~*~ February Flowers 2014! ~ 37 Babies Have Arrived! ~*

It must be hard to be told one thing and then get another.

Personally I think, as this is your first baby???
You shouldn't have to worry too much about Pnd, it's all such a blur. Wait until you see that little boy in your arms. He will look so precious, beautiful and the second your eyes meet you'll feel that love.

My son went straight of my boob the second he was placed on my tummy and that first moment, I'll just never forget.
Little boys are amazing.
I wouldn't change anything about my son for the world. Don't get me wrong! I wanted a girl first but I'm SOOOO glad we had our boy. He's perfect. Completes me and I can't imagine my life without him.

I'm glad the doctors are keeping an eye on you. There's so much you can do to help with Pnd too. Especially when that gorgeous little man is here.
Time goes so quickly, I cannot wait to enjoy those first moments with my second and share them with my first.

Hugs.
We understand how you feel hun, not completely, but I want you to know you are not alone.
If you want someone to speak to about how you feel, you button bash your way on here and I promise someone will reply.
Xxxxxxxx

Thanks it nice to know people understand. It's been a roller coaster from the start with my emotions and on and off depression/anxiety. My family dr said oh just hormones but I've been horrid to those around me a lot and it makes it worse. I'm just happy my ob listened to me and keeping an eye on it.

I'm sure I will be fine with my little boy once he's here and likely sooner. Just a shock to find out. Very happy to find out now and not when he arrived lol.

Thanks again ladies. Nice to be able to talk openly and not feel judged

I think having a son first is an amazing gift to future daughters as every girl needs a big brother. My girls adore their big brother and he really looks out for them. But it will take some time to adjust we are all here for you with no judgment.
I had pnd with all of my babies but it cleared up quickly with the right meds my advice would be if you don't feel right see someone straight away don't try to battle through on your own trust me its not worth it

Quiet in here!

Can't believe it's going to be Christmas before we know it and then we will be counting the days of jan down ready for labour watch!

 

[allforthegirl]

It is quiet in here. Everyone must be busy or just getting really tired LOL

Anyone else noticing that they are wearing out sooner in the day? My body also seems not to be able to handle it as easily. If I am not tired my back, hips or belly hurts….

 

[Katiie]

Yes! :wave:

Tonight it got to 5pm and I was nodding off while dinner was cooking.
Even during dinner I was trying not to fall asleep.

Now it's 2:49am and I'm wide awake!!! Without even having a sleep!

 

[Likklegemz]

Allfor and Katie yep defiantly flaking in the evening! I've got building work going on which should be finished by the end of the week - but everything is taking it out of me!

Add in is anyone finding themselves waking up in the middle of the night?

 

[ksilme]

Hey, how are you all?

I feel tired all day and then when I finally sleep, I too wake up in the middle of the night, and really struggle to get back to sleep again my back is so sore and painful now too, I think it's not helped by me scrubbing floors and showers at work, only have til next Fri though but it is painful throughout the day and then once I am in bed, I can't get back out again unless I have been lying on my side - it's generally if I am in bed on laptop so sitting or lying on back that I really struggle to get up again x
other than that I am still loving being pregnant though, can't wait til she is here she is wriggling around right now she is always on my right side


Has anyone felt short of breath? I am Sat on a sofa on my break and suddenly feel like I can't breathe not the first time it's happened either x

 

[Katiie]

I get out of breath a lot. Welcome to third tri haha it's completely normal xxx

 

[OurLilFlu]

Oh yes!! True to all those symptoms! I'm doing work for the flu clinics so I'm on my feet less and just reading out the info about flu and I'm gasping for air if I talk too fast lol! Having periodic insomnia too, get up at 3 to pee and I'm wide awake!! So annoying. Did a lot of renovation work this weekend and I'm not sure if I overdid it or like you guys were talking about seperatjng abs but my bump was sooo sore just above my belly button!! Ouchy! Crazy that everyone is hitting or has already hit the 30 week mark! Eek some of us won't even see 40! Unreal!

 

[allforthegirl]

I too get out of breath all the time. I have had to take my rescue inhaler the other day and it is a bit better but I am noticing that I am a bit weesy.

 

[Pernae]

Oh yes! Me too.. Actually am starting to feel actually pregnant! LOL going out of breath and being worn out all the time.. not being able to walk for long.. my lower back is sore.. my eyes are getting dry all time... I'm feeling thirsty all time.. my tummy is exploding lol and being garnished with new stretch marks.. and to top it off, I think something is wrong with my pelvic floor muscle.. meh.. Can't wait for the baby..

On a brighter note, I had my 4d scan and the dr said that everything is fine!! ^^

 

[Pernae]

So It's my 31st week, and I still have a posterior low lying placenta.
Does any of you ladies have that? or do you think it might change and go up as they say when the baby gets bigger? I really am worried.. I'm scared shitless of having a C-section..

I'm in same position... Low lying but posterior at 31 weeks. At 20 weeks they said it was 90% likely to move up. Now they're saying its more like 50:50 to have to have a section. It's not my ideal outcome at all but I've made my peace that there's not much I can do but hope. And that whatever is the safest way to get my little man out is what's best. We're going to make a lot of sacrifices being a mummy, if I have to have a section I just view it as one sacrifice of many to come

 

[allforthegirl]

I too had a low lying with my second and as he got bigger it moved up just enough for a safe vag delivery!! So yes there is still a chance. I hope it still moves for you 2 !!

 

[Helsie]

Hi ladies - can I join you? Due Feb 20th, not sure what it is yet I think it will end up coming early though as bump is quite big and I have severe PGP, so my consultant is likely not going to let me go to term.

How is everyone else finding it at the moment? I'm exhausted all the time and collapsing all over the place - not so fun!

 

[OurLilFlu]

Welcome! By u/s we have the same due date! So are you team yellow or babe just hasn't been cooperating?! We're going for a 4d scan on Wednesday... I might get the tech to write down the gender and surprise oh with a reveal (just for him, I don't wanna know!) for Xmas or our anniversary in jan... Just struggling to decide if I can trust him with the secret!

 

[allforthegirl]

I would have the same worry…. what if he goes crazy and starts buying stuff in the colour babe would wear???? Ugh that is a hard one!!

 

[baby1wanted]

Welcome Helsie!
Thanks AFTG. I've made my peace with the idea of an elective section if necessary but am keeping everything crossed to be able to do a vaginal delivery. I want to know what labour is like!

 

[Neversaynever]

I can't believe how far along we all are scary!

I'm totally huge...baby on the 90th centile and nervous as heck

I'm positive it's another boy...saw bits at my last scan was really hoping to not see but I guess when doing measurements on the femur they think we don't know what to look for

Think I'll tell them to get me to look away on the next scan in three weeks.

Hoping you ladies that have low lying placentas at the moment..I think by 32 weeks if they're goin to move up it'll be by then...fingers crossed for you

XxX
