[Twag]

Had a bit of a scare this morning had some awful pains from my back round to my front (just like my back labour) after going for a #2 - had some paracetamol and rested a bit and they seem to have gone but OMG was so scared not ready for my baby girl at 29 weeks

Catmummy - we are calling our little girl Isabella Aileen - Issy for short it has been her name for as long as I can remember now

 

[Mimzy3]

Smile glad baby is doing well!

Twag it was prob just Braxton Hicks if resting helped them go away. I have gotten a couple that are sort of painful and reach my back too and they always make me feel like I have to pee I had back labor the whole time with DS its no fun

I woke up during the night feeling nauseous and was able to finally fall back asleep and now all morning I've been feeling very nauseous I remember some nausea returning with DS during the second trimester, its no fun!

 

[Twag]

It took an hour and some paracetamol for them to go away if they were just BH then OMG labour is going to be worse this time around as BH last time didn't hurt like that

I also had back labour with my son and fully expect it this time

Still feeling a little off today bump is achy & sore and having to move about very slowly but little miss is moving about so reassuring

I also think I have reached the 30 week slump as I am exhausted

Sorry your feeling so sick Mimzy not fun I know how you feel mine has never gone away this time around

Hope you start to feel better soon

Twag- I heard that can happen if not enough fluid intake, so maybe you didn't drink enough wateR? I am glad everything is ok though!!

Afm-so my husband's aunt did pass away. We decided to do her name as a second middle name but unfortunately didn't get a chance to tell her before she passed, so that was hard. Calling hours are today and funeral tomorrow, I am hoping it goes ok. I am trying to stay positive and not too upset to hurt my baby girl!

 

[Twag]

I have heard this also but I had just got up and had the same to drink as I do every morning so is odd and I drank a lot of water the day before as I have been extra thristy - however, I have made sure I have drank a lot of water today which then involves a lot of peeing

So sorry to hear about your DH's aunt - hope the funeral isn't too hard on you

 

[Sunny27]

Glad to hear all is well Smile!!!

 

[Twag]

I was in the hospital for reduced fetal movement last night, but everything is ok - phew!

got my 28 week appt with my midwife this morning - today is when they start measuring fundal height - eek!!

Sorry missed this - glad to hear baby is A-Okay

Good luck with your 28 week appointment

 

[aley28]

Glad to hear everything is OK, Smile! I hope you get no more scares like that

I'm sorry about your DH's aunt passing, Amcollechi I hope the funeral isn't too hard on you or your DH!

Twag, I had some BH's last time that hurt like crazy... but then my actual labor with Parker involved little to no pain until it was time to push. So don't let the BH's scare you Though hopefully they go away and don't come back!!

AFM; I have a scan in a week very excited for that to get here!! Super worried that they'll see its actually another boy, when I think I've got it very much in my heart and head that its a girl. We get to do a 3D ultrasound of the face, which i've never done before, so I'm looking forward to that!

Yesterday a friend brought over her newborn and I could barely handle it. I'm really shocked at how hard it is to imagine having another baby - like literally having her here, in my house and arms and as the final member of our family - but after snuggling a tiny little guy yesterday I gotta say I am SO ready for it! That newborn smell... OMG. She's lucky I gave him back, I was ready to adopt him on the spot! I didn't know it was even possible to be THIS broody when this far pregnant! You'd think the little dances that my belly is constantly doing would remind me that I don't need to be broody, as I have a baby coming very soon.

 

[Mrs_Bump]

So uncomfortable now. Little lady seems to of sunk right down for the last 3 days and I can feel her head in my pelvis. Constant aching and when she try's to move her head I get lightening pains. I also seem to have lower back pain that won't quit and I had loads of braxton hicks yesterday. Not sure if I should be concerned but also have no experience with carrying a baby this low. My son didn't go down until I was fully dilated in labour. Seriously don't think I can do another 11 weeks like this.

 

[catmummyof4]

Wow so many ppl commenting today

Im so sorry about ur Dhs aunt i hope tomorrow isnt too bad

im on my 4th pregnancy and bhs have been different with each one iv not had many at all so far but had loooads with my son.

I cant believe were nearly there already!! Compared to my previous pregnancys that seemed to last foreeever

well afm im adjusting to being out of hospital still in unbelievable ammounts of pain because of tge gallbladder and on so many meds i feel sorry for my baby girl but i need it to get through.. i managed to get some cleaning done today. I think im nesting i need to keep cleaning lol! Xx

 

[Smile181c]

Thanks guys Baby's movements has picked right back up again so i'm happy (and sore! haha)

I'm really sorry about your DH's aunt Amcollechi, even though she didn't get to know about your name choice, it won't take anything away from the sentiment I'm sure

 

[lomelindi17]

Mrs. Bump sorry you're in pain, try some of the moves on SpinningBabies.com to maybe get her to move up a little. Sometimes mine does that and I'll be uncomfy for a little while but usually doing one of the upside-down positions helps.

Amcolecchi sorry about your dh's aunt, hope the funeral goes smoothly.

catmummy I hope the pains go away soon! That must be so awful! A friend of mine's sister is almost to her due date and had two episodes of gallstones during pregnancy, sounds terrible. Sending you healing vibes!

Aley I am so clucky too it's hilarious lol, getting excited/impatient/antsy to hold my baby! But I'm trying to be patient, I want baby to make it to 40 weeks for sure This is such a weird limbo time, it's our first so we're not really parents yet and life hasn't changed all that much yet but it's changed a little, just sitting here waiting for the huge shift is kinda strange haha. Baby has been more and more active and I think I'm bonding more with him/her, it's all so cool! I warned my dh he better watch out bc I enjoy being preggo a little too much lol!!

i'm the same at the moment, he feels so low, i'm so uncomfortable and the amount of Braxton hicks I've had today is ridiculous. I think they say if you have 4 or more in an hour your meant to call maternity ward. hope it's eased for you today.

 

[TexMel]

Had a checkup today. All of my labs from last week came back great!!

Also, I start going every 2 weeks now! Starting to feel like we're in the home stretch! Hello, third trimester!!!

 

[Mimzy3]

Had my check up yesterday too. Everything looked good besides my urine was dehydrated because I've been so sick, drinking water or anything for that matter doesn't sit well. I also will be going every two weeks now. The baby is only measuring one week ahead now and I've gained a total of 21lbs. Which I'm okay with because I know I've been eating mostly healthy foods and exercising.

This pregnancy was going by so fast and I was really enjoying how great I felt second trimester. But third trimester has already been really getting to me. I'm tired and have nausea again like first trimester! The thought of having another 10 weeks or so of this is exhausting but I know it will prob go fast and once baby is here than I will really be exhausted!

My doctor called today and said the results of my 28 week bloods were in and I am anaemic. Picked up my prescription for iron tablets earlier so hopefully I'll start to feel better soon!

 

[Amcolecchi]

Thank you ladies! It was a nice funeral and everything is going okay so far but thank you of thinking of our family!! Hope everyone is doing well!

hope they work for you, been on mine a week and don't feel much better, have to take them twice a day.

 

[littlesteph]

anyone else feel like baby is just getting lower?
with my boys they were high, but this little boy likes to stay low, feeling so uncomfortable, quite a few people have said i'm really low for how far along I am.

 

[Mrs_Bump]

It's so stupidly hot today that I decided to take a small nap after lunch. I was woken up by an odd cold sensation on my knee. My toddler was standing over me squeezing my new bottle of conditioner out on to me. He then proceeded to rub it in saying. 'First I do mummy's sun cream, then mummy go outside.' Sweet but gross, mainly gross. Dh thought this was hilarious, I thought he should of been watching him more carefully. Life with a toddler, lol.
