Its June!!!!! 20 week scan next month!!! Whos with me?

[Sarahcake]

3rd tri!!!!! Woot!!! Thanks Ally

Nice one on getting out and actually doing some walking, you may not see a difference weight wise, but it's the fitness level that counts right now. Your weight is going in inevitably go up any who, but you'll be able to manage that weight better from doing the walking and exercising so good stuff! Well done you

I think it's called linea nigra or something like that right? It's not happened to me at all though, was interested to see if it would lol.

 

[Scally]

Oh my god it was roasting out again!!!!!!! Didnt realise when I started my walk, i am very hot and bothered now!

I wonder when its supposed to appear? I think i was quite lot on with Izzy when mine showed!

How are you doing Sarah?

x

 

[Sarahcake]

I believe its anywhere from late 2nd tri onwards so could spontaneously show anytime in the coming weeks, or then, it may not as not everyone gets them.

The warmth has subsided a bit up here luckily, finding it a bit easier to get some sleep now as im not warm and clammy as well as being generally uncomfortable lol

Im good thank you, just poked my head into 3rd tri forums and said hello there, still cant believe im able to post there now. The reality of it all has very much set in this morning, in as little as 10-11 weeks time, I will have my little boy here, life will be totally different lol Crazyness!

How are you doing today?

 

[Inoue]

Your in the 3rd tri Sarah!!!!!

I cant wait to join you girls over there, are we able to move this thread yet or are we staying in this section? I'm having a hard time holding off from washing LO's outfits, although I may wash her warm going home outfit just incase I need it soon... Oh the temptation!! x

 

[Sarahcake]

Ive been looking at all of Logan's things thinking 'well I could just wash them now....' lol Held back so far! Never been so excited to actually do chores like washing and ironing!

 

[Scally]

Sarah- it is so different over there! Its crazy how little time is left now, in about 11 weeks i should have my little madam too!

Inoue- I have been holding off moving over until everyone is third, but i might pm wobbles now as we are all mostly there now!

I keep itching to do that too, and the hospital bag and sort the corner of our room, I was talking to OH last night and he was my sensible head! But I am going to start in September, we have got such a mad month that if I find time to do bits I want to do them! I cant wait to see those little clothes drying on the line!

x

 

[Inoue]

Maybe another week or so then everyone should be about 3rd tri, how exciting!

I also keep looking at my hospital bag thinking im going to pounce on it soon and stuff it full of mine and babys stuff, ill also do it in September, just a few more weeks to wait x

 

[Sarahcake]

epic mental image of you having a staring contest with the bag then pouncing on it like a cat stalking its preg Inoue haha!

I dont have a hospital bag yet, ive no idea what to actually get, what will be big enough, whats practical, what the hell do I pack etc lol

 

[Inoue]

Lol, yeh i do circle it every now again to show it who's boss

This is the kind of bag im using for my main hospital bag : https://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2868893/Trail/searchtext>SPORT+BAG.htm, then ill use my changing bag for the excess baby stuff. Just hope i can fit it all in, can imagen the midwifes face if i come in with heavy luggage! x

 

[Sarahcake]

Lmao thats right, you keep that bag in check!

Ahh sweet, I was actually looking at that same bag myself tbh! Good to know im looking in the right direction. I have a bad tendency to over prepare for everything, im totally going to end up with a weeks worth of luggage when I get to the hospital :S

 

[Inoue]

Same here, my list is three A4 papers long . May cross a few things off that i 'may' not need. So far ive crossed off any music systems as i will just use my phone, also crossed off my GHD's as im sure i will be to busy to straighten my hair . All secondary items (small travel bottles of shampoo/conditioner etc) will probably be left in the car in a separate 'back up' bag. My hospital is 40 mins away from my home and is a bitch to get to/from due to the duel roads so im praying i can get everything done in one hit x

 

[Scally]

I have got a flight bag i am going to use and a rucksack for baby- but there is so much stuff so i am not sure they will be big enough!
I am going to have a back up bag in the car just in case as i know my OH will be useless if i asked him to pick up a few more things!
Inoue- thats a good idea about the shampoo etc, I know i wont be having a shower until the next day (c section) so i could leave that in the car to start off with.

[Scally]

Oh and meant to say my violent kicks have come back over the last couple of days! woohoo! x

 

[Sarahcake]

Ooo the back up bag in the car is a good idea. Will do that I think, saves some room in my main hospital bag then and its one less thing to cart up to L&D when its all going on. Will just send Neil to the car to grab it if I want it the same day I give birth - knowing me ill want to be in the shower asap lol

Ooo nice one Ally, must have been a growth thing then as mine have come back hard as well now. Baba's must be sleepy from growing so much!

 

[Scally]

It must be a growth thing, I havent felt her move position hugely so maybe they have a growth spurt about 24 weeks until 27 where they conserve their energy! They are so violent now whatever she was kicking today was blooming hurting! lol. And my whole upper body moves with the kicks sometimes!

x

 

[Sarahcake]

Haha I know that one! Just looked down and saw my boob violently wibble wobble as he kicked me! Was the highest up kick ive had so far that, must have been in one right random position to achieve that!

 

[Scally]

Mine are still low down- is your little man head down?

Inoue- saw u on the thread about washing clothes, some people have done it already and hospital bags, is that a green light for us! x

 

[Sarahcake]

When I had the nurse check me over for reduced movements she did mention that she thought he was head down, but then she trailed off onto another subject. Ive felt him wriggle around since then though so I honestly couldn't tell you where abouts he's residing currently.

 

[Scally]

Maybe because your kicks are high up thats a good sign that he is head down or going head down? I suppose they can still wiggle around lots at this stage- although my pregnancy books said they are running out of room in there! (already??)

x

 

[Sarahcake]

I would guess that if he's not completely head down, he's certainly on his way. I can feel what I think are hiccups, and they seem to be pretty low down, but the violent movements like the kicks are all up high - way higher than i thought they would be at this point. But then, could it be something to do with the fact im measuring 2 weeks ahead? Or was as of last week anyway's.

Got midwife next week who will prod around, see what she recons. Got another scan at 29 weeks too so will know for definite exactly where he is by then I guess!
