Due In May :)

[Powell130]

I get head butts to the cervix all the time and it feels like I'm being stabbed - I wonder if that's what you ladies are feeling? I had to ask my MW about it and she giggled at me when I was explaining it to her haha

 

[pinktiara]

Masons butt is always pressed up against my stomach so uncomfortable lol and than the constant jabs by my hips

 

[Jary]

Lol I know what you mean Powell, sometimes the pain from head butting is awful! I had it this morning when baby was having a stretch. The other day I could only describe the head butting as a sucker punch in the cervix!

 

[Powell130]

It's awful lol i have a short torso so I'll get a head butt to the cervix, punches to the hips, and a bum trying to come up over my Ribs while getting little kicks in the side - all at the same time lol makes me cringe it hurts so bad

 

[Sass827]

Short torso here too. Same stuff. Sometimes it feels like she's trying to burrow out my right side and that really hurts.

 

[pinktiara]

I am assuming I have another long legged baby like me and my son im a 36 inseam 5 foot 9 and my son is all leg too poor kid haha I was awake at 4am with Masons feet up in my ribs and sticking his butt right out. I had to move around for him to wake up and move ugh the cat looked at me like a crazy person lol

 

[Hann12]

Mine is head butting my cervix but feet under my ribs too. I think we just are running out of space now! Good thing we don't have long left! 3 more weekends probably for me (one of which being a bank holiday so that's good! Finished washing baby clothes today although mysteriously we have mislaid all our baby bibs and socks etc so got to buy new of them. Goodness knows where they have gone!
Got the carseat out of the loft and the Moses basket stand so officially ready. Getting exciting. Just need to hope my back doesn't cause me any more pain than it already is, really want to do a natural birth!!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Hopefully not long now Hann

Just wanted to say I hope to catch up with you guys properly tomorrow or Tuesday it's a little hectic here at the moment x

 

[Jary]

I'm sure you are very busy Miss Mummy Moo! Can't wait to see pics but we know you have your hands full so don't worry!

I'm gonna have to do more baby clothes washing today as I've got all that stuff from baby shower. Yesterday we saw OH's old work friends and they bought a little gift of bodysuits and 'snuggle bunny' bedtime book that comes with a little bunny. So cute!

 

[Hann12]

That sounds like some nice presents Jary. I also washed some baby clothes and had them on the line yesterday which was good.

Off to the doctors at 5.30, getting them to check the babys position after having some big movements last night then this morning feeling hiccups high up. Really hoping the baby hasn't turned and that I'm just being a paranoid fool lol! I have my osteopathy appointment straight after which is good as in need of more being done to my back really.

Hope everyone else is doing okay?

 

[Jary]

Hann I hope baby hasn't moved either! Not long left so he or she needs to stay put! Keeping fxd for you! As for the hiccoughs I do feel the strongest part bottom left (usually as baby is on that side most of the time) however I do feel them higher up and I know baby hasn't moved. So they could just be really strong...mines has strong ones today!

Hips are more achey today. Usually once I'm up out of bed my hips are ok but today they have hurt more and at times feeling more pressure down below so I'm hoping it means baby has moved down a bit more, but maybe I'm just being hopeful. Mind, I did actually feel what I assume was the head moving about as if baby was stretching its neck out. Weird feeling! Also felt very tired today so went for an hours sleep this afternoon! There's been lots more practice breathing too so I'm hoping its because baby is nearly done cooking. Probs not but one has to be hopeful!!

 

[Hann12]

That's interesting to know about the hiccups thanks Jary. I hope you're right. I can't do much of the stuff on spinning babies but I have been trying a few things and I have felt some big movement so hoping it meants the baby has moved back.

And you should be hopeful - whether its coming out this week or in 3.5 weeks that's nothing compared to what you have already done - we are almost there!

 

[Jary]

So true! I always find tho that whatever I'm waiting for seems to take longer the nearer it gets. I suppose that's the anticipation tho. Got my final lot of baby stuff washed and sorted out our kitchen plus washed most of our clothes. Just need to wash a duvet cover and do a hand wash cycle on the rest. But I'll do that tomorrow!

Pleased that from tomorrow baby will be classed as full term really makes it real that I'm in the very final leg of this pregnancy

 

[MissMummyMoo]

How did your appointment go Hann? I felt hiccups high with little man just last week but he was still head down ... I think it was just that he had so little room he seemed to have them in his bum too

So your nearly all sorted Jary? That's great! I loved washing all little mans clothes ... now I never stop washing I've done 3 loads of washing since we came home on Saturday bearing in mind I done all the washing on Wednesday before I went into hospital

How is everyone else?

Things are settling a little here! Noah is a little gem we are still in shock that he's acutally here Here's a a couple of pics:

Omg he's so cute!!!!

 

[Jary]

He's so sweet Miss Mummy Moo! Lovely set of hair

How is he sleeping and feeding? He looks very content!

 

[Hann12]

He's so cute missmummymoo!

The baby moved before the appointment! It was sore and I don't think it's moved completely head down but it's definitely more head down than before, I didn't go to the doctors because my doctor isn't very nice and I knew that if I turned up and it had moved then she would be a bit of a cow about it so I decided to leave it and hope that it moves down properly in the next week when I have my scheduled appointment with her. I know that probably sounds weird but I hate the thought of looking like I'm being a paranoid pregnant lady and I know she would make me feel like that! I had my osteopath appointment though which was okay, all strapped up again.
My dads coming to stay to help tomorrow until fri morning which is great, then on Sunday my mum is coming Sun - thurs so again more help. They then both come on the 7th until I give birth. Normally time goes slow for me too but because I've now got chunks of time sectioned off so I think it might go reasonably quickly. I'd like it to anyway! Just keep telling myself that its only 2.5-3.5 weeks to go so I just have to be patient!

 

[Jary]

Glad baby has turned Hann! I hate doctors like that. I've been to see them in the past genuinely concerned about something and they just make it out like I'm being silly. I remember that whenever I mentioned I was a student nurse their attitude changed and would pretty much suggest I was imagining it. That's why I've much preferred seeing a nurse practitioner.

It's nice to have family near my mum and gran are both here the week baby is due and I'm really pleased they will be around.


Went shopping and bought maternity pads and breast pads...sainsburys own cheap and cheerful. So that's my bag done! If I need anything else I can just get OH to bring it to the hospital (obvs after baby is born and not before lol)

 

[nearlythere38]

Awwww missmummymoo Hes gorgeous x

 

[Hann12]

Yes I don't know why some doctors are like that - mine is either overly lovely or a complete cow, she's literally like 2 different people and you never know what you'll get! The nurses are all lovely though.

Yay for completing the hospital bag! My maternity pads are cheap ones from boots - they are really good though, I used them last time and they were fab, plus they do thin ones for when the bleeding slows down.
