Anyone else expecting a November sparkler? *Updated with due dates!*

I've been getting foot cramp several times a night for the past few months. Tonight though as I was sitting on the sofa with my legs up, I suddenly got the most painful cramp in the toes, ball of my foot, arch of my foot, shin and calf all at once. I was in total agony and nearly screamed with pain it was so bad. Lasted about 5 mins and nothing at all relieved it. Anyone else had anything similar?
 
Cramps are common in pregnancy. Try increasing your magnesium (I'm on a nettle tea kick, as it's great for iron, magnesium, and calcium). And you can try tonic water, as the quinine helps. I make preggo cocktails with it, as it's quite bitter. Juice, coconut water, and tonic water to top it off, all over ice.

I got a horrendous foot cramp yesterday. I was at the zoo and it was after about 4.5 hrs of walking so that's why I think I got it. But I've never felt anything like it before, couldn't walk for about 5.minutes and it felt sore the rest of the day. I blame it on being pregnant bc my body has never been that sensitive to a day of walking before.
 
I have been getting leg cramps for the last few weeks or so now...extremely painful...I feel your pain girl!
 
Well since I was last on here I have moved house not recommended at 31 weeks pregnant. I have been having contractions for the past 2 weeks luckly the midwife says they are not doing much im trying to take it easy so I make it a few more weeks not easy wirh 3 toddlers and a new house to sort out lol

Its worrying when you start getting twinges early hang in there littleones
 
Re: leg cramps....I've been having these in bed at night (along with restless legs which is annoying). As soon as the cramp comes on, If you stretch your foot as though you are trying to point your toes towards your chin, it almost instantly stops the cramp. Not sure if this works for foot cramp too as I haven't had that, but its fab for stopping leg cramp dead in its tracks.

2 weeks left at work including today and I'm looking forward to finishing now. Will give me 7-9 weeks to get he new house ready after the move, wash the baby clothes and pre-wash the cloth nappies several times to sort their absorbancy out before we use them. Time feels like it has sped up again, but I think it will probably start to drag again when I get towards 37 odd weeks.

Good luck with the scan today Peanut.

By the way, I have come off facebook for a while (probably until after I have little man now) as I have had some issues with one of my (now ex) friends and I can't be arsed to deal with the grief. Figured it was less stress coming off and that way, I can avoid all the inevitable quetsions about "have you had him yet" etc. Will try and post on here more so I am not losing touch with everyone xx
 
scan tomorrow, I think she has def. dropped if nothing else. And wow! she is getting so strong. Even DH felt her craziness in moving yesterday.
 
Hope the scan goes well today Peanut :) Let us know how you get one.

Had the midwife today, was pretty uneventful. I saw the GP (my practice policy) and she wanted me out the room as quick as possible! Im just glad all is as it should be.

hope everyone else is well xxx
 
My work are so bloody annoying. They have apparently scanned my MATB1 form, emailed it to HR and thrown away the original! HR said they have to have the original else they won't be able to process my mat leave and sort pay out. RAH!

Thankfully, after some persuasion, my lovely GP will do me another one and write copy on the top as apparenltly they aren't supposed to re-issue the forms. Not sure what the hell my work were thinking of.....surely they knew it was the form I gave them and should have checked if I needed it back first before just binning it.

Anyway, rant over. Hope scan went well today Peanut and little Zaya is behaving herself :)
 
scan was okay today, except she was being a booger and didn't want to show off her practice breathing. So that led to NST which my BP was to high. So that led to them saying a 24 hour stay in hospital to monitor me. after 3 hours BP was fine the enire 3 hours. I just needed DH with me as always. I am home. Have to do a 24 hour urine collection and scan and growth on Friday
 
Baby update. had scan today and Baby Zaya has gained a lot. She is 3lbs. 15oz. this weeks so 1lb. gain in two weeks. She is now in the 14-15% from the 6% so she is doing great now. Smaller side but still great. So glad they didn't try to take her early and gave her the chance she needed to gain the weight.
 
Wonderful news! I hope she gets to stay in as long as she can. You're doing a great job growing her!
 
i had a scan yesterday and my little boy is already 5lbs 11oz and is 32 weeks. tried getting a good 4D scan but he kept hiding his little face. he has chubby cheeks from what we saw and a big head hahaha. just like his dad (10lber!)

i woke up to an extremely painful braxton hicks the other day. i yelped out in pain. i also peed a little thanks to the pressure. the rest of that day and the following day i had the worst dull pain with back pain yesterday. i'm also finding round ligament pain is getting worse with each day. i pretty much have to pick a side to sleep on and never move. seriously, moving from one side to the other makes me cry. also the heartburn i get gahhh.

it's crazy to know there isn't that long to go until he's born. im seriously starting to get nervous about whether i will actually be an okay mother (i was always one of those "i'll never have kids types" :'/
 
Fab news Peanut.

Wow Lavender, what a weight for 32 weeks. I have no idea how much baby is weighing at the mo, but most books seem to think around 3-3.25 lbs at my stage. Dying to meet him now though.

I had midwife yesterday and fundal height was 30cm at 31 weeks, but I think they give you 2cm each way as it's only an approximate idea isn't it. Baby has been head down since around 25 weeks and was still head down yesterday, so hoping he has got comfortable and stays there now until he engages.

Have a good weekend everyone :)
 
Hi all, just a quick update - maternity leave started today - woohoo!!

I know some would think it early but I want to rest and get things organised for bub arriving. 49 days to go, so exciting!!!!

Hope everyone else is well. glad baby is getting bigger Peanut and staying put xx
 
JDH, never too early to be on leave. So excited for you!!! :D

miss_k, that's great! stay down, little baby :)

Lavender, I'm sure you'll be a great mom! As everyone says, the fact that you show concern about being a good mom is already proof that you will be at least a good mom!!! I hope the pain is minimal for you...sounds like discomfort is high because your LO is already taking up a bit of space. Only 5-8 more weeks, likely! <3

Peanut, Zaya is the sweetest girl. So glad she is beefing up ;)


AFM, there is a city wide garage/yard sale this weekend. I went around with some friends and got a few good scores for baby items. It's kind of nice being team yellow otherwise I'd want to buy EVERYTHING haha. But I was able to get 4 new onsies, 2 baby bath robes, 6 of those multi-use burp cloths, and a nice pair of PJs for $4 total. :) Besides that, just trying to prep for the baby shower. It's a month away still. I am growing anxious! I am so thankful for the opportunity to have a shower, what a blessing <3
 
FOUR DOLLARS!?!?!? MAJOR SCORE!!!

Yea, knowing gender definitely makes you want to spend more....or maybe just having a theme? Aidan's nursery theme is forest animals and we went to Costco tonight. They had several new Carters outfits with foxes and raccoons. We bought 4 of the 5 of them. Oops.
