Is anyone experiencing extreme pressure? Maybe it's a twin thing, cause it seems so early. The US I had on Friday, showed baby A's head is down quite low but it seems each day, it just becomes more and more painful. There is a fair amount of pressure yes, but right from hip to hip is so sore, like feels like I've done 1 billion sit ups. Is this strange or par for the course?

I am, but it is due to the baby still sitting really low. My dr said that at 24 weeks (at my last appointment) that the baby and uterus have generally passed the belly button. This little guy is still sitting so low, that I am having pressure and hip pain. Hoping he decides to move up a bit to relieve some of the pain!

not sure if it's the same, loro, but i'm having pubic bone pain. it feels like i rode a bike for 3 days straight - those bones you sit on when you bike ride. i got into my car as i normally would the other day and thought my pelvis was going to break/crack the pain was so immediate and sharp. but regularly it's just sore sore sore. sore rolling over, sore standing up from sitting, etc. - but not sore externally, my lady bits are ok.

My lady bits are okay too, thank goodness for now!

Not sure if any of you ladies know about this but in wondering if you could maybe help? As i still live with my mum i would like my boyfriend to possibly move in when Kobey is due to help me a little. My mum has brought her house and pays council tax but i am just wondering if she would have to pay more if my boyfriend did move in? I have emailed the council tax people but could be waiting a while for a reply so wondered if anyone knew how it all works?
thanks

I haven't updated here for a while, so I thought I would

I had my 20 week scan April 10th and everything looked great. She is 13 oz, Gavin was 11 oz...so she may or may not be bigger than Gavin.

The midwife called me last week with some "not so good" news from my scan. She said that the "radiologist" had found a white spot on Sophia's left ventricle in her heart and it may be a sign of "down syndrome" but it's a very very small spot, so we have to have another scan this Friday, and see what happens, and than go from there.

The good thing is, that none of my nor DH's family has down's syndrome, and Gavin is a completely healthy baby and has nothing wrong with him.

I just thought I would update everyone.

I don't think so as it's not based on occupancy levels. Only impacted when someone who used to live on their own has someone move in as you lose the single person discount. So I would have thought as you already live there your mum doesn't get that (think it's normally 25% ish less than normal bill if your the only occupant)

Fingers crossed you get some good news on Friday

Updated scan picture from 23+5

She is definitely a girl, I wanted to double check!

My mum does get the 25% discount off the council tax because she is a single parent therefor a single occupier of the council tax because i don't work. My boyfriend does work so this is why I'm wondering if it will change and she will have to pay the full amount? .. But have got a while before Kobey is here anyway

Loro, I think it might be a twin thing! At 25 weeks I am quite uncomfortble! Back pain (middle on right) and front under right boob/ribs. I end up laying at home most of the time. Also I've been feeling pressure down there and feel the need to pee all the time! Girl is head down and boy manged to flip so he's head up now. I'm pretty big already and don't know how it'll be in a month or two! Also I get hip pain when I sleep without pillow. Pillow totally gives me a relief! No hip pain during the day though!

Ah ok - in which case then technically it should increase to 100% when he lives there. Don't you love council tax!

Got midwife tomorrow. I have a feeling something isn't right. I'm suffering with swelling in tops of my legs and lady parts, increased discomfort and pain if I stand to long and struggling walking if I do stand to long, which is not good seeming I work in retail and spend most my day on my feet.
I took LO out 3 days last week because of nice weather and I payed for it when I had 3 days at work. Something isn't right. I didn't have this until right at the end with my LO. I'm carrying very very low ATM aswell. it's not as enjoyable as my daughters pregnancy

 

[ChristiansMum]

Can't believe I only have 15wks left till my due date! I think I may need to start buying stuff, all we have brought is a double pram what DH brought me and 2 packs of newborn nappies. I only have 3 pay days left as well, I'm really not organised this time I think that I thought baby would just keep cooking forever hahaa x

 

[ChristiansMum]

Tracie87- hope you feel better soon, my pregnancy with my daughter (my 2nd successful pregnancy) was by far the worst. By the time I was 25wkswith her I had been in hospital 4 times x

Had MW check up this morning-all good-tummy measurement was exactly 23 weeks and baby's heartbeat was 148 (was first time I've actually heard it!) that's it for another 5 weeks!!!

 

[mysteriouseye]

Grrrr was suppose to get my bloods results for if I had infection today (TORCHS) but have now been told bloods wont be ready for tomorrow xx

Went to see my OB yesterday about my pelvic pain (its sooooo bad ) and he just came in the room and said "You have SPD. Its a part of pregnancy. There is nothing I can do for you. Sorry. Go get a pelvic support belt." I told him I have already been using one and he said "I dont know. Sorry"
What the fooooook?! Anyone else have this problem? I went and got a better pelvic support belt so hopefully that will help. .

 

[ChristiansMum]

Had midwife this morning and everything is great measuring 25wks, baby has a strong heartbeat and she has no concerns. She was running an hour late though wasn't too impressed as I had to try and entertain DD while we waited x

Wow Im suprised you had a 25 week midwife appointment, where I am from (surrey) my last midwife appointment was at 16 weeks and I dont have another one untill 28 weeks as its my 2nd xx

 

[LoveCakes]

I have my 25 week one on Monday, is it weird I'm really looking forward to it?

I've been feeling pretty good though I ended up ringing the midwife (again) as I had a big glob of yellow jelly stuff. She said not to worry you can get that type of discharge and even if it's a bit of mucous plug as I'm otherwise fine it's probably nothing. Phew it did freak me out a bit!

Baby has been really active and kicks are getting stronger too

Oh and we got our pram. We'd narrowed it down to 3 and ended up putting a deposit on the graco evo in lime. There was an offer on so we got the car seat free it does't come for another 10 weeks but it's the first big thing we have ticked off the list.
