I'm a Suffolk girl, 21 weeks with no.5!!! Hope you're keeping ok and the heat isn't making any morning sickness worse.
Is this your first baby? Which hospital will you be having the baby? I'll be having an el/cs at Ipswich in Nov.
Take care

Hope you're managing to take it easy, not always that simple with a little one to look after. My other 4 pregnancies were ok, although suffered with SPD & high BP with 1st, but put BP down to stressful job. Since having Connor 8 years ago I became a stay at home mum. We moved to Suffolk nearly 6 years ago, my husband is originally from Felixstowe, we now live in Woodbridge. I had both my daughters by elective c-section at Ipswich was a very different experience tot he 2 emergancy cs in Bucks. I am very impressed with Ipswich hopital, what's the West Suffolk one like?
As for this pregnancy so far so good, although suffering from back pain alot but its school hols after Friday which will be great as I can have a rest! I know that sounds silly as I'll have all 4 children at home all day but at least there's no rushing about and no school runs...I really wish I could drive!!
Had my 20 week scan last Fri, another girl. I've got another scan on 8 Sept as this will be 5th c-section, then probably fornightly scans and consultant plans to deliver baby between weeks 37 & 38.
I hope your cramps are easing and that the next 4 or so weeks pass quickly so that you are out of the danger zone.

A lot of mums i know are glad when the hols come, they dont have to rush about for school either, i have all that fun to come!! Got MW coming on Monday, so hopefully she will have a heart monitor with her to put my mind at rest!! Sammy xx
hope you are all feeling ok this lovely hot(ahhh!) sunny morning. I'm feeling really dizzy this morning, keep having to sit down - not good on 1st day of hols.
Great to hear I'm not the only one expecting no.5. HOw did pepole react when you told them you were expecting no.5?? I've had mixed reactions from 'are you crazy?' to 'I feel quite envious' !
Sassy Sammy I hope all goes well with the mw today. You're right it is better apparently the more sick you feel so fingers crossed and jsut remember it's all worth it. I bet you can't believe how your expanding already. I'm still ina mixture of norm & maternity, thanks to my big hips and smaller waist I have to buy bigger size skirts normally so they still fit round my bump, but not for much longer as I suddenly seem to have expanded!!!
Claire I'm from Woodbridge, for now, as we're trying to find a new house as we've definately outgrown this one now!
Take care all of you

Midwife went really well today, got to have a scan though as i have been spotting, just to put my mind at ease as i had m/c in March. Hope everyone is coping well, Sammy xx
Please mw went well sassysammy. Try and relax, i'm sure everything will be fine but I can understand your fears. Camomille tea is great for relaxing. As for Raspberry leaf tea dizzygund have you tried Holland & Barret, I'm sure there is one in Ipswich, or try any other health food shops. I think you're only meant to have 1 or 2 cups a day but I'm sure it will say on the packet! Also it's known to make labour shorter so be prepared!! The only other options to bring on labour I know of are hot curries and lots of sex, probably the last thing you want right now!!!! I hope it all starts soon for you as I remember what its like to have a baby in the Summer as Jack (no.2) birthday is the end of August.
Stay well all of you & take care
Zoe

You must be feeling miserable at the moment & I could probably tell you to stay positive a million times but I know that it would still be hard to do so. I will continue to keep my fingers crossed.
Thinking of you, take care
