I was considering a pregnancy pillow aswell as I just cannot sleep at night so uncomfortable and restless. I'll need to have a look at that pillow, thanks Lala!
 
Thanks for info Kate! I have my next scan at 28 weeks so I pray mine has moved as well cause I also would rather deliver naturally ! :-) time will tell

Ladies my husband got me a extra long pillow I lay kinda propped up on with one leg and then I put a regular pillow in being me and that works wonders for me :-)
 
I do the same as Love, just a regular long pillow. The nights are finally a bit cooler so I just started using my long pillow. The bed feels a lot smaller now, poor OH! ;)
 
Hi ladies!

I am back from my hols! Had a lovely time but I must say I have felt extremely tired! It is just kicking in how absolutely 'pregnant' I really am and that I can't do all the things I usually do. I'm not sure I'd travel by plane at this time again, it was uncomfortable at times. Also, my little one either loves flying or hates it - either way it certainly makes her active. She kicks me soooo much now, it's so lovely and reassuring.

I noticed you guys have been talking about stretch marks. I used to be a big girl and have a fair amount anyway from my younger years. I think I must be stretching back into my old body as so far I haven't had a single new one. I'm not too fussed though as I know I am prone to them and expect them. I'm not one to show my midriff off too much anyway and my hubby loves me stretch marks and all ;)

Grenouille - what a beautiful bump! You look lovely :)
 
Thanks Leliana!

Glad you had a nice time! I can't wait to get some days off in 2 weeks, we're just going to rent a cottage 3 hours away from here by car and relax :)

I was looking at my stretch mark this morning and I kind of like it! lol It's not huge and there's only one (for now) and it looks kind of badass, like a little scar or something. lol I sound ridiculous.
 
Leliana, glad you had a nice holiday. What was bad about the flights? I am asking as we have a short 5 day holiday booked for when I am 28 weeks and have a 3 1/2 h flight each way.
 
Lala - the biggest problem for me was simply Ryanair! The actual flight wasn't too bad although I did have back ache (Ryanair don't have lumbar support for your lower back and I felt it) however the bigger problem was queueing in the airport for long stretches, especially today in Faro airport. My legs and back hurt a LOT. As with all Ryanair flights there was a lot of pushing and shoving to board the plane and no one seemed particularly bothered that I am clearly pregnant! I found it a little difficult squeezing my bump down the aisle today and got a dirty look but that was probably a one off. I think Ryanair just bug the crap out of me lol!! Mostly it was the airport that made things difficult so my advice for you would be to take it easy and sit down where you can. If I couldn't find a chair I just sat on the floor ;)
 
We are flying Ryanair too. It was by far the cheapest option although I hate having to use them. I have a small lumbar cushion to take for the flights. The main worry I have is being allowed to board as i have heard if you look over 32 weeks they can refuse boarding even if you have all the health forms completed. I look huge already so what I will. E like in another 5 weeks is anyone's guess. DH thinks I should take my crutches with me to make sure I am able to get a seat when I need one!!
 
I wore the biggest baggiest trousers and a huge baggy t-shirt on my flight. In my normal clothes I look hugely and obviously pregnant but in baggy stuff, I merely look round lol! I was worried about being refused too as how likely is it that Ryanair staff can tell the difference? However, no one asked me about it at all. I had a letter from my doctor, plus all sorts of photocopies of maternity dates etc but never actually showed them to anyone. Be prepared but don't worry too much, if you have all the forms they cannot refuse you - it states quite clearly you can fly over 28 weeks with permission from your doctor. I was all prepared to argue my case and I am not a nice pregnant lady when I'm angry hehe ;)

I like the idea of the crutches!! I am just being moany really, I was so pleased of the break and despite Ryanair's issues they ARE the cheapest. I hope you have a lovely time hun xx
 
Since last night.. I can see my belly moving! It's so funny! I just can't wait to play with my baby and actually SEE him or her kicking! :D
 
How exciting grenouille! Congrats on reaching the 100 days to go point. Double figures from tomorrow!
 
Ooh how exciting Grenouille - can't wait for double figures myself and I'm only a day behind you :)
 
How exciting Leliana :) Its so magical, I think it really hit home for my OH that there is an actual baby in there! He had tears in his eyes, was a lovely moment :)

Have almost finished the nursery. Went to Ikea on Thursday and bought our changing table and some other bits and bobs. We have some jungle/safari stickers to put up as well but we have to wait a month for the paint to cure. Am so glad its all coming together. Not got much left to get now.

Hope everyone has a lovely w'end :)
 
Yay, very exciting Leliana! :)

I love it when OH can feel it kick, and we had a good laugh the other night when we actually saw my belly moving :)

I'm jealous that your nursery is almost done Kate! I'm a bit stressed out about ours. My dad was suppose to come here to start the floors this weekend but he can't. I can't blame him, I'm so thankful for everything he is doing... And then once that's done we also have to insulate and finish the 2 exterior walls. OH should start insulating tomorrow. Than we still have to paint, varnish the floors, decorate a bit, etc... !! We might just hire someone to do it, it could be done much sooner since my dad can only work on the weekends and I feel bad that he has so much to do.

I wanted to paint some things on the wall but I'm not sure I'll have time or feel like doing it when it's time. Now would be the best time..

Have a great weekend everyone. :)
 
Hi ladies. I haven't posted in a while. Hope everyone is doing well and growing those little miracles.

I can't believe we are all gearing up to enter third trimester.

Congrats to all the vdays and to ones that are coming up.
 
glad to see you ladies are doing well! cant help but to check you guys out!
 
Thanks FeLynn! Hope you are doing well hun! Think of you lots!

I love it when OH can feel bubs too! It has been kicking like crazy...The other night he counted and felt it move 20x in 5 minutes. It was insane. Was also a the doctors on Friday and it was kicking the doppler. We def. had a giggle about that!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!
 
Thanks ladies. It was very special! I feel her move all the time with very defined kicks but until now every time DH put his hand on my belly she stopped moving. Yesterday he felt her twice and the second time was enough for him to pull his hand away in shock lol :)

I love reading about all your nursery plans. I can't wait until we are finally moved in to a two bedroom place so we can get cracking. As we rent there's not much chance we can paint but I have seen some removable wall stickers I like in JoJoMamanBebe :)

Countdown to 3rd trimester ladies - Kate you're first!
 
Thanks Leliana, When does thrid tri actually start? Is it 27 or 28 weeks?

What everyones plans on bedding? Its going to be cold when our LOs arrive and I am very confused about what to use. I really like the look of the sleeping bags that these might be too big for a newborn. I bought a swaddle blanket from John Lewis today but its quite thin.

grenouille - Sounds like you have lots left to do sweetie :( Might be easier for someone to come and do it all for you, then you can just sit back and not worry about it. Once that is done you can start on all the fun stuff :)

Lala - Purchased a Dream Genie pillow today, just woken from a nap and its AMAZING :) Thanks for the suggestion
