Anybody else's hormones gone wild recently? Or just me? Seems luck isn't on our side. The tax man isn't doing us any favours, I sometimes wonder why me n my partner bother working and paying taxes when they now decide we're not allowed any help.
My hips are seriously on there way out, Iv got physio appointment in few weeks. Nothing just seems to be going right ATM, and I'm ready to go mad at someone lol. I can't even park outside my house because some ppl are so ignorant. (I live on a road that's practically free for all when it comes to parking )
Just blah!!! Lol
 
loro, yes! also, other things people can stop saying in reply to my "i'm due august 4":

"omg, this is going to be the hottest/ worst summer for you ever"
"oh wow, so still some time to go"
"if you think you're tired now, just wait!"
"get all the sleep you can now, because you wont sleep later"
"enjoy your free time/ going out to dinner/ exercise/ etc because you wont have that soon"

i'm very uncomfortable, headed into 30 weeks. it's seems crazy that i *still* have 10 weeks to go, and also that i *only* have 10 weeks to go! (kwim???). Alek constantly rolls and moves and pushes angles into me - elbows or shoulder or heels or something. and he sits very very high, so i'm having a very hard time breathing - actually feeling anxious about not being able to catch my breath. so i have to walk or stand or cat-cow often. it's all worth it!
 
HWPG - I HATE those comments that make it seem like everyone wants you to know that your life will be OVER after the baby comes...basically. I am definitely going to rest up now, but I'd like to look forward to my baby and not have everyone tell me how horrible it's going to be. The lack of sleep will be worth it! And I'm sure date nights will still happen with help from willing babysitters like grandparents and friends! People are annoying.

I am uncomfortable too at just about 29 weeks! I am having a similar trip-out with not being able to believe there are a whole 11 weeks left, yet also can't believe there are *only* 11 weeks left! There is so much to do, yet we're going to be soo uncomfortable by the end! Sorry to hear you're having trouble catching your breath! Hopefully he moves a bit lower soon?
 
yeah, hopefully. but really, i just have to be thankful and take it one day at a time. plus, i never have to worry about kick counts or anything!
whenever people say something like that, i try to respond with something like "is there a Baby-pocolypse coming that i dont know about?". it's so annoying. as if anyone can SAVE UP sleep!
 
The sleep saving comment really gets to me too and this is our 3rd child, it's like people don't understand that we know how to raise children :p

I will admit though I am one of those people who does say to people, like my sister, after you have a child 'life as you know it is over'. But it's not to hurt her or be mean. My little sister has been 'considering' having children, which is fine, and she knows that she'll have to change her lifestyle completely when that happens, I just don't think she's 'mentally' prepared for it. I know I thought I 'knew' what motherhood was going to be like with my first daughter, that I had my priorities set up and what I would have to do and what I would have to give up, etc etc... but when she finally arrived it really didn't hit me until I was home with her. I seriouly COULDN'T do anything, I got cabin fever really quick, especially at night and just when I wanted to run a simple errand like to pick up milk, I realized I couldn't bring her out and OH was busy with his own things (and wasn't very mature at the time) and it became really hard to actually have 'free time' without feeling like I was 'confined' to my house at all times.

Eventually as my daughter got older I worked my way through all the phases and came to terms with how my life 'had' to be and it wasn't what I was prepared for it to be... and this coming from a person who NEVER 'partied' or went to bars, or did anything aside from normal activies... I mean, I used to go out and walk around, just walk to get some exercise and a breath of fresh air and I couldn't even do that because I was afraid of taking my daughter out before her first shots and that was one of the hardest things I felt like I had to give up for her sake. Now my sister does go out with friends, drive way out of her way to go shopping... spend hundreds of dollars on designer clothes and shoes for herself... I know she'd be a good mom, but the transition into settling down with a child I can just see being a challenge for her.


Blah anyway, it's quiet here! lol I've been so busy lately, finding my DS's packed away newborn clothes and getting them washed and put away for Logan, the end of the school year going on with our two little ones and getting ready for summer vacation, just a lot going on :)
 
It has been quiet hasn't it.
Iv been fighting my own battles. Having a pants time with everything ATM. Feeling let down by lots of things ATM. I feel ppl don't see this baby as special as his sister, which really winds me up.
I had a health scare the other day n when I rang out of hrs mw, they didn't seem bothered, told to ring labour, when it wasn't a concern for them.
I'm just feeling very down in the dumps ATM. Nothing is going right for us ATM. Iv got a growth scan next week, just hope that says he's ok and normal sized.
Humph :-(
 
Not a lot going on here either, DS is on half term and all it's done is rain so haven't really been able to take them out but took the kids out earlier so they could go jump in puddles.
Next midwife appointment is 10th June and DH is coming with me, it's the 2nd one he will be attending this pregnancy the 1st being the booking in appointment. Then on the 10th in the afternoon I have my driving test starting to get nervous already x
 
Good luck for your driving test Christiansmum! I did mine when I was around 30 weeks pregnant last time round!

Had a growth scan this morning, at 31 weeks baby weighs 3.15. What do you ladies think of this? With my dd1 we didn't get a scan after 20 weeks so never got told weight but she was born 8.4. I'm wondering wether this one will be bigger or not!

Everything was measuring well with baby so don't need any further scans. Although have a 3D one booked for Monday. Baby is head down just as I thought.

Well the exhaustion has came back full on, dd is off school this week and I am finding it hard! There's not a lot on, it's poured down the past two days and I can't have my usual lunch time nap :( trying so hard to find some energy but it's difficult!

7 weeks and 6 days to go until my cesarean! Wow!
 
WanaBaba - Wow your c-section is coming up quick! :) He honestly sounds pretty normal to me and that he might be as big as your little girl was :D The way I think about it is, the last 4 weeks they say baby gains 1lb a week, so if he's already 3.15, add another 4lbs at least to that and you should have about where he'll be at :D

ChristiansMum - Good luck on your driver's test!! I know I was super nervous about mine too :)

Tracie87 - :hugs: I'm sorry you don't feel like the doctors are taking your concerns seriously :( Your little one is so so special, they might be thinking that because your little girl went so well that he will too. :) My first OB was pretty cold too, after my second child came early though I decided to switch with this little one... although my OB was smart, I didn't like her bedside manor, I expected more from her and all I ever got was the cold medical jargon, even when we had our MC. I hope as you get closer to your DD that they change their attitude because every child is just as special. And good luck on your growth scan, hoping for good news! :hugs:


We have another scan tomorrow in the morning, just to measure our little guy, get a heart rate, make sure all his pieces and parts are still there and working (which I'm sure they are) and then of course to check the placenta placement which seems to be moving up my back now and away from the cervix :) I can't wait to see how much he weighs now! Our last scan was 4 weeks ago and he was already 2lbs and the doctors say his growth is measuring 2 weeks ahead so really excited for him to be a big baby since our other two were so small.
 
I had a 30 week appointment today. Can't believe we are in the home stretch now! My B12 and Iron levels are a bit low, so that could explain the tingling and dizziness I have been feeling. (Not to mention my low blood pressure). Started on some vitamins today, so hoping for some positive results!

Hope everyone is feeling well, and getting some rest. (As hard as it is right now).

I know I can't quite believe she is going to be here in just under 8 weeks!! I'm having a girl by the way not a boy hehe.
Wow 1lb a week? I didn't know this I thought it was half a lb! So is it half a lb from now and then goes up to 1lb a week when I get to 36 weeks? So she could be like... 9lbs? :shock:
 
My iron levels are also low and i have to go and pick up my prescription :( been put on 210mg 3x a day. Not looking forward to taking 3 a day! Might just use the ones i was on before pregnancy, don't think i could deal with constipation (sorry tmi) from the higher dose ones.
i had my whooping cough vaccine today! Thought my arm would be sore afterwards but nope, all is good haha.
I'm also still worrying about having a big baby boy, i know i shouldn't but i am lol! I know everyone is different bu mt if you measure your belly, how many inches around are you? .. I'm nearly 31 weeks and mine measures 36 inches around. My fundal height from my 28 weeks midwife appointment was 29cm... I know I'm just stressing for no reason haha.
sorry everyone! .. Hope everyone is feeling okay. I am looking forward to my baby boy being here :) just gotta wait patiently for another 9 weeks or so!
 
Buttons - I don't think you have anything to worry about. My belly is measuring 37" around already at 29 weeks. My fundal height at 28+4 was 29 cm so it's pretty much right on track. I have pretty much resigned myself to a large baby since both my dh and I were large at birth.

Addy - I hope the supplements help with your dizzy feelings.

WanaBaba - I know nothing about baby sizing but I'm sure your baby will be a very normal size. :)

Tracie - Sorry to hear you're feeling down lately. :hugs:
 
The iron pills I'm on are specifically designed for pregnancy. They are supposed to not cause constipation, so I am really hoping that is the case. I really do not need anything else to make me constipated!! Haha.
 
Hey guys! I apologize for asking what I'm sure is a silly question, but do we have a sig tag for the group? I'd love to add one, but I haven't seen it.

Also, third tri! Woo hoo! My little man will be here in approximately 12 weeks! can't believe it...
 
We are all getting so close! :) 36 more days of work before I go on maternity leave. I have 7 weekends to get everything in order before I take hopefully 2 weeks to relax before my 40th week. :)
 
Mine hasn't grown .. Still 36 inches. I think he is due another grown spurt though so i may just balloon out of nowhere! Haha
