Morning Ladies, woke up this morning with pain down my lower left side of bump. Think its just tapped wind but ouch is painful. esp when baby girl decides to punch and kick there.

 

[xxyjadexx]

I can't believe how close its getting.....its the 10th July already......it's going so quick it's beginning to freak me out!

very scary, 26 days left!!!

 

[moomin_troll]

the thought of a section scares the hell out of me but then again im not exactly looking forward to the labour and birth anyway haha

having even more shooting/engaging pains today. and my doula has gone away today for 16 days so he best not come till after then haha

 

[Mark&Annie]

I was going to ask if anyone knew what these shooting pains in my foofy were - is that his head getting wedged in my pelvis then?! I've been getting little electric like pains in my boobs too, even milked a bit!

 

[moomin_troll]

yeah the stabbing pains tend to be the head smacking ur cervix lol

since having zane ive not stopped getting those pains in my boobs whenever hes upset or i think about him lol after i stopped bf i never stopped producing colostum even tho i made milk.
no idea why im just weird i guess lol

 

[CharlieKeys]

Ahh I hate the cervix stabbing pains especially walking around tescos looking like a freak cause every step you take it's like a stab stab stab - thanks for that

Glad everything went ok tjw!

I wonder who's gonna pop next?!

Is anyone else getting really bad leg and foot cramps? I was sitting on my ball today and my foot totally locked up on the side. I couldn't breath because it was that bad. Also, I find my toes are locking up when walking. Lovely pregnancy lol.

I'm having a lot of heavy pressure down there, but not sure if his head is right down yet. I do sometimes feel like my waters are going to pop though with a few jabs/pressure I get. I have to stop what I'm doing as it worries me.

Had leg cramp night before last, I couldn't move my left leg as the whole thing had locked and then something odd was also going on with my right ankle where it was hurting and stuck but wasn't cramp, but was at the same time as teh cramp on the other side... never had that before. Grae had to get a chair and put it behind me to sit down and take the pressure off. Nearly 8mins it was hurting for and then twinged on and off all day yesterday. Luckily no repeat of it last night though... Anyone know what causes it??? x

Not long now ladies.

I'm hoping to hold out to 39 weeks, anything under 38 here and they call it prem.

Have a growth scan this week as I am 34 but measuring 37 and it looks like he's a footling breech Will be doubling my efforts to have him turn as I really don't want a c-sect as you are forbidden to drive for 6 weeks after and I need to drive!!!!

Wow, I'm having a csection and my doc said I can drive within a week or two. LO will be in the nicu for some amount of time, so I was worried about driving back to the hospital once dh goes back to work, but it doesn't seem like it will be a problem.

i got really bad leg cramps with zane during the night so id wake up in so much pain. i was just thinking the other day woo ive got away with it this time......

nope lol i got the worst leg cramp last night and my feet are always having spaz attacks lol

 

[ProudMommy26]

Glad I'm not on my own with the cramps. I feel like screaming the whole room down when I have them lol.
I think it's because of the extra weight that our bodies have to get used to and causes the cramping. Also staying in one place too long can bring it on too. I've read that lack of calcium could be the cause, which to be honest is rubbish to me because I drink loads of milk everyday. So not so sure on that one.
I think it's just one of those things we're going to have to cope with till our little ones are here.
Constantly peeing, sleepless nights, penguin waddle, cramps, bad back, constipation and mood swings... Pregnancy doesn't sound very glamorous does it?
Anyway, I hope you're all having a good weekend
It looks like it's going to rain here, but still feels hot

 

[moomin_troll]

i cant wait till my hormoans level out..poor zane gets snapped at so easily sometimes. i then say sorry and he makes me feel worse by saying its alright...poor little thing

 

[mothercabbage]

with you on the leg cramp front...ouch! i heard its lack of salt
boring day here...OH has a say off tomorrow hope the weather is ok, i want to take LO for a picnic

 

[xxyjadexx]

I have woken up twice this month with cramps in my calf, its so painful and made me feel like I had a pulled muscle for days afterwards!

 

[tjw]

tmi but have lost count how many 'clear outs' I've had over the last 24 hrs... am at the point of soreness No contractions though thankfully, but seriously thinking he's not gonna hold on for 8th August...

 

[moomin_troll]

the way my toilet habbits have been recently its alot like the clear out i had before zane was born :S but i cant say im sore so big

good that ur not contracting tho, but it does seem like he wants to come out soon

Must be something in the water, I've had the same this weekend. Actually, Ive been so badly constipated for the past 2 months I swore I pooped less than my 12 lb dog, but this weekend I've gone more than I have in weeks put together.

Seems I can take zofran and not throw up, but not poop OR poop, but throw up if I eat any meat oh well, at least it means I'm still pregnant

Apparently cramps are caused by a lack of potassium. A banana a day keeps the cramps at bay.
Unfortunately i hate bananas so i just have to just stretch it out if i can feel it coming

 

[Trixybell]
