No theyre not nice at all are they .... but he was a little star & Thats them all done now untill hes alot older!

Does he need them again around 5? My daughter did and now she is 7 and hasn't needed any since so thats nice. Its tougher when they are old enough for you to have to tell them, we need to go get your shots done today. It seems almost more heart breaking!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Ikno he was upset about them he kept saying "But mummy i dont need to have them" bless him it was awful but he was fine xx

Im not actually sure when he will get more i kno its not till hes in school xx

I know, this could be some of our's last full month of being pregnant. If all the babies are good and wait til at least 37 weeks to come, that's September 28th. AHHHH!!!!

crazy when you think of it like that.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!! Very surreal x

 

[Phantom710]

Looking for some comfort that my baby isns't the only one slowing down. He's gone from doing really big rolls and kicks to just sorta..... moving an inch here or there. I'm still getting kicks, but they seem to have cut themselves in half in comparison to....let's say... week 28?

 

[x-TyMa-x]

sorry michelle this little lady is still very much a wriggle bum x

I think it may just be cause he's suuch a chunker. I have my 32 week appointment on Wednesday so am anxious to see what my Fundal height is. I've measured myself at home a few times before appointments and i usually get about 2cms over what the nurse gets, and yesterday i measured myself and got 40. which means even if i some how missed the top of my uterus by 2 INCHES I'm coming in at 36 weeks, which is 4 weeks bigger.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Maybe your cooking a big boy in there!! Although dont worry too much as fundal height isnt the most accurate thing xx

i had a mw appt today, i have to have them every 2 weeks as she was worried cuz of cookie measuring small and everything was fine with the usual obs but she is breech.... little madam!!!
i am seeing her again in 2 weeks and then again at 36 weeks and it will depend on how she is lying at the 36 week app when she comes round as to what they will do about it.
obviously with her being small she must still have lots of room to move around so im going to stay really active and get on my hands and knees plenty to help get her turned!!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Fingers crossed she turns soon sam, Hopefully she will

I see my MW on the 9th sept for my next check up then am up at the hosp on the 16th for more bloods done and my 2nd Anti D injection x

For some reason my MW always gets bigger measurements than the MW's at the hospital.
When i went to the hosp at 28weeks i was measuring 2weeks behind my dates yet when i saw my midwife 1 week later she measured me at 1 week ahead of my dates

sam - how accurate is fundal height really??

 

[sam#3]

it isnt is the answer!!!

it can vary soooo much literally from one hour to the next depending in position of the baby, and who measures you as some will measure closer to the pubic bone than others and some will be more generous of where the top of the fundus is than others... and measuring 2 weeks +/- your edd is totally normal and within range

 

[x-TyMa-x]

So im not to worry that if im measuring 1-2 weeks ahead that im going to be pushing out 8tonne of baby!! haha x

I didnt think it was all that accurate tbh but i did wonder xx

Thankyou x

 

[sam#3]

Nope dont worry

Also when in a few weeks the MW's start to palpate and tell you 'ooooh id say about 8lb/6lb/10lb+' etc etc....... IGNORE!!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Mine has already done that and scared me!! Tyler was 8lb 9oz ... and she said "Oo im gonna guess another 8lber or bigger ..... i dont think she will be smaller than Tyler" ...... then she said in the next breath, Girls are usually smaller than boys

hahaha!

 

[sam#3]

Honestly pay no attention at all - this is a couple of examples why....

ME - I was told Harry would be 9-11lb and to be prepared and get bigger clothes etc..... he was 2 weeks overdue and 8lb 1oz

FRIEND - was told #2 would be about the same size as #1 which was about 7lb - a growth scan at 39+2 told her he weighed approx 7lb 6oz..... he was born a couple of days later 10lb 9oz!!!!!!

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Ahhhhhhh ok! Im scared to have a big baby ...... not sure how my little "vajayjay" would cope! Tyler was pretty big for my frame.

Is anyone starting RLT this week from 32weeks....... im unsure wether to or wether to wait till around 34 x

 

[Phantom710]

Sam------ I'm so glad yuo're in our group, you're so handy

I know that anywhere from 2cms bigger/smaller is within range, but no matter the nurse i've been consistantly bigger.

I've had a lot of people tell me my doc is a really good birth weight guesser, but i'm afraid to ask, as if he says anything above 8 lbs i'll pass out. lol

I am pleased with myself although hubby and i intend to cloth diaper from 3+ months, have bought some pampers from the hospital today for 8-14 lbs for a good bargain. 240 diapers for $21.00 and for you UK ladies.. around here they are $28.00 for 190 diapers.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

well done michelle for the bargain!

Ikno sam is quite handy isnt she haha!! 3 cheers for sam! lol

Michelle- yes im worried about anything over 8lbs too haha

 

[Phantom710]

When do your hips start spreading? Anyone with previous babies?

Mine haven't at all that i'm aware of, and if so, only very slightly.
