Due In May :)

[BellaRosa8302]

Welcome miss! We have the same due date may 7 happy 29 weeks!

 

[Sass827]

I'm sorry you've had such a bad go of it mommy moo. I was hoping it got easier with each pregnancy, but I guess each one is different. Were hoping for 3 LO's as well.
So happy for your friend Jary! My neighbor across the street was scheduled for a csection at 9 this morning, but went into labor at 12 last night! They had a lovely 8.5 LB girl.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Aww congratulations to your friend Jary seeing all the baby pics is making me soo broody

Thank you BellaRosa I see your team must be so exciting not knowing what your having!!

Thanks Sass I thought they got easier too I'm also anaemic which keeps coming and going but I've always had that in pregnancy. I think 3s a lovely number although I'd have preferred 4 but there's no chance of that with all these problems no way could I go through another pregnancy!

How is everyone today? x

 

[Jary]

Awww sass that baby must have wanted to come naturally! It's lovely because on fb suddenly there's a baby! There's been a few times now where friends go quiet with no mention of going into labour and then boom! Baby! Lol.

AFM, I had a horrible sleep last night. I ache everywhere and really struggled to get comfy. My pelvic pain is back and I have no idea what baby is up to. I'm sure I have a kangeroo in my belly and not a baby! Last night he or she was constantly wriggling in this one spot on my left hand side (busy little fists I think) and now it's play time again this morning as I'm typing. It's sweet but also weird when it feels they are moving about quicker than I imagined a baby could.

 

[MissMummyMoo]

for the sleep Jary. I don't sleep we'll either with my pelvis, have you tried a pillow between your legs I find that sometimes helps.

Baby movements are definitely weird now! Not many little kicks and punches just wriggling and head banging I've noticed LO has had quite a few hiccups recently too and because he's head down they feel really weird mines currently awake too I'm lying on my side in bed, slightly on my front and he goes mad kicking off the bed and the other side of my belly any plans for today Jary? X

 

[Jary]

I have a body pillow and sometimes that's helps.

Today is a chill day for me! I went back to work after some time off yesterday and back in tomorrow for two long days. Have you got any plans?

Also I think baby has moved into oblique position! I have movements to the left at the bottom and on the right at the top. But I'm sure it'll change since this little wriggler likes to jump about so much lol

 

[MissMummyMoo]

When do you start your maternity leave? I've been off work since 17 weeks due to my SPD

I've got a body pillow too and it is sometimes helpful!

I've brought the kids to Brewers Fayre for breakfast and play. £8.25 for an adult buffet breakfast and the kids get theirs free bargain x

 

[Jary]

Breakfast sounds tasty!

I'm starting mine on 1st April. Cannot wait! My ward is so busy. I had some pelvic pain a few weeks ago and could barely walk with the pain! Was glad it went away lol

 

[Sass827]

It is so nice just to see the baby appear on fb. I'm just over the moon for them. I wish it was our time. I'm getting antsy.
Work today for me, then I was supposed to go to dinner with gf's but one caught a stomach bug, so that's off. I think I'll stop and see my friend with the 2 month old instead. It's so nice just to sit and hold a little baby.
So I got so mad at DH last night. I'm getting so anxious about the delivery - ESP the potential of tearing or having a c section. DH just doesn't get that it will be hard. He only gets one week off then I have no help. We live far from both of our families. so, I said, it would be so good for Me and work if shdmc ame a week or two Early. He replies, oh no. That's no good for me. I have a meeting that week. I'm like what?! One meeting? Are you serious? Ugh. Sometimes I just want to slap the back of his head.

 

[Jary]

I think men sometimes just don't get that it's hard to make a baby, bring it into the world and that babies won't always arrive when you want them to.

I always find the men on OBEM funny because its almost like their common sense goes out the window!

I'm sure your DH will be ok once baby is on the way

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Totally agree with Jury Sass men can be so selfish at times! Baby will come hwen baby wants, not when he hasn't got a meeting

Some of the men on OBEM are sooo funny!! x

 

[Jary]

Yay it's on tonight! Makes me so eager for baby to be fully cooked and ready to be here!


Lol I've been wondering this morning if my little tinker has moved to transverse but I've just had a couple of very ticklish kicks on my ribs! It's like the movement suggests that baby isn't ready to settle in one place just yet....we will see when I see the mw next Tuesday!

 

[Sass827]

The men on OBEM are a riot. Some are as bad as children.
DH called and apologized this afternoon. I think he has realized having an emotional preggers in the house Is a major liability that needs to be contained.

 

[Jary]

Speaking of emotional preggers I got upset over a pair of tights this morning! The only back pair I could find for work had holes in so I e had to put grey ones on which is fine but it still made me cry. Stupid hormones!

And on top of that, I have found a huge crack at the bottom of my windscreen so I'm gonna have to get that replaced let's hope work doesn't suck as much as my morning!

 

[Hann12]

Morning everyone!

Hope everyone's doing okay. Seems like the pregnsncy aches and pains are stepping up a gear now. I had a bad nights sleep - so annoying!!

Sass - I'm still slowly putting on weight too, occasionally I jump up a kilo in a week which scares me but I'm hoping I don't go too over what I did with DD. I think this one will be bigger though.

Jary - I keep being told by dr and mw that my baby is head down but I'm not feeling kicks really high up, I think it still must be moving around a lot. It's constantly got hiccups too - around 12 times a day! DD was the same though.
Hope your day gets better - it's never good when it starts with issues!!

Off to take DD to her football class this morning then to a petting farm then I'll get a sleep at lunch time. Can't wait for that!!

 

[Sass827]

I'm sorry Jary. That sucks!
Hey Hann! Here I am. Up 6 hours after falling asleep. Starving and baby is kicking like crazy. I think she's just spinning around in there too. Lack of sleep is terrible. I need to learn how to nap. enjoy the zoo!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Jary I feel anything will make me cry at the moment Yay for hormones ... NOT!

for the bad nights sleep Hann, enjoy your morning out and your nap this afternoon, I wish I could sleep in the day but I just can't

for the little sleep Sass, will you be able to have a nap today?

I didn't sleep well at all last night either, I was in tears everytime I was turning over with my pelvis I can barely lift my feet an inch off the floor today I'm in that much pain with it Hoping it eases off a little in the next few days! X

 

[Sass827]

Thanks mommy moo. I've never been able to nap. Only if I'm sick. Then I can nap. Otherwise, no dice.
I cried yesterday in the subway. And while listening to a book on cd. And while talking to my therapist, so I guess that takes yesterday's total to 3. Gotta love it.
I'm back to having crazy dreams. I had a little break in the 2 nd tri, but I can tell they are back. Anyone else? Stinking hormones!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

I've had the odd pregnancy dreams but not too many this time! Pregnancy dreams are mad x

 

[cgav1424]

Hi ladies!

Tell me about the inability to sleep! My hips ache at night and laying on either side is getting harder and harder.

Sass - I gained a pound a week up until week 20 when I was weaned off steroids. From weeks 20 to now (week 28), I was able to limit my weight gain to 5 lbs. My original goal was to gain a total of 30-35 lbs for this pregnancy, but I don't think that's going to happen because...

I went for my 28 week scan yesterday and baby is measuring small. She's only in the 6th percentile and if she's not in the 10th percentile on the growth chart by my next scan in 2 weeks then I'll officially be diagnosed with IUGR. I'm on bed rest until my next scan so hopefully the rest helps all my nutrients and calories go to LO. I'm already frustrated though as bed rest is near impossible with two other kids to take care of. Luckily, they're 6 and 11 so self-reliant and extremely helpful. I have pretty small babies by nature anyway. DS was only 5 lbs 15 oz born at 37+3 and DD was 6 lbs 9 oz at 38+4. I didn't have third trimester scans with either of my other two kids so I have no idea where they were on the growth chart at this stage in their gestation. Hopefully, I'm just growing another petite little baby.
It's frustrating though.

Jary - I've been emotional and hormonal this whole pregnancy. I've been crying at the drop of a hat and at the most ridiculous things so I'm glad I have the hormones to blame!

MummyMoo - sorry for all the pain you're in at the moment. I hope it gets better!

Hann - enjoy your day with Annabelle! <<I still adore that name and it's at the top of our list for this little one!

Oh and not too many preggo dreams here! Though my last one was a vivid one where DH left me for a silly reason. I don't remember what it was, but it was terrible and I woke up extremely angry at him. In my other pregnancies, my dreams were slightly erotic and sometimes ended with a big "O"... haven't had any of those yet. I think I prefer those to the ones of DH leaving me.
