Hi all,

Scan went fine yesterday. The baby is the right size at the mo its about 5 1/2-6lb and they think by the time its born it should be about 8-8 1/2lb!!! which is brill.
Got another pic as well which im really pleased about and on the screen the baby's mouth was moving and everything, it was amazing.

Hope everyone else is ok xx

Hi everyone, hope you don't mind me joining your nice group. I'm 33 weeks. I have to go for a growth scan next week as I'm measuring small actually I'm tiny but midwife isn't worried and said my baby will prob be born 6Ib and the scan it is just routine, yummymummy2b you have a lovely big bump what did they do at the scan I'm nervous.

Hi Bristol,

Im suffering with high blood pressure at the mo and people who have high bp's tend to have smaller babies because the placenta doesnt work properly so thats why i had the scan. im 35wks but measuring at 33 so they just wanted to check cos i was admitted to hospital last week cos at one point my bp went really high. dont be neverous im sure ur baby is fine hun. when is it? let us know how u got on wont u? feel free to ask anymore questions hun, love ella xx

Hi Ella

Thanks for your message Hope you are keeping relaxed for your blood pressure when you went into hospital did they put you in the maternity ward?. I've been measuring small through out, have really low blood pressure and anemia and had 3 months of severe morning sickness, and a very demanding job not sure if that is why?. My OH was only 6lb when born so maybe that is why also. I've just been to B&Q to by some paint for the nursery and the women on the till couldn't believe me when I said I was 33 weeks I just smile but I do get a bit upset I don't care if baby is small l just want it to be ok. It took me a while to conceive and if anything was to go wrong I really do not know what I would do. Scan is on Thursday. You don't have long to go will they make you have your baby early?

hiya,

yeah i went on the maternity ward for 24hrs, it wasnt too bad actually they put all the mums-to-be at one end and all the new mums and babies at the other. i had a really demanding job as well and was being bullied by the staff so suffered with stress and left when i was 20wks so i think thats had something to do with my probs, perhaps thats why ur feeling low at the mo. im sure ur baby is fine but its nice to be reasurred by the scan and they are doing it quite early on so if there is any probs they can sort it out sooner rather than later.

at the mo by blood pressure is staying at around the 150/90 point and i havent got any protein or anything. they will only deliver early if the bottom number goes over 100 and i start having protein in my sample. im being checked my mw everyother day so im just taking it as it comes at the mo.

what colour are u going to paint the babys room.....we have done lemon and mint green with a winnie the pooh border.

do u know the sex of the baby? we didnt find out wanted it to be a surprise.
take care love ella

Hey all u lovely Plymouth mummies and mummys to be. Hope u r all keeping well.

Ella, glad the scan went well hun. Your nursery sounds lovely x

Bristol, Hiya hun. how u doin? Hope your scan goes well. What is your due date? Im being induced on 13th July. Im having twin girls and I cant wait now! x

Leanne my chic hows u and Rubes? Was great 2 catch up with u the other day. Musnt leave it so long next time. Have u heard any news on when the M&B Tavistock meet is gonna be? x

Hello.

Ella - No need for a hospital tour for you then LOL! I have a tour on Thursday night, so next Thursday will be a real baby day for me what with scan in the morning, parent craft in the afternoon (real nappies and car seats is the session) and then hospital tour in the evening. Sorry you had to leave work early you shouldn't have been put in that position, I wish I'd taken some more time out rather than be a workhorse think it is finally hitting me that when it comes to it work it really doesn't matter and baby comes first! I'm going to take tomorrow off sick as I have a cold usually I'd struggle through but I just can't shift it. My OH is painting the room as I type an off white v. pale green colour as we don't know sex yet although I'm convinced its a girl. Had not thought of borders I had the muppets when I was little not just a border the whole room it was rather scary LOL. We've been watching the 24 box set this weekend really good although I wouldn't recommend it as it may take your bottom number over 100 it's edge of the sofa stuff! So are you having to wee in a pot every other day I always fill it right up apparently they only need a drop?

Laura - I'm due on Friday 17 August but have a feeling it will be late. You are so lucky to be having twins although worrying about 2 little ones inside me I would probably gone mad by now, can you feel how they are lying, I can make out my babies back and feet it's been head down for a while now. Are they identical? Boys or Girls? How many weeks will you be on 13 July?

Hi all.
Thanks laura, me and my chap have spent the day sorting it out the babys room and finishing it off and its finally finished yeay!!! xx

Bristol, no we've decided not to do the hospital tour cos i think ive seen all the ward now lol. wow really are having a baby day on thursday!! sounds good tho. in a way im quite pleased i left work so early even tho it was stressful at the time. i worked with adults with learning disabitiles and they where quite violent so not sure now much longer i could have done it anyway. when are u going to start you maternity leave?
think ur right about 24 lol altho i have been watching rather alot of horro films at the mo so maybe thats whats doing it. my chap doesnt like my watching them cos im really jumpy and he thinks its gonna make my waters break lol.
yeah i have to do the whole weeing in the pot thing as well. when she came today its 144/88 so its not too bad for me anyway. hoping it will stay around that way no. dont mind it going up when i get to 37wks cos then the baby is full term.
ur nursery sounds lovely.
hope u feel better soon xx
