I have exactly 8 weeks till my baby is due.... Once baby is out..... I can start back on my amytriptaline and naproxen and also my pregnancy hormones won't be there to keep all my muscles and ligaments relaxed so they can support me better and my pelvis will begin to go back to normal. :) I must say this has been an experience and a half and is more than likely going to result in no more children! :(
I am so excited to meet my baby and it has all been worth it, but I am almost very excited to get back to what used to be normal for me :)

    I actually remember that feeling, Mel, although it was 38 years ago. The last month was a ****, I loved him and his brother dearly (and still do) but there was never, ever going to be another 9 months like that :lol:

    Please let us know when (s)he is born. I hope it all goes quickly and well.

    Hi Merylmax

    I agree he/she will be SO worth it :D But you need your own health sorted too :? I can quite understand you only wanting one child!

    8 weeks....That'll be before Christmas! In fact sometime in the middle of November?? I am so exited for you :)

    Love and gentle hugs for you in the meantime

    I have already got 2, I didn't think it would be this bad as the other 2 were ok (they were before I was diagnosed) due 8th nov :)

    Ooooh, another baby on the way. Do you know what you're having? My daughter was due yesterday and has been cleaning and sorting out cupboards like mad the last few days. She is 70% sure she's having a girl. They couldn't quite see properly on the scan.

    Congratulations on your chunky girl applerose :). No not a clue of what I am having, my husband thinks he saw a willy (but that was when the sonographer was scanning over the head) odd are it will be a boy... Everyone else is having girls so I'll even out the population ;) X

    Interesting, mel. Will you be serving an eviction order, getting the bailiffs in or (aaaargh) using a battering ram. Proceed with caution, I think. And please let us know once the eviction is successful.

    It's dragging like a ball and chain! I will be Serving an eviction notice! A few of the things I can't do like hot curry/castor oil- I can't run to the loo! Doing the deed is just impossible lol so have bought myself some clary sage oil for massage as that is meant to help and evening primrose oil capsules. And my obstetrician has wrote for me to have a sweep at 38 weeks!

    Not long now then. Hope things haven't been too bad for you. Do you think baby will take any notice of the eviction order? I hope so, so you can get back to normal.
