good luck :hug:

just what I was thinking - babies are obviously all far too clever and know it is freezing outside! Good luck with your sweep - I don't have mine till Friday and just want it over and done with! xx

I know just how you feel!!!!!!!!!!! All those months of waiting until the 6th December and now have realised I could have another 10 days of feeling rubbish and anxious and downright fed up! I just want it over and done with. If it would only stop raining for 10 seconds I'd go outside and walk...

Poor you! You need to watch something funny on TV to take your mind off things. I am also feeling pretty rubbish and really hoping I don't have another 11 days of this to go. The bump is really achey and I always feel a bit nauseous and light-headed in the evenings. I want to get this...

Thanks for thinking of me :) Just read your post and I'm so glad everything went well for you. Well I was sooooooo nervous of going to the doctors but they did another urine test and no protein and also no swelling. My BP was 140/90 and they took it again 5 minutes later and it was 138/85...

thanks girls. I took BP again this morning (like a million times) and it completely fluctuated between a fairly normal 130/87 and 150/99!!! I guess these home machines can't be too accurate. I'm not going to call my midwife today I've decided. All that will happen is that I will be really...

good luck! have one more scone for a bit more luck :)

thanks for the advice - nice to know I am not the only one - am slowly driving myself insane here :wall: I think I might call the midwife tomorrow and let them know my blood pressure is still up - at least they might test for protein again so if everything is fine I might be able to relax a...

Hi girls At the hospital last week my blood pressure was really high (140/96) and they told me to monitor it at home after a long wait for lots of tests. Even trying to be as relaxed as possible I can only get it as low at 129/88 and that's before getting out of bed in the morning. Most of...

Hey all, Had a very weird experience. This morning (39 weeks exactly) got up at 3am to go to the loo and water came out in a puddle on the bathroom floor before I made it to the loo - sorry if TMI - I didn't feel like I was bursting or anything so decided my waters must have broken - the...

congratulations - that is amazing - well done u and baby! xxx

Hey all, I have been really worried about all the aches and pains I've been getting recently and I keep wondering what is normal and what is not. I'm 33 weeks today. I get shotting pains in my bits :oops: and the whole area feels quite swollen which is the SPD I think. Also - my...

I'm 33 weeks too and definitely have had less kicks - the ones I get tend to be really low in the pelvis. The bump is quite quiet in the day and then I get loads of wriggles and squirms at night when I try and get to sleep. I also get lots of hiccup type pulses and they are all exactly in...
