Whats RLT katy? I've never heard of it?

Also who was saying about water? That gives me really bad heartburn!

Ps, where's vicky? She's been quiet today? Hope everything is ok with those boys! Xx
 
Raspberry Leaf Tea. It's meant to strengthen the womb or something so contractions are more effective and labour theoretically is quicker. I'm not having any until this snow is gone just incase though, although most sources say it's okay from 32-34 weeks onwards xx
 
I've been drinking RLT since 32 weeks and nothing had happened so I'd say you're fairly safe. Although saying that, our snow's just got super bad over night, had another 6inchs so hubby's not venturing into work today. We can barely get the car's moving in the cul de sac now so maybe it's time to cosy up at home. When I put the cats out you can just about see a head above the snow :haha: but they insist on going out much to our amusement watching them skate all over the roads!

How's everyone feeling today. I'm particularly crappy. My hips have started clicking, could barely sleep last night, woke up feeling unbelievably hungry so made bacon and egg sarnies only to want to puke the second I'd finished cooking them and now I've a stinking headache and feel dizzy and can't sleep whilst hubby is soo cute snoring away next to me.

Ohh and my heartburn is flaring up and I can't reach my rennies without getting out of bed - although now I've typed that I seriously need the loo and have to get up anyway.....bbl :dohh:
 
Ah Gills, know the feeling, OH made me a bacon sarnie on monday and put red ketchup in it which I had started to like and it made me feel so ill that I was on the bed lying down for ages afterwards! I've a touch of SPD so wearing the belt 24 hours a day, its a great help in bed as you can actually move without being in pain!

Hope you are feeling better now.
 
I'm so disappointed today. I was supposed to have my 32 week appointment with my midwife today (at 32+5; something to do with my fundal height and getting a better picture of what was going on). The surgery rang at 9:30, and I knew what it was before I answered. My midwife can't get into the surgery because of the weather (I hope she lives in the countryside or something because it's better here today than yesterday, and I live a 5 minute walk from the surgery), so she's cancelling today's appointments and will ring me herself later today to re-schedule for next week. I really wanted to get my desire for a home birth out in the open and start arranging things, if necessary.

At least the surgery said I could see a GP or ring the labour ward if I had any medical concerns. But I'm fine in myself really, and the bean is very active. I really don't like things being messed around though, especially when I don't have much else to do and have been looking forward to it so much. :(
 
my pelvis is sooo sore today!! Baby's head is apprently 2/5th's engaged at my midwife appointment yesterday...thought to myself, oh only 2/5ths isnt bad... but then it was explained that it means the midwife can only feel 2/5ths...3/5ths is inside and engaged in the pelvis!! :dohh:

I wondered why i was getting shooting pains in my foofy and feeling so much pressure down in my pelvis! :rofl:

im really uncomfortable though :nope: With a baby this low i dont know if i will start my RLT until 37 weeks just incase!! :haha: She seems a bit too eager to me!!
 
iv started to take RLT- i hate it.. but lil man must like it he goes loopy everytime i drink it x

heheheh am here am here.

Well very exciting MW just came round (BP and urine test all fine again am having it checked weekly as it was on the rise at 32 weeks)

She palpated and said she wouldnt be surprised if sam (twin2) is head down too - which would make the natural delivery a LOT less nerve wracking for me. Fynn is almost definitely still head down as he is engaged but again as its soo hard to palpate two so she cant be sure. She said that Sam is in front of Fynn now which explains the changes in movement (I used to feel Fynn loads more than sam but now its reversed) and she was 100% sure she heard two heartbeats so I was happy with that. I told her all my symptoms and she said ooohh sounds promising!!!!!!

yay yay yay - I WANT THEM HERE NOW
 
I was thinking of you ladies across the pond as the newspaper where I live (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) even ran an article about the terrible weather you're having!!

Oh fab news vicky! So pleased for you! Fingers crossed they don't fidget and stay in place for you!

I'm feeling a bit better now. Made some crumbly raisin buns and had a big cuppa tea after walking to the shop - although that took all my energy and not my thighs are mega sore. Snow was pouring in the top of my boots (which are almost knee high) so i've super cold feet now but at least we have milk and bread again! :haha:

I'm totally bored and don't know what to do now. I've tried playing pc games, watching tv, baking, cleaning and nothing is inspiring me to do anything. pooh!
 
Sounds good Vicky :)

I'm also fed up today, I have the worst pressure in my bits, literally feels like they're going to explode or something! xx
 
Glad everything is looking good Vicky!

Well I've made it to my scan today to check the placenta just waiting, sovthought I'd check out bnb!

I had serious panic last night, got up at 2 in the morning to sort out the rest of the baby's room, started Reading my book on how to look after a newborn cos I was panicking so much lol. Still completely off food as well do know how you girlies feel xx
 
How'd the scan go pinkclaire??

I'm totally bored still - I even took all my baby clothes out and refolded them and re-packed the babies hospital bag. God I can't believe i've still got sooo long to go!!

Aww you're not that far behind me! Got read all the threads of girlies sneaking over here early then you'll feel reallly far along!

On a slightly interesting (but only if your pregnant) I think i just lost a little plug - had some very attractive clear mucas when I wiped just now...might go have sex to get rid of the rest :haha:
 
yay for losing plug gills! (only fellow preggos understand how significant and exciting these disgusting tmi things are!! :rofl:)

blackrose i feel like everyone is more pregnant than me, even though obviously i know they're not its just my impatience is getting really bad now...esp when there are so many threads of people popping and getting to hold their babies!! :hissy:
 
I have a tummy ache :-( I keep hoping it's labour, but I really don't think so, it's probably wind as usual.
