mrs bump that's so cute.


got my growth scan monday, actually pretty worried about. i'm hoping he's growing ok, but can't shake the feeling his growth has slowed. the fact that so many people have commented on how low my bump is doesn't help.
last night baby decided he was going to freak me out. sorry tmi he was so low that when I was sat on the loo it felt like I needed to poo and that he was trying to push himself through.

I can't for the life of me figure out what position she is in. They said she was head down a few weeks ago at my scan, but I feel movement all over, low and high everyday....

3rd trimester as of yesterday!!!

Heartburn/indigestion is my main complaint right now. My dinner I ate at 330pm was bothering me at 2am! I was given prescription for acid reflux which reduces my stomach acid, so I think that's slowing my digestion even more. When I was laying down it felt like my dinner was sitting in my chest and if I burped it would come up

I'm having a lot more heartburn during this trimester too, DHBH! If I'm careful about what I eat, I do OK - chocolate, pizza, spaghetti (tomato sauce ) are some of the worst things for me these days... they upset my stomach for more than a day afterward. Had pizza last night and I STILL had heartburn when I got up this morning, which was 13 HOURS after I had eaten!

But for the most part I've been able to skip meds and get along just fine with careful eating and Tums. Which is great!! I do have a prescription for Protonix, but haven't been taking it except on the days I wake up with a sour stomach, or if I know that we're planning pizza for dinner.

I've started mine. I watched a couple of you tube videos and made a list while I watched, ignoring what I didn't need last time.

 

[aley28]

I've not even thought about my hospital bag yet. Didn't pack with Ethan until we were heading into the hospital, and packed the night before induction with Parker, I think.

I'll definitely be going out to grab stuff for it soon, I just don't feel ready yet.

 

[Mrs_Bump]

I don't feel even slightly ready but I've been told to pack for 32 weeks just in case my placenta is failing. Don't feel like it'll happen that early but I'd still rather safe than sorry.

 

[catmummyof4]

Tbh i am ready now. I just cant wait to hold her! X

 

[Twag]

30 weeks 10 week countdown wohoo

 

[catmummyof4]

[Mrs_Bump]

No bag packed yet here, will probably start one sometime after 30 weeks.

Still SO much I want to do and 3 months doesn't seem that long! I'm very much not ready for this baby to come. I have everything I need for her just more projects and cleaning I want to get done. Also this is my last baby so trying (even when uncomfortable) to enjoy the pregnancy and want to enjoy my last bit of time with DD1 being an only child

Not to mention DD1 is not sleeping well due to 2 year molars coming in, I hope she is done with them by November so she is sleeping through the night again.

These 3 months can take their time

I haven't packed my bag yet was thinking of doing it around 34/35 weeks I think I have most things to go in it although not sorted & washed etc

Am I leaving it too late

 

[Tricks26]

I am still awaiting on this extra energy also

I wasn't thinking really of mine either and now I am seeing talk of it I am getting a little panicked

Not going to pack my hospital bag yet. Prob not till lest 37 weeks as I don't think I'll go into labor before then.

I have such terrible heartburn all day, every day now I hardly ever drink pop so that isn't whats triggered it. They do say its true the more hair they have the worse your heartburn is and at my 15 week ultrasound she could already see he had hair! And the tech mentioned it at the 20 week US too. With DS I had horrible HB and he was born with a head full of hair. I'm just taking Tums...no matter what I eat I get it so that doesn't seem to matter Although the Tums only work for a minute or two before it returns Wonder if you can take too many Tums?!

I too want to enjoy this pregnancy since it is most likely my last. And second trimester I was feeling great but now with nausea, exhaustion, and terrible heartburn I can't help but be in a sour mood

Littlesteph hope your scan goes well today let us know!

 

[Twag]

This is my last pregnancy and I really wanted to enjoy it but damn I just want the weeks to fly by so I can meet her and we can have our complete little family!

I am so done with being uncomfortable at work, tired & cranky and not able to sleep at night! I don't mind the sleep deprivation when she is here as just looking at baby makes all that go away and you lay watching them sleep

 

[Sunny27]

Good luck with your scan Littlesteph.

 

[aley28]

Twag, I'll probably pack my bag around 38 weeks. I'll have everything I need before then, but I probably won't throw it all in a bag until much later than necessary


Anybody get lower backaches?? I never dealt with this in my last pregnancies (at least, that I can remember!) I wake up with a sore back in the mornings a lot of times, and then it goes away when I get up, but it took more than an hour to ease this morning - no amount of stretching or extending it seemed to help. What else can I do!? I think my posture must be horrendous, but I can't seem to get myself aligned.
