So must be normal how I'm feeling as all of you are also having those engaging pains. It feels like my vagina is going to fall of and every step I take hurts! Going to the bathroom REALLY hurts, and im waddling twice as much as normal! Does this sound the same as what everyone else is feeling? It feels like it wont be much longer! But then Ive heard people feel like this for weeks! ugh, not sure how much more I can stand!!! This never happened with Kylar he never dropped!

I don't know what my problem has been the last few days.

Tons of braxton hicks and I swear baby is getting so strong that movements are painful.

I don't really get kicks anymore, just rolling movements and some part of LO has lodged right in the top of my bump and is as hard as a rock.

I also get the urge to do these huge projects, but when I think about actually getting up and doing it....well I just don't haha.

Hi all

Glad appointments are going well for everyone and all signs point to lovely healthy bambinos
My foof is getting painful as well and the pressure in my crotch is immense. I had to sit on my ball and have a go of my tens machine last night to try and get a bit of relief. I walked back from my parent craft/ antenatal class and I think I may have over done it.

Also my fingers are really stiff. Midwife said it is due to swelling and fluid pooling in my hands but it's getting really painful so I may have to have a trip to the docs if this carries on.

Tomorrow I'm off for a lovely trip to Whitby with OH. Looking forward to chips in a cone Rock, seafood and generally munching all day long And the smell of sea air, yummmmmmm.

@mamheather congrats. hope you all are ok!

@ mrstacporter! im due the same day not long now!

so i went for my routine midwive appt this morning and she asked was everything fine so i said i would just say about the itching i have been suffering with the last two weeks. it started on my belly and i thought that it was just because my stretchmarks but then it started on my legs. my legs and belly are full of scratches now once i start scratching i cant stop. it feels so relieving scratching the itch away! now my belly is sore to touch! she told me i had to fast tonight to get bloods done in the morningto make sure its not the liver oranything? should i be worried. i knowthere is a sticky thread on that obstretic cholestis(spelling wrong sorry) but surely if i had that id be really bad like scratching 24/7 and really really raw!!xx

Moomin - I feel the urge to clean, just don't feel as though I have the energy to do it! hehe....so the nesting urge clearly isn't that strong for me! Though... I did clean all my floors the other day!

Mamaheather - Congrats!!

to alllllll the newbies

Well I hit 37 weeks tomorrow! YAY I can go in the birthing unit! and he's def deep down, omg I feel bruised and broken down there and I'm really starting to struggle to walk and pick my son up and as he can't walk yet I have no choice but to just get on with it, but as soon as he goes to bed, I'm in agony! Gonna try a warm bath in a min to see if that helps!

Can't believe it's half way through July!!!! ahhhh can't wait to see all these little bubbas!

 

[moomin_troll]

i havent cleaned my kitchen in a day and its a tip hahaha

zanes at nursery for 6 hours tomo so im going to get things done then.
i want to go for a bath but i really cant be bothered to do that either....i need energy

 

[Stef]

Im the same, ive zero energy at the moment.

We were supposed to start the nursery on Weds and when it came to doing it I just couldnt be bothered. I really need to pull my finger out in these next few weeks.

Tiredness is back again only this time worse and everything seems like such an effort eugh!

xx

 

[sunshinegirl]

I was the same really tired no energy, when I hit 37 wks nesting kicked in and the energy I have has gone through the roof. I scrubbed kitchen floors, cleaned carpets, bathroom is sparkling.....I don't get much sleep at night either but the energy is there.

I just got to sort out my bedroom and do the kitchen cupboards and im done.

I have also been bouncing on my ball today helping baby girl get into position better. Just over 2 weeks until E.D.D.

 

[jennthompson]

Ohh I have my fingers crossed that I get some energy back soon. When I think of another month of feeling so drained....well let's just say I'm not a happy momma lol

 

[krockwell]

I had a burst of energy today... Cleaned the bathroom upstairs, folded & put away 2 loads of laundry, plus put another 2 on, swept the kitchen...

Been having cramps and such on and off all day today, as well as yesterday. Hoping baby decides to come in 2 weeks when OH is off on his next set of days off.

 

[Kylarsmom]

Im glad I got my nesting and baby prep done early when i had the energy bc i have absolutely zero lately!!

 

[moomin_troll]

im glad coreys stuff is all sorted i just need to get all the other stuff around him sorted now lol

 

[Kylarsmom]

first and last nakey bump pic! lol 37 weeks tomorrow!

 

[SammieGrace]

Cullen's things are ready, but the rest of the house is a mess.... and I am just drained most all of the time. Had my 35 week appointment today. Dr. said that I am not dilated, but that my cervix is thinning, so thats good.

 

[Jodie.82]

nice bump kylarsmum! def a boy bump!
im not having any of the pressure all you ladies are talking about I guess bubs is still breech...... feels more sideways but either way i dont think there is any head engaging where it should be, 37 weeks now, would actuallly be happy to start feeling some pressure!

 

[xxyjadexx]

Yay! 37weeks today!!
Lovely bump pics kylarsmom x

 

[ProudMommy26]

Kimber89- The itching sounds horrible. Hope it's not nothing too bad. My friend had that condition, but they didn't notice it till she was 38 weeks.

Welcome Krockwell Very nice due date you have there

Congrats on reaching 37 weeks ladies! Nearly there now

Charliekeys- I hope that pain easies off for you. It's horrible I know, especially when you have a young child to look after.

Beautiful bump Kylarsmom!!!

I'm still having this horrible stomach bug. Been on the toilet for the last 4 days But it's starting to gradually ease off (I think), still painful though.
I've been having zero energy too. (The no sleep hasen't helped) But having a shower helps.
I'm getting no engaging pains anymore so I think he's definitely moved. I hope he moves back to head down again soon, but it's nice not being in so much pain.

Hope you're all well today
