Was out and about in the high street today and returned home in so much pain! Any time he moves it's like his on a nerve? My lower back kills and the lightning crotch it's getting out of hand.

I know that feeling its brutal all wee ones movements are painful now xx
 
I'm making an extra effort every day this week to make sure me and ds walk to and from nursery, 1 because the weather is getting nicer and 2 for the extra excercise! However lightening crotch was horrendous today walking back up the hill. Won't be long now ladies for us all x
 
I haven't been doing too much walking. I'm afraid of the crotch/pelvic pain. I remember the first walk I took with my last pregnancy that cause that pain for a week. I also don't want the twins to come too early so trying not to get anything moving/spreading.

I think the cooler weather helped, my swelling stayed away today. Or it was very minimal/not noticeable and definitely not painful like it was last week.

I've been interviewing for nannies over the last week. I really hate interviewing for nannies. They seem like a commodity and I can't get the experience I want for what I can pay and I don't want to scare away any potential good ones who will accept what I can afford, but I still want the best one.
 
Walking is horrible :nope: :hugs: So uncomfortable and painful. I refuse to stop because the exercise is good and the weather is so beautiful here in the uk at the moment but my goodness. Not long ladies, not long xx
 
I've developed acute carpal tunnel from swelling in my arms and hands. My fingers feel like they are going to burst sometimes, and I haven't been able to feel my fingertips in a month. They started hurting so badly when I was sleeping, even with wrist braces, that I was having to get up 4-5 times a night. My doctor finally referred me to physical therapy, and now I have to go twice a week to manage the pain. If you let things get too bad for too long, apparently you can do some permanent nerve damage. So, if your swelling is very painful and you're not able to find ways to manage it, definitely tell your doctor!!
 
Are you ladies using your pregnancy balls yet and if so how long for, im finding its helping with sleeping through spd xx
 
I've never had a pregnancy ball in any of my pregnancies. Do you ladies really rate them? Never been entirely sure what their purpose is...
 
I have been using my ball for a couple weeks. It helps work out the pain. I'm on it an hour or two at a time :)
 
Yeah OH got me a ball a few weeks back, apparently helps with aches and back pains but I've not really used it much..
 
it really has helped with pelvic pain this time around xx and the closer you get it apparently helps the baby go down xxx
 
I find it really helps with spd and back pain, it's almost like it realigns me. It's super comfy to sit on too and I find it easier to get up from than the sofa.
 
I took my friend's toddler to the store with me last night so they could their taxes and boy am I sore today. She loves to cuddle so I carried her for a bit at the end- not long because I don't want to hurt myself BUT it apparently took it's toll. (the shopping or playing at my house afterwards. :winkwink:) I was SO sore last night every time I had to pee AND this morning.

I am so ready to not have my hips sing the rice krispies song. :haha:
 
Ok girls, im so fed up and done with this pregnancy.
What are you all most looking forward to once bub finally arrives ( other than your precious baby lol )
Im looking forward to being able to lay how ever i want in bed without needing a million pillows, a glass of wine, waking up without feeling like ive been on the drink all night, and generally just being without pain.
 
I hav a birthing ball and find it so comfortable, especially helps my back pain.

I'm most looking forward to not going for a wee a million times a day and a nice glass of wine!

Being able to chuffing move!!!!

And being out of pain with my hernias (especially once they've been fixed... Seeing surgeon again 6 weeks after baby).

Eating boiled eggs and soldiers, and pate, and going for a jog, being able to sit and build lego with my son, being able to wear nice shoes again, and normal jeans, so so many things haha!

We're due date buddies, not long to go!
 
Heartburn and a lopsided bump tonight ahaha!

Anyone else get a funny shaped bump? It happens usually when I get out of bed or a laying position.
 
Mine has a huge lump our front where my hernias are. It makes me a bit self conscious but not long to go!
 
Started my weekly appointments! Cervix is closed as of now, which is expected. I asked if the baby was large as they measured my uterus and he's on the higher side of normal. The doctor told me that between 35-36 weeks the measurement should be between 34-38 cm and and that the little man was measuring at 37-38 cm. They're going to keep an eye on him and if the measurement starts getting too big, they're going to do an ultrasound between 37-38 weeks. And if he's really big, they're going to talk about inducing me around 38-39 weeks. He said that if this becomes a concern, they definitely won't let me go past my due date.

So my father and my brother are both 6'8", the father of the baby is 6'3" and I'm over 6' myself, which is why this is a concern to us. Either way, as long as the baby is happy and healthy, it makes no difference to me. :)

ditto. sleeping on my belly again. hands down. I want to sleep on my belly! the bottle of wine that has been sitting on my counter since my birthday. I'll probably be drunk after half a glass but still.... wine!! and being off of work for my maternity leave. Just home, still resting with my little man. and seeing what he looks like. god I am dying to know what he looks like. this is the worst kind of anticipation. I daydream about him all day everyday. I think I'm inventing what I think his little face is going to look like in my head because I want to see him so badly. and having his name settled. signed on his birth certificate. I feel like my husband is a walking grenade waiting to spring some last minute decision on me that I don't know if I'll like. and being myself again. I mean not totally myself.

oh, and one more thing.. normal sex. there. said it. but, I really want my husband on top, not treating me like a pregnant lady sex. I kind of embarrassed myself. oh well..
