What size feet have you got?

 

[bbymc]

I've got big feet for my height. Size 6. Why?

 

[Cherrybump]

Lol when my midwife guessed Paiges weight she said she would be around 8lbs when born :S but people keep telling not to go with what she says as their babies have been smaller lol. I think my midwife takes alot of ladies in this area as everyone i know who's pregnant has her lol. x

 

[bbymc]

Lol. Yeah well I'm taking it with a pinch of salt as its just a guess at the end of the day x

The bigger your shoe size, the bigger your pelvic....umm....space? They use feet size as a guide when assessing whether a woman will be able to birth a big baby. I am size 8 so I know I have no problem. Your size 6's are good too

 

[Cherrybump]

ooooh im a size 7 lol So i should be ok then to lol.. xxx

Oh really!? That's good to know. Quite reassuring!

I'm so sore tonight. My rib pain is so bad and my pelvis is the worst ever! I've been stuck on the couch for ages cos its too sore to move think I'm gona go to bed soon just so I don't need to move again for a while.

I sat on my ball and built the drawers for the nursery. I've put them in the hall outside the nursery so I can iron and put away baby's clothes

 

[bbymc]

Thats good. Every wee bit helps! Your pelvis any better?

We've hardly got any clothes for baby. Lots of vests and plain sleep suits but no actual clothes lol. Hopefully we'll get lots as gifts!

Hey girls.

We need to go look for a set of drawers for James. All of his stuff is sitting in a plastic box under our bed! John is going to build the Moses basket stand when he's off on friday too

Last day at work for me today!! Finally!

Hope you're all feeling a bit better xx

 

[lj2245]

Aww I hope you have a good last day

I wish I'd got Ikea Malm drawers for our nursery. We have them in my room and Shaun's and they are sooo sturdy and roomy. I decided to get a matching nursery set though and the drawers are tiny.

Emma, my pelvis is getting worse and worse. I could hardly sleep again last night.

 

[bbymc]

We went with ikea stuff to save money but also the drawers are pretty big and you can fit those organising box things in them too. It's a shame the drawers are on the small side laura. Fo you have much hanging space?

What a shame about your pelvis! Are you on crutches full time now? I really hope for your sake that Alex decides to come early! My pelvis is definitely getting worse too. I was sore to move before but now it never goes away at all

Hooray for your last day at work Arlene! I bet you're relieved! Id have loved to work til this late on so you're lucky in a way lol. Now time to relax for a wee while b4 James comes along. You've not got much left to do for him coming have you?

 

[Cherrybump]

Have a nice last night hun .

I really wish i had a 2 bedroom house so i could give Paige her own room lol just need to keep bidding .

Sucks both of you have really sore pelvis. must be pretty tough moving around.

I dont have nothing really to update. Had a good sleep few aches and pains but nothing different lol xx

 

[lj2245]

My SPD isn't too bad during the day so I'm managing without the crutches. Tbh, moving about seems to help it. It's at night when I'm lying on my side that it's agony!

I'm so excited. I'm going to iron and put away all the wee clothes today I can't believe I'm so excited about ironing!

 

[Cherrybump]

lol i get that bored being in the house that i wanna go through to the bed room and pull out the drawers ive popped her clothes in and re put them back in again.. Im that bored or my nesting is getting the better of me lol xx

 

[bbymc]

Thats funny. I was thinking about just going and sorting stuff in the nursery. Nothing much to sort lol. Probably just end up folding and refolding the clothes lol. I just feel like I need to do something.

My pelvis is usually not bad during the day either cos I just power through it. Once im moving Im ok unless I overdo it, which I often do :-/ Yesterday was an acception though. Was sore all day! Usually I cant get out of bed at night and Ryan has to pull me up. I went into spasm last night too which was agony!!

Thats great you're managing without crutches though. Is your big pillow not helping at night anymore? Ive abandoned using pillows now. It used to help, but does nothing now!

 

[lj2245]

Nope, nothing helps. I'm having to pop the joins in my pelvis about 10 times a night just to get some relief! I also woke up with stiff hands so looks like the carpal tunnel is back but at least it's only for a couple of weeks this time!

 

[bbymc]

aww thats rotten luck! At least the end is in sight now though lol. I keep thinking only 2 weeks, if i think it might be closer to 4 weeks i think i might have a breakdown lol.

I was just reading a thread on 3rd tri about hospitals being overcrowded atm. Thats got me worried! :-/

 

[lj2245]

Yeah I posted on that thread. My midwife was banging on about the baby boom yesterday. I'm sure we will all be ok though! I only have Wishaw to go to so they need to let me in and find me a bed lol!
