(44) Little Presents - Due in December 2013

[Hoping girl 2]

I hit viability 2 days ago (28wks here, not 24) -

Moved house yesterday so I'm offline for a while until we get things sorted out. So tired, no energy, want to sleep

Went to the MW yesterday and baby is doing well, measuring 2wks ahead.

Yay! Good news about viability date and midwife appt! Soooo pleased for you xx

Congrats on 28 weeks Lara!

Hoping girl that is so scary to not feel baby move for a whole day! I get nervous if I don't feel her move for 20 mins even when she is sleeping I can still feel light movements. I wonder what caused it? I remember being worried about not feeling my first daughter move but it wasn't until the last couple of weeks I was pregnant and I think she was just out of room. Have you been having a lot of braxton hicks? I can't feel baby move at all while I'm having a contraction maybe she was just timing her movements just right?

I'm starting to feel occasional aching in my cervix area is anyone else experiencing this? It's really noticeable bc I've had zero pelvic pain so far this pregnancy. With my daughter I had terrible pelvic pain from 17 weeks on.

They don't worry about movement prior to 28 weeks, so you shouldn't get too concerned over a lack of movement at 26 weeks. It's normal to go even a day without feeling anything. I go long periods of time without feeling anything and then suddenly get a torrent of movement. I have an anterior placenta this time around though so I feel a lot less than I did my first pregnancy.

Anyone else having horrible heartburn?

Anyone else having horrible heartburn?

Yep me too! Our little ones are going to have lots of hair apparently. strangely a half hour swim seems to ease it for me.

Thanks for your post, it was pretty terrifying. The whole 50 minute drive to hospital I was just preparing myself for the worst thank goodness it didn't happen!

Midwife has no idea about why it happened. She was really calm and professional but she was worried too. She said it could have been a 'growth spurt' which left baby really tired and moving but really gently. Or because I've been to the gym lately to do some cycling and yoga an that could have tightened and swollen my muscles up so I felt less. Or baby was just in a mood.

So no one knows why I'm just happy it was nothing bad and that it has gone bac to being its usual wriggly beautiful self!

Hi ladies! I just now discovered this thread thanks to whittnie117. I'm due December 6th. Any way I could join in on the fun?

 

[August3]

Welcome, Kburt I'm due just 3 days before you. Hope your pregnancy has been going well.

 

[tintin10]

hello everyone....
my due is December 10.. Just so happy to find this site and got to talk here... Was somewhere in china right now and finding a fellow pregnant mom to talk to is a little impossible. Very few speaks English.

 

[Kaiecee]

I take Zantac prescribed by the dr. And the heartburn is still killing me

Welcome to the thread! There are some lovely ladies in here so you've found a good one

Congratulations on your baby girl... Team pink certainly dominates this thread! Xxx

welcome tintin10 What part of China are you from? I travelled from Beijing down the coast to Guizhou a few years ago and loved it!

I'm smothered with a head cold at the moment but not surprised. I started back teaching three weeks ago and it goes with the territory. Usually I'd be drinking lemsips but limited to paracetamol and don't want to take too many. Doesn't help that I'm snowed under with paperwork as well. (Sorry, to be so moany!)

Any pregnancy friendly tips of how to get rid of it will be gratefully received.

Yes please! Any advice appreciated. I'm a teacher too and as much as I tried to fight it, I've had one too many children sneeze on me these last 3 weeks and now I've got the lurgies too hope it goes quick and hope you feel better soon too!!!

 

[Kaiecee]

Anyone else still have morning sickness I still have it a couple times a day which sucks

 

[brit3435]

No morning sickness for me since 11 weeks and I still have yet to throw up during either of my pregnancies. They say morning sickness is worse with girls but it seems like the ladies who are having boys are sicker on this thread! Hope you feel better soon

As far as headaches and allergies I hate to take anything during pregnancy but the city I live in is currently number one for worst allergies in the us! I've taken Benadryl a couple of times and my dr says its safe. Tylenol works well for headaches but I haven't had one since the first tri. If you ladies have a fever or have more than mild symptoms I would call the dr to find out what else you can take that may be stronger.

Oh and I have horrible indigestion too! I've never had it in my whole life and now I keep a bottle of tums on my night table

Anyone else having trouble sleeping? I toss and turn and something is always uncomfortable either my hips back or bump. I have a preggy pillow and dh gives me a back massage before bed every night but I still can't sleep! Any suggestions would be appreciated!

 

[SugarBeth]

I've been getting morning sickness back recently. I remember last pregnancy it was the same, third tri had a lot of first tri symptoms. I'm hoping that it won't stick around though, the last thing I want is to go back to throwing up all day every day!

Trouble sleeping here too. Pregnancy pillow helps but not enough. I"m going to go to the chiropractor this week, usually that aligns me well enough to give me a few weeks of good sleep.

Welcome tintin10 and Kburt! You've been added to the front page

Officially 3rd trimester today!!

Sleeping is getting hard here too, I'm not necessarily sore or have any pains, l
just can't get comfortable. I toss and turn all night, wake up to pee like every hour and she has been more active during the night all of a sudden kicking my ribs...

Also I have my follow up to check my BP tomorrow afternoon. FX that it is back to normal, or at least not any higher.

Here is my first official bump pic at 28 weeks. I kept forgetting to take some pics but also for the longest time I just looked lumpy so I didn't want pics of that

 

[Kaiecee]

Indigestion was back for the first couple months but its going down but I do take my Zantac everyday for heartburn

For me I find I have a lot of dreams and I feel when I wake up I'm still tired
