April ladies ...were having our babies THIS month :)

[xSweetTartx]

Thanks ladies! The pattern for that one was really simple and I am sure it could be done by hand if you don't have a machine. Plus it was a free pattern! Today I am working with a floral print and a different pattern. Will post a picture once it's done!

I hope that your daughter feels better soon emma! My son was pretty sick a couple weeks ago and it was crushing.

I admire those of you who are cleaning! I lost my physical energy and just picking up a room at a time is trying. My pelvis and back hurt soooo bad. As it is, I am going to make my husband do 70% of the cleaning when the shower comes around.

Anyone else dropped yet?

All day yesterday I was feeling more lower movements than normal. And this morning it was very obvious that I've dropped. Had a lower bump in the first place and now it's much lower. Getting lots of movements in my pelvis, and a few times it's felt like if I were to stand that she'll just fall out! DS didn't get past 3/5 engaged before he popped back out. So this is a pretty new feeling for me.

Also had the tiniest bit of jelly like blood, which I think was a bit of mucus plug. Never saw anything with DS.

I don't think I've dropped quite yet. She hasn't decided if she wants to stay head down or not yet

 

[Misscalais]

My bub is low and people say ive dropped but i don't think i have. Not engaged at all i think she pops in and out.

 

[Qmama79]

I do quite a bit of walking & today it was lightning crotch & pressure down below with every step. I'm pretty sure he's dropped, but still sideways? Head in pelvis, bum near bellybutton and feet without fail on right side. At least he's not poking my ribs, just the kidneys! Seeing doc tomorrow & will ask about positioning.

Very pretty dress! I've only made wipes...can't seem to do anything else with my machine... Where did you learn?

 

[Redhead84]

Cute dresses. My mum is the really good seamstress in my family, though her Parkinson's limits that now sadly.


I've got an interesting issue 4 weeks out. My 3 year old boy has suddenly decided there are ghosts in his bedroom (or more specifically the spare room he's in at the moment because his is being redone after a hole in the roof caused a few issues).

He's been in there for weeks without an issue and has a night light etc but the oast 2 nights he's come into our room saying he's scared. Getting him to bed last night he was really frightened and wouldn't let me leave him until he was sound asleep. Need to get him back sleeping through on his own - he's never ever been one for sleeping with us until now, good timing huh!!

 

[Brunette_21]

Im 8 weeks out and my dd is also now acting strange clingy and waking at 3/4 every night crying, which weirdly happens at the same time i wake up with severe braxton hicks xx ive been wondering if its a sign things are getting close xxx

 

[babyjan]

Argh not feeling great came down with something and so has my son who got high temp and coughing! His going to see the Dr in a bit and I will try mention my symptoms.

It hurts when I cough like my whole chest, my joints and whole body aches, I feel cold and I can barely move

Anything I can take to help a lil?

Thank you! I taught myself actually. I was hand sewing at 12 years old and then around 16 my grandmother bought me my first machine. I took a year of fashion which taught me a few tricks but youtube is a great place to go for techniques. The floral dress was also a free pattern. Really simple!

 

[xSweetTartx]

babyjan, when I had a cold last month I was told I could have cough drops, hot tea and take doses of children's cold medicine. Has to be alcohol free

Anyone else's hips KILLING them? They're constantly sore but the worst is at night when I'm trying to sleep. And oddly enough, it's normally the hip I'm sleeping on that gets super sore, not the other one. Any tips on relieving the pain? It's really disrupting my already horrible sleep pattern. LO is not that low as he's still getting me in the ribs (well, bladder too, but I think he's just long) and I don't have any crazy pressure. Although he is head down already...

 

[xSweetTartx]

The only thing that helps a little for me is extra pillows.
Still hurting but less.

 

[dani_tinks]

I agree, plenty of pillows. Nothing really works though. I toss and turn all night due to hip pain, but of course tossing and turning is painful in itself. No win situation xx

Hot bath, drink hot water with a spoon of honey & lemon plus an early night hope you feel better soon x

Nope, mine are!

We actually have just spent an absolute fortune on a new mattress for our bed because of this issue, though we were due to buy one anyway. It's even got different spring tensions on either side as me and my husband can't agree!

It is helping loads but a body pillow helps as well. I've found they hurt the most when I try and sit cross legged on the floor to play with my son.

 

[Bekah78]

Back pain for me rather than hips. Finding pillows help too. Getting the odd pressure lower down every now and then but have been told baby is head down but not engaged. Probably a good thing as still 7 weeks to go.

Those dresses are gorgeous. I can't even sew on a button, lol.

 

[Natasha2605]

I also use extra pillows for back and hip pain at night. Provides a little relief!
