Early Third Trimester Thread!

[MemmaJ]

I packed my hospital bag yesterday and I feel a sense of relief already, lol! I thoroughly recommend it, it's very therapeutic! ;-)

Baby's movements are getting quite aggressive now, it's gone from just hard kicks to painful dragging limbs right across the top and side of my bump.

Hope everyone is keeping well!

I agree! I've had mine packed for a few days, got my kids packed for when they stay with a friend and I've been getting dhs ready too...I feel like I'm starting to nest again as well, I had a major nesting phase around 25 weeks where I would wake up at 3 am and had to go organize things haha, I feel the same urges to get everything spotless and organized again I just keep thinking that realistically, he could be here in less than a week and a half if he comes when my second was born but most likely no more than 2 1/2 weeks at the most as I'm definitely not expected to go past 38 weeks I'm both in a state of shock and excitement at the same time

Hello Fliss welcome over X

 

[Maries_s]

justplay91: Hold on a little bit more! How are you feeling today? I missed college today because I'm very tired but emotionally I feel better than yesterday. Today I'm going to buy some pijamas for my baby to package her hospital bag. (Hoping that cheer me up a little bit)

This Saturday I'm going to buy the things for my hospital bag and some bottles and the bottle sterilizer.

Also I thing I'm getting a cold. Hoping is the weather today.

Had my Anti-D yesterday argh it hurt!

Still totally full of heartburn bleugh.

 

[mrs_sasquatch]

Hi, Fliss! Heartburn just started for me...I think it's just that she's finally big enough to smoosh my stomach. :/ I can't complain much though, I escaped morning sickness.

Got the diaper bag packed yesterday but I still haven't started on my hospital bag. Even with lists, I feel like I am at a loss for what's necessary. I know I don't need to pack DH a bag. We are right down from the hospital and he will probably be back and forth from the house to check on the dogs.

 

[Twag]

Fliss my anti d hurt this time around also but not as much as my whooping cough one
Sorry about the heartburn I am lucky that I do not seem to get inflicted with that symptom but I do still have MS so......

I have everything I need (prob too much tbh but I like to be prepared) I just need to stop procastinating and actually pack it!!

I need to start sorting a hospital bag! All I have so far is a list and I don't even remember where I put it lol!!!! I'm so unorganised this time, I don't even know what I need to get for baby still or anything! Better start getting my butt into gear lol

 

[Fliss]

I've got the whooping cough one on Wednesday and hopefully flu jab too - may as well get both done at the same time if they let me.

Dreading it tbh but gotta be done.

Oh and apparently my haemoglobin count is low - they've prescribed me iron tablets which I can't get til Monday sigh.

 

[AnaBear]

Officially entered my third trimester yesterday So happy & excited! 90 more days.

Omg the anti d really hurt! I wasn't looking when she did it, There was a slight sting and I said "that wasn't bad at all', turns out she had loads more to pump in! It was horrible! I had it in my bum once it went all numb. The whooping cough was not nearly as bad IMO but my nurse did it so she may have a better technique than a midwife

 

[Maries_s]

Hi girls! I had my appointment today!
Baby girl weigh is 5.13pounds

But, Doctor said that I don't have much amniotic fluid. He ordered me to rest all week and drink a lot of water (that I always do) and see what happen. If for Monday I still don't have much fluid, he is going to hospitalize me and if this doesn't work I guess the next step will be get induced.

 

[kwynia]

I hope your fluid goes back up, but glad that you are being monitored for it. I can't imagine going through pregnancy without medical care and not having any idea what's happening in there. FX for you!

 

[Fliss]

Flu and whooping cough jab achieved

 

[justplay91]

Me too, Fliss. So happy to be done with the shots!

Maries_s, that's scary about your fluid levels. The plus side is they know about it and it sounds like they're being really proactive about it. I hope the resting and hydrating does the trick and your levels are back to normal next week.

How is everyone feeling? I'm soooo tired and can't believe I still have 51 days left. But I'm sure that time will fly by!

 

[MemmaJ]

I had my whooping cough and flu vaccines today too! The whooping cough one reeeeally hurt (even more than the Anti D!).

It's my last shift at work tomorrow and I can't wait. I haven't told anyone at work as I don't want the attention of all the 'goodbye's and things, I'd rather just slope off quietly!

Had lots of pains a few nights ago - OH ran me a bath which was just magical, it helped so much. It's definitely solidified my thoughts about labouring/birthing in water!
Anyone else considering this..?

 

[diz]

I laboured in the pool with my other two, though delivered on dry land it really helped with pain relief.

 

[justplay91]

We don't have any hospitals/birthing centers around here that allow water births, but if I go into labor naturally this time and have to labor at home, I will definitely remember to run myself a bath. Thanks, ladies!

33 weeks today! Definitely still feeling like I belong in early third trimester. December 4th feels years away. And now we're getting so close to having everything done for her arrival; soon it's just going to be a waiting game!

 

[Fliss]

At least in the UK we don't just get the whooping cough -it's basically the same as the booster and inital jabs littlies get - so we get additional shots of diptheria, polio and tetanus - and it's the tetanus that kills your arm - apparently by the time the childhood vaccination schedule finishes we have 5 doses of it and each time you have it the site is more sore - and for me that was either dose 6 or 7 (a few accidddents as a young adult)

Still worth it though.
