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

[emma4g63]

In the uk they only do gtt at 28 weeks if a direct relative has diabetes..
But twice iv had plus 3 in urine..
After first one they did fasting blood sugar which was fine but as iv had it again shes ordered a gtt.

Suffering from leg cramps at the moment in both legs

Leg cramp is awful. I suffer from that sometimes at night when I'm getting up to pee... Not the best time to take cramps

Tired here today. 4 year old was up a lot complaining and whinging in her sleep as her ear was sore. She didn't settle until gone 11, woke loads and then was up at 7. She's not mentioned it being sore this morning though.

I'm still feeling a little off and having pains in my tummy. Kids are on two week holiday from school and nursery and really hoping little miss doesn't come before they go back!

Hope anyone who has appointments today goes well!

Due the 24th here and at 34w4d was 1CM & 35w4d was 1 1/2CM. I've been having contractions for almost a month! My gut says baby will come after my due date tho so we shall see! my next appt is Thursday at 36w4d and I won't be surprised if I'm at 2CM from the amount of contractions in the last few days! It's no indication baby will come early tho. For example a friend of mine was 4-5CM at 34 weeks and ended up being induced a few days over 41 weeks!!

Ladies it's almost our month! Even tho we've had a few early arrivals already

So nearly April! So close now.

Hope everyone's appts go well today. I don't have a midwife appt till 40 weeks now. So next Weds (my dd!).

I'm feeling like a guilty Mum at the moment. My son's off school for 2 weeks for Easter but i'm struggling with spd, cramps, and just general heaviness. The weather's bad. I wish I could do more with him, last half term we both came down with norovirus. I'm lucky in that he has a fantastic imagination and plays happily on his own, doesn't stop me thinking I need to do more though. Really looking forward to getting some normality back soon!!

Congrats on the birth of your beautiful twins jonesbaby!

Ugh I haven't slept AT ALL since Saturday night. I got some kind of stomach virus and threw up all day and night on Sunday and then yesterday it turned into (sorry TMI) yellow diarrhea that has been constantly coming every 2-30 minutes. I honestly don't know how it's possible to still be coming out. The gas pain is insane all around my belly and I've been getting on all fours to try and get baby's weight off my organs to try and pass it. My stomach literally sounds like a cross between a lion roaring and a giant tank gurgling. This needs to stop soon! I haven't been able to eat in 2 days

 

[xSweetTartx]

I feel much better knowing we have a plan for him. I knew my friend was going to watch him but didn't know her work was going to be as flexible as they are and let her leave during the day if that's when I got into labor and also give her a day or two off if she needs it! She's going to get a hotel room (or stay at our house if we are somewhat moved in by then, closing is set for the 8th) by the hospital in case labor goes on into the night so they can still be close enough to pop over when he's here. We want #1 to meet his brother as soon as possible. Plus I think she does too

That's so nice of them! Haha. We are not sure if we will have him meet his sister at the hospital or at home. I think it mostly depends on how long they keep us in. We are always together so I am worried he will be upset if he has to go back home without me.

Oh you poor thing! They didn't give you any anti nausea meds??

Yeah thats one of my remaining worries. We were in the hospital 4 days with #1. Granted two of em were labor lol 36 hours! But if we have to stay for whatever reason I will probably have him stay at the hospital with us. I really don't want him to feel like baby brother is getting all the attention and him get jealous from the get go! But I'm hoping since I don't have GD and they won't have to monitor his blood sugar that we will be able to go home shortly after he gets here as long as delivery goes smoothly for both of us! I wanna be in and out lol

Is anyone else throwing up again? It's very random and not nearly as bad as morning sickness but I have been puking in the mornings the last few days. Also grew some impressive side burn peach fuzz, I'm definitely going through some Braxton hicks and my husband commented that he feels lower than he used to.

My mom told me that I have to be a whole lot more miserable than I am for labor to be close. I am getting very burnt out on the tough love conversations from women who have either never had kids or have gone through a single delivery decades ago.

Im getting sick again but think it's more because of the acid reflux :-/

And no you don't have to be sick or worn out for labour to be close, I was out all day and watched my daughter in a theatre play and come home to randomly being sick runs and contractions! So I had a great day personally... The contractions did start in the theatre but they were just regular tightenings thought that it was bh picking up but the following night my son was born
People all think they can tell you what's best for you don't they...that's what's pissing me off this time round, oh you should do this or you should do that...hello??....where the hell are you for my older kids?! All over you when pregnant and new born then get bored and move on! So keep your opinions to your self!! Grrrr sorry hormones and rants are a pregnancy thing this time round for me

 

[Christie2011]

I only had two bouts of throwing up over the last two weeks. Seemed totally random and I'm glad it's not an every day thing. But both times I swore I was close to labor. The cramps that came with the nausea and throwing up seem close enough for me to match the cramping I had during early labor with my son. But the cramps didn't seem to coincide with contractions so I waited them out. Both time they died off in an hour.

I'm afraid of going into labor this time and not realizing it. Waiting for my contractions to get to the point they got to the last time. All these stories about women who dilated to 4-6cm without realizing it. No way I could have missed it with my first.

They don't check cervix thinning etc here until in labour ...wondering if his is why I'm getting funny twinges and stabbin pains down there occasionally? Maybe it is my cervix actually preparing for labour in few weeks time?!

With you having twins are they booking you in earlier for delivery? Sometimes you hear they do and then others are told to wait if no complications , hope your not taken by suprised but I am
One for not getting to 5/6wothiut realising unfortunately too, I know with the pain by 2/3cm and I am actually quite good with pain! Everywoman is different though some have it easier and quicker some longer and bit harder but we all have our beautiful ending

 

[hal423]

Oh you poor thing! They didn't give you any anti nausea meds??

She gave me a prescription for zofran yesterday but I'm hesitant to take it in general plus the nausea has subsided - just need this nasty diarrhea and gas to go away.

Sorry for all the rest of you that are getting sick again! It's the last thing we need these last few days/weeks!

 

[hellojello25]

I haven't thrown up at all, but I've definitely been more nauseous lately and I am so completely miserable its not even funny. My back hurts, my shoulders hurt, my hips hurt, and he's putting pressure on everything down there. I feel like I might just be whining, but the thought of dealing with this every day for the next 3 or so weeks makes me want to cry. The pregnancy has seemed so quick up until now, but its slowed to a snail pace. Ugh!

I'm really hoping for an early booking. I'm so over all this extra weight and immobility, swelling....etc. I have an apt with a MW Thursday and I"m hoping I can talk her into booking something no later than 2 weeks out from tomorrow. My house is a disaster because I can't bend or stand/walk for any length of time. Feet up I keep getting told to reduce the swelling. That doesn't seem to work to reduce, but at least it keeps it from getting worse.
