Congrats UltraCas! :) I'm still running at the moment (32 weeks)but i slowed it down from early on, even though I felt OK. Now I just can't help but be slow!

Congratulations!
The header is filling up again :-)

I ran to feel, rather than heart rate. I don't heart rate train normally so didn't know what my 'normal' was anyway. I found I couldn't push very hard anyway - anything more than a 7 effort wise made me feel sick. I just listened to my body.

I ran up until 34 weeks when it just became impossible. I was only a little slower than normal up until about 4 months and then I got slow fast!

A very belated congratulations to you Oysterboy! How are you doing with your breastfeeding? I was never good at fixing the issues we had early on about breastfeeding and I think my baby felt that and responded to it.

Congratulations to NBFS and UltraCas!!! All these babies are making me broody again.

I am beginning to see the upside to all the gynae problems I have had in the past as I got an extra scan at six weeks to check my pregnancy wasn't ectopic and today I had to have my cervix checked and got an unexpected extra scan to see Piglet and heard the heartbeat too :)

I was quite stressed about what was going to happen at work while I'm off on mat leave as my deputy has just been poached by another team but I found out last week that if she hadn't gone voluntarily I'd have been making her redundant this week - eek! So my new approach is pragmatism - I cannot do her job and mine so I will prioritise what's important and ditch the rest. I think approach will serve me well in the next few months.

*Waves* to Suzy...don't suppose you remember me but we met very briefly years ago at an ORR club night. I changed jobs so never actually got round to joining but if you're still living in the same place, I'm not far away.

Excellent news to everyone! I'm still here. K is struggling, but they've seen her at the hospital now and referred her to the specialist to see if they can make it all a little bit more comfortable. She had a lovely time with me and the boy in Amsterdam, but haa awful pain with any time she tries to walk, now.

Still a fair way to go, too. 12 weeks?

A colleague of mine just became a granddad. It was hellish, apparently. He wants to talk about it, but I can't beat listening.

Morning all. Had a scan yesterday to check the growth of the twins...I've been having these every two weeks since December, when they discovered Squeak was a bit titchy.

Anyway, in previous scans, things have been going well...Pip's growth was slowing & Squeak's was ramping up. All moving in the right direction.

And then at yesterday's scan, it all went a bit pear-shaped again. In the past two weeks, Pip has gained >500g (1lb in old money), whereas Squeak has put on less than half that.

The result of this is now monitoring every second day: Friday, Monday, another scan Wednesday and then I will be induced next Friday, 19th Feb. I *should* still be OK for a natural birth as they're both head down, although neither is engaged yet.

I'd quite like to avoid being induced, so does anyone

...have any bright ideas as to how I can encourage this as much as possible?

So far, I have:
- raspberry leaf tea (started drinking it)
- acupuncture (will call someone today)

(Prematurely hit submit on my phone keypad in that last post)
