yeah i'd never heard of it either, we love the colour of the room so we will not be changing it unless of course we get a massive surprise when the baby arrives and its a girl even tho we have scan pics of babys bits that consultant printed off for us
:D
Our Box room is the nursery, its big enough for a box room so its just perfect as we plan on moving in about two years so weren't gonna go mad doing the spare room up, we need it for friends and grandparents for when they stay over
The light lemon sounds gorgeous and especially with the pink and browns. we are getting all our carpets professionally cleaned upstairs in the next 3 weeks and once that is done we are going to collect the nursery furniture. Its all really exciting now making it feel all the more real, cant wait for him to be here now counting the weeks 8 wks 6days to due date 0 -

Yes i could be, but im hoping and praying he arrives between my dates and the hosp dates my date is the 18th and hosp date is 25th so any time between then would be perfect i know im asking way too much and he'll prob arrive in April Although he is bigger than average so im going to discuss birth and labour at my next consultant appt in 2 weeks as she asked me the last day if i had any questions but i felt it a bit soon and that i'd leave it until the nxt appt so will be 33+4 at nxt appt. I've had 4 laparoscopys with this consultant due to endo so i'm wondering is she considering c-section plus with baby been big. I'd preferably like Vaginal birth as recovery is quicker but if a section is required im open to it!
I feel the last two weeks dragged in, just hope the rest of the weeks go quick enough, i cant wait to finish work. I've another 6 and a half weeks left!0 -

yea thats a lot of laps alright,I would be interested to hear what they have to say to you about that,i've had just the one about 4 months before this pregnancy,consultant asked about it at the start of the pregnancy but it hasn't been mentioned since.I am really hoping for a vaginal delivery too,I had one with my daughter and it went really well so fingers crossed.The recovery is definitly quicker and less painful I would say judging on the recovery from the lap anyway!0 -

I read in the book "what to expect when expecting" under the section "endometriosis" that sometimes if you have had surgery especially down low they will suggest a section. I had my last one in March so 3 months before i conceived and im sure it helped in some way I'm very lucky that i have the same consultant for both the endo and now the pregnancy and im public, well I switched from SP to public for the pregnancy on the request of my consultant as she only deals in the public so even tho im public im being well looked after i cant fault the system so far at all and i dont mind the waiting at appts. Im back with her on the 1st of Feb so i will let you know what she says. 0 -

Will be interested to hear what she says. I hadn't even thought Bout the impact my lap would have on the delivery method. I had mine done about 6 months before conceiving. I told the consultant but he didn't seem bothered at the time.0 -

Thanks Nead... it's so painful and hard to explain unless you've had them. My OH thought I was having a heart attack or something!!
I hear bananas and baths are good, a bath of bananas might be in order tonight!
Lol I have a serious cravings for oranges lately, lidl do gorgeous big juicy ones, can't get enough of them so your fruit themed bath sounds lovely!!0 -
-
oh they are a killer,I sometimes feel one coming on and doing light stretches eases them so it doesn't come full on,they haven't been as bad this time around thank god.....
Same here Digs,can't get enough of fruit the last while especially oranges,strange we are both at the same stage and craving the same thing:)
No way that's so funny!! I suppose we could be craving worse things I am beginning to think there is something to be said about the old wives tales. I am a textbook example of someone pregnant with a girl if they are to be believed! Citrus cravings, covered in spots, morning sickness and a wide neat bump! People are killed telling me how tired I look (they say girls steal all your beauty haha) Although I am sure they are just a bit of fun really
I get the odd cramp at night but the restless leg is a killer, it's the most bizarre feeling!0 -

Dito on everything,are you sure we are not the same person?-ha ha,maybe there is something in the old wives tale afterall about carrying girls:)0 -

Meggysmom and digs I'm craving big juicy oranges constantly too! I'm at 29 weeks. However my doc tells me I'm having a boy so not sure bout the old wives tales!
I was craving red onion for the first few months. Literally couldn't get enough of the stuff! Thankfully I passed that phase.
Getting pretty nervous as the weeks pass by now. I'm scared I'm gonna have to go through this without my hubby by my side now because he's switching jobs and will be on 3 month probationary period when it's baby popping time
I can't imagine doing this without him and especially while he's on othe other side of the world...
Did anyone get the anti d injection? My husband is a negative and I'm a positive so I'm getting vaccinated this week. Really don't know enough about this stuff.
Also my doc mentioned I have a low positioned placenta. This is stressing me out quite a bit. Anyone else going through this?0 -

Pinkheels ya poor thing, that's lousy bout your hubby! Hope you will have someone close to you with you if hubby has to be away?
I am Rhesus neg and in Ireland anyway it's only women who are neg need the injection as we can produce the antibodies that could affect subsequent pregnancies if baby is positive. Here if the woman is positive she doesn't need the injection regardless of the husbands blood type. Double check with your doc, I wouldn't be happy getting the injection unless absolutely necessary!
I had my 30 week hosp apt today. Have to say I love my consultant, Gerry Agnew, seriously nice man and for all people give out about the public system I have had 3 apts and have seen him each time. SPD is becoming unbearable, I moved in bed on sat night and heard a massive click and pain has seriously stepped up a notch ever since, can barely open the car door. He was brutally honest and said the only thing that will cure it is child birth, end of story. Physio can give good tips etc but generally doesn't help (and not to tell them I said this haha), I had come to that conclusion myself after my last physio apt though. It's nice when someone just tells it as it is, helps you kind of suck it up and get on with it! He said to request crutches though as they can make life a bit easier! I move from couch to bed nowadays, meggysmoms I don't know how you manage the toddler and SPD, hope you're coping ok!
He also got me to do the glucose intolerance test today. Apparently pcos is a risk factor, I hadn't a clue.
I had my glucose test 2 weeks ago. I felt so nauseous after drinking the syrup!
Just noticed I wrote I was rhesus positive in my last post I meant the other way around! I was so angry because the doc I've been seeing all along never mentioned it to me. I read about it online! Just like he didn't mention if I have a low lying placenta it's not safe for me to fly!
I have my family back in Ireland. My mom will be with me if my hubby isn't but every time I think about being away from him through all this I start welling up! 0 -

Ya poor pet, take it easy on youself. I can only imagine how you're feeling, I would hate the thought of not having hubs with me. Will your Mum come out to you or are you coming home to have babs?
I can sympathise with the anger over the rhesus neg. But for I rang the hospital I'm attending to check on my bloods I wouldn't have found out until 24 weeks at my first apt. They say if you have a fall or a bleed to come in straight away for the shot but how would we have known to? Re the placenta, I have no experience myself but my friend had complete placenta praevia and was eventually sectioned as it's safer. I think they only become concerned at about 34-36 weeks and if placenta doesn't move by then you would possibly be sectioned. Has your doc mentioned this or has he been monitoring you with ultrasounds etc?
There is alot to be said for the comforts and familiarity of home. Sorry to hear you're feeling so rotten, I hope thinks start to look up

Nead pain in any shape or form is seriously not fun in pregnancy, hope you are getting the few hours sleep in? Does it relate to the side baby is lying on do you think?
MM - my physio is all about the kegels, he was really firm about doing them and said I'd be thankful afterwards. I am only realising now how much we use the pelvic muscles in day to day life as they are giving me so much pain now. Like opening doors and getting in and out of the car.....tis mad but I have a new found respect for their role in our bodies
We have just had our bedroom and nursery drylined and plastered. Next stop is painting and floors down. I got a lovely wall decal of a tree with owls and animals from the US for babies room which will add a bit of colour as we are painting it cream. We are also in the middle of having our kitchen completely re done, never a dull one and the house is a tip, but will be nice to have the it all done and looking well given I will be home to enjoy it.0 -

yes pinkheels definitly got a lot worse this week and last,pouring gaviscon down my throat to avoid tasting it-ugh I hate it but works,got up twice last weeks during the night and was sick with heartburn....I was the same on previous pregnancy in final weeks,I had it all through labour which made me vomit a lot throughout,my daughter was a bit of a baldy though so I'm not sure about the old wives tale:)Had almost instant relief after delivery so just a few more weeks of buring to go:)
Judging from my half Greek half Arab hubby, I'm pretty sure he's gonna have a thick mane! 0 -
