April Raindrops 2016

Just got home back from my apt... Everything fine baby hb 150bpm, on my notes it says something about 4/5 palpable ? I can feel a lot of pain and pressure down there as well as my back aching so she recommended the belt as well as physio. Does anyone know if the belt helps?

Bump measuring 35 weeks so all good, urine fine and blood pressure is ok. Next apt is in 2 weeks at 36 weeks and she seems to think I won't need the one after that lol... I had my first at 39+3 days so she thinks I'll go before then, I feel that way too so we shall see!

Glad everyone's bubs are doing well!
Tomorrow i have 30 days till due date .super exciting and all our weekends have something booked which will hopefully take my mind off it. Visiting my mum next weekend, my DS1 and 2 have a birthday party to go the weekend after and DH birthday as well. Easter long weekend the next weekend and then last weekend before Im due on the Monday and my mum arrives to stay for 2 weeks to help.
I washed a handful of bubs clothes to pack for hospital yesterday and have ordered a hand made cradle blanket for her. Starting to feel real now that we will actually have a little girl in our home very shortly weekly appts now too so that makes it feel closer

Haha I thought it was just me who checked their boobs!

Nothing here yet though.

Boob checker over here too! Nothing yet for me though

Ohhh, that's exciting that you've got colostrum Powell!

 

[Jonesbaby19]

Had my 33 week growth scan & follow up appointment with my obstetrician this week. All is really well with both babies - baby girl weighing in at 4lbs 3oz and in the 30th percentile, and baby boy weighing in at 4lbs 6oz and in the 53rd percentile.

Not too long to go now, 27 days and counting!

I do not touch my boobs! I don't want them to leak at all lol

With my first I began to leak around 27/29 weeks and I sort of caused by peeling off the strange crust stuff I have on my nipples.

So far nothing!

That's great news
27 days is NOT long at all!!


As for me and my 4 year old have been really poorly since Wednesday, his got high temp, chest infection and ear infection. I've had weakness in my body, coughing that hurts my chest and sore throat! We've both been in bed and not eating at all I actually first ate some soup mil made us yesterday and trying to drink as much as possible! Baby seems to me moving around ok but I've been so worried about him because isn't the flu suppose to be dangerous? I think what I have is the flu because I've had temperature too as well as all the body aches ??

I've got some really bad leg cramps now due to being in bed all day! Yesterday I could barely walk to the bathroom

I've been taking paracetamol whenever I've felt really desperate

[No Doubt]

No leaking here either, but mine usually doesn't come in until day two or three after birth.

 

[Christie2011]

I'm over all the aches and pains and limited mobility. I really want the twins to stay in until they are ready to thrive, but I'm sooo ready to have my body back.

I'm hoping to remember to ask my doctor for a note Tuesday so I can get a medical parking pass for work. That way I have a better chance at scoring some closer parking. I wake up every morning with swollen hands and I've lost my ankles.

Washing my legs below my knees is pretty much impossible at this point. And forget shaving anything.

Then on top of that dealing with my 2 and 3 year old. I wish I could fast forward a month. Though I haven't found a nanny yet, so I still need time for that.

I don't think that caused it lol I've peeled that stuff off both pregnancies and no leaking last time and none so far this time! I had to squeeze kinda hard to get a drop out yesterday lol
Some ladies just leak during pregnancy, sounds like you may be one of them! Lol

I thought I'd felt leaking a couple if times so decided to have a quick squeeze in the shower last week and there's definitely colostrum there. I've left them alone since then but it's making me quite excited about breastfeeding again soon.

 

[babyjan]

It wasn't a lot of leaking just lil drops, it only occurred after I peeled lol that's why I thought it might have caused it.

One I gave birth I leaked like crazzzzzy and successfully breastfeed for 2 years, not that I'm saying leaking contributes to successful bf lol. I haven't leaked at all this time around x

I think seepage is normal lol I would guess that's how the crusty stuff gets there in the first place 😂😂

I def don't think leaking contributes lol I leaked ONE TIME and breastfed until he was 2 1/2 and we only stopped because this pregnancy dried me up lol

Can't wait to have another little nursling 💗💗

Yes ive had it for ages and lots of it. Pretty much my only pregnancy where ive had so much.

 

[No Doubt]

So then today I had colostrum...

I'm actually kind of happy about that as I'm always concerned about baby not getting enough in the beginning. My daughter actually got dehydrated which is apparently very difficult for a new born to do.

Hope you girls had a lovely weekend.

I'm so tired, I really can't sleep at night anymore. It's too painful to lie down and sleeping sitting upright is near impossible. I'm thinking of going to see a chiropractor that specialises with pregnant women this week to see if they can help me get even a tiny bit of relief from the pain I feel. My hips and back are in so much pain and I can barely walk. I feel like my pelvis is going to snap like a twig. Today is the first day that I can't bend over at all, my hips freeze & lock up and I can't move beyond a certain point. Do any of you lovely ladies have any experience with going to a chiropractor whilst pregnant and did it /does it help?

When I saw my obstetrician on Friday he measured my fundal height and said I was measuring the equivalent of 43 weeks pregnant. So I guess it's not surprising that my body is feeling the strain of all the weight. I'm only 5ft 1 tall, so my torso is rather short and its definitely getting crowded in there xx

 

[cntrygrl]

If I squeeze my boobs some comes out luckily no heavy leaking. My Braxton Hicks contractions have started to turn into real contractions at times. I get a lot of back contractions too. I'm 36 weeks today, have my appointment tomorrow.

 

[zmzerbe]

Hope everyone had a great weekend! It was my birthday on Saturday and there was a part of me that was genuinely sad that My little bundle didn't come as a birthday present even though I know he needs to keep cooking as long as possible.

I am 36 weeks today and I cannot sleep anymore. I am still working full time and it took me forever to get out of bed and dressed for today. I need to work up until delivery to qualify for any sort of short term disability pay and I just don't feel like I have it in me to do so...

I wake up all the time at night so itchy because it's terribly dry in my apartment even with a humidifier running and I can never find a comfortable enough position to fall back asleep.
