19th October Ladies ... **5 Births Already**

[Phantom710]

Yikes. I've had 2 UTI's so far and no blood in my urine, I think that would creep me put. haha. Hope all is well

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Back from the midwife all is fine she said its 100% normal for me to have blood & protein in my urine if i have an infection & im not to worry (phew) lol
Got to continue with the antibiotics and send a sample back off when theyre finished to check they have cleared it up properly

Also the midwife got the Dr to prescribe me some ranitidine for my heartburn

 

[sam#3]

glad you got something for your heartburn hun - and that the urine was all ok

this is really really TMI but....... i keep having like a throat burp and it makes me have sick in my mouth... it has been happening everyday like i said TMI! I dont know if it will be the start of heartburn and acid indigestion

 

[x-TyMa-x]

^ i get this all the time with my acid reflux

 

[katerdid]

Glad your ok Kerri - too bad it's a UTI tho. Hope it clears up fast!

I just got back from my appt. Everything is looking great. I magically gained 2lbs in the last couple days so she didn't yell at me about my weight. 11lbs so far...just gotta tell myself it's all for the baby.
She said Will is head down already yay! So that means I'm being kicked in the ribs, punched in the cervix, and headbutted in the hip lol. I'm measuring spot on, even though I look bigger (hooray short torso).
And my tests came back normal - no diabetes and my iron levels are within normal range. So that's great.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Kait - Sounds like everything is going great Glad all tests are fine and yay for will being head down, I have no idea what position this little lady is in as i feel kicks all over!!
11lbs is great!! ....... I dread to think how much ive gained now

 

[Mary Jo]

I've gained at least twice that. oh well! strict diet for me come January.

 

[katerdid]

Well I guess there is a benefit to long lasting intense MS - it's a lot harder to gain weight when you're puking Otherwise I think I would of gained a lot more!

I feel kicks all over too, but she pressed on my belly and could feel where he was. Pretty neat trick - I can't tell the difference between his bum and his head lol! I just know which side he's on. My belly is almost always slanted up and harder on the right. And when he's moving around you can see it - creepiest thing ever. Gets like 1-2 cm's higher and so hard it hurts.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Crazy isnt it how the MW's can tell where baby is ....... i cant tell the difference either!!

Awww i love watching her wiggling about in there, Your pictures of will making ur bump stick out in your journal were crazy hehe!!
I was watching her today thinking .. aww i cant wait to meet her but im so gonna miss watching this x

 

[katerdid]

Lol, I know - I'd never seen it that slanted before! He's now doing that quite a bit, cheeky little monkey.

I can't wait for him to come out either. I want to play with him proper and not just rub on him through my belly lol. Can't wait to tickle me some baby feet

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Cant wait to see piccies of all our newborns, its gonna feel soo crazy when were all writing posts like "Im in labour" or Our birth stories ..... exciting!

 

[katerdid]

I know - I'm started to get more excited than scared. I wonder who will go first?

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Ikno its gonna be great, Ive got no idea who's gonna go 1st but i cant wait to find out ..... Theres gonna be cute little pumpkins everywhere!!!

 

[Phantom710]

When we get a little closer we should make a fun little poll and see who everyone thinks will go first/last/etc.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Yes thats a good idea we shud do that

 

[sam#3]

Yer we should!! I am currently resisting the urge to get the crib all set up next to the bed etc, i really want to but i think it will make the time drag if i do.. if that makes sense?!?!

I can feel my little cookie is head down, back/bum to the right and arms/legs to the left... if she stays there or not is a different matter!!!!!!!!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

My crib has been set up for weeks lol , im an eager beaver https://www.pic4ever.com/images/beaverhug.gif

Ooo i wana know what position my baby is in xx

 

[sam#3]

i can tell myself... but as this is #4 im pretty tuned in to my pg body lol!

i will be making you all cringe with cervix changes when 40 weeks arrives!!!

has having the crib up made it drag more??? im trying to leave most things til 37 weeks then have a big splurge - inflate the pool, get the birth box ready, choose the first outfit etc...!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

no its not made it drag for me hun xx
lol at the cringe-worthy cervix changes x

see ur avatar says midwife in the making..... are u studying midwifrey hun u seen to be pretty clued up

 

[sam#3]

yep i am - i have had to defer a year though thanks to this little cookie!!!
its mainly from my own pg and from being birth mad tbh!! i must have read more about pg & birth in the past 2 years than anything else in my entire life combined!! i am incredibly passionate about pg, birth & all things related. Im a total admirer of women and their abilities.
Sorry went on a bit there
