2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[Twag]

I am having the opposite I am getting people telling me how small my bump and it is so annoying and tbh it is starting to worry me - she measured spot on last appointment and I have a midwife appointment today so hoping she is still measuring okay

DoubleT - pleased to hear your boys are doing well

 

[ClaireJ23]

That is annoying, people shouldn´t be trying to worry you. They are not experts. Yeah, I measured spot on last appt too.

 

[GingerPanda]

Same here, Twag.

People repeatedly saying "you're so tiny" has an extra special sting to it when you're diagnosed with unexplained IUGR, though. I just want to be like, "Yeah, I know. My baby is really tiny, and we don't know why. I'm having multiple tests every week so we can make sure she's not in distress. I came out so I could try to forget about it for a little while, but thanks for reminding me that my baby might die!"

Ginger Luci is a fighter and she is going to prove to everyone that she is just as strong if not stronger than a normal sized baby
Glad she is passing her tests

 

[GingerPanda]

Thanks.

I know, and I'm really not that worried about it. But I really want to "punish" people for not minding their own business sometimes!

 

[Twag]

people just think because your pregnant you become public property and they can say anything they feel like and don't care about your feelings etc! drives me mad!

 

[onebumpplease]

It's unbelievable the amount of strangers who think they can comment on your pregnancy!

 

[MissR]

I agree. Everyone just thinks they can throw any comment at you and your gonna just be fine with it. I'm looking pretty big now and everyone has such joy in telling me baby is going to be huge! Xx

 

[tallybee]

CrazyMumma I really hope you have a swift recovery after delivery xxxxx

I agree people seem to think they can comment freely on our bodies when pregnant. It's rude as hell . Most have no concept of how big we should look at any stage so are just talking crap. I've had comments ranging from ooh you're massive to wow you hardly look pregnant lol.

Atm I'm in lots of pain. I've started getting a shooting pain in my left thigh where it joins my groin which makes my whole leg give way. Still using crutches. Loads of pressure down below. Lo is such a kicker and getting me in the ribs quite painfully too.

This last month can't go quickly enough xx

 

[ClaireJ23]

I'm having constant Braxton Hicks contractions today. I've noticed them off-on for over a week, but today is really bad. Anyone else getting this?

Urghhh tally i hear you on this one.. Funny that we are due the same day!
Yesterday i started Getting my lower back pain back.. And my left pelvis started popping back out of place.
Today i had that ontop of this groin pain you speak of. Left thigh where it meets my groin.. Feels weak, hurts when i put pressure on it to walk.
I assumed baby had moved which is why it started hurting again then today a few people started commenting on how ive dropped.. So i think im stuck with this pain until the end!
Hoping for a due date baby hahah come on september.. Get out of here!

 

[MissR]

Claire yes!! I also seem to be getting constant BH. I don't remember getting them this much with my first cx

 

[ClaireJ23]

I don't remember them at all with my first but did get them a lot nearer to the end of pregnancy with my second. However, last night they were coming thick and fast and there didn't even seem to be breaks between them. Eased off this morning though.

 

[Dark_Star]

35 weeks!

Between my painful contractions every day for the last 3 weeks and a positive fetal fibronectin test 16 days ago... I never thought I would make it so far.

 

[3boys]

Congrats on making it so far darkstar.

Afm I had my last appointed in diabetic clinic today. Roll on Tuesday when I can forget all about gd.

 

[Mississippi03]

What the heck is this...
I keep getting this tightening in my belly but when it happens i get this sharp pain like lightening.. about two inches to the right of my belly button running up and down.. It does not go down into my vagina.. And if i try to move positions it makes it worse.. It happens 4-5 times in a row then goes away

Let me know when you find out. That's been happening to me too. Especially when I've stood too long.

Congrats dark star. That's amazing with twins!!!

Tally I hope you're feeling better. The end is near.

AFM - one more week until full term. Bittersweet is how I feel. And panicked. I'm feeling really panicked!

 

[Hit Girl]

Congratulations DS! That's a huge achievement.

 

[Dark_Star]

Thanks ladies.

I get those pulling pains next to my belly button too. From what I can tell they are just muscles stretching and spreading. That seems to be where the greatest expansion is.

 

[DoubleTFun]

Tonight as I was leaving the hospital from visiting the twins in the NICU I had an older "gentleman" tell me I better not go too far as he points to my belly. Why thank you for pointing out that I still look 6 months pregnant 5 days after delivering twins!!! It's okay I know I created 2 beautiful lives and I'll happily carry my pregnant looking belly around.

Out of the 30 lbs I gained I only have 10 lbs to lose to get to my pre pregnancy weight. Although I still have plenty more to get to where I want to be! I'd like to at least lose 25 in the next 3 months. Guess I better get my butt in gear as soon as I'm able!
