    Thanks Bella

    I have notice the past week how much more pain and discomfort I'm getting "down there". It feels like it is swollen and the only way to get relief is to lay down. Luckily for me DD goes to bed about 7pm each night so after dinner I go to bed early and watch TV and put my feet up.

    I was really struggling yesterday and today as DD was a crazy child at playgroup and at one stage I had to run to catch her and I mean full on run so I don't think that helped much. I have my 24 week scan on Thursday so will be interesting to see how big they will be but all I know is they have big feet lol...

    My Belly is measuring bigger than term now, hence the need for the steriods injections as my OB doesn't think they will be able to stay in much longer.. 32 weeks on Saturday that's my aim and then taking it week by week. My tummy is now measuring 131cm around - that was at last Saturday - and in the past couple of weeks I've now started getting stretch marks around my belly button, I suppose it doesn't help that they have already "dropped" therefore stretching that area even more.

    Mrs S: I hope your travelling o.k. I have my Ob appt today so looking forward to seeing where things stand. DH is even coming today to get an idea of when we should expect things to happen but I think we may only have 2-3 weeks at the most left before these guys arrive. Mmmm will it be before Eater, at Easter or after Easter that is the question???

    Glad you got the injection so at least that you know it will help mature their lungs for when they arrive although they still need to bake just a little longer for you.
