Juliet sorry I don't really have any tips to help. I do ask DH for more help rolling out of bed and getting up. Sounds like things are looking good for You!
Koj I can't believe the snow storms! We haven't had that much snow in the Midwest but sooooo cold. I'm happy that I'm pregnant now to add on some insulation. Haha. That's nice you can work from home!
Wish I wonder if a pedicure would feel good! It would definitely be nice to have someone paint my toes as it's getting harder and harder to bend. Your progress is amazing almost 37 weeks!
3c I'm glad we are in the same boat. All your food sounds yummy! Maybe I will start looking into some freezer meals.
Dancing great update!
Star did you talk to midwife I'm curious what they tell You?
Over the weekend I had some light menstrual cramps and just chalked it up to normal stretching pains. Yesterday I had my weekly non stress test and Dr walked in and said you're having contractions? I said no and she said no you are having contractions! I got sent to hospital for more monitoring. And sure enough I was having contractions every 4 mins and not feeling them. I was given two bags of fluids and monitored for two hours. When that didn't stop contractions I was given a pill to stop them. So luckily they did stop and after 4 hours I was sent home. Talk about scary!

I didn’t call in the end dogmommy as it’s only happened once today so I just thought it’s normal , after you saying that though I might call tomorrow if it happens again! I expect mine is not drinking enough so I’ll try that and see how it goes

Oh wow, dog!! Thats crazy that you werent feeling them!! I guess thats what Im nervous about bc Ive read that before. But the BH still seems sporadic enough.
And thank you! Feeling quite lucky to have made it this far! And babies are still moving around quite a bit but its getting to be a little painful sometimes. Is it possible theyve also bruised me a little? I have more discoloration around my belly button than I did before.

Hi everyone. Hope you're all ok? I wanted to wait until after my scan before joining you I here but I'm going stir crazy with worry that the same thing will happen as last time. I don't have any really obvious pregnancy symptoms as yet and I'm 5 plus 2 today and did one of the Clear blue tests assuming it would say 3+ by now and it says 2-3 weeks which has also got me worried. I'm not normally like this.

Thanks Star, I'm feeling more optimistic today. It's worse than the 2ww waiting for the scan this time around.

star - yes, I think your body is just getting ready 
not long now!!
Wish - how much snow did you guys end up getting? we got about 12-15inches (hard to tell with the drift).
dogmommy - similar thing happened to me a few weeks ago. I was having contractions during my appt and I didn't even feel them! but nothing scary like you.. I'm glad to hear everything seems ok now! remind me, how far along are you?
MrsH - Nice to see you over here! When is your scan? and yes, I agree with you. The wait until the scan is so much worse than the TWW!!! I hope all goes well!
afm - I think am coming down with something
I feel a tickle in my throat! This is the worst timing as I am due in 6 days! Help! what can I do to kick this before I get sick sick!?

Mrs, I always think the wait for the scan is worse than the 2ww too as I always test early so it’s never a long wait! What date is scan?
Ko, oh no I hope not, just stay hydrated as much as you can, even though I didn’t stop drinking water all day I was still very dehydrated, apart from that just vitamins really
I hope my body is strong ready, swear I kept losing bits of plug yesterday but it was after to bowel movements so probabaly why and then a bit more later
With dd I literally felt nothing, even 2 weeks late there were no bh, twinges or period pain feelings so I’m feeling more hopeful this could happen naturally without being induced
The good news is we moved dd to the bigger room and a proper bed and she sleeps soo much better, literally all night without waking up for the last 4 nights and waking up later in the morning 7-7:30
It means she doesn’t need to nap during the day as before she would wake up twice in the night and still be up about 5:30 and it was awful
Since being ill she refuses to drink milk, she used to be cuddled to sleep with her milk and still want it during the night which I let her just to get some sleep
She would never self settle and when getting up in the night it was at the point she wouldn’t go back in the cot or our bed, she just wanted to stay on my lap in the chair in her room
Now she goes to her bed and gets to sleep herself, I say I’m going down to get a drink but don’t go back up and within minutes last night she was asleep at 7pm til 7:30am
Sorry to go on I know it isn’t relevant but I’m so relieved to have her sleep sorted before we have a newborn in the house! Literally never thought it would happen

I'm glad I'm not the only one that's found it hard, my scan is on the 15th.
It's come round really quickly I totally forgot that you'll all be having babies soon. I think I've blocked that out but I'm sure when the 20th of Feb comes I'll have a little cry (would of been my due date) but I think all being well the fact that I'm pregnant will ease the blow. I can't wait to hear all about your babies. I hope pregnancy has been kind to you all.

mrsh, 15th is not too far away! maybe do a countdown chain!
star, i liked reading your post cause it started to give me hope with DD. we struggle so much with her sleep issues.
thanks everyone for the positive comments some posts ago.... i wrote back but then i had been away from my laptop too long so i guess it wouldn't post and i was too tired to retype things.
it's exciting to be 25 weeks along... i think about 13 to go...
this week was tough, i am feeling super bloated and gassy, and just all around awful. i was having super huge cramping pains so i called in and they wanted me to come in (to make sure not pre-term labor) but i knew it was indigestion or something from eating... they said it was a GI issue and to try "gas x" to help with gas and bloating. I think i need more help though cause for 3 days I am not eating much and keeping things mild that I do eat, and still am having crazy stomach discomforts.
anyway, hope everyone is feeling good and not having issues like these!!
and so exciting that so many are having their baby this month and next!!! it's really happening soon ladies!

Mrs, we’re counting down with you! It’s not far away although we understand the wait is hard
Juliet, I spoke to he health visitor about dd sleep issues as it would mean dh would be up st night with her and me with a newborn which wouldn’t have been good as he’s a taxi driver, she said like everyone dd goes into a deep sleep and then a lighter sleep and when she hits her lighter sleep she was waking up, the last thing she remembered was being cuddle to sleep on my lap in the chair so she wanted that comfort back instead of self settling, it made sense so we moved her to her own bed meaning we didn’t have to lift her in and out the cot which also used to wake her up
She’s only woken up once out of 5 nights, I sat on the floor next to her bed and held her hand til she went back to sleep so only took 5 minutes
I was also worried about leaving her at night when in labour so I’ll be happy if this carries on and is one less thing to worry about
Yesterday all day by bump was so tight and uncomfortable but feeling better today
I’m just so tired!
I hope you’re feeling better today Juliet

ughhhh wrote a long note and then connection to the server went down! Annoying...
mrsH - oh the dreaded TWW until the scan - I hated that one the most too! With so much that we've all gone through, it's absolutely difficult to wait another couple of weeks until we get to see if things are ok. Your scan is the same day as my c-section! Good things are bound to happen for both of us that day! Only one more week!
star - sounds like you've solved your sleeping issues with DD! That's wonderful! And in the nick of time with the baby coming soon. Sounds like your BH are getting stronger too, huh?
juliet - 25 weeks! You've done SO WELL!! I'm so happy for you! 3 weeks from 3rd tri already! I"m sorry about the gassy issues - I wonder if the baby has pushed your intestines into a weird spot. Mine are definitely squished into a weird spot - I have to move around for anything to be released as far as pressure! Then sometimes I don't want it to release and it just does...
I hope you can find some relief soon!
koj - did you go early?? we got about as much snow as you did. The drifts were crazy too - up to 2' on our walkway! I hope all is going well for you!!
afm - had my pre-op/last check up this morning and it went really well! Things all still look and sound good, my BP was lower than it's been at the past 2-3 appts. My doc went through everything to expect during and after the c-section. CRAZY! I can't believe it's finally here!!! And thankfully so - I've reached the 'done' point - I'm just ready to get rid of this swelling and be able to sleep in the fetal position if I want to!

star - congrats on moving your DD to a new room and big girl's bed!! I've heard it can be really tough but it sounds like you and your DD did fabulously!!

Juliet - sorry to hear about your stomach issues just about 100 days to go for you!!

Maybe I'll go into labor on the same day as your C-section 
afm - full blown sore throat has set in and feeling very lethargic (thankfully no fever!!).. unfortunately, I have to come into work today and tomorrow so can't even stay at home and relax I just hope I can kick this cold before I go into labor..!!

ohhh koj, there you are! I'm sorry you're feeling sick, though! I did ask about that today b/c I've had this annoying cough for about a month now. I asked, yanno, we're asking everyone to not come to the hospital if they are sick but what if I'M sick?? she said that this is viral so there's not much that can be done but we'll see if I need anything when I'm there. But she wasn't worried about it at all.
thank you, star! I feel pretty accomplished though I know it doesn't all have to do with me (I don't think). It's not like I took PRISTINE care of myself, but I tried to be as zen as possible. I may also just have some stubborn boys who enjoy a warm, cozy sleeping spot as much as their mother - heehee!

Hi girls just a quick question for you all, what were your beta HCG levels and how far gone were you I've just had them done at 5+1 and again today at 5+5.
