I had a scan this morning at 25 weeks - estimate weight 740 grams! YAAAY! he/she already weighs more than my first son did at birth! He was 570 grams, at 27 weeks. So this pregnancy is definitely going better! I was sooo happy when I heart that number my eyes teared up. I guess it was a mental hurdle for me to reach and pass that weight. Next big step is to reach (and pass) 27 weeks. I'm pretty sure I'll cry again that day.

I thought I was 100% over that nightmare - it was three years ago after all - but it`s crazy how little things trigger memories and emotions.

03rd December - maymyamay

Welcome We share the same due date. Only 79 days to go, yikes! Hope you're keeping well.

How is everyone getting on?

DH & I are having a completely lazy Sunday, still in pjs at 4.30pm! It's windy & wet outside, we have a roaring fire and a DVD boxset on the go, heaven! We reckon we're right to enjoy a few of these pyjama days as hopefully in a few months they will be only a memory we reminisce about!

 

[August3]

Wow, this thread had been super quiet!

How's everyone doing?

 

[Suzy_Q]

I'm getting sick of waiting but then, am trying to enjoy my alone time while I have it. I'm just glad I can't control time!

I have a rash but found out yesterday it is NOT PUPPS! Yay! Now if I can just figure out how to get rid of it. I also have my first stretch mark but at least now I won't spend my time hoping I don't get any to only be disappointed later. I can work on accepting that yes, I have them so work on moving on

I also would like to go shopping for baby stuff but feel I should wait until after my baby shower. So now, I'm waiting again

How is everyone else doing?

 

[August3]

Hey Suzy_Q, I'm with you on the enjoying 'alone time' but since returning to work time is racing. Glad to hear that you don't have PUPPS. Hopefully the rash will clear up soon. I have discovered a few stretch marks on my boobs and I seem to have developed carpal tunnel in my right hand and sleeping badly as a result. Going to try a wrist brace tonight to see if it helps.

We haven't bought anything yet. I have a week off at the end of October so will pack hospital bags then. We went looking at travel systems today and my head is fried! The Uppababy Vista seems to be coming out on top so far. We haven't seen a Bugaboo yet but the decision will have to made by end of next weekend to allow time for them to be ordered in. Has anyone else bought a travel system yet?

Hi August3,

I have brought and set up my cotbed and picking up a travel system this weekend getting the Jane Slalom Pro Pushchair, plus Rebel Pro Baby Carrier and Carrycot.
Not too long now ladies.. hoping it will fly by..

 

[August3]

You're super organised, Alison69. We ordered our travel system yesterday,the Uppababy vista, it's the only thing we have bought so far.

I went on a tour of the maternity unit last week and it is now all very real - just under 60 days till due date. The midwife doing the tour was excellent and very willing to answer questions.

Anyone else feel their little one wriggling and squirming more than kicking? My wee one seems to be always rolling about and making my bump ripple.

Hi Ladies, I am due December 17th but have a sneaking suspicion I will not make it that long.

hi August3,

my little one doesnt seem to stop moving the last fews days, getting kicks, turns and like its jumping in there,
I am also feeling very uncomfortable and unable to sleep properly, as unable to turn over in bed without my pelvic bone making a cracking noise and pain. also unable to lay on my left side for too long without getting a dead leg grrrrr. then its the toilet breaks through the nite..
Oh how I love being Pregnant LOL.

 

[August3]

Alison69, I hear you. Sleep, what's that?!! Between carpal tunnel, heartburn and toilet trips my sleep is very broken. Turning over in bed is like lugging a sack of potatoes with me.

Any chance physio or a support belt would help you with the pelvic pain?

I had my 32 week appointment today. Wee one is measuring fine and consultant was happy with everything. Nice to see parts of her on the scan!

Welcome, Wantabelly!

Hi august3

Yeah I brought a support belt but hasn't helped, my doctors aren't the brilliant I am afraid.

Glad your 32 week check went ok and sorry your suffering like me with heartburn etc I got my GTT this Friday up the hospital.

This is tmi but everytime I eat anything and i do seem to be hungry all the time but I am having to go to the toilet number 2 lol, as my stomach cramps about 4 or 5 times a day now, it's starting to make me feel unwell, just wondered if anyone else gets this.
Did read it could be prenatal vitamins that's causing me to go so much, but only seems to have started few days ago.

Hello, just checking in! 30 weeks now YAY. So glad to have made it this far. I first told my boss I would work until early december. Then I said mid november. Now I'm thinking early november. I'm just so tiiiiiired all the time, I put my 3 year old to bed at 8 and sometimes fall asleep too and still manage to miss my 7am alarm!

Lucky you, Alison69. I don't finish till November 22nd ........if I can keep going.
Going to physio this afternoon to be assessed for splints for carpal tunnel.
I need something at this stage. It's driving me nuts at night.

Hi ladies, just turned 35 so mind if I join you?
I'm due xmas day! So far the pregnancy has been straightforward medically speaking (which I am thankful for), apart from a low placenta which needs checking again at 36 weeks, but I have found it tough psychically. Maternity leave starts on 11th Nov and I cannot wait! Soooo tired. And the heartburn is terrible isn't it!

Hope you ladies are all doing well.
