Hi Everyone, Just thought I would let you know that I have been to the hospital today for my 35wks growth scan. They say everything seems to be ok at present, they say that the baby doesn't have much room to move. They advised me that the baby is a big baby and bigger then average, I asked what they ment there comments was big in general body and long legs. I asked if I would be able to have a chance of borning the baby natural. They said they would recommend me to have an epidural and I can then try to born natural but if they think its going to be to much they will do a c section on me. I think deep down this is what I will have to have because I don't think I will be able to do it naturally. They have given me a rough weight of the baby and at present it weighs in at 6lb 7oz so it is already a good weight. I am now due to go for another scan at 38wks on the 09th Jan, but to be honest I can't see myself going that far. Take Care Love Shell. 35wks 1d pg xx

Hi Shell, Nice to hear from you - wow that's a biggun - deffo opt for the section as your downstairs might never be the same if you try to push that size out - might be 10lbs by the time you deliver (and that's a bag of potatoes!!!). The good thing is that they're happy with the baby healthwise. I have just read somewhere that each day from 30 weeks onwards the baby puts on an ounce in weight each day. Best of luck, love Sally xx

Hi All, Thanks for your kind messages its lovely to know you care (bless ya all) Phil - I am hoping to start resting now, I have got all my Christmas presents, also done my food shopping so I Think I do need to sit back now and chill out, hope your well. Diane30 - I would of loved to of known what I was having but to be honest I went all through IVF and I thought it would be nice to have a surprise so no we don't have a clue. Lee thinks I am having a boy but I think I am having a girl but to be honest I really do not mind and I don't have that long to find out. How are you? I have now added you to the rollcall list, it won't be long for you now will it? Are you feeling ok in yourself? Sally - I have posted on your other thread but I just wanted to answer you here as well. The baby is big so can you imagine what size it will be when I go back again for my 38wks scan. I really do not think I will go to 38wks but to be honest I am quite surprised I have gone this far. How are you? howz baby? I wish you all the luck in the world, and hope leaving on the 23rd is ok for you, I was so emotional but I'm one of these people who can cry at adverts. Anyway folks, think I have gone on enough. Merry Christmas. Love Shell. 35wks 4d pg xx

Hi Shell, Just seen your other thread - wonder if he or she's on their way now??? If there's not much room in your uterus perhaps he or she's ready now at nearly 36 weeks - at least he or she will be big enough to be well developed and able to keep him or herself warm. Please keep us posted with ANY developments. I am feeling fine thanks, although sometimes I feel really heavy when I stand up - must be all the weight. Apart from that and the old pelvic floor not being what it was (wee - wise!) I'm fine thanks. I'll know on New year's eve at my 34/35 week scan whether the placenta has moved up - if so will have section on 10th Feb, if not, will be admitted to hosp and the'll do section mid Jan. People I know vaguely through work have already given me some beautifiul flowers and a present for the baby so I'm already feeling quite sad - it's such a huge change isn't it! Let me know how I can text/call you on your mobile so we can keep in touch. I can put my phone number on but is there a secure area to do it? Diane - you are so strong, what a horrid DH and what a difficult time you must have had. It sounds like you're really sorted and strong and you'll be a wonderful mum. I hope everything goes well for you. Merry Christmas to all! Love Sally xxxx
