Ok, following on from the thread earlier (shy wife) - I thought I had better introduce myself, after much nagging from my husband. I thought it was him that had posted! What are you scared of he asks? Well to be honest, I don't really know :s So here goes...

I am almost 25 and come from Essex. I am due on the 10th April with our first baby, which is a girl (I hope! You should see her wardrobe hehe).

I haven't had what I would call an 'easy' pregancy. I had hyperemesis from about 7/8 weeks and was eventually hospitalised at 12 weeks. Luckily they controlled it with tablets - though I still couldn't move off the sofa for about 3 months - thank goodness my work were very understanding.

So now I am left with the dreaded SPD, which I was pretty much guaranteed to get as I have Hypermobility Syndrome (aka Hypermobility Ehlers Danlos Syndrome). I am under consultant care because of the EDS, although she doesn't have a clue - and I had to find information for her!! Hence I am very aprehensive about seeing her again at 38 weeks.

I think thats pretty much it in a nutshell. Sorry that it took so long to introduce myself.

Hopefully I can get to know some of you before I pop.

PS Can I persuade anyone else to come out of the woodwork??

Hello
Glad you are joining us, as someone has already mentioned this place is addictive so be warned

There are alot of april babies arent there, i reckon its because of the crappy weather last year, we were all stuck indoors finding other ways to entertain ourselves

I agree with the addictive nature of this forum. I came on here after dropping James to school and having a shower thinking 'I'll pop on for 10 minutes whilst I'm drinking my tea, then I'll do my ironing'.
One and a half hours later I'm still here!

tell me about it, i'm so tired through not sleeping. I get worried about going into labour and not having enough energy.

Though having said that, I have a bum under my ribs today, and its killing! I am practically lying flat with the laptop on top of me so baby eviction would be welcome sooner rather than later

I think quite a few of us feel a little fed up with carrying the extra pounds now. I keep telling Daniel to come out to play...does he listen to mother? nope
