Gp I really hope all ends up being just fine.

Dark star- the cramps have eased off but I am definitely a bit tender/sensitive when I move certain ways today.

Good morning!

Hope you don't mind me joining, don't know why I hadn't looked for an 'Oct' thread before!?

I'm currently 23 +1 with my second son (and probably last pregnancy unless I win the lottery!)

I've had a pretty good pregnancy so far except for ms up to 14 weeks - That was a killer with a hen do and a wedding to attend, both 3 hrs away by train. Luckily I was never sick, just felt like I wanted to be most of the dam day.

14-18 weeks I barely knew I was pregnant but 16 weeks onwards I started pelvic discomfort so I stopped running and to be honest haven't really exercised much after! Hubby and I love to walk though so weather permitting we walk for 4/5 miles every weekend.
From 20 weeks onwards the restless legs I experienced late on in my first pregnancy started so i'm already getting the occasional sleepness night - all preparation for the new arrival I say! My DS was a terrible sleeper, he didn't get into a routine until about 18months old and he still is an early riser, 5am yest and 6 today!

So my next appoint isn't until i'm 28 weeks so it feels an age away, I may have to self refer to the physio though, i've been for one appoint about the pelvic discomfort and she sent me home with pelvic floor exercises which I have religously done every day but it's not helped. It hurts to even roll over in bed sometimes (which could also be why i'm not sleeping) and i'm starting to worry about the overall effert (if any) it might have on labour and the latter part of pregnancy.

Don't know why i'm putting it off - I feel like i'm moithering but something's not right down there.

Anyway I hope to catch up with you all soon, I couldn't read it all i'm afraid!

I'm due Oct 9th btw.

Lu xx

Been ages since I posted in here!

Still suffering with SPD. Have about a 10 step tolerance before my hips pop out. So mainly stuck in a a wheelchair now. Yay!

Despite being immobile and being a total pig, I've only managed to gain 3lbs??? Think I have lost alot of muscle tone though so probably gained more in reality.

Baby is growing well, had a scan at 22 weeks and measured 2 weeks behind, 34th percentile which is a bit worrying. Having a repeat scan later on to check growth.

Managed to stay team yellow, was so tempted to find out though!

Hope all you ladies are well, I am counting down the days til we startseeing baby announcements!

 

[Chrissi1981]

Oh GP I'm sure everything will be fine hun. Lots of prayers for you and your little one. Xxxx

Hi all. I haven't been on for a while but wanted to say hello. I'm now just over 20 wks and counting down to v day (that is such a big milestone in my mind!). I'm sorry that some of you are having a stressful time - I'll keep everything crossed for good news. At my 20 wk scan all was well except they might be concerned about the size of 1 kidney. We're being rescanned at 28 weeks to check. We stayed team yellow 😀

Just a comment about growth scans by the way. With my DD they were worried about her, saying she was measuring very big and scans predicted a 10lb + baby. I was tested twice for GD (negative) and was induced at 39 wks due to all the fluid. She was 8lb. The scans aren't accurate in terms of weight so please try not to worry too much. Obviously it's great they're monitoring closely but the likelihood is that baby's just fine and is growing at his / her own rate. xx

Hi girls!

Tink glad the cramps have eased off hun xx

GP I hope Luci is just little and perfect.

CrazyMumma I feel for you with the SPD I don't know how you manage it, mine has got a lot worse and I can't do much but still nowhere near as severe as yours xxx

V day here!!!!!!

 

[Tink1o5]

Yay for v-day! Huge congrats to all the ladies you have hit that wonderful milestone.

Next thing u know we will be hitting 3rd tri!!!!

 

[tallybee]

I know it's crazy, only seems like yesterday we were getting

 

[Twag]

GP hope all goes well with the 2nd scan and Luci is just a perfect pettitt little girl

Happy V days to all the ladies - huge milestone

I am half way and my scan is Wednesday morning cannot wait to (1) see my baby again and know if all is going okay in there and (2) finding out if we are or

 

[Charmed86]

GP, I hope your second scan goes well. I hate the waiting, it is the absolute worst. Like others have said though, the scans aren't always 100% accurate. A friend's baby was measuring normal & he ended up being 10lbs 12oz! It just isn't as scientific as we like to think. I am sending you massive hugs though because I know nothing we say will take away your anxieties.

Happy half way Twag! Looking forward to finding out if your team blue or pink! I hope your LO behaves

AFM.. I've been feeling little Oliver moving more & more. In fact, the last 24hrs he's been really active! I only feel him lower down because of an anterior placenta, but it's such a strange sensation & he's definitely getting stronger I can't believe I'm almost 23wks! We've still got SO much to do. I'm struggling to find a contractor who will do the nursery for us. Argh. We found a great one, but then he's really dragging his feet getting a quote over to us. Yesterday I bought the cutest little outfits for Oliver, including a little tweed jacket!! Omg, my heart melted

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend xx

 

[nmpjcp2015]

Good luck GP!

And I'm loving that everyone is deciding on names...

Charmed - Oliver is so cute I cannot imagine a tweed jacket being that small.

 

[GingerPanda]

The ultrasound has been scheduled for tomorrow afternoon. A friend may be coming with me so I don't have to go alone. I don't think they'll find anything wrong, but I don't want to be alone just in case.

 

[Chrissi1981]

Got our name sorted too 😄 Théodore (Jean-James) my husbands French he wanted his grandfathers name in there somewhere and I wanted my dad's. I think it sounds nice hehe. Haven't been on here much I'm too busy nesting !!!! Xxx

 

[Dark_Star]

We have names picked out too, I am keeping quiet about them for now

Tomorrow is my next ultrasound. The tech can't tell me anything but it will be nice to see my babies. I will find out on Friday more about Twin A's abdominal surgery and Twin B's low fluid.

 

[onebumpplease]

Ladies I hope those scans go really well tomorrow, even if you can't find out anything Dark_star. I am hoping for the best on Friday for you

 

[bathbabe]

Good luck with your scans tomorrow ladies!!

Iv had no phone call from the hospital so no GD for meeeeee!!!!!! for now anyway! Next test is in about 3/4weeks x

 

[Aliop]

Lots to catch up on!

Good luck for all the scans coming up, fingers crossed for reassuring news

Looking forward to start of third trimester, feel like I can go totally nuts then and organise every little thing second trimester feels a little bit limbo land lol

Love the names people have chosen! I am thinking we will go for Thomas (Tommy/Tom) but cannot settle on a middle name. I like middle names that are a bit fun/bohemian/cute so I am having trouble finding one that we love.

Apart from that seeing the chiro has been amazing for my body, I don't feel pregnant at all except for the bump that bumps into things and stops me squeezing out of he car door in tight parking spaces LOL also having regular massages each fortnight and they are awesome too. Hating on the scales though they just keep going up and up!! I have been doing a 5km treadmill walk each day (winter over here so outside is cold and wet) which I think is helping my 'chub spots' but overall the number just keeps on going up

 

[craquinette]

Hi all!
Haven't been writing for quite a while... Just like Aliop, second Tri feels like limbo land with really not much happening! Bit boring really!
I'm now 24 weeks, and someone FINALLY asked me for the very first time last week if I was pregnant! Yay! I'm starting to show (and not just look like I've been eating like a pig!)
I have my monthly check up tomorrow, will get to listen to Baby's heart, so that's pretty cool.
We decided to use cloth diapers and bought a big stack yesterday! They're so cute, I can't wait to use them (never thought I'd say that about nappies haha).
Other than that, not much to report...
Hope all the scans this week will go well. Fingers crossed for you ladies!

 

[Twag]

Hope everyone's scans go well and all is okay with babies

Scan day for me tomorrow and I cannot wait to see baby again and know if we are having a boy or girl so we can decide on names etc - no idea's at all for boys it was hard enough coming up with DS's
