Beach Bumps - July Rainbows

[BeautifulD]

I'm feeling so crap today.... Is it usual to get constant nausea in third tri when I barely had any in first? Bleeerrrggghhhh

 

[JFG]

I'm starting to dread all my busy plans in May! Two weddings, Races, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, antenatal class, BF class, book club and general meet ups with friends and family! Thank God there's two bank holidays!

Same here! I am really feeling the strain being at work all day - I'm ok until around 2pm then I hit a wall and feel so tired and can't seem to concentrate on anything I also have a busy May with antenatals, appointments, loads of family and friends birthdays and general catch ups! Definately roll on the bank holidays

A1983 - I'm so glad all is ok and you are back home resting.

BeautifulD - Ahh i am so jealous right now, can't wait to finish - only another 6 weeks to go I'm using 3 weeks annual leave before my maternity leave starts so hope baby isn't too overdue orelse i'll be going crazy with boredom..although the idea of not having to get up for work is vvvery appealing!!

Dollybird - your post did make me laugh..i'm very comfortable with my hubby
in that department but must admit the thought of pooing in labour makes me cringe! My friends say i won't care and the midwives are very discreet and sweep it away as they are constantly changing the mats etc, but as i want a water birth i just keep imagining it popping up to the surface LOL
I also have a bit of swelling in my feet and ankles especially if its hot and i've been on my feet all day, I keep having to take my rings off so think it may be time to put them away just in case they get stuck!

LOL at it popping to the surface.... I must admit this does make me cringe too. I was also wondering.... Do you have to get completely naked? don't think I fancy that either seeing as my best friend will be my birthing partner along with hubby... We're close but I think that's pushing the boundaries somewhat

I am really pleased I booked it all early as I really don't think I could carry on much longer, I too have been hitting that wall a lot this past week... I have to say its giving first tri tiredness a run for its money thats for sure lol

Beautiful D, my symps are coming back a bit. I was never very sick the first tri, so now I think it's more to do with acid reflux and heartburn.

Holy crap I'm tired though. I've been at work for 2 hours and I wish I could crawl off somewhere for a nap!

 

[flapjack10]

BD - Urrrgh that must be horrible feeling nauseated all the time. I feel like First Tri is back with avengance, but luckily no nausea and my appetite is doubled rather than gone!

Sooooo sleepy! Not long until maternity leave now. Just got to cling on!

Oh no I really haven't thought this through...I assumed you wore a bikini/tankini? I'm not sure I like the idea of being completely naked but then maybe at the time i won't care what i look like or who's looking at what!

Yeah I'm going to see how I get on and try and last out until June as I want more time off afterwards..we will see though. I think the tiredness is worse this tri as i'm not sleeping well of a night whereas in first tri I felt really tired but would sleep for 8/9 hours a night and have a nap from work! Now i'm lucky to get a good 8 hours in between toilet trips, dead leg/hip, rolling on my back and just generally waking lol! Only 10 more weeks and it will all be worth it x

Im getting worse sleeps each night, i cant get comfy i keep rolling onto my back and snoring! I feel tired during the afternoons now but cant nap! Oh well all part of the journey! Hows everyone else doing, lovely sunshine here today. I have exhausted myself reading about birth so ive started reading about babies now! I got the wonder weeks on my kindle seems quite interesting so far its about baby brain development when to expect behaviour changes etc.
I think in a hospital water birth ladies choose to wear a bikini top or something, but its up to you i guess!

 

[flapjack10]

Bump pic time!

 

[BeautifulD]

Ahhhh FJ You've really popped I was thinking that I should do one tomorrow seeing as I hit the big 30

JFG/Merristems I'm also struggling with sleep, last night I had horrible acid reflux I kept waking up with a mouthful - GROSS!!!! The whole way through this pregnancy I've slept happily on my left side and now I keep waking up with a dead, painful hip... Don't even get me started on rolling over all totally worth it though of course

afm......... One shift down at work..... 2 to go hurrah!!

 

[merristems]

Lovely bump pics flapjack i will do a 25wk one tomorrow! woop!
Beautiful hurah for 2 shifts left!

Just started filling in my mat form cor its scary i hate official forms!

 

[Dollybird]

Fj lovely bump!! Looking forward to seeing everyone elses bump pics too! My nausea and vomiting has returned too! Although not as bad as first tri. Think it's cause of all the acid reflux and reduced tummy space! I'm feeling out of breath a lot and also struggling to get a good nights sleep- hubby is getting annoyed to cause apparently I've started doing this weird grunt thing when I do actually fall asleep so he's not getting sleep either!
Totally shattered today and yesterday- finding it hard to do much at all! Feel like a right lazy git! Haha. Hope everyone's well! Xxx

 

[merristems]

Your not a lazy git Dolly! As for the grunting lol me too! It so annoying i used to be a proud silent sleeper now i wake us both up!!

 

[Dollybird]

Haha glad I'm not the only one!! Wonder what causes it. ? Oh well it's only fair that if we can't sleep well then neither do our hubby's! Hahaha. Xxx

 

[BeautifulD]

My hubby has to wear ear plugs

 

[girlinyork]

I'm off for a night on the antenatal ward :/ I've had horrid pain under my ribs and the strongest pain killers haven't touched it so I'm getting my liver and gall bladder looked at - yay!

 

[BeautifulD]

Ah honey! I was wondering where you were yesterday. Im sorry you're in so much pain hopefully they can get to the bottom of it, take care and keep us posted xx
