Thanks ladies! Yes I have heard of the frozen pea trick as well. It is worth a shot! I guess they just manually turn her using their hands and some people say it is really painful and some people felt no pain. I can do nothing if I want and get a c-section at 39 weeks but after 2 vaginal births I really do not want a csection now. They said I could have pain medication or an epidural for the procedure but I am not sure I want either of those for a procedure that should only take like 5 mins or less. We will see how it goes

Glad you got a visit booked Mummy but shame it’s not with your normal midwife ! Maybe she might have more time with it being a home visit. I’d be pushing her to make sure she checks properly this time !

I’ve seen it done on YouTube Hoping ! Doesn’t look pleasant at all ! I’m sure they provide you with gad and air too. Hopefully she will turn back fingers crossed !

I’ve been hit with back ache and those period type pains again all today! I just feel real pressure and tightening when walking I’ve had to stop a few times today and cross my legs as it’s been uncomfortable but I don’t yet feel like I’ve got a bowling ball between my legs hahaha! I’d love to know what he’s doing in there !

Hoping the next few weeks go fast because I’m starting to get that being over pregnant feeling, anyone else ?

Holy wow I have a lot to catch up on! I was off work for one week of vacation time so I haven't made it back on here since then! Well, here goes!

Mummy - I get it! I'm personally NOT ready for this baby, but my body says otherwise I'll feel better if I can get a bit more organized at home!!! Still so much to do!

mkyerby - ADORABLE choice - Love the outfit!

Shanlee - Spectra! I did Medela with my daughter and Spectra with my son - Spectra was so much more comfortable and gave me better output. Also, Simple Wishes makes a hands-free pump bra that is great - highly recommend that also! Enjoy the babymoon!

Mummy - I read that if baby is head down, hiccups will be felt really low... that's where I've been feeling them lately and I've been told baby is head-down.

Mark&Annie - YESSSSSSS reflux is getting horrible! It hadn't been too bad for me this pregnancy, but I'm eating my words now UGH! Best of luck with your scan! Enjoy seeing babe

Emzeebob!!!! Yay! So glad to hear from you! So sorry you're in pain and having issues with growth, but it sounds like you're being well-monitored and babe will be just fine Keep us posted!!!

Jules - Wish I were brave like you! I'm dreading labor SO bad... but yes, I remember thinking (with both of mine) that labor was cake compared to afterward... especially with my daughter. Everything is SO sore down there afterward.... and I remember feeling intense pressure after being on my feet for too long. Also a bit nervous about how breastfeeding is going to go. I know I'll be able to, because I definitely did with both my kids, but my first was SO much harder than my second (in terms of pain) because when I had my son, my daughter was still nursing... so I didn't have to go through engorgement (my daughter helped with that) and my nipples weren't terribly sore, since they were used to my daughter nursing... but now that I haven't nursed in a couple of years, since my son stopped much earlier than my daughter did.... I feel like starting all over may be a bit painful. Can we tell I'm a baby when it comes to pain?!?! You would never guess I've had two pain-med-free labors

Wow, you ladies are making me remember the little details of breastfeeding! I forgot about leaking out of the shower & running to get a bra & pads on! I plan on getting a milkies milksaver this time around and try and catch some of that (especially when feeding on one side and letting down on the other)! Mrs.JJ, after you cool down your milk you can add it to whatever container in the fridge then freeze together Also, squirting baby in the face when trying to latch (or on latch) and you're also reminding me about the smell of it - I could ALWAYS smell it on me, but you're right - thankfully, my DH could never smell it on me either

I've just say and cried cos I'm hungry, seriously hormones

 

[Babybump87]

Oh no Emz ! I’ve been close to crying with frustration a few times !!


Might be TMI but had anyone noticed an increase in their discharge ? Sometimes I feel as if I’ve slightly wet myself although I most defiantly haven’t !

 

[Mummy2Corban]

Ah emzebob!!! Think we’ve all come a cropper to these pesky hormones!!!

Yeah I’d say just recently I feel like there is more! And feel wetter! Oh the joys!!!!!

How has everyone been? Another week done! As if baby news will start popping up soon!!!! Who will be first???

 

[Shanlee16]

Oh no Emz ! I’ve been close to crying with frustration a few times !!

I’ve been having so much discharge that I’ve had to wear a panty liner. But it also may be a result of not fully being able to empty my bladder. I’m not sure, all I know is that I feel wet whenever I’m not wearing one now. I’m not a huge fan of this haha!

And Mummy, I know I can’t believe that we are this far along!! Before we know it we will be having updates on the first babies to arrive! So exciting!!

Just had another growth scan and baby hasn't grown much at all, infact he's dropped from the 10th centile to the 5th.

I've got a consultant app in 2 week to discuss what's going to happen, this is going to be a horrible 2 weeks im really scared.

Anyone had growth issues in pregnancy

 

[Mummy2Corban]

Panty liners are a must!!!!

@emzeebob no I haven’t. Can you talk to a consultant before then? Seems a little unfair to make you wait!

 

[Shanlee16]

@emzeebob i have to agree with mummy, that seems like a long time in between. Did they tell you why it had to be 2 weeks? I hope it’s not IUGR

 

[Babybump87]

Glad I’m not the only one having increase discharge I may have to start wearing panty liners too !

Sorry Emz I’ve had no issues with baby’s growth sorry cannot help . Try and stay calm and relaxed I know it will be super hard . Sending baby and yourself best wishes. I do agree with the other ladies try and speak to your consultant before hand !

My nephew stopped growing, no reason was found and SIL had to have scans she was booked for induction but he arrived by himself 3 weeks early weighed 5lb . He has no issues now and is a happy and healthy 4 year old !

Iugr was mentioned by the specialist midwife but she said consultant will talk to me at app. I didn't know what it was till I googled, wish i hasn't now

 

[Shanlee16]

@emzeebob I’m sorry that you’re going through this. I would be calling the specialist trying to get in sooner, especially if I was measuring as far back as your little man sounds like he is. I’ll keep everything crossed for you and keep you two in my thoughts.

Afm I am having such bad back pain this morning as well as period like cramps. I’m not sure what to do but it has made my day pretty unbearable. Any advice or any ladies going through a similar bout of back pain?

 

[Mrs. JJ]

@emzeebob - I'm sorry you're having to go through this, it's so worrisome. Seems crazy to make you wait 2 weeks!

AFM - I had my baby sprinkle (small shower since it's my second child and it was co-ed) yesterday, it was wonderful and this is my last week of work before I go out on disability for 4 weeks prior to my due date (35 weeks today ). I hope she doesn't come early and mess up all my time off I have, I still have a lot to do to get ready however my doc wants me to go into labor BY my due date. So hoping she's right on time. Although I am very uncomfortable already, my belly skin huuuuurts.

Today I have to go to the doc for my GB swab. I'm nervous. Didn't have it before but I know it can be different every time and don't need any more complications thrown into this since I'm trying for a VBAC. Fingers crossed!

I’ve had back pain and cramps so I feel your pain with this ! All I can suggest is warm bath , pain relief tablets and maybe a hot compress !

Im suffering bad at the minute with my hips moreso my left one . It’s making sleeping unbearable !

 

[Babybump87]

Glad your baby shower went well Mrs JJ!! Did you/baby get anything unexpected?!

Hopefully little one will stay put until you are ready for her arrival ! Good luck for your GD test too !!

I have my 34 week midwife appointment on Wednesday it’s come around quick ! I’m really hoping she tells me he’s head down ! I’m so nervous to find out which way he is lying as I still feel like he’s all over the place ! He was head down 3 weeks ago at my growth scan but the day before the scan he was transverse so know he’s a little wriggler !

Anyone else found out the position of their baby’s ?

Thanks! I’ve tried a heating pack, Tylenol, rubbing, a nap and now we’re on to an ice pack. I’m running out of hope. I also had a very small amount of blood when I used the bathroom earlier. I’m not sure what to make of it.

Maybe you should phone your midwife for a bit of advice !
