So glad everyone is doing well!

Congrats baby on a great 20 week scan!

So sorry you had the scare claire1! i Know exactly how scary that can be. I have a doppler at home and use it constantly when I can't feel the baby move. Mine doesn't move a whole lot on some days and I think she is a pretty good sleeper lol. I also realized that when she is in certain positions I have a hard time feeling her. The doppler is very reassuring because I truly start to freak out sometimes. I feel bad though because she seems to hate the doppler. I wonder if it sends off a sound or something? I hope I'm not hurting the baby. Hope your next scan goes perfectly. My doctor said they can be off by 3 weeks, so hopefully your was just off a little and will be cleared up at next scan! It is such a pain to constantly go in, but it's good that they keep an eye on us! Keep us posted!

I am having some pelvic pain. It runs along my bikini line. I am going to a chiropractor next friday and hoping he can help!

Hope everyone is well!!
 
Thanks Stranjegirl :) I wish I had a doppler now, would make things bit easier. I didnt realise they can be 3 weeks out? The baby was measuring below the bottom line on my chart. The baby was in a tiny ball, So it makes me wonder how accurate it can be??
Im hoping it is something really simple, dont want to stress as that wont do any good. What will be will be. I'll probably end up with a little porkey one lol.
Sorry to hear your having pelvic pain, hope it can be sorted.
My, umm lady garden has been sore for quite some time now. It feels like muscular pain, so im guessing its all the stretching going on? Anyone else had that? x
 
Sorry about your scare Claire. My doctor told me that it's very common for babies to measure a behind when they're curled up, so I'm sure that's all it was and that all will be well at your next appointment. :thumbup:

Hope everyone else is doing well.
 
i have that pelvic pain for a while now too.....but much better since im not working!

having reg nose bleeds.....wats that all abt????

baby is constantly moving.......like 24 hrs a day, completely hyper!!!!
 
i'm quite lucky, havent really had any pelvic/hip/lady garden pain yet, sounds nasty though.

trix my little girlie also moves constantly. thankfully she doesnt keep me awake at night, either shes a good night sleeper or i just sleep through it lol! hoping shes a good night sleeper and can keep that routine! some of her kicks/movements are becoming quite violent lol, feels like she's trying to break out of my stomach at times. quite funny watching my stomach move so much.

i have my 28 week appointment on tuesday with the MW. has anyone else found it hard to book app's with their midwife? our docs only book 5-6 weeks in advance or so they keep telling me. so i've been ringing to try to book the 20th dec (she only does tuesdays and the following will be a bank hol, so otherwise i will be 36 weeks and meant to have another app anyway!) but they're saying cant book that far yet. only thing is when i finally do get to book, they usually say ah shes fully booked on that day can offer you the next week. i feel like a nag but i've been ringing every day!

its the weekend, so happy. 29 working days left until i finish yipee!
 
Woohoo 29 days Dreamer!! I cant wait to finish either, 15 days for me :) Your doctors sounds like a nightmare, very disorganised. Pleased to hear you've managed to avoid any pelvic pain etc.
Trixie, I heard that a bleeding nose is another sign of our bodies preparing for labour. All our muscles and ligaments getting soft and flexible for delivery.
Hope your baby isnt keeping you awake at night too much xx

Oh forgot to add, I had a check-up/RV today and my bump hasnt grown since my last visit, 2 weeks ago :( They said not to worry too much, but was just wondering how your measurments have been between visits ladies?
 
Hey ladies.. happy to hear your all doing well..

Sorry to those of you with pelvic pain.. i have been mostly having sciatic nerve pain.. makes me want to cry sometimes.. try to rest more but doesnt seem to do much.. and with a 2 year old toddler its hard to rest or relax in the bath.. only 3 months left.. so its all okay and worth it.. :)

Going to paint the babys nursery tomorrow i think or sunday.. so looking forward to that.. also going to start christmas decorating.. i know its early yet but only 13 days to turkery day then its all about christmas.. so oh well getting an early start..
 
HI Everyone-
Hope all is well.

Claire, sorry about your bump not growing. Mine was measuring way behind and I keep measuring it and it also has not grown for a couple weeks. I really think it depends on the position of the baby. Every once and a while the baby moves toward the top and it grows a couple centimeters, then the baby moves and it goes back down. My stomach was measuring way behind, and I too had a baby that was sitting in a ball. It makes me nervous too, but I really think everything is fine. I read that bump measurement was accurate like 50% of the time. When is your next scan? I hope everything looks good and they can put your mind at ease! My next one is Tuesday, but not sure if he will be measuring the baby or not. I too am sore down there :( I had muscle pain before pregnancy and it definitely causes soreness and swolleness, and burning etc. Right now I am swollen and sore, and it is very tender to the touch. I hope it eases for both of us.

Glad your pelvic pain is better than it was trixie, but sorry you still have it. I made an appt with a chiro next friday to see if it will ease mine. I have bad pelvic issues to begin with so I am hoping to stop anything before it gets really bad. I'll let you know if he has any good suggestions. I too am getting regular nose bleeds, which has never happened before. THey aren't gushing, but definitely blood in there.

Sorry too Lirojo about the sciatica! I'm noticing as we move farther along everyone is getting uncomfortable!!! Have you tried a chiro? My back has been killing me after sleeping or sitting to long, and then it's hard to straighten up and hurts to walk. I am hoping the chiro will help with that too. I guess I shouldn't hold my breath lol. Your right though, it is totally worth it!

Congrats dreamer on 29 days left! I need to count mine so I can start to get excited about it! Although I get no maternity leave or disability pay so it is kinda bitter sweet for me. And we are moving so when I say good bye that will be it. Although we just found out that our company might close down at the end of the year, so it was good timing for me to leave!

Have a great weekend! :)
 
Yup I can identify with the pelvic pain/groin pain/hip pain. It's not all the time for me, I find it is worst when I've been sitting down for too long and go to stand up.. my girls are moving a decent amount, not waking me up though. I'm definitely beginning to feel big though lol and unfortunately I see the beginning of some stretch marks. Good luck with the chiropractor Stranje – I wouldn’t be able to exist without mine. Unfortunately I still get the pelvic pain off and on even though I see him every two weeks. Luckily no sciatica so far (knock on wood)

sorry to hear about your apptmt troubles dreamer. Mine have been pretty easy but it's a different system over here. Of course they totally messed up my appointment last Monday, it ended up scheduled for 8am when I know for a fact I scheduled it for 10am. And then the apptmt I had scheduled for Thursday wasn't scheduled. I knew that girl didn't know what she was doing. Apparently on top of being incompetent however she was also a bit rude so apparently the office had already fired her. That made me feel a little better, but my mom had come with me on Monday to see the ultrasound which they couldn’t do because of how late I was. Which meant I didn’t get any measurements either, boo.. I did get my 3d/4d one on Thursday though which was pretty cool, but they only did pictures, no measurements. I’ll see if I can get a couple pictures posted sometime this week.

I’m so excited for you girls to be off work. I wish I could be off work. I have been working tons from home lately though. Just can’t stand walking across the parking lot lol!! Plus lately I've been waking up every 3 hours for no good reason so having a couch to nap on close by is very handy.

Yay turkey day and Christmas. Typically I don’t like to deal with Christmas until after Thanksgiving but this year I am so ready for Christmas.. it’s my favorite holiday.. all the lights and decorations and coziness.. love it.

Have fun painting the nursery lilrojo – I love working on ours. I’m in the process of making homemade crib skirts right now.. we’ll see how they turn out lol. As it is I have to buy more fabric because the first side I made had the stripes going the wrong way. Darn pregnancy brain.

How do my posts get so long so fast? Oh well. You have been spared a long venting about my MIL. The woman is going to drive me crazy before she even gets out here I swear. Still trying to get her to accept the fact that no in fact I don’t want her here before the babies come and I really don’t want to set up a live internet feed of my baby shower just so she can see me open her gift (even if I knew how lol). Sigh.

Hope everyone had a good weekend and your week is going smoothly. Ooh look - I'm officially 6 mos today (based on counting backwards from my due date)! I love the looks on peoples faces when I tell them I still have 3 mos left lol - I do look a little bigger than that.
 
Hey ladies! Hope you all are doing well. Sorry to those of you with aches/pains/pulls. I haven't been suffering too much. Sometimes I'll have a hard time getting comfortable in bed, but other than that, nothing too bad.

Had my 28-week 3D scan today! Baby was being very shy and covering his face most of the time, so didn't get very good pictures. But they are letting me get another quick peek in 2 weeks when I go back. But, good news, my placenta has moved up and out of the way and he is measuring right on track. Estimated weight of 2lbs 11oz. He is breech position right now, and I was so sure he was head down based on my un-educated guess by poking around my belly and trying to guess what was hands and feet. So I was kinda surprised when she said he was breech! Oh well, he still has plenty of time to turn. Also, went and picked up my furniture that I had re-upholstered for the baby's room (one is a chaise lounger and an old rocker that was my great-grandfather's). They both turned out so great!! Also, met up with an old co-worker who just had her 2nd boy 2 months ago and she sold me a bunch of baby clothes. I'd say nearly 50 pieces and some are really nice, expensive outfits....only paid $80 for the lot! Very grateful for that! My work through me a shower yesterday and gave me a $300 babies r us gift card along with a few other knick knacks for baby! I was so shocked and thankful for that! Was def. not expecting that much!!

Whew! Sorry for all the rambling...hope you all are feeling better and enjoy the upcoming weekend!
 
hi girls, cant believe im 30 weeks!! whooo-hooooooo

lady l im uncomfortable in bed too.....cant believe you got 300 from your work shower, we dont have showers here im i really wish we did, im completely struggling getting organised!

i have had no more nose bleeds, just a little blood when i blow!....i have my next apt on tue and i think ill be going of my antibiotic then....

dreamer you defo need a new dr....im lucky in a way that i see the consultant 2 weekly so dont have that trouble....but i also see the midwife on a fri morning if i want to but i only ring that week to make an appt....maybe you need to go to a country gp.....they may not be as busy...

omg this baby is tryin to escape!!!! thumps are getting quite violent!!!!
 
great deal on the clothes and awesome about the shower gift ladyL! My shower is a week from Sunday, not really sure if the girls at work will throw a separate one or not since a couple of them are invited to my regular one. ok either way.

yay 30 weeks trixie! The weeks have really started to go by faster it seems. Your comment about the thumps cracked me up. I swear yesterday I had a little mosh pit going on in there. It was just crazy!

Really can't wait til my next scan on Tuesday.. it will have been 6 weeks since my last measurements/estimated weights. Although the movement does help to reassure me that they both seem to be going strong.

And I have all next week off of work! yay! I did give in a figure out a way to live stream my babyshower (I admit it when I got the big package with all these gifts and then the web cam to hook up I felt super guilty). But I am setting it up so she can't talk back (besides typing), just watch. She'd best not complain and take what she is given lol.
 
hi ladies,

my 28 week checkup went well, everything was good! after calling so much to try and get the appointment for the 20th dec, i went to the reception desk to try book it after my appointment, and the cheek of the woman behind the counter - she said ahh she might be fully booked...i just looked at her and said i blimin hope not, i've been ringing for days trying to get booked in!!! well thankfully there was one free so at least thats sorted.

lady sorry he was covering his face but glad you get another peek soon :) i cant really figure out how my little one is lying, i get kicks, pokes, prods what feels like everywhere but for my last 2 midwife/gp app's they've written cephalic which i think is head down (?). i've also been getting some very violent thumps, i agree with trix, it really feels like she is trying to break out!!! its funny lying on my side in bed and i can feel her kicking the mattress through my belly.

yey for 30 weeks trix :) for me that feels like the next milestone so i can't wait to hit that.

i wish i had another scan to see my little one again. such a shame we dont get one after 20 weeks. hope yours goes well tobaira, and hope you have a lovely baby shower.

we don't tend to do them in the UK, but my friend is throwing me a littlle baby shower with games and nibbles, just for close friends and family on the 13th dec. people have been asking me what we'd like, and i've said to them i dont expect gifts, but they've asked me to put together a little list of what we need and dont be silly they want to get us some bits and bobs. really looking forward to it.

hope everyone is feeling well, i know im glad its the weekend hoorah xxx
 
Hey :hi:, Looks like everyone is doing well and our little ones are kicking and punching harder and harder. My baby is breech at the moment, so getting most movement over my bladder put punches higher up.

As for me, the hospital app went well. Baby doesnt seem to be measuring too small, but still slightly below average. I also had less fluid then my last app, so have to go back on monday to get more baby measurments and check fluid. They dont seem too concerned about it, so fingers crossed.

Thanks for all reasurants from everyone, it seems baby measurments and bump measurments arent always accurate. Im just pleased they are keeping an eye on little one.

Ive got 2 weeks left at work!! Cant believe we're all getting so close now :happydance:
 
thats great claire....glad it went well!

im getting scanned every 2 weeks, next one is tomorrow, im so glad that i get that ...i wouldnt cope if i didnt see him often!

do you think it would be cheeky to ask for a shower if its not the norm?
 
so today hasn't gone the way I hoped it would. Went to my apptmt, turns out both babies are measuring small (2lb 1 oz and 2 lb 3 oz) - otherwise known as intrauterine growth restriction. So I have been put on bed rest for the remainder of my pregnancy and have been referred to a maternal fetal specialist. So I'm pretty upset today. It seemed like everything was going great to me, they've been kicking up a storm lately but.. who knows. I guess on the plus side I have a lot of things done but.. the thought of spending the next 8-10 weeks in bed is a bit daunting, although I plan on doing everything I can to get those girls to grow. I'm sure tomorrow will be be better, today just goes down in the books as one crappy day.

hope all you girls are doing well =)
 
So sorry about the bed rest Tobaira! But at least they're ok; twins are usually smaller, no? And over 2 lbs doesn't sound that small to me for only 28weeks! (But what do I know? :shrug:). Is there a chance to get off bed rest if they start gaining weight more quickly?

I hope everyone is doing well. Some of you are getting really close! I'm so jealous....I can't believe I still have 16 weeks. I feel like I've been pregnant FOREVER.
 
This link says 2.22 lbs is average for 28 weeks...

sorry to hear that tobaira (although bed rest sounds good to me right now lol not sure if i can face another 4 weeks at work!) jokes aside, really hope it helps you/your girlies to grow. must be worrying when they say something like that, so hope you feel a little better tomorrow. i agree with the other girls 2lb doesnt sound too bad, my book say 2 1/2 lb at 28 weeks. really hope its just precautionary and will help them gain that bit extra faster.

how was your scan trix x
