[A1983]

As of next week Bath Atm Essex (no im not an Essex girl!) You?

 

[Dollybird]

Lovely bumps ladies!! And I love the face too a1983! I'm shattered- just in from nightshift. Struggling past few days with work I just feel shattered constantly and sooo uncomfy.. Having terrible swollen feet and hands and don't even get me started on the heartburn.. It's horrific!! Plus the morning sickness seems to be back and here to stay- but nothing as bad as it was in first tri thankfully. And I feel roasting constantly! So I can empathise with that.
Last time I weighed myself if put on 20lbs.. But That was when I was 20 odd weeks or something.. Too scared to weigh myself now! Haha. Think I'm retaining a lot of water... Well that what I'm telling myself anyways! Lol.
Hope everyone is well xxx

Surrey hun, near Epsom.

Dolly I feel your pain, I got to that point ages ago at work. When do you start maternity leave?

I'm roasting all the time too especially at night, hubby is like a radiator too which doesn't help

Little dude is really pushing on my cervix today owies!!

 

[Dollybird]

Got three weeks to go after this week! Oh I know my hubby is like a radiator too! We have to sleep with the window open and even then I don't have the covers over me! When are u starting mat leave?
I think my bubs turned last night- he was breech at my 28 week appointment, but I felt a lot of goings on from him last night on my break and now getting big kicks high up which previously I only felt down low.. Will find out Friday though got midwife again. Hoping he has and hoping he stays that way!xxx

 

[BeautifulD]

Its interesting you say that dolly. I have lots of movement down low and only pushing out sensations up high occasionally. I was told onmy last mw appointment that he was breech but kind of didn't believe her as they said nothing about him being breech a few days before at my consultant appointment and my movements hadn't changed! Hmmm

I'm the same, no covers for me its too much lol.

I had to take all my holiday before so my last day was Saturday just gone

 

[Dollybird]

Awe I'm soooo jealous!! Wish I was off already. Dunno how I'm gonna last the next three weeks...
Your movement sounds like mine was- just pushing out higher up.. And all the little kicked/jabs down low. And now it's changed.. Can't wait to find out if I'm right! Xxx

 

[BeautifulD]

Eeee I hope that bubs has switched!

I have mw on monday, I'm hoping this little worm turns... I have a scan at 34 weeks so will know for sure then. I really really dont want a c section

 

[flapjack10]

Hope you girls have had somersaults in your belly and those babes aren't breech anymore!

[merristems]

Those movements sound promising dolly and beautiful, i hope they have switched around for you. Yeah on mat leave starting beautiful, shame they made you use up your holiday though.
A1983 im a west country girl too a little further west though near yeovil!
Yes back in legging today wet and grey again! Im hot too, im never normally hot in bed, cant stand it at the mo. Grrr im still waiting for my forms from tax office to come through to register self employed before i can apply for my maternity allowance me and the government have a rocky relationship!!

 

[BeautifulD]

Well it was either that or lose it, im happy with having nearly 6 weeks holiday to be honest

The government suck!

 

[JFG]

All your bumps are gorgeous beachies!

How is everyone?

Thinking of you GIY!

Anyone else feel like they're turning into an eating machine? I've put on 18lbs since getting pg - I think this is alright, but I don't want to put on more really! Soon I'll weigh the same as my hubby!

xxx

Me! Last time I weighed myself i'd put on over 2 stone its my own fault I keep eating for two I do try and stick to healthy options like fruit and salads etc and now the weather is warmer it is easier to be honest work is my downfall as the office is always full of cakes/chocs/sweets etc!! Also it doesn't help when family members keep commenting on how big my legs/bum have got don't you just love em!!

 

[flapjack10]

Yes there's always naughty treats in work here too!

Plus my hubby is a complete feeder - he eats like a monster and never puts anything on!

People say I look neat and suit being pregnant, but I'm really paranoid they're just saying it to be nice...! Why say anything at all?!

Although someone said, "How are the twins?" the other day and that wound me up a bit!

[wantingagirl]

Yay to mat leave, I've been off since beginning of April

I've had the odd drink on a special occasion and did with others and were just fine and also had a few prawn cocktails s

Must do a new bump pic soon 32 weeks nearly already

Who's first to go?

Xxx

 

[BeautifulD]

Ladykara I think wag!

Oh trust me, if people think you're massive they have no qualms in saying so.... I've been on the reciveing end!

Xx

I think my husband has turned into a eating machine, he doesnt seem to stop. With my other pregnancies, I could eat loads, but have not been too bad this time, eating three meals a day and not much snacking. My midwife commented on my face looking fuller, everyone else cant believe I am due in July. Lucky had midwife yesterday and she measured me and I am on schedule, other people comments make me paranoid. How is everyone else doing, not long now girls till we meet our little ones

I gained almost 30 lbs the first tri, which I think I can thank the progesterone for. I'm very fluffy. Luckily that slowed down and I've only gained 12 more lbs from week 13 til now. I indent like crazy if I cross my legs or arms, so I am sure most of that weight first tri was water weight. People are surprised when I tell them how much I have gained (only admit that to close friends of course) so I don't feel too bad about it. OH, and when I measured around my bust for a new nursing dress, the area around my boobs had gone from 39 inches to 50 inches. I HAVE A 50 INCH CHEST!! I am sure that is quite a bit of weight gain there. I got a little fluff on my back now too, but I think that is probably to keep me from tipping over forward.

I am not concerned a whole lot. I get full really fast, so I know I'm not over eating. Sometimes I struggle to get a little variety of fruits/veggies in cause I really am not eating a large volume of food. And I was pretty active before pregnancy, still fairly active and mobile during, so I think I will be able to get it off after and can start running again.

 

[BeautifulD]

Ugh.... why do men have to be so tight!? I've just had a slightly heated debate about me buying new pj's for hospital and a new nighty for birthing... I got, what's wrong with the pj's you have and why on earth would you need a nighty for birth, that's what hospital gowns are for!!! What a dushe!

 

[mackjess]

BD, I ordered a swimsuit, on Amazon so it was much cheaper than the maternity store ones, but still pricey. My BBs got so huge I couldn't even wear 2 pieces I currently own and show off the bump if I wanted to. He asked why I needed a swimsuit?? My due date isn't til late July, and I'll have to wear it the rest of this summer. I guess I wasn't supposed to swim this year? I was so annoyed! Especially since I told him I was upset that the fluid retention started bothering my knees and I had to cut back on my walking last week. He knows how important still exercising is to me because I've gained so much!

I still need to pick up some hospital PJs cause I know I'm going to have friends/family visiting. I'm sure that will be another mini-debate.

 

[BeautifulD]

Exactly... wear a hospital gown to give birth... I couldn't believe it I will buy it and he WILL suck it up! Haha

 

[flapjack10]

MEN! I got my birthing nightie from Primark so I don't care what gunk gets on it, it's loose, comfy and seems really cooling. But I want a new one so my old ones don't get wrecked and smell all hospitally iykwim - I want to wear my older PJs when I get home. Plus it's good for skin to skin. Also I've bought new dark PJ bottoms incase I have any spillages after the birth. MEN!

Sorry just had an imaginary row with your OH!

I've nearly got my hospital bag sorted. When are you guys doing yours? I've still got to do baby's and OH's bags though.
