That urge to push is overwhelming eh! And when you actually push it feels so GOOD!!

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

yep you can finally do something while having a contraction! X

 

[Wiggler]

I think I am the only person who didn't enjoy the pushing stage

 

[AmeliePoulain]

I am excited to do labour again, and my birth experience was far from great last time.

I am having one of those evenings with my toddler where I am wandering 'why on earth am I doing this again???? I really want TWO of these crazy non sleeping things????'

Luckily her Dad is settling her now.........I was beginning to feel the need for a glass of wine

my ds is 2 1/2 and he keeps waking in the night and climbing in our bed!!! I'm so exhausted that i dont always know he is there...sometimes i wonder why we are having another, especially when my OH doesnt help at night!!!!

I was rubbish at the pushing stage. Apparently I wasnt doing it properly!!! I didnt realise you could do it wrong!!!!

 

[embo216]

I did it wrong with Lily! I didn't realise you had to push like you wanted a poop! I was pushing down on my legs more with my 1st

I hated the pushing stage! Decided after the first one that he was coming out on push #2 because I was not going to go through that any longer. Yes, he popped out head and all in one push. I'm so grateful I live in a country with drugs. Not being in pain is the most brilliant thing ever!
It took me over a year to bond with my son because of the massive sleep deprivation.
I worry about depression when this one is born because I won't trust that the crappy sleep will ever end. With my son, I just kept thinking it can't last much longer, next thing I knew he was 1 and still waking constantly. I can't do that again.

Roll call!
Who has a scan this week?
Mine is Friday afternoon.

Hello ladies! Im just stopping in to say hello. Little man seems to be growing, although I'm still down 10 from prepregnancy weight. Doc said if I continue to lose weight we will have another growth scan just to make sure everything is ok. I think its just because Im really trying to eat better and Im not taking in all the extra food from breastfeeding.

I can't wait for little man to get here already lol Im already pretty big Im kinda scared to see how big I'll be at 38+ weeks. this is last weeks bump pictures

How sad is it that one of the highlights of my day is that I think I'll actually have a bowel movement? I hate pregnancy constipation.

I'm in the same boat. I'm so constipated to the point where I'm achey in my abdomen. Hoping the stool softeners will help before I start getting bad stomach cramps. I've had problems pre-pregnancy with constipation, but not near as bad as while being pregnant.

 

[fides]

cute bump!

 

[jme84]

The stool softner didn't really work for me. I started eatting fiber one bars, one a day and it made a world of difference. Wondering if anyone is still throwing up? I am and its not fun. Feeling her move makes it worth it.

Good evening ladies!!

19wks today!! Been feeling baby kick pretty strong now and I just love it.

DH started painting the nursery today, I found a perfect second hand bookcase, and I think I found a dresser! - I can't wait to see it finished and hoping it comes together.

I am scared of the idea that this baby is going to have to eventually come out of a rather small opening My mom was in labor for 22 hours and I was breech and was turned around inside her. I am not looking forward to the pain but I am looking forward to meeting my little guy!! I can't wait to see what he looks like

My friend (she was from england) had her baby in germany and said she had the nicest experience and much better than her other 2 in a uk hosp!

Who else said about an ache "down below"? Sure someone said it and its what I have today

I did, yes still getting it when trying to get out of bed(

Re - constipation.

I switched 2 weeks ago onto my gestational diabetes diet (I dont have it yet thankfully) but I am trying to avoid it.

I have cut out white carbs and switched to brown pasta/rice. Eating lots of protein and dairy and loads of veg. I am still eating plenty of fruit as my sugars are fine at the moment.

The effect on my constipation problem has been amazing - I am totally normal again! It wasnt like I was even eating many white carbs before though, so i wander if it is just the increased fruit and veg???

 

[embo216]

woop 20 weeks half way there

Happy 20 weeks!!

I have my scan in 2.5 hours
