lol, no I'm only 25 weeks. It was the body parts sticking out that made me

it's when you're in the bath and you see it moving in the water that I found freaky

It must be very strange - just the moving about inside is very weird - but lovely

I've still got two months left to go and the baby seems to be moving about an awful lot.

I just want to ask if it's normal for the baby to be as active as this?

Oh Scatt, I loved the moving!! I really did...before then it's like you're depending on scans and heart monitors to confirm everything's okay...but once they start moving..you know yourself.

When they get bigger you can also play with them...you can run your hand down and depending how they're lying you might get a kick back....ohohohoh or if you shine a light on your belly they usually turn towards it....often I had to turn the lappy off coz the light would get him twirling about ....I've waffled enough...I'll shut up now

How are you getting on Scatt?

Also a quick question - sorry yet again Queen - hijacking your thread What about rings? My rings are getting quite tight now and everybody keeps telling me to take them off whilst I still can - I really don't want to but will if it means they won't have to be cut off. Anybody managed to keep theirs on all the way through?

I haven't ever had to remove my rings but I tended to lose weight during my pregnancies so any water I retained through oedema took me up to my usual hand size if that makes any sense.

If they are getting a bit tight it may be worth removing them now and maybe putting them on a chain around your neck for a few months?

No I didn't make it all the way...though I only made it to 36 weeks in the pregnancy...but it was only that week I think I had to take them off. I put them on a chain so at least I had them with me...but at your next appointment have a look round the waiting room and see how many women are still wearing their rings...I bet there won't be many

OMG, that just made me LOL and reminded me of when I was in labour with my eldest.

The woman in the next room to me was being extremely loud and asking the midwife to make it stop. The midwife I think had had more than enough of her as her pains were not that close together. All I heard was the midwife bellow at her was "that baby is coming out only one way and if you can't take it now, god help you".

By this time I was away with the fairies on gas and air and I couldn't stop laughing, which then caused my midwife to bellow at me to stop laughing because the moniters(sp?) couldn't pick up my Leannes heartbeat.

You're perfectly normal and I would only worry if you could actually make out whether you're having a boy or a girl...
