Due In May :)

Hi ladies!

Math and Powell - jealous of the weight gain. I've gained about 25-30 lbs this pregnancy so far which is actually good for me as I gained 45-50 with my other two. I'm looking to only gain 5 more lbs this pregnancy, but we'll see.

My 32 week checkup was great! My OB told me I didn't have GD since I only failed once of the blood draws. He just wants me to watch my starches and sweets. So phew! Super relieved. My fundal height is measuring right on and he's not worried about baby measuring small as he knows my history and knows I have small babies even when they're full term. All in all, it was an appt filled with good news.

Now I'm waiting at my perinatologist for my growth scan. Hopefully, this little one will decide to show her face this time. We've never seen it! At my 12 week, she was too little. At 20 weeks, her umbilical cord was in front of her face. At my 28 week, we got the news she was measuring small so we didn't think to ask. She had her face covered at 30 weeks. So here we are at 32 weeks!

Math - good on you for continuing the swimming! I was running until 6 months then I fell and my OB made me stop. So then I was at the gym on the elliptical, but then got put on bedrest so it's been a long trimester of not working out. I can't wait to pop this kid out in 6-8 weeks, recover, then start again!!!

Fingers crossed that our growth scan shows more growth!!! Grow, baby, grow! xx

No need to be jealous of the weight gain, sounds like we've gained the same amount lol glad for you that you don't have GD tho!! FX'd for a cooperative baby!

What do your numbers look like in the mornings? Mine are normally around 95 give or take a few. Mine were doing pretty good when I'd eat PB and crackers but that's what I had last night and even ate it a little earlier like they suggested and it's still about the same. What snack are you going to try? I'm gonna try something different tonight, just not sure what yet lol Ooooh makes me wanna try pizza and see what happens!! lol I got a kids popcorn shrimp meal (buffaloed...yumm love buffalo sauce lol) with veggies as my side the other day and my numbers looked great afterwards! I was really excited to learn that I can eat that

cgav - hope the growth scan goes well!

My weight gain has slowed thankfully! I only want to gain another 4 pounds bringing the total to 26 pounds (currently at about 22 pounds). In theory it should just be the weight of the baby to gain now so hopefully I won't jump up much more!

Jary - my baby turned transverse, possibly breech today. Its annoying but I also use the spinning babies website and also been using my birthing ball so I'm hoping it will help.
The advice is to sit with knees lower than hips (so sofas aren't great) so that your pelvis is as open as possible so allow the baby room to sink down into your pelvis. Mine is very mobile still though as 3 days ago it was breech then it was head down the past 2 days and now its moved again!

 

[Jary]

Yeah I've looked on the spinning babies website. They had a position for breech babies which I forget the name but helps loosen the muscles at the bottom of the uterus, allowing baby more room to move down.

I've noticed now it seems the whole of the baby moves whereas before it felt like the odd limb. Really weird but nice because I can visualise an actual baby.

Belly is all over the place today!

 

[Hann12]

I was so uncomfortable yesterday afternoon/evening as the baby moved really high under my ribs. Was pretty horrible as felt like I couldn't breath properly. Thankfully it's dropped lower again over night. Annoyingly it's on my right not left (optimal) so got to try and change that over the coming weeks. Hoping the birthing ball will help with that!
Can't wait for the weekend, really tired!!

 

[Hann12]

Oh just seen I'm 33 weeks today. Only 7ish to go....

 

[Jary]

Happy 33 weeks!

Lol I feel baby's head under my ribs and I keep wondering how far he or she will stretch. It's almost like baby wants to break out!

I can't feel the head today but on the other side of my belly I prodded some part of baby and it moved. No idea what part it is tho!

It's getting so close now and really want to meet our son or daughter... I'm even getting to the point where I don't feel as bothered if I need a c section because it'll still mean I get to see our baby! (Although the thought is still a little bit terrifying!)

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Happy 33 weeks Jary!!

I've been quite lucky to not have things digging in the ribs this time my bump has ALWAYS been low this time, everyone always comments on how low it is! I have a feeling it's to do with my SPD though, I think my pelvis has seperated so much that baby's head is already engaged. Think I might ask at my check on Monday.

Jary it may be a bum ... I thought bubs had moved breech as I felt somethingg really hard on the right the other week but just turns out he's got a hard bum

I can't believe we'e all on the home stretch! We will have baby's soon!! EEKK X

 

[Jary]

Oh I'm not 33 weeks yet! Was wishing Hann happy 33 weeks

I listened to the Doppler earlier to try guess where baby was but I heard it on the opposite side to where the 'head' is. When mw listened to it the other day it was where the head was so now I'm totally confused. This baby really is a trouble maker! Keeping me in dark about where he or she is hiding lol

It's defo running out of room now tho. Getting prodded all over ahh ladies where has the time gone! Before we know it we'll be saying things like 'I'm going into labour!' Or 'we are having baby today!' Etc

Scary but exciting times

 

[Hann12]

Definitely very exciting!

Jary now that the time is closer are you more and more intrigued by what gender it will be? I really am now, up until this point I wasn't really even thinking about it but now I can't stop thinking about it! I think it's because I can't imagine the baby as I don't know what it will be! I still don't care either way but I just have no strong vibes in either direction so it's going to be a massive surprise. Not long anyway!! Although I'm technically due on the 9th I know by ovulation my dd is 16th but I'll get a sweep on 13th so I think I'll give birth on 14th. Obviously could go way over that though!! In my head its the 14th though lol

 

[Jary]

I am defo more eager to find out the sex! Especially now that the baby is more baby like and that we are in the last stretch.

I reckon your baby will be here before the 14th! My boss keeps saying she thinks I'm gonna have this baby before I expect it to lol. As long as he or she is back in vertex position by that time!

 

[Hann12]

I kind of hope its not here before the 9th as I won't have my
Parents here to look after Annabelle before that so we'll have a childcare crisis! Plus on the 11-12th there is rugby at twickenham which means awful traffic for us to get stuck in on the way to the hospital so I could end up giving birth in the car! Nope give me the 14th please lol!!

 

[Jary]

Haha ok well I'll keep my FX'd for the 14th for you!

 

[Hann12]

Lol thanks! Can you imagine giving birth stuck in the car with a load of rugby supporters watching from the next car - what a horror story! Oh and our car is new with a cream interior!!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Fingers crossed for the 14th Hann

Oh baby brain strikes again, sorry Jary x

 

[Sass827]

Maybe you could get the rugby team to lift the car through the traffic?
At my university (a million years ago) the rugby team was the biggest, strongest, craziest group of Guys in the whole school. I could totally see them carrying a car a few miles.

 

[Hann12]

Lol Sass!! Hopefully it won't happen!

Feeling massive this afternoon right under my chest, like my bra has suddenly got too tight and is restricting me. Quite scary to think that the baby has another 4 weeks where it's going to put on 0.5 pounds a week then a bit more between 37-40, I'm going to feel really uncomfy soon I think!!

 

[pinktiara]

I feel like this whole pregnancy went so fast now the last almost 6 weeks and its slowed to a hault haha. I get my actual date april 16th thank goodness and I will have a baby boy before mothers day woo!!
