December Snowflakes 2015! Come join me 74 ladies, 10 angels, two sets of twins!

[Twinmum87]

Twin mom, your back pain looks so terrible. Hope you find some relief soon. Hope the doctor suggests something effective as the baby grows further. Tc

I just pray I am not developing sciatica. Never had such a problem. This time the bump is a bit larger than last time and I am off balance. If I bend a little bit like for cleaning bathtub, I get this catch as if some bones are locked together.

Does it feel like you back has suddenly gone stiff and weak, you have to pause mid way up then try again to stand straight kind of thing? I get this a lot but not sure if it is similar to what you are experiencing. I have no clue what it is down to, I just assumed it was down to my hyper mobility and muscle problems! I find I have to try to crouch or when my bad knee won't allow that to kneel and reach over. If I do absolutely have to bend like you describe like when cleaning the bath I sometimes try to slide myself back into a crouched position then get up from there so my back is more straight. Sorry if that makes no sense it is hard to describe lol!

Thanks, I am just about to change GP surgery and get referred to a new chronic pain clinic as the last were useless so fingers crossed! Will take a good 4 months to be seen at clinic but hopefully a new GP will do more than my old ones did!

I'm fine thanks was more chatty on this thread on first trimester but stopped posting as noone would chat to me.

Nooo! Don't feel ignored! I'm on babyandbump a lot but pop in and out of this thread without commenting all that often. For me it's nice to see everyone doing well and I ask questions when I have them....I don't always comment.

How's everything going with you? X

Yeah fine thanks, just wish i'd stop worrying. you?

I worry all the time. First I was worried about cramps. Then it was that there would be no heartbeat at the scan, then it was that there would be issues at the 20 weeks scan....now it's the fact that despite I'm feeling movement it isn't very consistent or strong and I can go for a day or so without feeling anything.

I'm a real worrier. Just really want everything to be ok.

What are you worried about? X

Just read on other forums about people that are the same amount or less weeks than me feeling hard kicks, husbands feeling movement and seeing movement and i still sometimes have to question if i felt anything. this is my 4th and with 2 and 3 felt a lot more than i am now. just gets me down. x

This is my 2nd and I'm feeling less movement than I was at this point last time. I have an anterior placenta this time though which I'm told makes a difference. Maybe you guys do too?

It can vary so much, some ladies do not start feeling movement until 22-24 weeks and that is very normal and why they only recommend we start monitoring movements from 26-28 weeks as it can still be infrequent before then. So many things can affect when and how much you feel a baby, which way baby is facing, how much fluid there is, where the placenta is, wether you have a tilted uterus, wether baby is nestled in further towards your back or right towards the front. It is much easier said than done not to worry, I still worry when I get quiet days even after getting loads of movement.

I have a posterior placenta. It's my first though so I'm not really sure what I am supposed to feel....I think it's ok for 22 weeks. Like I say....I'm just impatient to feel something significant and other half wants to feel her too!

 

[Nikie]

Thank you for your reassurances xx

 

[Iveneverseen]

Nope at 20 week scan placenta was at the side. so frustrating as always felt a lot with previous pregnancies by now.

I'm bloody pissed off with work as well. Running all the files whilst my boss is on holiday and it's so freaking stressful!

 

[joeliza24]

Twinmum87 what you described sounds incredibly painful - glad it’s eased up a bit. Have you considered seeing a chiro?

Sorry you're stressed . How many weeks until mat leave? My countdown is 10 weeks.

Ooh countdown! Good plan! It's 12 weeks.....I do love my job really but I didn't get out to lunch till 2pm and then only had 20 mins....work are being very good to me....it's the clients that aren't and I'm jealous because my hols aren't until the end of sept when I'm 29 weeks and need a letter to fly which I doubt I'll get due to history of DVT in the family! Just feeling sorry for myself!

Sounds like you have two countdowns to look forward to: mat leave and holidays! Why do you need a letter to fly?

Just came across this video and thought I'd share with all of you ladies - it's unbelievable! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXEZ6g2WLoM

 

[Twinmum87]

I have never done so far, I have seen NHS and private physios, once baby is born I am looking into a chiro that has been recommended to me by another mum to be in my area who has some of the same issues I have. Will just have to see what money is like lol! Hopefully between that and some *fingers crossed* better Dr's at the new chronic pain clinic I will be getting referred to, I might finally get somewhere.

 

[x__Hannah__x]

I must be the only person that hasn't had their anatomy scan yet. Tomorrow's the big day, hoping to find out the sex too! x

 

[Twinmum87]

Good luck for your scan, hoe you have a healthy little flasher!

 

[Iveneverseen]

hi just saw the first post.
But my due date is different lol.

My due date is 18th December (but having section at 39 weeks) and having a Girl x

 

[mazndave]

Had my scan today, stayed team yellow! All was good, although I have a low lying anterior placenta so need another scan at 32 weeks to see if it's moved or not.

 

[LillyTame]

I might be the last one having my scan...it's next Thursday.

 

[camocutie2006]
