Lovely pics Powell! A nice idea for Easter

We want to do a photo shoot and I was thinking of a combined bump and baby shoot so we can have a 'before' and 'after' pic.

Urgh, I had such a stuffy nose last night so I blew it and it was really bloody. I know it's common in pregnancy but I probably looked awful after my shift anyway and didn't want to add extra ick for OH to see lol.

Ahh little legs is awake now. He or she is really lazy in the mornings lol

 

[Hann12]

Yay for finishing work Jary! I get loads of blood when I blow too - my nose feels permanently stuffy to the point I don't even breath out of it at night. Makes doing my hypnobirthing exercises hard!

Powell - fab photos!

Just had my 34 week appointment, measuring 2 weeks behind, blood pressure good at 92/58 and baby is 3/5 engaged!! Wasn't expecting it to be that engaged at this stage but that's good I guess! She said that she detected a level of protein in my urine but she was sure it was fine so she didn't even write it on my notes, have another appointment in 2 weeks though so hopefully it will be gone then! Weird she wasn't bothered but maybe it's because the level was so small and my blood pressure so good?! Who knows! Either way its all looking good for now and on schedule! I've got my 40 week sweep booked in for 14th may so that might get things moving.
We have babies next month!!

 

[Jary]

Glad all is well Hann! I think your baby will be earlier than the 14th I'd love for my mw to say at the next app that baby is head down and at least partly engaged. But that's probably asking too much. I still can't tell whether I'm feeling a bum or a head lol

OMG I know! I was saying to OH 'we're gonna be parents next month!...ahhhh!' Lol

 

[Jary]

As for the protein in your urine, I had some in mine at 29 weeks but none by 32, but according to a doctor I spoke to, it's common for pregnant women to have leukocytes and protein in their urine and it isn't a problem. I'm sure all is ok!

 

[Sass827]

I'm just happy they are measuring you now Hann! About time!

 

[Hann12]

Thanks girls! That's good to know about the proteins too. Yes it was nice to be measured finally - though not sure she did it right - I thought it was from top of pelvic bone but she measured about half way into my pelvic bone - almost in my girlie parts!! Anyone had that?!
This baby is not allowed to come before 9th lol!

 

[Powell130]

Dr appointment went good today! They're putting me on meds (thank goodness not insulin injections!) too help keep my sugars in check so I can eat more since I've only gained 7 lbs since January :/ But I'm okay with the meds, cuz I'll be able to eat more
Baby Boy is about 5 lbs. Every measurement was within average, doc said that he couldn't be more average if he tried...cept for his head...95th percentile! lol gonna have a big ass head thanx to my side of the family haha I go back next Tuesday to see the MW and on the 29th for my next growth scan. I guess they're putting me on weekly appointments sooner since I'm "high risk" cuz of the GD, but I'd rather be monitored more rather than less.

 

[mathgenius33]

Lucky, your baby is only 5 pounds. Mine is about 6 pounds now, but they say she's only slightly above average in weight. It's not too comfortable to get out of bed or to walk. DH keeps telling the baby that Mommy is only 5'3", so the baby goes easy on me. It's not really working. Now he's starting to tell the baby that she'll be tall like Daddy, but I tell him there's no way of knowing that yet.

That Easter egg tummy is pretty cool. Yesterday the neighbor's 2-year-old was hunting for eggs and his mom asked me if I was gonna paint my bump as an Easter egg. I thought she was joking, but I guess you just proved people do that. Now I kind of wish I had.

 

[Powell130]

How far along are you now? Im super uncomfortable lol but I'm only 5ft so you probably have a little more room in your torso than i do lol i feel like i should win an Olympic medal every time a manage to get up without assistance from hubs lmao
When my friend mentioned the idea of painting our bellies i hasn't heard of it but immediately feel in love with the idea. I love cheesy stuff like that lol we also hid milk bones around her yard for our dogs to find since we don't have babies yet. Guess we'll be hiding bones and eggs next year or husbands were making fun of us the whole day, even while painting our bellies, even tho i think they eventually got into it but didn't want us to know that lol it was so much fun

 

[nearlythere38]

Love the scan pics Powell. They are so clear!!

Happy 34 weeks buddies

 

[Hann12]

I think I'm less unconfortable because I'm 5ft 9 I don't have a very long body but clearly it's longer than you girls. Most babies are around the same length when born (18-22cm) it's just the padding that makes a difference. I have not a clue what this one is measuring at but as there's nothing I can do about it I am living in blissful ignorance quite happily!
I wouldn't worry about the baby being too big though as they say that you only get what you can comfortably birth - and the scans can be very out! Remember I was told my DD was going to be 7 pounds 10 and she was 5 pounds 15. Quite a difference so try not to worry. It's hard I know as I also panicked the first time around, still waver this time too lol!

 

[Jary]

Happy 34 weeks! 6 weeks to go! Lovely baby pics Powell he's gonna be such a cutie!

I'm wondering how much my baby is measuring...I see me tomorrow so ill see what she puts on the chart and then I can work it out.

Hb is still above my belly button so my little tinker is still bum first lol. My OHs mum seems to think baby won't turn as my bump is pretty much all baby...it's all at the front. OH did say I don't look pregnant from the back lol.

Had a rubbish night of leg cramp and needing the loo lots, and when I finally got comfy baby decided it was wiggle time!

 

[Hann12]

I'm the same Jary all bump and can't tell from the back. Mine was breech last week and still turned. 95% turn so you'd have to be very unlucky for it not to turn

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Happy 34 weeks to those today ... I'm 35 today!! Only 3 weeks until induction ... possibly 2 ... this is getting scary now

I'm the same everyone says I am all bump and you can't tell from the back ... apart from the pregnancy waddle I've had since 20 weeks

I finished packing baby's bag last night so his bag is completely sorted. I got some new PJ's to go in my bag last night, I've packed my breast pads, maternity pads, underwear, face wipes, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, towel, PJ's. I need to wash my dressing gown and slippers then put them in and put some clean clothes in too. I will put my make up and rest of the toiletries in the day I go ... eeekk!

Hopefully baby decides to turn soon, when do you see the MW again Jary? I think last night was a bad night for everyone I know I didn't sleep well either and I've been up since 4am X

 

[Jary]

Girls you give me hope that baby will turn!

I'm seeing midwife tomorrow...since baby is still breech she will probably put me in for moxibustion classes. I'm actually quite curious about it!

Miss mummy moo you've made me want to get my bag all packed! I keep looking at the Moses basket (which has some of baby's clothes) and thinking 'there's gonna be a baby in there soon!' Ahh just wait until we get the cot set up..ill go all dreamy imagining our bean in there too

Just curious as well Powell, I think a couple of girls from the 'testing calendar' thread have gotten BFPs (forget who :/) but wondered if you had heard of any of the others getting one? I went over there in feb but the threads gone quiet since then hope they all get one, I know some have been trying for a while now so I'm totally rooting for them!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

The class does sounds interesting Jary!

We've had the moses basket set up for a couple of weeks now. I got the nursery sorted the other week and I keep going in and getting all dreamy too It's so scary to think that in 2/3 weeks there will be a baby in there x

 

[Sass827]

Happy 34's and 35's! I'm 35 tomorrow! Stoked!
I'm just like Powell though- very are to stand up without help. Feeling really handicapped these days and its bumming me out. I really value being independent and doing my share around the house (if not more as DH works 60-80 hours per week out of the hOuse) and I'm just not able. My feet turn purple and I get bh if I'm on my feet for 45 minutes straight. How do other people do this? I feel like I'm falling apart!

 

[Sass827]

Have you been doing inversions Jary?

 

[nearlythere38]

Ive not had any probs with my feet. Fingers have started swelling tho so Ive taken my rings off now. Also Im getting numb arms when i wake up on a morning. Cant wait to sleep on my tummy again
