Hi Girls,

Hope everyone is well. Welcome back Demelza, looks like you had a great time in Bali. The pic's look great on FB.

I also have a body pillow and i love it. When i turn to one side i have my pillow and then the other side i throw my legs over DH, so I'm comfy either way. Although my hips have started hurting the last couple of days, especially my right side.

I had my GD test done last Thursday and unfortunately the results came back a little high, so i have booked in for the two hour test on Thursday. Just when you think everything is going well, something like this pops up, but it's ok i have to tell myself that things like this happen, we just have to deal with them as they come.

I also had my 4D scan on Saturday and our little mischief maker didn't want to behave. She ...yes at least she confirmed that she is still a she ... lol... was facing my back for most of the time, so we couldn't get a good look at her. Then i was told to go for a walk and get a slurpie to see if she would turn around and get a little active. Came back and she did turn around, but had her hand and foot in front of her face. So we only got to see a little of her face and chubby cheeks. My placenta is also in the front so it made it even more hard to see. But the guy that was doing the u/s was so sweet and patient, we stayed there about 2 hrs and didn't have much luck, so he asked me to come in again this Saturday to see if we can get a better look at her. I hope she behaves and shows us her beautiful face. I had both DH's parents and nona along with my family there.

Take care all.

Not much happening here today!
i feel like my tummy has shrunk again! He must have growth spirts every couple of weeks i recon.

Wow chatty much lol?? Can u all believe we are in or almost in our 3rd trimester!!! Exciting!!

Kaz- I hope ur friend is ok? Let us know how she goes.

Bah! I'm on my I phone and it won't let me scroll down to see all your posts, and I've forgotten what u have all written.. I'll have to go on the computer tonight and do personals..

Afm - well all of a sudden I am getting very very low kicks on my cervix!!! It's very strange!!! Feels like he will kick his way out!! And I am also getting BH nearly constantly this arvo which is making me stress cos they are a little painful.. I've been laying on the couch with a heat bag and also round ligament pain omg it's soooooo bad!!!!

URGH... :( after having such a great day yesterday and feeling fantastic, today of course turns out to be the start of a horrible one.. so sick of feeling like this.. having one good day and then one really emotional crying day :(! I know this is going to sound horrible.. but i want this baby out! so sick of feeling this hormonal and depressed.. it just hits me! i cant control it or anything.. its this huge amount of grief that seems to just smack me in the head when I wake up.. its so dumb..

bring on 39 weeks... i know that sounds really selfish.. but I was the same with tyson.. really down and out during pregnancy had good days and then crap days.. and as soon as I had him i felt fantastic.. i didnt have those baby blues or anything.. I just felt so free again!

its crazy what pregnancy can do i guess!


URGH... DH is coming home early today.. so that will be good.

Hi Mishasmum, while I can't help with baby shower supplies - I can suggest a few baby shower games - that I have seen (and played) at baby showers - both at mine and at friends baby showers....

1) Which Peg game do you know? The one where each guest is given say 5 pegs - and a common rule is given - e.g. if a guest says the word, "coffee" (or crosses their legs or something) during the party - another guest hears it - and can take peg from the person who said the forbidden word? Guest with most pegs at the end - wins....

Or other Peg game - set up a " white folding clothes rack" (approx $15.00 at cheap bargain stores) with say 30 pegs spread out all over it.... each guest (one at a time) is then given a chance to collect as many pegs as they can - in one hand only..... without dropping any.... and in the other hand they are holding a kids dolly to their shoulder (representing a baby in real life ) and a phone to their ear.... the guest who gets the most in one hand without dropping any - wins...

2) "Baby nappy race" - Find 3 kids dolls or teddy bears (approx baby size) from your kids (or cheap shops).... and setup races of "3" guests in a row - who can change a nappy (just grab some disposables) and wrap baby the quickest.... (add certain rules - say one handed or blindfolded etc)

3) "Unwrap the gifts blind folded" - pretty self explanatory - you have to be given a blindfold (and some assistance) to slowly unwrap each gift in front of the group - and guess what each one is....

4) "Memory game" - needs paper and pen for each guest.... for first hour of party - have a "tray set up" with baby things on it - and guests get to look at tray and try and remember everything on it (not writing it down) - e.g. bottle, spoons, bibs, dummy, nappy etc etc...

Later the tray is covered by sheet and everyone has to write down on paper everything they remember - guests who remember the most (and give extra points for detail - colour of item etc) - win...

5) Preprint a list of say 25 words - scrambled baby words and give copy to all guests and a pen - they have to "unscramble" each word...

6) Baby names game - paper and pen - ask everyone to come up with as many baby names as they can using letters from a certain "preset word" - e.g. say "Chocolate" - everyone is given say 3 minutes and has to come up with names starting with "C" and "h" and "o" etc.... most names win...

7) Hand bag game - prewrite a list of things people might have in their hand bag.... and then start calling out things - pen, wallet, keys, phone - etc - and then person with the most things - wins!

8) Ask guests to bring "baby photos" of themselves - and put these up a "notice board" with a "number" on it.... after all arrive - then get guests to try and write out personal list of who they think each baby photo is (e.g. No1) mary no2) Kate No3) Susan etc)... and most to get it at all correct wins....

Hope this helps and gives you some ideas - have a great party!

Hi Ladies,

ohh hayley :( Chin up.. Im with you though.. fastforward the rest of feb/mar/apr and bring on may!!!
Have you ever thought of seeing a psycologist if you think it is more the just hormones and its becoming more of a depression. You dont wont it to turn into PND when bubs is born.. I am back seeing mine once a week and i allways feel heaps better after my sessions with her and more positive.. now i am back seeing her i feel so much more optimistic and i actually get out of the house now other then for work. Its good because i can let things out to her that i wouldnt even talk to anyone about even dp.

Kaz, oh gosh! 27 weeks is soo early.. I hope she has a little fighter on her hands.

Demelza, thats good you got it checked out and all your other obs are good.. sucks you have to put up with the pain.. i was talking to a midwife the other day and she said that sometimes some ladies just have pains throughout there preg they just cant explain and some ladies bleed through-out with no explaination and some contract, like me and there is just no explaination or reasons for it.
Good luck with the glucose testing today.

Sarah, Kicks to the cervix does not sound very pleasant! heat bags are amazing.. i think i might have to drag mine out soon.. although its just too god damn hot in perth atm to use heat treatment thou. Can you freeze the wheat bags or did i just make that up in my head lol.. i swear ive heard it or read it before.

Well, i am feeling very lucky today.. my boss came in at 9am and said that i look like i need to go back to bed and sent me home.. yey!! i did have a **** night sleep last night but i dont feel overly tired. i might just lay off the makeup more often lol. although i am really starting to struggle when the alarm goes of at 4.30am! good practice i guess.

I bought this pregnancy yoga dvd a while ago so i might do some yoga this morning :)..

Hmmm? how did our thread go from 41 pages to 74?

Have we been merged with another month?

**those who are confused**

the two threads were merged together be mistake! not sure if it can be fixed but if it can't be we will set up a new Due IN May thread and I just assume they will delete the pages?!?
