Bump buddies needed for Halloween babies!

[Angelique]

Hi ladies, kind of a rough night and day for me, I ended up calling my doc and going in first thing this morning g as I thought my pelvis was going to be pulled apart, and I couldn't breathe it was so painful. Doc said baby is laying transverse.... across from hip to hip and is pushing and causing the pain. I'm supposed to do a few exercises to try to coax him to turn. And if it doesn't work he will refer me to a specialist who can supposedly help. He's not worried about his positioning for birth as I am already planning a section, but the pain is making it difficult to walk. I go back in a week.

Lesser so sorry to hear about your flat... so frustrating.

Bernie your bump is so cute!!! I have not much of a bump. He is so low and in my back that it seems like my bump isn't growing. Next week I will likely be having an ultrasound to check growth because of this.

Darling.... welcome back! We missed you!

Bump has taken on a life off its own and sometimes when I move I can clearly see a leg or an arm (or something) it freaks me out its like a little alien in my bump. Paul thinks its cute but its scary looking lol!!

 

[pink sparkle]

Lol krissi - in know what you mean although i cant see mine as much give me a few weeks and i will. Lo is defo getting stronger the movements and kicks can make me go 'wow'.

Angie sorry your having a tough time, my lo was transverse at my 20 week scan and on another thread ive been told that if they havent moved by 30 weeks they rarely do so im kinda shitting myself now and hoping that shes in the proper position as i really dont want a c-section. Ive had a look at some excercises on the net they look kinda difficult though. Are there any simple steps i can take? Apparently can be caused by carrying toddler on the hip so i feel doomed as ds is constantly glued to me!

Weather here is bloody awful struggling to get the washing done really getting fed up with it piling up must must must get a tumble dryer soon! Great british weather sucks!

Hi Girls,

Sorry I've been off comms for a little while - I have been spending some quality time with my dog after her scare the other week - we went to the beach and to the Dales and we have been inseparable having a lovely time! I just wanted to spoil her. We're both pretty exhausted and actually she isn't doing too well today - been back to the vet and she's eaten something and upset her tummy - bless her. Its all good practice for the baby - they can't tell you whats wrong either I suppose!

Leeze - really crap about your flat. I know how frustrating having buyers pull out can be. I think you're doing the right thing to make a new plan instead of hanging on waiting for another buyer. I HATE the English system - the Scots have definitely got it right - your buyer would have been MADE to purchase in Scotland!

Angie - I hope you're ok and feeling better. Any news about your dog?

Bernie - your bump looks great!

A couple of weeks ago, Pink Sparkle predicted that my bump might just pop out one day. Jeepers - how right were you Pink? Check out my photos below - I have literally blown up in the last week or so. I'm nearly 27 weeks and have no idea if I am big or small compared to the average I just know I feel massive! Excuse my badly fitting bra - I bought some that I can hopefully use for nursing so there is a bit of room in there!

The baby is getting so strong - I am getting lots of big kicks that can shift the laptop and sharp elbows that can move my boobs!! I've been looking back on all my scan photos today - it's amazing to see how far we've come.

So I am off to the 3rd tri at the weekend. I can't believe it! I am ready for some new threads though - the 2nd tri is driving me bonkers. I am going to buy a lot more of our baby stuff tomorrow - I feel like I should have a few more things handy. We're doing fine for clothes, have got the moses basket, pram and cot and car seat but I would feel better if I had a few of the smaller things aswell like muslins and scratch mitts etc! I want to be prepared!

Somebody asked what prams everyone is getting - we went for the Icandy Peach in blackjack (its actually a dark brown). It was ridiculously expensive but we live in a conservation area and I needed a light pram I can get across stiles and fields aswell as controlling the dog at the same time so we went for it. I'm planning on using the carrycot downstairs for daytime sleeps and the moses basket upstairs initially. I love this pram! I just read that Posh Spice got sent one for free for her new baby. I have been pushing the pram around the house like a bit of a sad/mad woman. I am trying to get the dog used to it - she seems to quite like it - I think she wants to get IN it! I've also had a crying doll in it and she is not remotely bothered by the noise. I think she should be fine.

Right, thats quite enough from me, hope everyone is well xx

 

[Leeze]

very quick hello from me as I'm at work - great to see everyone back!!

Waitress, glad you had some quality time with your dog - sounds great! And your bump looks adorable! I know what you mean about the English system for buying property - it feels so vague and woolly - all based on trust and what seems to be almost a "gentleman's handshake" approach that ultimately amounts to very little! At least even when you rent a flat out you get a deposit if the tenants pull out!! It's almost worth going to live in Scotland for!!!

Angelique - that sounds really painful about your LO lying side to side, let's hope he moves soon!

Pink - I know what you mean about the weather - it's depressing! Mind you, I'm grateful it's not too hot at the moment because my flat gets really hot in the summer.

Krissi - I can't wait to see the LO's arms and legs moving! I've got a lot more flutters nowadays but still not seen anything moving.

Pielette - I had my first hypnobirthing session today. I loved it! She did a short relaxation and visualisation with me and I got really into it. It's helped to calm me down a bit today from the angry state I was in yesterday too!!

Hi everyone else - I might not be on for the next couple of days so will catch you soon xx

waitress nice pics !! xxx

hope everyone else is doing ok,


AFM, today was an awesome day with regards to baby. went to my mums and my aunt was there as well, had lunch and a glass of cold coke and then felt some kicks .. so i called mum over and pressed her hand over my bump and she felt two nice kicks ! and my aunt felt several.. then came home determined to get dh to feel the kicks, woke baby up by just rubbing my tummy, moving it around with my palm and then he felt 2 - 3 kicks himself.

i am so happy and so is he. i have a shitty placenta and finally felt kicks, but they are not as hard or obvious as other women describe it, because of my placenta, i have to concentrate and lay down still and push my fingers in a little hard to feel the kicks, but then i do !!

 

[pink sparkle]

Hi all,

Waitress wow you really have popped out! Fab bump cant believe how much you have grown, the walks with the dog sound great and sounds like doggy will be great with your lo. I love the icandy peach...very jealous...although i wanted the tandem one (peach blossom) was quoted over a thousand pounds for it which i just could not justify as i doubt i would get that much use out of it. Maybe if ds had been a little older i would have got one but hey ho never mind.

So tired again today x

 

[Angelique]

Pink sparkle, the exercises are hard, one suggests standing on your head in a pool, I can't see how that will help!!

Waitress, my dog is home with me, but we have 2 hearings, one for the "criminal side" with a real judge, where we will likely get a fine. And another for the "dangerous animal" which I'm fairly confident we will be OK, because they sent us the qualifications for a dangerous dog and my boy doesn't even come close. That's all this week, so I'm a bit nervous.

Oh and wow your bump looks fabulous! !! I'm so jealous of these bumps! Mine isn't growing a bit, but maybe I will pop as well.

Another sleepless night last night but at some point while I was sleeping the pressure eased up, so I'm very happy!! I have a busy day planned, but I doubt I.will get it all done.

Gotta run for now. Hope everyone has a great day

Darling.... welcome back! We missed you!

Thanks hun.

Me too! Have been in bits the last week and the midwife thought it might be a severe case of contipation. Then she checked the lie of the baby and its transverse/oblique. Painful isn't it? I have so much trouble especially trying to settle at night. I find it hard to breathe and my bump is so sore. You have my sympathy hun. Big hug to you. xxx

 

[Darling]

Emma your bump looks beautiful!! I'll get my bump pic done. Its huge! Well.. I think it is.

 

[Darling]

There you go. The baby is normal size for 26 weeks but I think the transverse lie is what's making me look so huge.

 

[pink sparkle]

Darling great bump hun you look fab x

 

[Darling]

Thanks. Its really a comedy bump! Lol. I think it looks like I have an inflated beach ball under my top!

 

[Birdie Dorf]

Darling, you look great! I cant wait to get that big, I think it is starting to grow slowly out this week. Hope all is well with everyone!

 

[9babiesgone]

how are all of you??

hope you are well just wanted to say hi

and send lots of

 

[Darling]

Hey Shana! How are you? Xxx

 

[9babiesgone]

I could be better. but not bad.

how are you??

 

[Angelique]

Hi guys!! So glad to hear from both of you!!!

Darling you look adorable. And I agree the transverse lie is terrible. But I'm glad its eased a bit. I keep telling my hubby that I swear there are 2 babies in there and wont he be shocked when they hand us both one LOL. It sure feels like it. I can feel kicks at each hip and at my belly button and near my cervix.... its weird.

I'm beat... totally exhausted I'm laying on my bed just vegging after running around all day. Gonna be a hot busy weekend and idk how I will manage but we do what we must I guess....

On a positive note I bought my stroller today, well got it off layaway, and I'm so thrilled! Its lime green with dots. So cute! And hubby just found out he got the second job he applied for, so that will ease some financial stress big time! So excited.

Gonna go eat some yummy Chinese food and go sleep!

 

[babyhopes2323]

Angelique, yay for your hubby getting the job !! have a nice day relaxing, its the best thing you can do !! xx yay for your stroller.. ours is olive green and black.. !

Darling, lovin the bump pic, its amazing.. xx
