    I remember with Jack they told us that one leg was a lot longer than the other and that when he was older he may have a limp!! He has two totally normal legs!! I take their measurements with a grain salt, it's amazing how different each sonographer can measure the same baby, it's all just the click of a mouse hun.

    As for laying on your back.....when I went for my last U/S, I had to roll over onto my side because I went all clammy and almost passed out. When you are preggers and lay on your back the baby puts pressure on a main artery that goes from your legs up to your heart.

    Thanks guys.

    I have the flu again too (I just got over it almost 2 weeks ago lol), and a temp of 37.9 an hour after taking panadol so that might be adding to my discomfort as well, and doesn't help that the Braxton Hicks start up every time I stand up.

    Tonight it's been feeling like she's engaging, as my pelvis feels just like it did with DS, but it's too early for that to happen right?

    Marlene - Her legs even look longer in the u/s pics we have compared to her brothers u/s pics, and with the reach of her legs at the moment (felt like she was going to break my lower ribs tonight she was kicking that hard) I'm inclined to believe the scan right now lol

    I don't feel clammy when I get short of breath, I just feel like I can't breath. It's a bit scary as this didn't start happening with DS until around 27-28 weeks.

    Thanks again guys

    Just an update - 22 weeks 2 days today and saw the OB this morning... fundal height is now measuring at 28 weeks! And here I was thinking it was still down around the 25-26wk mark lol
    Kind of freaky, a little bit worried, though the OB isn't, but I've been feeling out of sorts for past couple of days as well, so not really sure what to think right now.
