Mummytobe1992, I've added you onto the list - welcome

I've started my maternity leave already Wasn't meant to begin it until 36 weeks but due to housing issues I decided to bring it forward. Must admit it's nice to be able to relax more and have chance to catch up on sleep, but can get a bit boring. Can't wait til I'm a bit further on and can start washing LO's clothes and do hospital bags!

Had midwife appointment this morning, all is fine. Had a student midwife feel around my tummy and first thing she said was 'Ooo you have good abdominal muscles!' which I took as a compliment never had that one before if I'm honest! Checked baby's position and said he's had down but to my side
(other MW wrote 'ceph' and 'free' in my notes ). Measuring 33cm now.. not sure if this is what I'm meant to be? Measurements confuse me!

Apart from that I've felt really crappy and hormonal today! Been very snappy with the OH and just generally feeling sorry for myself. Lack of sleep, bad headache and aching tummy are not a good combination!

Rach - ceph means cephallic or in normal people terms head down! and free means that babies head isn't engaged yet! 33cm is about right for your dates! Usually it is the same amount of cm's to the amount of weeks you are, but can be 2cm up or down and still be normal! Glad it went well honey xx

im having a good day, actually i think im in shock...
last night i was going on at OH about us getting married one day (not too many years ahead) as my mum asks and i was wittering on about it not being a big deal apart from me wanting us to all have the same surname officially and be a proper little family like i always planned and he said that after we have had babs and got all sorted and into the swing of things we could get married, like a few months after baby is born!!!!!!!!!!!

that is as close to a proposal as i could ever get from him as he dosent really believe in marriage and is just gonna do it for me

Aww yay that's great news!!

I think you should now begin your subtle gestures for which rings would be suitable engagement rings

 

[BevG]

lol im not traditional like that, money is tight and from previous relationships ive managed to aquire 3 engagement rings so i got one if i need it but since he dosent want to be engaged more than a month anyway i just said i want a wedding ring, he isnt even getting one of those cos he dosent wear rings or anything and dosent want one. i just want his surname and my piece of paper lol. neither of us are particularly romantic or emotional so its all about practicalities lol

[TashaWink]

Congrats Bev--thats probably the exact type of proposal i'm going to get (if i get one)!

 

[mummy2b73]

Congrats Bev !

Congrats. I had a massive wedding in 2009, and I still think to this day, even if it was just me and him, with 2 other people we don't know as witnesses, it would of been amazing. Saying the vows is just perfect moment.

 

[Rachel1509]

I don't know if I'm the marrying type.
Then again, before I fell pregnant, I wasn't the motherly maternal type either, so I suppose things change!

 

[TashaWink]

I am! I've told oh when we're getting married and considering its a leap year it looks like I'm asking! I know what I want. just haven't quite decided whether it'll be next year or the year after.

Congrats bev!!! xxx

Is anyone else going to Antenatal classes? I've just got back from my 2nd class with OH and I'm actually enjoying them way more then I thought I would. Even though I haven't learnt absolutely loads of new information (seen as I've learnt it all on here from you lovely people, reading and just general knowledge) but I find it really reassuring and relaxing and somewhat more prepared if you know what I mean?

 

[BevG]

i have to ask my mw about those next week cos i signed up for them and havent heard anything since lol

How/when did you sign up for them? My MW just gave me the number of the hospital to arrange them myself!
