Justkeep, I asked the doctor if there are chances that the baby will move and she said it's not likely (although not impossible), as the space is getting pretty tight in there. So hopefully our babies stay head down :)
 
Hope all you ladies are doing well in your pregnancies!!!!
 
Thanks Felynn :) Hope you are doing well.

Is anybody else having trouble sleeping?? I couldn't sleep between 2AM and 6AM last night :(
All sorts of reason - I have this muscle pain in my upper belly due to sitting all day (I have big boobs so I'm sure that doesn't help). After trying to sit straight all day it really hurst bellow my breast and above my belly because of all the weight. When I get home I sit in a rocker or lie down and it usually goes away after a while.. but last night it wouldn't go away. Because of this pain I don't get to exercise like I should because I get exhausted so that surely doesn't help either. :nope:

And I had to pee like 3 times.

And after a while I got hungry..!

And the baby was moving A LOT. I'm always excited when it does and I wouldn't complain about it, but it doesn't help sleeping!

I thought the sleeping troubles would come later.. can't believe I'm already there. How am I going to manage to stay awake now and get some exercise? Anybody else?
 
Greenouille, Im the same. I keep getting a burning sensatiion pain where you described above my stomach just below my breasts. It feels like everything is so tight in there now and I have no idea how this baby can grow for another 8 weeks!
I also suffer badly from insomnia, I tossed and turned from 4-6am this morning, theres nothing worse is there.
Im thinking its normal though as we're all creeping up on the 32 week mark and I think this is when things start to get really uncomfortable..sigh!!

Felynn, thanks for asking after us, I hope your doing ok? x
 
I can't remember the last time I got a good nights sleep. And I think part of it is my bladder thinks night is the only time to pee!
Things are going well, I have gained back the 13lbs I lost at my apt yesterday, not bad for 30wks, thats not a lot of weight gain. There is a concern about my fundal measurements, So I go in for my 7th ultrasound on the 17th. I measured 41wks yesterday. I feel massive and so uncomfortable all the time, ready to be done!!! 9more weeks, at most
 
MommaDucky, lucky you that you've only gained 13lbs! I wish I could say the same, I started off at about 9 and a half stone and now Im 12 stone, so about 2 1/2 stone in total. Im a bit down about it but at the same time all that matters is that the baby is measuring well. At my 30 week growth scan the baby weighed about 4lbs which seems good as a lot of babies are normally about 3lbs at that point.

That is strange that your fundal height measures 41 weeks, jeezo. So is it a growth scan that you are going for? I have my next growth scan in two weeks time at 34 weeks! Ive never had my fundal height measured.

What is everyone else's weight gain like? Just out of curiousity?
 
I'm not sure what kind of scan, they will check his growth and the fluid levels. I'm having trouble eating I'm so big, couple bites and nothing else fits.
 
Does my weight gain count? I mean I'm at prepregnancy weight now lol. So I haven't gained anything from my starting point lol. I'm very happy I'm gaining so slow, I gained 50lbs with my daughter!
 
So I'm not the only one! That makes me feel better. In only a few weeks it will all be over for us :) Whenever I feel like complaining I just think about that baby and how badly I want it! If it wasn't for the fact that I have to work, I wouldn't complain :P

Mommaducky, you measured 41 wks??
 
yep 41wks. How the hell I have no idea! I'm not a happy person right now, very uncomfortable. I got home and told hubby now we know why I'm such a mess and I have EVERY right to complain as much as I want right now! lol
 
Oh wow... I thought you made a typo and meant 31 wks. That must be really uncomfortable, you sure have every right to complain!
 
I wish it was a typo. No I'm in so much pain its not even funny. I just went and had a busy day and went to the grocery and I just want to go to bed. I'm feeling so bad for my almost 3yr old. I'm really wishing we had ppl close who could lend a hand.
 
MommaDucky, so sorry about the pain! Maybe baby is a little further than they thought and you won't have to go through 9 whole weeks more! Hope you get a little relief :hugs:

I seem to have been really busy lately, but in truth I think it's more like normal amounts of busy that just wear me out more now. Like others have posted, I really don't sleep much these days. Got up at 5am the other day just because I was tired of laying there awake. But the good thing is I have adjusted to it somewhat, so even when I don't sleep well I seem to be able to get through the next day ok. Guess it's good practice...

As of my appt. this past Weds. I have gained 18lbs. which seems to be on target. I have a little to spare in the first place so I was hoping not to add on too much!

I am also really feeling consumed by the feeling that this baby will come any day now. Had a little pink spotting after intercourse a few days ago, which I know is normal, but now I can't shake the feeling that I am starting to lose my mucous plug (even though it has since stopped). It's like my worry of finding blood has been replaced by the worry of my water breaking now. I spoke to my midwife about it and she thinks it's because I am really anxious to have the baby at the birth center and not the hospital (due to previous bad hospital experiences, and I REALLY want a water birth). If I go into labor before 37 weeks, I will have to go to the hospital as the baby won't be considered "term" yet. So I will be holding my breath for the next 6 weeks!

Whose babies have turned head down? Mine still seems to be sideways. I know she still has a few weeks to turn but that's another fear in the back of my mind, that she will be breech (another reason that would prevent me delivering at the birth center)...

Hope everyone is doing well :)
 
I've had six scans, so pretty sure I'm on track, if anything I'm due just a couple days sooner, but nothing more.

Gosh I am feeling like I need to be prepping things NOW tho! The urge is so strong its getting harder and harder to fight lol.

Baby is still all over, I had kicks around my belly button earlier, then in my left ribs, then down. He's flipping around pretty freely still.
 
Maybe there's two and they just couldn't see the second?

Happened to my huband's aunt. She gave birth on valentines day to what she thought was only going to be ONE baby. But sure enough there were two baby boys and the second one was hiding behind the first in all of the scans!

How are you ladies doing? I think I'm officially in my tww! Hoping that I get a :bfp: !
 
Crystal, that's crazy! What a surprise!

Hope you get your BFP very soon!! Let us know :)

Crancherry, like you said there's still time for her to turn around. Try not to stress about it too much. I hope you get to deliver at the birth center like you wish :)

I had my baby shower today! It was a lot of fun. We got really spoiled and have pretty much everything we need. My parents had already purchased the crib (which is now in the middle of the living room FILLED with gifts), and also got a car seat and a stroller, which I was thinking of buying *if* we got enough money as gifts. We also got tons of money and gift certificates so that's really nice and will do for whatever bits and bobs we'll need in the future as I don't even know what we're missing right now... I'll probaby just put it away for now and use it for random things we'll need once the baby is here. I'm so exhausted now...! I should sleep really well tonight.
 
OH GOSH I hope there are not two! WOW I would be stunned! I don't know how we would afford three in daycare....OUCH!
 
Three in daycare?? At that point you hire a nanny. It's cheaper.
