Ooooo no I'm loving it. It's just the right heat for me. I'm a little crispy round the edges tho lol. Been getting quite a lot of BH these last few days

I can't tell the difference between BH contractions and him pushing up. Whichever it is, when it happens my belly goes tight and it feels like pressure. Doesn't last very long, a few seconds and he still moves around, so i just though this was bubba pushing up on my belly.

been making the most of the nice weather we've had the past 2 days (live in the Northwest UK) and went for a walk with the OH and the dogs .. Starting to feel like a whale! .. Does anyone measure their belly circumference? .. Mine is 36 inches around at 29 weeks. Is this big or small? .. My fundal height measurement was 29cm at 28+4 but midwife said this was fine

If I go round my biggest point of bump which happens to go round my hips I measure 42" Iv always measured a week ahead this time, and I feel like a whale aswell.. I also look like the motorway has taken over my stomach and boobs lol.

I am finding the heat really uncomfortable and have no idea how I'm gonna cope in the summer! Finding it hard to find stuff to wear that I feel comfortable in! What do all you ladies wear?

Got my 3D scan tomorrow! So excited! It will be our second one as we had one at 16 weeks to find out the sex so I'm scared incase she's turned into a boy! Haha. I'm really hoping we get to see her face this time as last time she was hiding and wouldn't even give us a little peek!

 

[LoveCakes]

Aww Christians mum what a nice SIL!

I'm finding the heat hardest at night getting to sleep.

Have fun tomorrow wanabubba! Be sure to show us some pics

 

[clynn11]

How exciting for your 3D scan wanababa! I just got mine done, was at 28+4. Here's a few pics She was being stubborn and hiding her face most of the time so we didn't get the greatest pics, but it was still awesome.

I'm finding it hard to find clothes to wear as i have no summer clothes that are maternity and don't really wanna go buy any as in due beginning of august so don't really see the point. Might just go and get myself a nice maxi dress

so far i have no stretch marks! I'm just very veiny! Big blue veins on the sides of my stomach and boobs. LOL. I have stretch marks from puberty which are silvery white but so far no new ones which i am very happy about!

It is late autumn here, so I am loving the temperature change!! Heh. Winters are mild here too, so won't have to try and bundle up lots with a preggy belly!!!

I have an appointment with a diabetes specialist on Wednesday, so will find out more then I suppose. For now I have just gone cold-turkey off all sugar and dropped my starchy carbs down to almost nothing too. It has been fine so far, I've been a little hungry but have plenty of good snacks so have done fine. So far!!! I am SO determined to keep it under control with diet, cos that is my o ly hope to stay at the lock hospital or have a home birth.... We shall see.

 

[WanaBaba]

Lovely pics clynn, loving the little pet lip haha.
Unfortunately we didn't manage to get any pics or see baby little madam was turned the other way and wouldn't turn around! We have rebooked for two weeks time so crossing my fingers she turns for us! If not I guess we will just have to wait until the birth to see that little face of hers!

I got diagnosed with GD like 2 months ago! It was a bit hard at the beginning, I am literally a sweetoholic, and sodaholic, lol. I was hungry at first as well, but learned to add a lot of protein, with all my meals and snacks, pretty much. Definitely helps!

 

[Literati_Love]

Flying - sorry about the GD! Good luck staying off sweets cold turkey. That would be really tough!

AFM - not having a problem with the hot weather because it hasn't been warm at all! However, I am all prepared with some basic maternity tanks, shorts and a few maxi dresses. I think it's worth it to invest in a few summer basics when you're due in August!

My belly is 37" around at the very largest part...and I am 28 +3! I think there is probably a wide range of what's "normal" at this point!

 

[AMB2013]

My glucose test is tomorrow. Looking forward to having that over with. Shower is June 14 and I'm super excited about that, though.

Miles has been super active; if he isn't rolling from one side of me to another, he's been pushing himself up against my belly, which has put me into some amusing shapes. He also loves my bladder, as he's constantly lying on it (or hates it, depends on your definition). We're in the home stretch guys!

 

[Literati_Love]

Yes, my baby LOVES pressing on my bladder as well. It's incredibly painful and uncomfortable if I'm standing/walking! As if I didn't have enough of a 'waddle' already!

 

[ChristiansMum]

Well it's cooled down a bit now (thank goodness!) it's still warm enough to go out without a coat but I didn't feel like I was melting while walking to school this morning but it's supposed to rain later.

Iv got some new stretch marks on the top of my thighs but I don't mind because I had some there already from my other 2.

29wks tomorrow and it's so hard to believe that in about 10wks time my baby could be here and in my arms! I really need to start baby shopping x

 

[lorojovanos]

If one more person comments on how absolutely huge I am, I'm going to scream. I'm 27 weeks pregnant with twins for crying out loud. When did it become socially acceptable to comment like that...?

 

[Literati_Love]

I totally understand, Lorojovanos! People constantly tell me I am huge and I am *NOT* pregnant with twins. Either way, it's completely inappropriate!

 

[ChristiansMum]

I'm fed up of hearing how huge I am, my mums the worst everytime she see me it's always 'oh you are gettin big' or 'he is going to be a big boy' she also said DD would be a big girl but she was only 6lb 8oz x

 

[AerisandAlex]

Logan is hating my hip bones, I swear I can feel his little fingers constantly pushing and flexing right behind my left hip!

At first, I was okay with people telling me I was getting bigger, because my other two were so little, but today we had our OB appt and I thought their scale was broken! I was 128lbs last time they weighed me, they had told me that day that I had lost a little over a pound then... 4 weeks later - today - I'm 140! I was sitting there going 'Wow! I've never hit 140 before... even with my son I was only around 130 when he was born... but that would explain why my hips have been hurting when I'm walking around...

And baby's measuring ahead now at 30 weeks, which doctors are happy about, they were worried little Logan here would be like my other two, tiny tiny babies (5lbs 8oz for my daughter, 4lbs 8oz with my son) BUT we also got some bad news today too... might not get my VBAC like I was pushing for afterall

I was 33 weeks when my son was born and given how small he was, even though they did a low cut for the c-section, my uterus wasn't expanded the whole way so now the scar on the uterus itself is moving up higher and higher and doctors are saying that it could make my uterus -overall- weak and not able to handle a VBAC So they're talking c-section again... told me to just keep it in mind because it's probably going to have to happen But IF it does have to happen, good news is I don't have to have staples again! That was my biggest issue with my son's c-section was the staples and the week I had to deal with them, it was awful and the worst pain I've ever experience... not even the pain medicine could dull it completely so yay for no staples, just glue and internal stitches

 

[Literati_Love]

Aeris - Don't feel bad. I gained 10.5 lbs one month and then 9 lbs last month. :S It's just packing on! We'll still get back to our pre-preg weight so don't lose heart!

Sorry to hear you may need another c-section but good news on the no staples this time!

Christiansmom- Very annoying!

 

[flyingduster]

I have the finger-pricking blood glucose tester thing now, so feel more in control of everything. I have had a lessened sweet tooth this pregnancy anyway so I've actually had no problems going cold turkey off sugar and cutting my carbs right down. And so far my numbers have been totally fine!! So I have hopes I can do this.
