No advice, but I am the same! Just started with the insomnia too. Sigh!Quote:

AFM my big scan is in 1 week. Hoping like mad no doodle grew in the past few weeks. Haha
I suffer with restless legs too. I did in my last pregnancy as well. Anyway I read that eating two bananas before bed helps, and its does a bit.Quote:

Restless legs syndrome is like some kind of torture, I so sympathise!
Charlee, been thinking of you. No-one should have to go through what you have, it's so unfair! I really hope that everything is okay for now with your cervix. You're one strong lady & I hope that you have plenty of support irl. We're always here for you x x x
Niva, glad that baby's doing well - gorgeous pic! I really hope that your placenta rises nicely for you. I think that envelope would give me no peace until I opened it. GL!
HappyPixi, are you working full-time? Hope you're getting plenty of rest! How long is now until you find out the gender?
Ladybugs, I pm'd you but you know that you're in my thoughts. I'm keeping everything crossed for you & your darling girl. x x
Meeks, how's your work going? It sounds as if you're one busy lady too! Hope you get time for rest too & pg niggles aren't giving you too many restless nights.
Emily, I think your decision sounds very wise. Will you use the NHS? That time apart from your family will be hard but will quickly become a distant memory once you're back together & completed by your little girl.
Bunnywabbit, I really hope that you have a sticky bfp VERY soon! It must be so frustrating for you. Big hugs x x
Myrainbowgirl, glad everything's going well for you. At least you can enjoy your big US without the dread of hearing pink/blue hanging over you. I know you'll just adore every minute of seeing your special little man! Does everyone irl know about him or will you tell after your US?
Tree, thanks for the advice. Sorry to hear that you have RLS too! I've never had it before, urgh. You're very lucky having your DH do that every night. Last night I was wishing that my DH was on night shift so that I wasn't keeping him awake with my tossing & turning. I felt so guilty when he had to get up early this morning with next to no sleep. He was very sweet about it though & told me it wasn't my fault.
Hope I haven't missed anyone out!
Thanks for the responses re. the restless legs issue I had last night. I sat up until nearly 2am and my legs were still driving me mad! I finally fell asleep & my legs feel like I've been running this morning. I shall try eating bananas - I'll try anything!! I know it really doesn't help that I've been busy helping DH pack up our house over the last week or so. We're hoping to move on 11th October now. After a very long summer of being messed around by buyers we're now further down the line with this set than the last 2. The only problem is that I'll be 32 weeks when we move & we have to decorate each bedroom before we move in. We'll stay with my parents for a week or so, but I'm just desperate to be settled & start nesting! I'm going to make a start here by washing all the little baby clothes & packing them away in a suitcase with nappies etc - kind of like a portable wardrobe/hopsital bag just in case this one decides to join us earlier rather than later. I don't think he will but with one ds born at 30 weeks & one at 40 I have to be prepared! I haven't stopped & have been getting a few BH a day which I never had with either ds. My midwife thought it was a good sign that my body's preparing & good news for a vba2c. I really hope so. I feel so much stronger with this pg & am a lot more confident that my body will do as it's supposed to. I really hope I'm right! :)
Quick update.....
Although I did not see the doctor I will tomorrow at the appt, the echo went well...."indistinguishable from normal"!!!!!! And the left kidney still looks good, but the right kidney has obvious big cysts on the top....and the bladder was making them puzzled. Don't think it is a big deal, but not sure yet :)
I will be happy tomorrow to hear similar words from those doctors....just a matter of chilling out and waiting.
Sounding good bug!
Dream I moved last pregnancy, I so wanted tone settled, no where near! Lou was ten days early and my planned homebirth got shelved due to lack of curtains and furnishing lol!
I am working two nights a week now, cannot wait to leave - 22nd December, counting the shifts!
I know this is a bit mental, but I'm wavering on finding out the gender, because of a dream! I dreamt I told everyone it was a boy, and I was fine with it, excited! And now I've started feeling the little flippy flappy fish movements, it's feeling less and less important! I'm going to see how I feel on the day, but it's not til 23rd October so got a while to change my mind again!
My SIL will be finding out what she's having, that may influence me but I defo want her to find out first!
Today was not exactly as I would have planned it...lol, I got lost on the walk, gave a few extra miles on my legs and had to run part of the way. I am so sore thanks to that...I was just lucky with how late they were with the appts.
The first appt. was a blow...we had been talking VBAC/hometown, now because they want a pediatrician to assess in the first 24 hours, I should be delivering her in the "big city" about an hour away. The problem I see is winter weather....and the scary side of it if that is when I begin labour and if I can get there in time. It would be safer to be in my own hospital with what is needed than on the highway!!
That specialist would not listen to any of my concerns, told me what she felt I needed to "know" to be "informed" and then waltzed out of the room. Talk about not making it any easier...I at least have a week before my visit with my MD to get a feel on all of this.
The second appt basically stated what I already know....and for the hours of waiting, vs 10 mins being seen made for a less than fruitful visit. But he was nice and considerate....liked his approach! And he did let me know a little more of the long term part of the upper pole in terms of options like surgery vs. monitoring. The best news of the day is that my next scan takes place in the "big" city an hour away at 33 weeks...just as I am on mat. leave! Makes for a much better time than being away from my boys for 5 days at a time. :)
Now just for a day on the road tomorrow and home to my boys!! I can't wait to snuggle them!!!
Good news, Ladybugs! Sorry for the logistical complications, though, and the unhelpful doctors. But at the end of the day, it sounds like they all expect your little one will be with you safe and sound one way or another. :)
