Dh revealed the sex of the baby to me... we’re having a girl! I’m so surprised! All this time I thought it would be a boy! I’m really happy though. I had a great relationship with my mom so I’m really excited to have a daughter
Beautiful bump! That’s a really great name! Good choice!
Happy third trimester.28 weeks today
@Skye75 enjoy your wedding weekend hun.
@aymz1983 i totally relate to what you going through, every bit of it is my daily struggle including the passes out partner in the living room, so frustrating. I’ve been up most nights wondering why I’m the bloody world we go through these sleepless nights, We need to be getting as much sleep now before baby arrives.
This is my 4th baby and her movements are really bothering me. She moves non stop, I have no idea when she actually rests. The good thing is it’s reassuring. I don’t remember being bothered with my other 3 though. I remember my friend who had a baby before me said she was one and done because she felt like she had an alien inside her and it made her grossed out XD@Rach87 Mine has been horrible as well. I need to sleep sitting up for a couple hours before I’ve digested the day’s food enough to lie down later in the night.I have the same thing with bending over and I spend my whole day burping, usually with some food or drink making it’s way up in the process. At my last ob appointment I mentioned that my nausea never went away and she prescribed me something for reflux because she thinks it may be what’s causing all the nausea (it’s bad when I’m hungry but also after I eat). I still need to pick up the prescription but hopefully it will help.
@aymz1983 I was like that with sleep in the first trimester, but it has gotten better now. I’m fully expecting it to come back once I’m further along. Hopefully it will improve for you!
Does anyone else ever get bothered by baby’s movements? Last night before bed she was rolling and kicking like crazy and I just wanted to sleep. Most of her movements are inward now, which feels weirder to me than when her kicks were out towards my belly. It made me feel a bit panicky that there is this other person inside me I can’t control. At least if she was born I could put her down for a minute.
Also re:heartburn, if you want to try a natural remedy, at least if it’s bugging you at bedtime, try mixing a bit of apple cider vinegar with water. It seems counter intuitive to add acid to your stomach to stop reflux, but honestly I started doing it 4 weeks ago and haven’t had reflux since. And mine was keeping me up all night and the pain went all across my upper back and front of my neck!@Rach87 Mine has been horrible as well.

Is anyone else taking aspirin as prescribed? Had a voicemail from midwife to say that she has spoken with the GP to get me on 150mg a day as I should have been on it already, so looks like I'll be picking that up after the weekend.
Had a quick Google and seems to be prescribed to reduce the risk of pre eclampsia? Presumably as I have a couple of the risk factors? Hopefully between that and the Labetalol I will be ok!
