27 Weeks Pregnancy Update

27 weeks already oh my this pregnancy is going really fast. I dont feel overly big yet but to be honest have not been out much really. We are having work done on the house so have had to stay in with work men. My appetite is weird still I am really hungry then can only eat a really small amount, then I am hungry again. I seem to have a thing for chippy chips too and am indulging when I want to. I know I will regret this when my big diet starts after baby is born
A good friend of mine had her baby on Good Friday a lovely home birth, much to the shock of my friend when he was born he has Downs Syndrome. He is still in hospital having lots of tests on his heart at the moment. I have spent lots of time thinking of him and his Mum. It does really bring home that things can unfortunately sometimes in pregnancy go wrong. I never had the tests for Downs and am beginning to wonder if I should have done? I was so shocked about my friend I just think if It was me I would rather be prepared. ? I never had the tests because of a mess up at the hospital and by the time they realised they had not done the tests then it was too late.
I have not bought anything else for baby yet but have started thinking about packing my labour bag. I think I am going to start when the building work has finished.
I am going to put in from previous Experience >
