Darling buds of May and June bugs!

[meganOUFC]

I expect it's so they can identify the bacteria because te doctors were giving me the wrong anti biotics for ages when I had uti's and a kidney infection. Turns out the bacteria was immune to the meds I was on and I had to get a new type. Naughty bugs!!!!!

Just to agree with u all. I have too had a 'loose' tummy so to speak. I think this is our bodies getting us ready for the imminent eviction!!!!

Nicola sounds like you had a busy day! Hope you have a chilled one tomorrow! Yeah I had her at 38 and a half weeks, would like the same this time! I know j can't believe it's now our month!! September seems a lifetime away when we got out bfps but at the same time it has passed really quick!

Debbie I hope you are ok. I am wondering too if your little princess has made an appearance.

Megan I think you are right, our bodies are getting ready for these baby's to arrive. Anymore symptoms to add? My gums have been bleeding much more the last week. I read this happens before labour as our bodies produce more blood to compensate for any we might lose during delivery.

You're brave planning the next already! I need quite a while to get over the memories of sickness and heartburn from this one before I even think about another I think we planned on waiting til she was about 2 though as I want approx a 2-3 year age gap between them, and plus I'm bridesmaid for my friend in September 2013 so I could do without being pregnant then and hope to have my body back!

I've had a bit of a weird new symptom the last couple of nights that I wonder if any of you can shed any light on? When I've woken up the last 2 mornings the fingers on both of my hands have completely seized up and have been really painful to bend. Once I've bent them a couple of times they seem to return to normal but it's almost as if there's no blood flow getting to them. Has anyone had this or heard of it happening?

Aw Leanne hope your heartburn didn't keep you awake last night! Sounds like it could be your iron, mention it to your midwife. Ooh how exciting planning your second already. Think this will be our last, definitely for a few years anyway.

Nicola it sounds like carpal tunnel syndrome. I get it too and got it last pregnancy too. It's caused by swelling in the wrists that puts pressure on a nerve to your hands. It's worse in the morning as your hands will have been bunched up in the same position for hours. It will go once baby arrives.

Glad to see I'm not the only one awake at this crazy hour I woke up around 5ish with an unbearable pain down one side of my bump and have been wide awake ever since. I thought it was a contraction at first but it never seemed to progress to my right side so I have no idea what it was!

Thanks for the info on carpal tunnel. Some of these pregnancy symptoms are strange aren't they? Who would have ever thought that being pregnant could cause pains in your hands. I've really had my eyes opened since joining this site and getting my BFP.

 

[moggi]

I was going to say carpal tunnel too, it is weird a bit like my tennis elbow that was caused by being pregnant. I've had nasty one sided pains for a while now, they're a mystery to me too. Its not always the same side either, not sure if its the baby lying on something. Term today! Can't believe it XxX

 

[minidancer]

Ha ha I always seem to wake at 5 and can't get back to sleep for ages! So annoying! Has your pain gone? Hope you are ok. I know some symptoms are so strange, my 2 strangest that I have had with both pregnancies are snoring and drooling in my sleep! Hubby days it feels like he us sleeping beside a 20 stone builder some nights I snore do loud The drooling has only been the last couple of weeks but it happened last time too, so strange and dusgusting!!

 

[minidancer]

Rose congrats on reaching term-fab news and you will be relieved. Isobelle can come anytime now xx

 

[meganOUFC]

I get the one sided pain on my bump most nights. It gets triggered when i 'try; to turn over. It's horrible. Kind of like a cross between cramp, a stitch and a contraction
I also get carpal tunnel i have had it for ages. It's really random too!
Although i feel tierd. I actually feel alot better this week, less pregnant sort of. Well apart from the ovious huge bump (and worstening heartburn). I feel almost normal. Maybe I have got use to feeling like a beeched whale hahahahahahah

Really want to know how deb is?????? Any news on going home rose?

 

[moggi]

No news yet I tried to appeal to their better nature telling them i was being a bed blocker and their bed manager would be really pleased with them if they sent me home but they just laughed and said i was being silly. I think one of the worst non physical side effects has been the dreams/nightmares. Had a dream last night that we all met up in reality and everyone had their babies, swapping stories about weaning etc and other developmental achievements, it was around Christmas and i was still pregnant lol. It was horrible! Everyone kept saying awww it wont be long now rose but i was gutted. Bet i'll be the last to deliver now. It was a sign!! XxX

Ha thats funny! Even if you are the last Rose (which I doubt), she will deffo be here before christmas I can promise you that lol x

Well yes, this is true thankfully. XxX

 

[gypsy1981]

Haha Rose, I'd have been upset at that dream too I think Isobelle will be here soon though, I think Debbie has already had her little girl and I think you'll be next. I think I'm going to go over by a week or so, although I'm obviously hoping not.

I do the snoring thing too since I got pregnant and it seems to be getting worse the further on I get. I woke up on Friday night to an empty bed and when I went downstairs Steven was on the settee. When I asked him why he said he'd lay for 2 hours trying to get to sleep but I wouldn't shut up I felt so guilty but there's not really much I can do. I even wake myself up sometimes it gets so loud!

Yeah Megan that's exactly what it felt like. I got stuck on my side as it was so painful I couldn't move. I've had 2 more since then only these ones were in both sides and my bump hardened too. One was at 7am and one was about 10 mins ago so unfortunately I don't think it's a sign of anything happening

 

[meganOUFC]

Omg! Ashley has done the same several times! Fortunately we have a spare bed or two in our house so he has options. But I woke my self up last night snoring! It did stop but I have started to get cold like symptoms and it re appeared again last night. I vaguely remember making my self jump. Muttering f'ing blocked nose and then falling back to sleep. Ashley was say playing a game on his phone so clearly I was keeping him awake

Oh rose I did hae to laugh out loud at you being pregnant at Christmas and people saying not long now. I get that comment all the time now and it drives me mad! Let alone in 7 months time!!!!! Hahahahahaha x

 

[minidancer]

My hubby has relegated himself to the spare bedroom too as he gets up for work at 5. We were both sleeping crap as I was constantly worrying about keeping him awake and feeling guilty so wasn't sleeping well, then when I would finally fall asleep I would start snoring and wake hubby. Now we are both sleeping much better!

I agree I think Debbie's wee girl has arrived already. Not sure who will be next.

Have you started your antibiotics now Rose?

I get that pain too and it's usually when I try and run in bed, I can't move for ages until the pain goes an I can move again. I think it's just ligament pain since they aren't as strong as they normally are.

Ooh Nicola you never know it might be the start of something if the pain is over your whole bump and with tightenings too!

I am just the same, getting painful bh throughout the day, still nothing regular though.

 

[minidancer]

Rose maybe it will be your 4th baby you have dreamt about and you will be pregnant again this Christmas

 

[meganOUFC]

Now there's a thought!
I had a dream in early pregnancy, well after my 20 weeks scan. That I fell pregnant straight away. I render in the dream I felt happy. But when I woke up I was horrified hence I have been thinking about contreception already!

 

[minidancer]

Haha me too, no more babies here!! At least not for a few years anyway. I think if we were having another girl we would definitely try again in a year or 2 for another, but having one of each I don't know anymore. I found it hilarious when I was being discharged after having LO last time and the midwife was telling me to make sure and remember about contraception until I saw my gp at 6 week check-up! I was laughing saying don't need to worry about that, the last thing I was thinking about with a stitched up hooha was dtd!! I was in that much pain I was considering banning it for life
