Today I found myself having a good pout about being "only" 33 weeks
The earliest she can safely come is the first week of April though so however I look at it I have at least 4 more weeks before I can hope for labor.

I noticed that I haven't packed a hospital bag yet but I don't think I will until my shower on the 20th of this month. I have friends that have splurged on nice, cute hospital gowns with matching gowns for their babies. That's adorable for sure but there was so much mess still going on days after birth. They kept a pad underneath me and I wore giant diaper like pads at home for weeks. I'd be terrified of paying so much for the thing and then ruining it.

Anyone else not able to just sit without major discomfort? 4 weeks to go & I can only breath normally standing up. Thankfully I have no hip pain at moment, just a lightning crotch about 250 times a day. I'm starting to get used to it. Needless to say I'm totally knackered at night as I'm walking & standing (household, cooking, toddler drop off,...) ALL DAY! At night I just wear a gown as clothes make it worse.

Begging fr LO to come next week ...

Yep. I was complaining to DH about it last nigh when trying to eat i had to stop stand up for a bit because i felt like my uterus was almost sitting in my throat between my back and hip pain at night and having to pee every 2 hours im absolutely spent.
One month to go today for me and i pray she will come early but not going to get my hopes up.

My 21 month old has a vomiting bug! My two older boys have only ever had it once and they were 4 and 3 so they were able to tell me when they needed to be sick. This is just awful and to top it off he threw up in the middle of my sons assembly at school! I thought it might have just been because of the heat and i was bouncing him around to try keep him occupied but hes thrown up 3 times since we got home. So awful! Hopefully it doesn't go through the whole household.

I couldn't imagine coping with a vomiting bug right now!!! Hugs!

I've woken up this morning, admittedly after a rubbish nights sleep, not feeling great. My fingers are a tiny bit swollen up as is my right foot, but not my left weirdly.

I'm 36 weeks on Sunday so I know that swelling can be perfectly normal at this point but do you ladies think there's any reason to get my blood pressure checked out, they've been keeping an eye on it this time due to it being raised during my last pregnancy and particularly labour but I never had pre-e.

Yeah its not fun. Hes finally in bed and im hoping for a vomit free night otherwise its a hospital trip.
I have swelling in both hands and feet in the mornings when i wake. Mine i think its just the normal swelling as my bp has been fine. But definitely get it checked if you're worried.

 

[Redhead84]

Thanks, yeah that's what I'm thinking. My BP has been behaving this time around but I'm going to get myself hydrated and if I don't feel better later might just go get it checked just to be on safe side. Doesn't help it's snowy today and I do have to have an automatic, diesel, rear wheel drive car which is a nightmare to drive when it's slippy... Husband to the rescue I think!!!!!!

I don't like to drive in snow either, so feel your pain there. Years back during one of the worst snow storms I was at work and watching all the sales guys in those types of cars attempting to drive home, just for the back to repeatedly overtake the car, even with other folks trying to keep the cars in line.

So bizarre how it's up your way, but down here in the south it's actually a really nice beautiful day. You'd think spring had finally arrived! Hope the snows doesn't last much longer for you.

 

[Misscalais]

Oh no really. It doesn't snow where i live so id have no idea how scary it is to drive in the snow. Hopefully all is ok with your bp.

Last night sleeping was rough! I went to roll over and my hip made this sick, cracking sound and getting to sleep after was nearly impossible

 

[babyjan]

Thanks for the suggestions ladies. I'm actually able to look at me phone this morning and have the energy to type!

Unfortunately I'm still unwell! My 4 year old is still very sick with chest infection and ear infection, his been having high temp since Wednesday my temp has been high but I've woken up a lil better this morning apart from sore throat, coughing (which hurts my chest so bad) and headache. We've both been in bed the whole day yesterday and I've developed extreme case of leg cramps, hurts soo bad I'm struggling to walk to the bathroom!

Both of us barely eaten but I managed to have some soup mil made us yesterday and I've been having water. I've been so worried about the baby because I've not been eating but he seems to be moving around so I'm thinking his ok in there. I've been taking paracetamol to help with the pain! Can't wait for me and my boy to feel better.

It's hard being heavily pregnant and sick as well as my lil boy feeling so poorly but OH has been looking after us and has taken day off work today. Drs have said not much they can do for me and just to take paracetamol and drink plenty of fluids x

 

[Qmama79]

Banyjan: I hope you'll get through the worst soon. Thankfully your mil can help out! Get well soon! Take care xxx

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...

My hips can get really bad ive found using my ball before bed helps, pillow between the legs and the cold makes them hurt more xx

 

[emma4g63]

Woke up this morning with the worst backache!! I've tried walking around and shifting positions, and it's just constantly here. It's awful lol but it's not rhythmic or anything, so I think it's just normal soreness. In other news, my friend who was due April 1st just had her baby last night! Really shocked me lol and made everything a bit more real. Still working on little man's nursery so that has really kicked my motivation to finish up a few notches.

 

[emma4g63]

Wow helll tht really does make it real anythjng from 37 weeks ill be happy with.


I think !
