[emma4g63]

Try take it easy through nesting stage...

Welcome bunanie
..good luck working until 37 weeks....im planning until 38 weeks but my recent high bp may meen i dont

 

[babyjan]

I literally can't sit the pain is that extreme. I spoke to a midwife and all she said was take co codomol and to get a belt. When I went mothercare they said they'd order one in but I figured it could possible arrive too late!

By the time I'm reffered to physio I could have the baby.

Oh and she said the pain will get worse once he starts engaging got my midwife apt tomorrow x

 

[salamander91]

Sorry to you ladies with back pain. I had horrendous pain the last week I was pregnant with my son on cocodamol, heat pads and the only time I was even slightly comfortable was sat on the birthing ball. I didn't sleep for a week! It hasn't happened this time thankfully and section in 6 days so FX I can avoid it!

Welcome Bunanie!
--------------------
6 days salamander?! No fair!!
Hopefully all goes well for you
--------------------
I have done practically nothing today other than chase/feed my son and I am still somehow exhausted. I have told my husband not to expect any cleaning after our baby shower on Sunday. It's the last time anyone will be coming over until she gets here and I really can't be bothered. Maybe verrry light cleaning if I suspect labor but otherwise I am so done.

I thought I was going to go into preterm labor this morning. Had a sudden bought of nausea on the way to work with a terrible rhythmic ache in my back and actually threw up in the parking lot at work. If I hadn't needed to be at work I would have had to tried to make it back home to rest.

Luckily things settled down once I got to my desk and started sipping on some water. Still getting 2-3 BH an hour but no other aches. The girls are much more active then they have been.

Feet are still swollen, bp is fine though. Next apt isn't until Monday when they have their growth scan and non stress test.

I feel like my baby boy is bobbing up and down on my cervix. It's a little sharpness I don't like. My docs nurse said as long as it's not a constant thing it's probably pushing on the cervix, but now it's getting a little more frequent. Silly baby.

Next docs is Thursday, March 24th. I wonder if my doc will check my cervix???

I hope he comes early. I don't want to wait another 6 weeks.

 

[xSweetTartx]

Hopefully those little girls calm down and stay put for you Christie!
-----------------------
Mikihob, they may if you are concerned but it depends on the doctor or midwife. I'm hoping to get checked next week at 36 weeks but they probably won't until 37.

 

[Christie2011]

My me checked me at 33 weeks. Probably bc I told her there were times I probav 'll y had more than 4-5 BH in an hour. I don't remember with my first, probably not til 37 or 38 and that was only because I wanted them to check.

 

[Misscalais]

Thanks girls! Feeling so much better today, did a heap of stretches though tears and it really helped. Hopefully it doesn't come back too much more over the next 2 weeks. I totally want to start doing things like nipple stimulation and sex to try see if I can bring labour on but hubby is so busy at work i have to wait until at least easter long weekend to try anything. I really should just be hoping that ill have a due date baby because my mum doesn't arrive to mind my boys until my due date so we would have to have fil and step mil mind them and they haven't even seen DS3 more than 10 times since he was born let alone look after him so it worries me.

Sounds like lightning crotch. Very painful and annoying.

Hope your bubbas stay for a little while longer! I still have my swelling too but bp fine and midwife isn't worried at all.

A little late joining this thread but here I am!!
I'm technically due April 21 by my LMP at the doc but I go by my O date which puts me due April 24. So while I say I will be 35 weeks on Sunday, I'm technically already there!

Since I get like no sleep I will catch up on this thread in no time! If you ladies will have me? I see lots of familiar names :wave:

Welcome. Snap on the due date.

Swollen ankles for third day running. Have my midwife appointment late morning then an anti natal class early afternoon. Working from home around the appointments which is great as saves me the three hours of commuting I'd have been doing.

Looking forward to a long weekend for Easter. Determined to work up till the 8th but know it might be a struggle in the last couple of weeks.

 

[Redhead84]

No sign of anything at all happening here despite being active all day.

Insomnia has kicked in massively now though so I'm running on empty a little.

Had to go get bp checked on Weds because I had a visual migraine which left me with partial vision in my left eye. I do get them from time to time though and my bp was actually lower than it has been in the last 6 weeks or so so all good.

Getting a tumble dryer for the first time ever tomorrow, so so excited, and then getting a new car next week, estate family wagon

I'm huge and bored now but want baby to stay put a while longer, getting my bikini wax on Tuesday and selfish me wants all clean and tidy before having to deal with labour haha!!!

I finally told my husband that I wanted my secrets to be all neat for labor but I really can't show a stranger so as uncomfortable as it is he's going to give me a hand. I'm like you. So ready to not be pregnant anymore but want him to be as big and healthy as I can make him. I know in the bigger picture a few weeks goes by so fast but every day seems to take so long. I sucked it up through all the morning sickness but this is something else entirely. Kinda like trying to walk around in ski boots all day every day. Unbelievably uncomfortable.

I don't trust my husband

I had it done last time too and it's painful but all over in 20 minutes and the beauticians I go to are the best I've ever found for it so happy I'm in safe hands.

I've just about managed to make a cake with my son today as he was badgering me, thank heavens for my Kenwood is all I can say!
