Yeah stupid full moon!!! Hmmmm there are so many things I am looking forward to!! A nice cold g & t and a glass of bubbly, being able to do housework without having to take a rest and catch my breath! Eating whatever I like without worrying about heartburn! Being able to keep my house tidy instead of looking at something lying on the floor or dropping something and thinking 'do I really need that enough to justify bending to pick it up'. Being able to run around and play with LO. Sleep in same bed as hubby since my snoring will have disappeared. Wearing normal clothes.......man my list could go on and on and on

 

[gypsy1981]

Mmm G&T, oh how I've missed it! And red wine... And rose wine.... Although I still won't be able to have much while I'm breastfeeding

I'm looking forward to being able to sleep on my stomach, being able to lie on one side for more than 40 mins without waking up with a dead hip, being able to eat meals with onions in them again, being able to enjoy chocolate without thinking of what's coming afterwards, binning my bottle of gaviscon, seeing my stretch marks fade a bit, being able to bend over, being able to buy new clothes that don't come from mothercare or Next maternity section.... Oh I could go on forever!

The main thing has to be though that I can stop worrying about why I haven't felt any movement for a couple of hours - I think it'll take some adjusting to not having someone kick me in the tummy repeatedly throughout the day

 

[minidancer]

The last time I was desperate to be able to sleep on my front again as that wa show I always slept before getting pregnant. When it came to it though my body seemed to forget how to sleep comfortably on my front and I couldn't do it and never slept on my front again

 

[meganOUFC]

That's what I am looking forward to. Sleeping on my front and also not subjecting everyone to my snoring!!! What is it with that?????? Why do I all of a sudden snore???? Like a pig apparently! Lol

I've got a new problem
Now. Piles! Ouchy!!!!!! May have something to do with a horrible hard bench I had to sit on for most of yesterday I can barely sit down at all today. Plus the pressure from baba. I so want this baby to arrive now!

 

[gypsy1981]

Bleh - insomnia is back! It's such a good job I don't have to go to work these days as I only average about 3 hours sleep a night

Sorry if this is tmi but I've had a touch of the runs today and I'm so fricking excited as it's my first real sign that things are starting to happen! It seems to be getting worse as the day goes on as well so I'm hoping that's a positive! Also got a really achey pelvis - like when I turn over in bed it feels like all the muscles down there are being stretched and there's lots of pressure against them. Hope this means she's low down!

 

[BrandysBabies]

Had a horrible OB appt today. Had a new male OB come in with the head nurse into my tiny room and get on to me for my diabetes and the fact that I have gained 20lbs in the last 7 weeks. First off, I AM controlling my diabetes!! And secondly, I am not doing anything different as far as eating or activity than I was before the last 7 weeks. I have only gained 20lbs the ENTIRE pregnancy!! I was in tears by time I left and they are talking about wanting to take her earlier just to ensure that she doesnt get too big. Go ahead!!!! That way I wont have to see any of you stupid DRs ever again!! I have no control other than what I am already doing to ensure she is healthy and happy. They were upset that I didnt bring in my blood sugar monitor, well I would have if you had told me I needed to!! I was told to bring it in next Monday, like it's going to matter a week before I deliver?!?!? Morons!! I am sorry, It just upsets me all over again every time I think about it! At my scan afterward with the high risk specialist, she assured me that the baby is only in the 61% percentile and that my sudden weight gain is probably water weight as my ankles are swollen now and werent before.

So now my mission is to do everything in my power to bring on labor before my appt next week as I will be damned if I go through another day like today! I am term tomorrow!! Yeah!!! Isn't the point for this to be as happy and relaxed time as possible?! Instead I have been made to feel like I am causing harm to my baby, which has really stressed me out!

Sorry, mini rant over!! I just hope that DR isnt the one delivering me!

 

[moggi]

Awww Brandy sorry you had such a bad appointment Some healthcare "professionals" have absolutely no bedside manner at all. Congrats on reaching term XxX

I feel really weird today, not pregnant at all if that makes sense? Been feeling like it for a couple of days but today even more so. Must be a hormone thing mustn't it? The thought of actually having a baby in the next few weeks seems impossible, has anyone else felt like this? Had a weird dream again last night too about bleeding really heavily, it was just running out of me and I couldn't stop it but I wasn't pregnant in the dream....... strange is not the word!

Nicola, I had a few episodes yesterday on the toilet too (tmi lol).

Hope everyone is ok

XxX

 

[gypsy1981]

Aw brandy sorry your app was so crap, hope you don't have to see that doctor again! Congrats on reaching term - is that all of us full term now?

I can't believe I'm due next week - the last couple of weeks seem to have flown by!

Rose I've had days where I don't feel pregnant too, although it doesn't tend to last a whole day as the heartburn always makes a mean comeback and reminds me! Maybe it's a sign that things are close to the end for you?

Anyone had any more symptoms? I've still got the aching pain in my pelvis/pubic bone and got an ache in my lower back but nothing apart from that!

[moggi]

I think my problem is that i've had so many 'signs' for so long now and then the hospital stay and it just feels like it'll never happen if that makes sense. I think its just hormones, I've got my hospital appointment and growth scan on thurs so hopefully i'll have perked up by then. Also had letter from midwife today with my 40 wk appt (well 39+6). I fell asleep earlier on the bed and just woke up, now i feel all out of sorts, haven't had any dinner, moan moan lol. Nicola hopefully these are signs for you Leanne good luck at your appt tomorrow XxX

 

[minidancer]

Morning ladies, how are you all? Can't believe we haven't had anymore babies!!

Brandy sorry your app went so crap, hope baby arrives soon and you have a different doctor xx

Good luck at your app today Leanne.

I had my scan. Baby is estimated to be about 8lb just now and he is lying sort of side on, the consultant wasn't worried about his size or position do that's good!! She did scare the total shit out of me by phoning me after the scan asking me to go back in for another doctor to do a scan as she wasn't convinced she had checked baby's face properly! Even though she had shown me his mouth, lips and cheeks and had said that you don't usually see the face if baby is in the correct position at that stage. Had to go all the way back where another consultant spent about 20 minutes looking at his face. He concluded by saying that he couldn't see anything that would cause him concern but can't rule anything like cleft lip out!!

WTF?! I asked what the first consultant was worried about that needed a second opinion and he said that whilst doing the scan she had inadvertently started going through the anomoly list that is done at 20 weeks and afterwards wasnt satisfied she had checked everything properly. Does this sound like a proper reason? Would they lie to me or would they have to tell me of they thought there was even the slightest possibility something was wrong? Or are they just covering their own backs by double checking things in the scan that the first consultant didn't check properly? I'm surprised the worry hasnt put me in labour!!!!

 

[moggi]

I had to read that about three times to make sure I could believe what I was reading! I don't know what they are playing at but to worry you like that is absolutely unacceptable! I would imagine and hope that a cleft lip would have been quite obvious and hopefully they are just covering themselves. Reminds me of when I had my first baby and all of a sudden on a routine appointment at 37wks I ended up having ammnio etc and she supposedly had some genetic problem incompatible with life. (which was all rubbish).

I know its easy to say but try not to worry too much. I'm sure your little boy is absolutely perfect and the hospital are just being paranoid for some weird reason. They should have given you a better explanation than that though!

I can't believe we haven't had anymore babies yet either lol. I've lost what looks like more of my plug this morning AGAIN, I doubt it means anything is imminent. Got a horrible feeling i'm going to be 41+3 or 41+5 before anything happens

Suze hugs again, maybe you could ask your midwifes opinion, she might be able to shed some light on their reasons?

XxX

 

[minidancer]

Thanks Rose

I am sure everything is ok but I can't help worrying. At my 20 week scan he was looking towards my back do I had to go for a walk and go back in for him to move. When I went back he was in the perfect position to check his face and the sonographer said everything was perfect, so I would have thought anything would have shown up then. Plus the consultant said they rarely pick things up at this late stage as its so hard to see things since baby has such little room!!! I just don't understand why bother doing that when I am so close to my due date anyway! I am holding onto the hope that as professionals they would have to tell me if they even had the slightest suspicion something was wrong.

 

[moggi]

Yes I'm sure they would tell you They're probably just covering their backs.

I've got another growth scan tomorrow so god knows what conclusions they'll come to from that lol. Fingers crossed she's still following the same line

I'm off to Morrisons with my mom in a bit, really don't feel like going, got a horrible dragging feeling again in my lower back. It disappeared for a few days but now its back. The joys of the final weeks eh? lol XxX

 

[minidancer]

Good luck with your scan tomorrow Rose, let us know how it goes. Have fun at morrisons! Hope your back gets better soon, I am having back and stomach cramps too, just wish they would come to something!! xxx

 

[moggi]

Thanks

Its infuriating when they don't come to anything isn't it? Thats why I just try and ignore them but sometimes they get too much to just ignore don't they? Got those damn bh too, really don't want to go, feel like having a duvet day today lol

I'll check in later, see how everyone is XxX

 

[meganOUFC]

That would scare the crap
Out
Of me had that happened! I can't believe they done that!!! Now when u do have your baby all you are going to worry about is if he has cleft pallet!

No signs for me apart from the most painful , huge and uncomfortable cherry that appears to have sprung up from my bum!!! Yes a pile. It's been my 3rd day today and
It's worse! Doctor says its because the head is right down. She said engaged but knowing my
Luck. Come tomorrow at ante natal appointment she will have moved!!!! I'm
Not bound up or constipated
So I see no other reason for the huge growth I have! I am Infact quite loose (could be a sign).
I've been having award winning Brixton hicks too! And anyone else feel like they are walking with a melon in between their legs????
I officially said it yesterday. I've had enough!!!! Eviction time I think!!!!!!!!
