Due In May :)

[MissMummyMoo]

I haven't been able to do any housework that requires bending/being on the floor since 20 weeks due to my SPD My hubby is the same he works 40 hours a week and I feel awful that he has to bath the kids, hoover and mop as I just can't bend Just keep thinking that it's only for a couple of weeks

Had my scan again today, fluid has gone up it's gone from 6.6 to 9.5 but it's still being classed as low. I have an appointment with my consultant next Monday and we will hopefully get an induction date x

 

[Jary]

Yes! I've been doing inversions and pelvic tilts.

On another note, I'm totally gutted, took my car in for an MOT and knew there were some things up with it but its turned out that its going to cost over £800 for the repairs and that's not including the things I knew about. So because its probably more than the car is worth, I'm going to have to get rid of it. So I'm left without a car. I did want to buy a newer one but not yet! I know I don't need one and I can borrow OHs car but its not the same! I need that independence and I like the thought of owning my own car.

things like this always happen at the worst time!

Jary- i know a few people that got their BFP but I can't remember who either! lol I'm happy for them all tho! Just wish I could remember who lol

I'mm very happy with baby's estimated size since doc said "he couldn't be more average if he tried" and i kinda knew he was going to have a big head since it runs on my side of the family and hubs' head isn't small lol but it's definitely possible to have a baby that's too big for your body to birth...my brother being a perfect example, doc had to push him back in while he was crowning and send my mom for a c section because his shoulders wouldn't fit. :/

my friends baby is 17in 5.17 lbs and i put her up to my belly yesterday for comparison (before i went to the doc) not knowing that it was actually fairily accurate lol i was like...would you fit in here? lol

 

[Sass827]

I miss sleeping on my belly too! I feel like my shoulders and hips are taking a beating.
Hope you get your date soon mummy! We don't have too much time left!
Jary- sucks about your car. My inspection is up this month too.it always winds up costing so much!
Powell- I hear them say "the baby s too big to come out" all the time on a baby story. Usually when the baby won't drop I think. But many other people say bigger babies are just easier to deliver. Everyone's different I guess. And just because it happened to your mom doesn't mean it will happen to you.

 

[Jary]

Does anyone think its possible to feel baby sucking his or her thumb? I've had my hand over baby's head and could feel it going up and down and the rhythm made me think of thumb sucking lol.

 

[Jary]

Midwife has just been and baby is head down! I could have sworn I was feeling head up top but it turns out he or she must just have a firm bum and likes to wriggle it about lots lol. Mw has written in my notes that baby is 3/5ths engaged. So pleased!

She didn't measure me but has still wrote down 33.5cm as the fundal hight. She went through birth plan with me too and talked about what's available at the birthing suite and the delivery suite. Really REALLY hope that baby decides to stay put from this point

 

[Hann12]

Thats great news Jary! Means all the exercises etc did help. Fundal height sounds good too!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

That's great news Jary!! Well done bubs! X

 

[Jary]

They must have. I reckon baby must has flipped in my sleep because I haven't felt anything that would make me think it was a flip.

I'm trying not become too relaxed because I'm half expecting breech again at next appointment. It probably won't but I do have a little trouble maker in my belly!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

just try and enjoy the rest of the pregnancy now I think most of us have trouble makers in there

Have you got any plans for maternity leave Jary? x

 

[Jary]

When I'm not in pain I love being pregnant! Hehe.

Well I have lots to get on with at home in preparation for baby. Other than that ill chill out until baby is here. Plan on going back to work in January but will need to pop into work to see my boss at a later date to organise a specific date.

I'm kinda still thinking I have to go to work lol. Hasn't sunk in yet!

Are you just chilling? Or as much as you can anyway...I'm sure your other little ones keep you busy!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

I'm the same as long as I'm not in pain I love it!

I'm going back to work in January too ... it seems so long away yet I bet it will fly by! Relaxing sounds like a plan ... you won't be able to do much of that when bubs is here

I'm trying to chill as much as I can as well as keeping the kids entertained Monday hubby was off so we went shopping and the kids played in the garden on the afternoon, yesterday they went to grandmas, today we went to soft play now they're playing in their room, tomorrow we're having a PJ day but my friend's are coming over with their LO's so the kids will have some friend's to play with, Fri hubby is off so we're taking the kids to the cinema and to Frankie and Benny's then we will pop to Toys R Us to get baby's cot mobile and the last roll of border It's actually a pretty busy week but I do relax as much as possible on a evening ... at least I try.

Hubby done some bump photos last night I'll post a few when he's edited them x

 

[Hann12]

Sounds like a busy week! I've had DH off too but he's back to work tomorrow which is sad. Back to normality for us although no classes for another week and a half so it's bound to be a bit slower because of less activities.

I agree with missmummymoo - enjoy what you have left of the pregnancy. No reason to think your baby won't stay in position now and actually as a first timer it would be very very unusual for a baby to be 3/5 engaged and be able to move out of that position. It can happen to 2nd+ timers as the pelvis is bigger and muscles less tight but not to a first timer. I think you can relax now that your baby is in optimal position

 

[Jary]

Thank you! I know babies can disengage but I don't mind as long as baby is in head down position.

Just had a nice bath cause all afternoon I've had really bad pain in my lower back/pelvis. Almost like sciatic pain....the kind that makes you take in a sharp breath when you stand up. Still hurts a bit now but the bath was lovely!

 

[pinktiara]

My 3 year old had a fever of 101 the other day so hes finally just getting better but now I seem to have gotten sick of course Plus I run a home business of decorated cookies so I have hours of work to do and no motivation ugh

 

[Sass827]

Just do your excersizes Jary. They say it makes the bottom of your uterus a more pleasant place to be lol. Sure baby will sTay head down.
Sorry carter is sick! All of my nephews have the flu! No fun!

 

[mathgenius33]

Powell, you had asked me a while back how far along I am, so today it's 34 weeks 5 days. My due date is May 11th. That's the one they gave me at the 7 week scan, so they said that's the most accurate estimate.

I didn't know it was possible, but it seems like my problem with always having to use the restroom is getting worse these days. Basically, I always feel like I need to go, even if I just went sometimes. My baby is getting so big that when she moves one part of her body, I can feel the entire baby moving, and usually that's when I feel the urgency to go. My only other main complaint is that my feet hurt each day after work, but I think I'll survive that. Just 4 weeks of work left after this week!

 

[Jary]

Wow math you're brave working that long! I feel whole baby move too and I think when head pressed down on my bladder it really does make you need to pee!

Is baby engaged? I think since mine has I've needed the loo more during the night...usually once early morning but its at least twice now.

AFM I'm looking into getting a new (used) car. I can't help but feel bad about it even tho I know I can afford it but I'm like 'what about baby?' Tho I think he or she will like car journeys as I get little wriggles when I drive

Been clearing out our bedroom to make space for the cot bed I fonnalg got round to ordering a wardrobe but it isn't getting delivered until 3rd may! Hopefully baby won't be early and arrive on that day lol. It's knackering me out tho had to have a nap earlier as felt faint. It's getting exciting tho, all this sorting is because of baby. Roll on 14th May! (Or thereabouts)

You're just a few days ahead of me I'm due the 14th. My perinatologist also said that my early ultrasounds (5w2d & 6w2d) are more accurate than 12 weeks (i didn't have one then, but looks like i really didnt need it if the early ones are more accurate!)
I have the same issue you do!! I get up at least 5x a night to go pee lol sometimes 10 minutes later. I still don't know how that's physically possible but apparently it is! lol ugh I know what you mean about being able to feel the whole baby move. I'll rub his feet in an attempt to get them out of my ribs, and feel some other body part hitting me in the hip bone! Bleh

 

[Hann12]

I'm the same Powell, I get foot in rib then move for only to feel something else on the other side of me! No idea what though guessing hands unless its got its legs open lol!

Sounds like we are all getting our baby stuff ready! It's getting exciting to see who will go first and looking forward to hearing all the birth announcements! Not long!!
