Any Scottish April 2013 babies out there??

[lj2245]

Hurrah! Mine is so much worse today It was grinding all night last night and I couldn't get comfy at all. I'm too big now to be able to lie on my back for anything more than 5 mins and my hips are KILLING me. Ugh.

Roll on April

Surprise surprise I have developed a pain in my pubic bone area too. Its not constant thankfully. Just feels like its going to split in 2 now and again.

I really felt for that girl on OBEM as well. Was a bit surprised that her best friend refused to be her birthing partner.

Apart from being shattered today has been the best day EVER!!! I got the wage slips but even better than that...

The company I interviewed with in November called me today offering me a part time post from Monday until I want to go on maternity leave It's brilliant news. I figure I will work as long as I can but hopefully until the last week in March when the schools go on Easter Holidays It means I'll be bringing in extra cash and it also means I can delay my application for MA. If I wasn't working my payments would start from next week but if I have a job I can decide when they start, which means they will last until January 2014 instead of October 2013

Hurrah!!!

Yay! Great news Laura!! I'm so chuffed for you! Will you manage to work with your spd being so bad though? Maybe work will be a good distraction?

That's crap you've got pain as well Karen. Mine is the same. Only had it a few times today. Doesn't last long but its mega painful! Maybe it's just pressure fom baby's head or something.

I think it's normal to have SOME pain in your pelvis as hormones loosen ligaments to separate your pelvic bones. I think it becomes a problem when the bones get too loose and grind/bang together. I guess you can only wait and see. I did get a lot of help when I was pregnant with Shaun, I got crutches and a support belt and a physio. This time they said they dont supply the belts any more but you can get physio advice and crutches. I already have crutches for my arthritis and remember the physio advice from last time so I am just managing it on my own.

I hope to be able to manage work. They couple that own the business are fully aware of my situation and have said I can take my maternity ball and rest frequently. I can also go on maternity leave as soon as I need to

 

[bbymc]

Sounds like they'll be good to work for! Beats my work any day! Fingers crossed you manage til the end of march! It'll be great for you to have distraction of work. I'm finding the days dragging on and on cos I'm not at work.

Yeah, I doubt we'll get anything as bad as you've been with your spd Laura. I reckon at this stage it's probably pretty standard. I'm just paranoid cos my sis in law had it with 2 of her pregnancies and she couldn't walk or do anything in the end and was in complete agony. That scares me!!

 

[Kaybee]

Laura that is brill news I am so pleased for you. The couple sound really great too.


I was thinking my pelvis pain was just the standard loosening. Had to walk about a bit today and it really nips when walking but not agony. Might try look up some yoga positions and see if I can do some stretching.

Can't remember if its been mentioned in here but asda baby event started online today. Am away to have a wee look!

 

[Cherrybump]

Hey ladies. It was a council house im going for lol pain in the butt waiting lol. Oh i watched OBEM last night poor girl felt so bad for her. But at the end of it (week later) her mum got through wish made me bubble away again x

Can't remember if its been mentioned in here but asda baby event started online today. Am away to have a wee look!

Yeah they have the 6 pack of tommee tippee bottles for £10, which is even better than the £12 I got them for in the tesco sale!!

 

[bbymc]

i went on the asda site but i couldn't see anything about a baby event

Ryan just came in the door from work and somethin had clearly annoyed him so he was a bit moody. No big deal normally but tonight it somehow resulted in me turning into a hormonal greetin face! Lol. I laugh now, but it really wasnt funny. Clearly everything's just taking its toll but, jeez! I felt pretty sorry for Ryan afterwards! He was askin me what was wrong and why i was upset and i felt like a right idiot cos i had to say that i didn't really know. Lol! I feel much better now I've had a good cry though lol. I guess that's pregnancy hormones in all their glory lol. Never done anything like that before. Duno what came over me. Lol

 

[lj2245]

I doubt it will be the last time that happens hehe I've been ok this time but with Shaun I was a wreck. I remember having a full blown breakdown in a shop because they didn't have any bananas! To be fair, I had terrible ms and all I could eat was toast and banana so to me, it was the end of the world. There was also a story in take a break about a dying woman who knitted Santas for her family and that had me roaring and crying. My sister thought it was hilarious and stole the article. She used to wave it about all the time to set me off again!!

 

[bbymc]

lol. Its weird how its simple silly things that can set it off. I felt so stupid but i had absolutely no control over it. Lol. Fingers crossed it doesnt happen again! At least i was at home and Ryan was there. I'd have been so embarrassed if it was in a shop like your banana incident

i had a lovely dream last night. Dreamt i had given birth and was in the hospital bed holding the baby up nxt to my shoulder. It was sound asleep all cuddled in and i was just contentedly listening to it breathing. That was the whole dream lol. It was lovely though. I woke up feeling so relaxed lol.

Hi girls, apologies for the mega delayed post!!

Great news about your job Laura!! Hope it goes well and it's great they're being so flexible with you already!!

I've been getting spd too I think started off two weeks ago feeling like I had pulled a muscle at the top of my leg. Now it's agony every time I roll over and a throbbing pain in my pelvis that comes and goes but when it's there, it's really sore! U've taken to sitting on a hot water bottle at work every so often to try and relieve it. Called my midwife who has booked me in for physio but first available appointment is the 30th.

It sucks we're all feeling so sore! I'm sure our babas will be worth it in the end

Cheryl I hope you can get the house sorted soon. We had someone come to view our flat today. They seemed to really like it so hopefully they'll put an offer in and we can get the house we want!

Xx

So got my blood test results today and I have been exposed to the slapped cheek virus. When my doctor phoned me he said that as I was over 20 weeks they were not going to do anything but note it in my maternity records. Then a while later a specialist from ninewells phoned me and says they want me to come in on monday for an emergency scan and then they will scan me a week later to check baby progress. She did say they are being cautious and that there is a less than 3% risk to baby but I also thought it was unlikely to get the virus as an adult. I dont even know when I will be seen just to be there for 9 and they will fit me in.

Emma your dream sounds lovely

 

[lj2245]

Aww no. You must be so worried but it will be lovely to see your wee man again Fingers crossed everything is ok, I'm sure it will be but glad they are being cautious.

 

[bbymc]

Aww that's a worry Karen! I'm sure the wee man is safe and sound in there though. It's good the hospital are being cautious. Not much fun for you, but at least you'll get to see him again. I hope you don't have to spend too long waiting to be seen on Monday!

We're just back from our 3d scan. Baby was lying awkwardly and wouldn't move and kept turning its head away lol. So we got some pics but they said they weren't very good, the video is quite rubbish. So we've to go back for a retry when I'm 32 weeks and baby has much less space to move away lol.

 

[bbymc]

I've tried to add some pics to this. Hope it works.

 

[Kaybee]

Your pics are good Emma. How exciting that you get to go back for another scan AND its free...that's my fave price

Well I thought there was a 3% risk but a girl on a slapped cheek thread has said its 33% risk of me passing it on to baby and it can take up to 10 weeks for baby to 'catch' it. Hurry up Monday!

 

[arlene]

Aww Karen, hop everything goes ok on Monday, I'm sure bubs is fine!

Lovely pics Emma!! Xx
