Helloooo! June 27th here! Braxton Hicks are daily and stronger by the day too.. And LO's acrobatics still amaze me every time! I can feel rolls and what feels to be the head/legs/arms now, too.

Some days i'm a massively hormonal, irrational mess (like this morning - so i cosied up and watched a film with the dog!) and others im fine. Tired most of the time still but a little more energy than 1st and 2nd tri's.

Nursery is under way, just (as in cotbed, paint and curtains picked) and we've decided on a pram. No idea on names still! And i can't BELIEVE i haven't yet bought baby clothes! I've wanted to all along but i want the first thing to be special and nothing's fit the bill, yet!

We're team yellow

It's great to see you all here

Hey! we are due date buddies!!

We (well, my dh and my dad) are painting the nursery today!!! And we picked out a stroller... but that's about it.... I am at a total loss what to get! My shower will be in May, so I need to start on the registry too

Hello! Just saw this thread and thought I would jump in if that is ok! I hope all of you ladies are doing well! I have been experiencing BH like crazy too and they are much stronger than with my first. At first it did concern me as my stomach would get so tight and would almost feel a little crampy for just a minute. I guess it really must have something to do with this being my second.

I am having a baby shower...well, my MIL is throwing me one but it is just going to be very small with family. The nursery is done except for needing a dresser, but we are still looking for that, and my sister is sending me all the clothes her twin girls grew out of (they are 11 months), so we really have much of what we need already! We are so excited about our little girl getting here!

Speaking of which, I had to do a class observation for one of my college classes. I had to go sit in a preschool class for 5 hours to observe, take notes etc....and surprisingly nobody commented on my bump size or touched it (yay!) but everybody (teachers/parents) asked what I was having and seemed to think it was a great idea to try to scare me about having a girl. I have always heard boys are easier and my son is amazing...so much fun but does have his good and bad days. He has so much energy like any child his age They were all telling me how hard their girls were and how it would have been easier had they had all boys and almost acted sympathetic toward me for having a girl. We are SO excited to have a little girl and do expect her to be different from our boy but little girls aren't all little terrors, are they? I don't understand why they would act like it is a bad thing...

Hey everyone!
I'm feeling absolutely fine apart from being tired all of the time!
Of course I have restless leg syndrome for most of the day every day but I'm used to that after 5 months of it! haha

I think people just like to sound knowledgeable about that sort of thing without really knowing anything at all I'm having a girl too, so I certainly hope it's not true about them all being little terrors!

I've not had any braxton hicks, none that I'm aware of anyway. Otherwise I've got intermittent heartburn, nausea (nothing new unfortunately - ever present since 1st tri ), really hungry all the time! Baby is over to the right and I frequently get a head or bum wedged up in my ribs, which is pretty uncomfy and means I have to sit up very straight and sort of lean to the left

All I ever hear is how lovely it is to have a girl first, because they're so much easier than boys Clearly everyone is talking rubbish

Thank you!! You are probably right. I would rather they keep their knowledge to themselves then haha Our little girls are going to be so amazing Congrats to you, btw!! I forgot to look for a ticker...when are you due? Do you have a name for your princess yet?

Eeek...I'm sorry about your heartburn and nausea still sticking around!!! I have to admit I was happy to replace the nausea and sickness with BH lol I have just started getting heartburn....especially at night so that really stinks! I'm hungry all the time too...lol Not helping me keep my weight gain at a minimum haha

That is so funny what you have heard about having girls! Maybe that are easier when they are first? lol Or people just like to hear themselves talk lol I should quit listening as every baby is different anyway lol I only know what it is like to have a boy around, though so was already a little nervous. Although of course...very excited! Do you know what you are having or are you waiting?

I'm started getting leg cramps yesterday night, and have had them on/off since. It's usually in one of my legs in the lower half. Is this pregnancy related or just random aches? Could anyone help me?

I had horrible leg cramps at night in my 3rd trimester with my first. I would say it is pregnancy related, although someone else maybe could give more insight. I got it in one leg once so far this pregnancy and then heard about magnesium and began taking it every day and haven't had it again. It is supposed to be really good for muscle cramps and my doctor told me it was totally fine to be taking.

Anyway...I hope this helps as it is the only advice I can really give right now. I know how miserable those things are! You could try massaging that part of the leg more or before bed and I know I saw some exercises you could do before bed when googling that are supposed to help!
