Oh stop appledrop I know, cannot get that poor woman in Buncrana out of my head, what she must be going through. And those poor people, to be so terrified yourself and know your wee ones are suffering in the back, I just can't even go there. Lots of extra hugs for my girl this week.
As for Belgium? I just don't know, it's a scarey place we are bringing our children into
Your consultant can sign the forms instead of the GP alright

Hi Ladies,
How's everyone doing? I had my28 week appointment last week, all going well, the wee monkey was beech at the time but that's minor detail at this stage. Trying to get hubby on board to organise things, will get baby clothes out and wash ready for packing my bags. Can't believe down to last ten weeks in work & that's only if I don't need to go early.
Hope everyone had lovely Easter 0 -

I've gotten really paranoid about going early, It's even affecting my dreams.
We picked up a second hand double buggy yesterday too but the cot mattress we had ordered from Mammas and Pappas has been cancelled for some reason. They left a message yesterday so I must call them to see what the story is with it.
Baby's room is a mess but at least it's been started on. Have lots of clothes ready too and have sorted out someone to mind per daughter when D day comes.0 -
We have most things ready to go. Have the co sleeper, double buggy and my husband picked up a buddy board for #1 for our bugaboo at the weekend. Just a sling to pick up now. I also have boxes and boxes of barely worn lovely clothes from number one so this baby wants for nothing!
My husband is in the process of doing up the large back bedroom for our daughter so we can move her from the nursery. Have to say it's turning out gorgeous, am loving decorating it. We got a bunk bed too, having two girls is working out well, they can share in a few years if it suits them! L is getting very excited about her big girls room, we'll probably move her in the next few weeks and then spruce up the nursery with a lick of paint.
Aside from that I have a breast feeding consultation coming up with Sue Jameson, really looking forward to it, have a few kinks to work out from baby number one.
Also turns out no GD here, the midwives and consultant held no weight with my daughters weight, she was just shy of 9lbs at 42 weeks, apparently it's not rocket science, once they go past 40 weeks they are just sitting in there putting on weight which can be the guts of a pound a week!!! So she most likely would have been very average weight if born at term. She was a pound lighter leaving the hospital so she literally was just sitting in there pickling Midwife commented last week how neat and tidy I was for 28 weeks so I'd say we have another long skinny baba on the way.
This little lady is kicking the living daylights out of me, she gets hiccups all the time too, I don't think she stopped to take a breath at all last night. Daughter number one was sick last night so not much sleep had but I think number 2 was set on keeping me awake anyway 0 -

It is nice not to have lots of things to get with the second one isn't it? I get lots of " you're so neat" comments too which amuse me a bit. I know people are being nice and it's far far from the worst thing anyone could say to a pregnant woman but I do think to myself " if I was bigger would I have messy bump?"
Had acupuncture this morning which was lovely. Had a lovely little nap and relaxing hour and as per usual the little one was tumbling away like he belongs in Cirque de Soliel. When the kicks and movements aren't sore and sharp I do like them a lot and it's one thing I really do miss about being pregnant after they're born. It's a special mum and baby thing that I love.0 -
Haha true penny! I suppose the two things I hate people saying to pregnant women is A) you're so tiny
you're absolutely huge. Neat I think is a way of getting around saying the word small, which can induce a bit of worry, no more than the opposite big can! A straight forward wow you look lovely will do
I had acupuncture on number one also at a stage I wasn't getting much sleep and it was so lovely, I was so nice and snoozy after it.
Definitely lovely to have the few bits together already, I am so relaxed this time. We've even booked a trip to Italy for sept when baby is around 2/3 months and also we've booked flights to the states for Christmas to see my brother and his family. Baring in mind we'll have my folks and some of my sisters etc on each trip but I'm definitely so much more confident this time round really looking forward to June and this little arrival. 0 -

Oh penny I hope you go early or it'll be a loooong pregnancy for ya otherwise if you've convinced yourself
All grand here, dropped to a three day week, was either that or be signed off completely, pelvis is in a jock. Developed the weirdest tailbone ache this week too, very uncomfortable to sit! Only three more weeks to suffer in work for me and I'm done, can't wait! To be honest it's the getting in and out that's bothering me more so than the actual work.
I'm actually sleeping really well which is brilliant!
Having trouble with names, my husband came up with daughter number ones name which luckily I loved so he keeps saying he's happy for me to pick this one, obviously I wouldn't pick something he hated. I have no idea, think I'll be going to the hospital with a list of about 8 names whereas number one was named before she was born! Typical I have a definite boys name in my head, no girls.0 -

That sounds like your coccyx thats troubling you. I only say it with such certainty because I broke mine a few years ago (it was hideious, I broke it right off and I still can't think about it without shuddering). Thankfully it didn't trouble me on my last pregnancy and it only bothered me a bit this time around. I was advised that when it came to labour and actual delivery that it would put less pressure on the coccyx if I lay on my side (if you're having an epi that is otherwise you have a lot of options re: position open to you). Anyway I had my epi last time out and lay on my side and had no trouble with the coccyx as a result.
Its great that you're sleeping well. I am too actually which is surprising me I must admit. I obviously got the pillow arrangement sorted out well.0 -
Thanks penny, yeah it's the weirdest thing, it's not a pain or an ache, more like a tenderness when I sit on it, as if it's swollen or something. Grand lying down, just sitting! The joys of it! And yikes that accident you had sounds nasty!!
Getting good sleep is amazing and loooooong may it last! Pillow forts for the win 0 -

My husband has just finished a long long project at work that came right on the heels of finishing his MSc and he has complained of the same symptoms and said it hurts to sit down too. All of the extra pressure on your coccyx causes it- for us while pregnant for him it's because he has spent months sitting down it would seem.
I found doing gentle squats helped alleviate the pressure as did rolling on my side and pushing up with my arm when I had to get out of bed or a lying position. It puts less pressure on your tailbone than trying to sit up directly. Granted at this stage of your pregnancy you probably can't sit straight up anymore anyway, I know I haven't been able to bend like that for weeks now :-)
You know that accident where I broke it was the worst thing that has ever ever happened and I say that having been in a serious car accident at 19, developed RA and given birth. The pain was intense and lasted for a full year. I'm really pretty hard core about pain and tolerating a lot but the fact that you sit on a broken bone with that injury and you can't isolate it or cast it up until it heals made every single thing hurt. I was wondering if giving birth would be better or worse than breaking it and now that I've done both I'd give birth anytime over breaking it again.0 -
I actually dont know what way to be sitting anymore, work is torture! Pelvis dictates I need to sit straight, tailbone means I can't and need to try sit more on one bum cheek, pelvis doesn't like this and baby who has her head stuck in my ribs would like me to recline! I'm huffing and puffing and changing positions like goodo with all the grace of a baby elephant and I'm walking like John Wayne. My colleague who's never had kids is getting a great kick out of me
Funny you mention squats, I've been doing classes with the bump room my physio recommended, they are absolutely fantastic, a girl who is a physiotherapist in the rotunda runs them. When she first mentioned squats I was like wtf no way but they really help! Granted there are a few exercises I can't do with the spd but the rest of them are lovely. Also have my bouncy ball back in the living room and am enjoying hanging out on that!
If this discomfort in my coccyx is anything to go by I don't know how you endured breaking yours, you poor thing, it sounds unreal!0 -

A donut cushion will help. The only seats I found tolerable while my injury was healing was either the toilet (I kid you not, its just a round ring with no pressure applied anywhere to your undercarriage - yes there are things that are JUST as sexy as pregnancy:p) or the donut cushion when I finally admitted that I needed something.0 -

Ah shivers sorry to hear that! You're a better woman than me managing to stand all day. Pain in the bum about GD, I suppose you know the drill this time. At least with the elective section you're all set and can plan things much better with your other little one. You can start a proper countdown now
Penny my Mam mentioned that cushion to me last night, I must check it out. My poor boss will die with the unholy mortifying shame of it but he'll live.
Karma got me after my smugness on the good sleep front and was in agony last night, like you shivers I'm up two to three times a night with the loo now but there was no getting back to sleep last night for me! Hoping it was a fluke. We're definitely in 3rd trimester discomfort territory now!0 -

What is with the June babies all being the wrong way round?? Monkeys! Daughter number one didn't move her butt the right direction till she was 36 weeks and then she didn't actually engage until labour so I've a feeling I'll be the same this time.
Shivers I don't think I'll be doing to the show but interested to hear how you get on. I'm keeping movement to the minimum with my spd and aside from that I'm trying to clear the house out, if I bring anything else into it I think my husband will have a melt down 0
