♥ December 2021/January 2022 Due Dates ♥

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 :)

how exciting! Congrats on team pink!
 
Congrats @Teafor2 !!

@Skye75 beautiful dress you chose for your wedding. Congrats and have a great weekend :) bump is looking great

sorry I know Ive missed some - its been a busy week btwn work, hubby work, cleaning out the house/basement to prep for a garage sale. My baby started 1st grade today. Its been an exhausting couple weeks. But 26 weeks this past saturday. Almost 3rd trimester!!!
 
Anyone elses indigestion on full blast? Ugh this is so awful. I cant sit or bend over without feeling like everything in my tummys at my throat. Never had this in my other pregnancies.
 
I'm on Omeprazole @Rach87 so I don't get much trouble with it now!!

Well we're off on our holiday today, not looking forward to the 4 1/2 hour drive ugh.
28 week 3/4/5D scan tomorrow :D will try update a photo tomorrow afternoon otherwise I won't be on to much until Sunday/Monday.
Have a great weekend everyone :)
 
@Skye75 have a great time, look forward to seeing scan pics and hearing about weekend

@Rach87 I don't have indigestion, although I hope it eases soon for you, I know mild heartburn isn't nice let alone having it worse

As for me, I am exhausted. I cannot sleep. I seem to be managing around 3 hours sleep then I will wake up (usually toilet) and then I'm awake for around 4 hours. By which time I have around 90minutes until I have to get up. Today was no different. Tried to nap twice and each time was kept awake enough that I just couldn't sleep so have been crying most of the afternoon lol. It's really starting to take its toll. I fell asleep around 8pm tonight, woke at 10:30 and have been awake since (it's now 1:30am). Asked OH to make me a cuppa as he was downstairs...no response so I go down to make it and he's asleep on sofa! Urg. Sorry. Silly o clock rant lol
 
@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.

I know, that would be the sensible option really! To think I have another 13+5 weeks of this urg. Although I might start the ball rolling at 38weeks to try get him out, even if nothing happens at least I would be filling the days with trying and knowing it won't be that long.......ha
 
@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.

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

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!
 
Third trimester has arrived in the group. Amazing! Congratulations to third tri guys! Hope everyone is well.
V-Day for me, love this milestone. 3 weeks from third tri (or is it 28 weeks?)

13 weeks until C-Section as it stands. Started on labetalol for early onset pre-eclampsia, I hope I can make it further than 33 weeks this time! Fingers
Crossed for 37 weeks!
 
Congrats on everyone's milestones! I can't wait to get to v-day, but for now I'll celebrate being half-way there. (I got tons of "Living on a Prayer" comments on facebook, :haha:)
@Rach87 , I hear you with the indigestion! Things come back up just a little bit.
Cute bump @Skye75 !
@aymz1983, sleeping through the night is tough, for sure. About every 2-3 hrs, up to pee.

I don't get a chance to comment much, but I always come on here to read everyone's updates. I hope y'all are doing 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!
 
Happy wedding day @Skye75 !!

@Reiko_ctu thanks - i think baby must have re-positioned herself as its not bad the last couple days. Thank goodness!

@aymz1983 ive taken 81mg aspirin daily in all 3 pregnancies. MFM recommended :)

good to hear from you @mouse_chicky ! Same with the up every 2-3 hrs to pee. Ugh!

27 weeks!!! One app says Im 3rd tri, another says next week…..Im going with the one that says today Im in 3rd trimester lol
