3rd Time Lucky Club

Drazic! That is fabulous news hun x

Time is a ticking Omi! I dread to think about what my BMI is now and what it will be by the end of this pregnancy! Shouldn't really look at it like that though eh. We are supposed to put on weight after all. It's going to be a big task to shift it, that's for sure! Need to get myself Wii Fit

 

[OmiOmen]

I am so glad to hear that Drazic.

I am so swollen and I feel like a cow, I really do! I do have a big round bump now though! It is funny because the doctors and midwives call me thin which is nice since no one could really describe me as thin in the past 4-5 years and my BMI was only just healthy pre-pregnancy, however I don't think anyone will be saying that after the birth. Plus, I just can not stop eating at the moment. I am really going to have to put effort in to losing weight after my 6 week postnatal check.

I found out today that I need to be in labour ward at 7:30am on Tuesday and the first appointment is at 9am. They book about three a day but I have no idea if I am in the first, second or third time slot. I also found out that DH and my LO stay with me even while I am getting stitched up which is nice since I thought they got sent out of the room and it would feel like the longest 45-60 minutes of my life.

Hello ladies How's it going? I do believe we are due some updates from some girls. Lol it's been a while, I hope all okay with you? KatyKat, I'm sure you had an appt of some sorts this week - hope it went well.

So I believe I have finally reached 3rd Tri as I am 27 weeks today Can't quite believe it to be honest. I know 1st tri dragged but suddenly I don't have that long to go really!

Omi, just think, this time next week you will likely be holding your baby!

 

[OmiOmen]

Yay, Poshie! The third trimester has gone quite fast for me so with any luck it will for you too.

I just can't believe I only have 5 days left now!

 

[OmiOmen]

This thread has gone quite for a while, I hope that everyone is doing ok.

I thought I would do a quick post today in case I did not get chance to make one tomorrow, I can not believe that tomorrow will be my last full day before my LO arrives! I am hoping to be home by Thursday or Friday and if I am shall post a quick birth story and photo of Joshua. I have a final bump photo and am now looking massive but unfortunately I look dreadful in every photo taken recently, I don't know why my face and hair look so bad but I look like a miserable man and you can make out the stupid rash that my arms are covered in! I am seriously not happy about my rubbish photos but this is my big 38+6 week bump.

I guess Omi will have a little fella by now....CRAZY!!!

hope all is well with everyone out there. Im fine, I had a placenta check/growth scan today. Placenta still less than 1cm away from cervix and they want 4cm GRRRRRRRRRRRRR so I have 6 weeks to get the bugger to shift before they decide at my next check! its all out of my hands though so heres hoping! as for my little man...he was spot on!! all looing good, ill attach a little facial pic....hubby was more impressed by the fact his winky is already 3/4 of an inch!!....MEN!!!!!

Well time is ticking, im into my 3rd tri now and cant quite believe it! not so long to go!

Looks like things have been good whilst ive been sunbathing...good scans and MW appts all round girlies which is great news!!

Hi third timers - room for a little one? I didn't know this gang existed until Beachlover found me so thanks Beachlover.

Well I am 8+4 today after 2 early miscarriages in September and November 2009. I have had 4 scans so far (lucky I know!) and have seen a nice heartbeat in the last two (one at 6+2 and the next at 7+5). I have the next one booked for a week friday when I will be 9+6 so fingers tightly crossed that Lambette's little heart will still be pumping away!

I look forward to getting to know some of you over the coming months (check out my optimism!)

 

[beachlover1]

HeY you found it!!! Great to see you here! Always room for one more 3rd timer!! We have a couple of grads already and next up, gulp are Poshie and myself due pretty much the same time in July. Other than that we have a variety of different stages, some are about your stage too!!

Always here to listen, I'm sure the others will agree!! And once again it's great your here!! X

 

[Poshie]

Hello!

Another new face, I see, welcome Lam. Many congratulations on your pregnancy and of course, we hope you will be 3rd Time Lucky. As BL says, we have members at all different stages, definitely some new ones around your stage so do pull up a chair.

Lovely pic BL and yes, can't quite believe we are 3rd Tri all of a sudden. The birth is drawing scarily near! What have you got baby bits wise? I went to the Asda event last week with a girl from BnB actually which was lovely. I have a cupboard full of nappies, wipes, breast pads, nipple shields (not liking the look of those) cotton wool, nail clippers, shampoo, sudocream and baby birth. I also have boxes of clothes for newborn through to 6 months (donated by my sister). Got more stuff coming via my dad this weekend including a swinger/rocking chair thingy; breast pumps (lovely) and other bits I can't remember!

Pip has been moving alot lately and I often jump when I get a big kick/punch

How's everyone else doing?

 

[beachlover1]

Well, I had my MW check today...and succeeded in getting some Lactulose for my constipation! this pregnancy lark is smothered in TMI but girls....OMG I have got to the stage of going for a number 2 twice a week if im lucky, and then its like total agony!!! no matter how much water i drink so here goes with the lactulose!!

All fine uterus height spot on....but i had a scan yesterday so knew im ok for now!

Nothing else to report, got my Rhesus jab next week...whens yours Poshie? and some full bloods again. thats about it.

I start Anti Natal tomorrow night ;-)....my birthday treat!! ill be 35 tomorrow!!! yuk i feel old.

Thats about it really, hows everyone else?? x

 

[Poshie]

Ooo birthday girl tomorrow then and what a way to celebrate with antenatal classes Mine start on 25 May (I think - must check).

I have my 28 week mw appt on Tuesday to include bloods like you and I also have my anti-d jab next thursday to look forward to

Lactulose worked nicely for me. I must admit my consitpation got better in 2nd tri so I only needed it during 1st tri. I was going for a week with no no.2 so ended up asking mw for help, just like you. It may take a couple of days to take affect - it's like eating golden syrup btw. Good luck with that

 

[beachlover1]

Thanks Poshie...Im hoping to get some relief soon!!!! I have been fine up until these last few weeks...I now dread needing the loo ;-) so look forward to a bit of lactulose relief!!!

 

[Poshie]

I wonder how Omi is doing?? Hopefully she is busy getting to know here little man

Oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEACHLOVER!

I'm looking forward to hearing about your antenatal class......is it an nct one, I can't remember?

 

[beachlover1]

Thanks Poshie!!

Yep antenatal tonight, looking forward to it!! its not an NCT as they only do full day courses which didnt suit hubby, but they are another private company, 6 couples i total so should be fun!

Hubby bought me a "bump" photoshoot with a great company near us, her photos are amazing so I cant wait to get a nice pic done! she does those nudie type bump pics too...not keen to get my kit off pre pregnancy let alone now im a stone fatter!!! ;-)

oh well, party tea now at my sisters...kids are a great reason to eat cake and wotsits!! ;-) xx

 

[im_mi]
