Well, where do I start?  I arrived early at the hospital and was put straight on the monitor.  The baby's heartbeat is good and strong, however, when I had a contraction type of pain, and the baby's heartbeat dropped a bit!  It stayed low during the pain, but was back to normal afterwards, in fact after the pain he was quite an active little bubs! lol  I also questioned about the scan and what it meant, and the mw dealing with me phoned the consultant and he was there within a couple of minutes to explain it to me.  Now because I have only had the one scan since my 20 week one, they cannot accurately say there is something wrong and won't be able to tell me that until after the next one, he has explained that they will be able to check everything properly on Wednesday.  And if they see it as a problem the next step is talk about induction.  HOwever I lost a couple of shows, which they say is the plug, and the mw said she would be surprised if I made it to my appointment on Monday!  I'm not holding my breath as I know my babies have a way of proving me and medical staff wrong! lol  So my next appointment at the day unit is on Monday, so we will see how things go from here. 

Again it feels like I have been looked after and I'm feeling happier by the day!  So let's hope it carries on like this!

lolol Awww mate, you seem in really good spirits about it all.

I had two inductions without incident.  In fact, they say inductions bring on speedy labours and my two labours were both fast.

Good luck with it all.

His name will be George, but I have called him Winston right the way through pg, and dh has told me it's not going on the birth certificate, so that's why it gets confusing! lol

 I think excited is not quite the wording I'm using at the moment! lol  The little monkey last night decided to rest on a nerve, and after last night's ,eal I have been in agony from the waist up!  Including round my back and into my shoulders, no idea what's causing it, but for the first time this pg, dh had to help me get out of bed this morning, and I daren't sit in a comfy chair!

I'm nervous, considering I've done this 4 times already, I am bricking it! lol  I'm also curious to see what Fred makes of the new baby.  And bless him when the baby belly disappears it's gonna be weird for him, mommy has always had a solid lump to lean on and jump on!  I'll be able to give him a proper cuddle!

I was thinking of putting a weight on the sweepstake, but not sure that I should!  And as for guessing the date, the way I'm feeling it was 4 months back! lol  Although it's been nice going outside during the heatwave and not being too hot! pmsl  I know sounds weird, but the babies always seem to take the heat away from me, so I freeze quicker during pg!
