I have found over the past few weeks as the baby has moved head down and putting a lot of pressure on my pubic bone that a massage above the bone at night with some oil is really helping to ease the pain!!!

I have had DH do it on particularly achy days and it really does work to take the pain away. It also helps me cope better with my house work the day after.

I had an U/S yesterday which confirmed Matilda is now head down...mm although my bladder is in shock LOL.

We love it too, it's very Australian!!!

We want it to be actually Matilda Jessica, because both names are quite Australian sounding. I really feel her name being right for her because she is always 'WALTZING" inside me oh LOL you probably don't even know the song Waltzing Matilda do you?

I know it! Learned it in elementary school! :lol:

don't you think given the nature of what the song is about that it is odd people began to campaign for it to become Australia's national anthem LOL ROTF

Only a country begun on the back of convict labour would want a song about a man stealing a sheep, putting it in a bag and committing suicide in a river (billabong) would think up such a thing ROTF - I LOVE MY COUNTRY.

Congrats Aussiemum! So glad you found out you are having a girl and have a beautiful name picked out. :D And joy you are a hoot! :lol:

mmm Joy it's actually a happy song despite the dark lyrics, I know that sounds weird - its not something you'd sing with a frown on your face...

Try downloading it you'll see what I mean.

Thanks for the congratulations BTW Vanessa, we've known for about 2 months or so.

Yeah, Aussie_Mum, I guess that IS pretty strange! :shock: To tell you the truth, I didn't remember exactly what the song was about until I looked up the lyrics yesterday.
