Thanks Cyning
fair play to your mum! Funny that she had an epi for the smallest baby!
I think it's more her size (head & shoulders) that he is concerned about rather than just the weight.
I also think he was just putting it out there so that I can get used to the possibility (in case required) which as I said is fine with me if it's best for us both. The last thing I want is a really tough labour that puts us both in distress (esp the baby)...at the moment I'm happy that they are keeping a close eye on it & will go with what is best for our little one
He warned me that if I had a sweet tooth she would be bigger again (weight wise) so have to watch that :eek: & although I am trying to be careful about it anyway...I so love orange juice at the moment! No glucose in my pee though so body is handling it all so far
I have another appointment in 5 weeks so we will see then 0 -

For anyone looking for a car seat...we were shown the be safe izi go car seat yesterday! Probably going to get this one now
With isofix it gives lots of extra room for a taller baby & gets a which? best buy for just the belted system (something many car seats fail to do with just seatbelt installation).
It fits on several buggy systems via the maxi cosi adapters (list on their site) so your not stuck to buying a maxi cosi car seat which I thought we would be nice to know you can get an alternative! 0 -

Will look into it! Thanks! There is a possibility that we will have a tall baby too as hubby is very tall.
Ginny you have a lovely neat bump! nice to see all the different sizes and shapes we are..
For the people heading to the baby fair this weekend in dublin, i was told to "go early and bring a bag" as you will get loads of free samples!!
Cant wait to hear all about it, its not in cork until the following weekend...but we are going to do buggy research this weekend, so hopefully we can finally make a decision on that!0 -
Thanks for that tip Silly...wouldn't have thought to bring a bag!
Re the car seat...the isofix base can move away from the car allowing for the extra leg room. Looked really good & should fit our car - something the maxi cosi isofix didn't despite us having isofix! It's made by the Scandinavians - need I say more 0 -

Go you cyning! That's great
I get the pubic bone pain too, especially if I'm turning over in the bed. Feels like the bone is separating.
Boyfriend is having some tests in hospital today...ive been on the edge of my nerves all day
he packed an overnight bag in case something shows up and they need to keep him. I'm praying so hard that won't happen, don't think I cld do a whole day in work then drive for an hour to the hospital and not get back home till 10pm again and be up for work the next morning. It was hard enough when I wasn't pregnant! 0 -

Her (over 90% sure on that now) femur is two weeks ahead of schedule so she is going to be tall! He put her measurements on a little chart thing with small, average & big & her legs are above the big line :eek:
Although they don't yet predict weight officially, if she was to stay on average (she's always been about a week ahead) she will be at least an 8lb baby but I got the impression with her long legs he is expecting her to be (a good bit) more than that & she might have to come out the window as I'm just 5' 4" ish!
To be honest, I don't mind if that's how it needs to be as I just want to get her here safely
My sis is quite tall (5' 9/10) as is the dad of her baby and the baby came out very long. He's been tall for his age ever since, always looks a yr or two older so I reckon he'll be tall too. Now you can tell me to feck off and mind my own business but do you know if the baby's dad is tall or was it anonymous, ie donor? If he's reasonably tall then yeah sounds like she's going to be a long babs. In that case I wouldn't bother with any newborn clothes, go straight to 0-3mths stuff and don;t even get much of that as she'll tear out of them - as happened with my nephew.
My OH is not so tall (he's an inch or two shorter than me) and his family are all tiny. My family are all tall so I don't know what we're going to get!For the people heading to the baby fair this weekend in dublin, i was told to "go early and bring a bag" as you will get loads of free samples!!

Thanks for the tip, I've been looking forward to it all week. Plan on having a big breakfast before we go so we don't succumb to queuing for hours for overpriced food at the venue.Anyone else get a letter from the hospital saying their iron is low and to start taking Galfer twice a day, which I did, but it has only gone up to 10.5 in a month!
I am also finding that I am getting very caught for breath. I am on a front reception desk at work and I have to keep standing up to stretch myself out to catch my breath - getting kind of embarassing in front of customers!
Haven't had the iron letter. I got galfer tablets off my own bat a month or so ago and was taking one every other day but it was making my number 2's black (sorry re tmi). There's some iron in the prenatal vits and I get it in my regular foods so midwife didn't seem concerned. However if you were told to take it then do obviously.
I get really out of breath a lot. I feel like I sound like an elderly or seriously obese woman the way I huff and puff around the place.0 -

Tinkerbell I was convinced that I had a kidney infection earlier on in the pregnancy... but mine were all clear too. Baby lies "blocking" me from going to the loo if you know what I mean but when I lie down it helps. Try a hot water bottle on your back and plenty of cranberry juice etc: there is nothing worse than a kidney infection if your not pregnant let alone if you are pregnant.
Babs is lying straight across my belly today so I'm getting punches on one side and kicks on the other.
My hubby 6 foot and I'm 5"3... I don't know I'm just convinced I'll have a big baby!
Kildareash hope your boyf is okay... esp when ye've been in and out of hosp so much in the past :mad:
My hubby has to go back working Saturdays for awhile and I am gutted. He's a chef he only has his current job for 15 months: before that he worked every evening and weekend so it feels like such a step backwards for him to have to go work Saturdays. But our savings were decimated thanks to me (okay i know i couldn't help been sick but that is not the point), and we just need it for a little while. And I know we are so lucky that he has the option to do that, and that he has a secure job, and that work are keeping my job for me, but right now all I see is him working 6 days a week :mad:
I've got to say my iron levels have gone up so much since I got pregnant: lack of horrendous pms my doc thinks
Actually wahoo there's another big positive in being pregnant!! 0 -

Yeah, Boyf wasn't kept in might just have to go back on meds, so it's the best result we cld have hoped for. Although he's grumpy as hell after the sedation, he will be lucky if I don't bring him back and just leave him at the hospit door tonight!!!!
Mink, hope the rest helps ur back. Nothing worse than feeling so helpless.
Cyning, I feel so bad for you. It'll be hard on both of ye only having one day a week off together. Try and make plans with ur friends to call over for the first few Saturdays for "girlie days" face masks and chick flicks might take the edge off it. I know how u feel tho, and it must be even more difficult when ur not well and can't fill that time with other stuff.0 -

My husband swears point blank the next time they bring me in for a test there is no way I'm coming home if they've sedated me: apparently I'm intolerable!!! Ear plugs:p 0 -

Thanks Java and Tink - i was just about to start my list!
Twiddling my thumbs until hubby gets home now!
One of my apps tells me I am in the 3rd trimester - the other still says 2nd (I'm 27+1), so I'm a bit confused. But I saw my belly move for the first time today - and spent the next 30 minutes staring at my bump 0
