think you will ttc again? Thats such good news all is right to go when your ready.

    I had my antenatl appointment today which went very well. Dr doesn't want to see me again until 36weeks. I'll be back to update but I had a scan which showed everything looks great.

    Reet-sorry to say no i cant handle the regrowth while waiting for it to get to the right length to be waxed again i like smooth 24/7 and the one time i did try it after i nearly had a flap ripped off i looked like a plucked chicken so i shave or nair every 2nd day.
    One of my friends gets her legs done every 4-6 weeks and yes they are real smooth for 2 weeks then *****ly and hairy for the other couple of weeks until her next wax ewwwww i hate hair.
    And yes castor oil is BAD YUK! but it made me go into labour with DS2 & DS3 so works for me.

    Possum-good luck with your u/s hope your bubby puts on a little show and wave for you my girl has hidden with every u/s so hoping my one on wed we get a 3D pic of her face finally.

    Kellbell-we will all get through this myself included i have had such a bad run since 2009 when we lost Abbi everything just got worse with all the testing and genetics failed PGD ivf an effected embryo unable to get pregnant because of stress then with this one all the f#ck ups with the CVS testing and waiting and waiting for someone to tell me this bub is effected and i will lose her aswell i really expected for lightning to strike twice and i supose i still do i think all this is to good to be true but i have to believe this bub will be ok i have to be positive for her otherwise it is unfair to start off her life with nothing but fear and stress.
    Dont get me wrong i have my moments but most of the time i try to put it aside and be normal for her.

    Damprye-woohoo on a good scan it feels good to get that sigh of relief doesnt it.

    Mildez-i got the runs first from the castor oil which set off the contractions and i didnt have anymore runs while in labour or while pushing cause i was cleaned out i will say it gives you a belly ache until you are on the loo and all empty.

    Alish-LOL i wont let my DH shave me down there at the moment because he would pitch a tent and it would lead to us getting it on and seeing as we are on NO SEX!because of this placenta i dont want to temp him but i can tell you he just loves doing it.

    AFM-my disco queen has been kicking up a storm keeping her mum and dad happy.

    Mildez- At first I was thinking girl because of the m/s but after Saturday night, I started thinking boy. About 90% positive that I having a lil boy. I know my OB will try and sneak a peek at 16 weeks though since I'll be going somewhere that does 3D for the morph scan again.

    Ferrals- I feel the same about down there lol. The time I waxed my legs was because I had let it go for a lil while and even then it was probably better off being shaved. Gross fact but back in the day, the midwives used to shave it for you. My now 89yr old Nana told me that one... I replied, bet Poppy loved that and the look on her face said it all LMAO!

    AFM- completely regretting valentines dinner now. It has given me such bad bloating and OMG the gas *gag* I'm fearing everytime I backfire hahahahaha! I want a nap now, so tired aleady but it isn't even 8:30am yet. Also wish that I had a comfy bath so I can stay in there forever lol. It is the only place where I don't feel as sick.

    A big HELLO to everyone here. I just realised I have not been on here for so so so long. For those of you who don't remember me, I joined this group last year. I am pregnant with twins. I really need to go through and catch up on where everyone is, haven't had a chance yet so no persies - terribly sorry.

    Just a quick catch up on where I am. I am now 35 weeks, can you believe it? I really did not think I would get this far. So happy with myself and these gorgeous little bubs for holding on for so long. Next week (36wks) I get my stitch out of my cervix so I suppose anything can happen after that (if not before). FX I can get to or past the 36 week mark. That is now my goal. That about wraps it up for me at the moment.

    Hope you are all well. I will do my best to catch up to where you all are.
