I've just been for my 36 week idwife check and all is well, I'm measuring at 40 weeks now so 4 weeks ahead but when she actually felt bubs she said he didn't feel huge and it may be mostly waters. I asked about all my pains and the regularity of them and she said it is normal to experience more discomfort the more children you've had so with this being my 5th it explains a lot but as the pains are so strong it may be that he's not too far away and my body is making the final preparations.

She was going to put me onto weekly visits but said because bubs is doing so well and very active and the fact that I'm struggling with my SPD she'll make the next visit in 2 weeks but to contact her if I feel I need to see her.

NO you cant have him on July the 14th - I'm on holiday!

So either get him out before the 10th or wait until the 16th!

Glad all is well though, I am coming out in sympathy with the SPD pains for you! Take it easy for now!

Hehe, all take your guess on the date and weight but no one dare say anything after the 27th of this month, lol. My previous babies were born at 38, 34, 39 and 38 weeks and yes, this little fidget is going to be called 'Billy'

25 days to go and still counting!
