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

Cheers Kellie, she loved the donkeys! On our way home now, back to reality boooo! Probably for the best - spent an absolute fortune! Oooops!

Glad you're feeling better is your chest ok now? Keep an eye on it and make sure you haven't hurt any ribs or muscles, I'm sure all the squished up organs making your rib cage expand plus all the coughing can't feel great

No hospital bag here! Not doing mine until next month. I don't even have anything to go in it yet!

Hope everyone had lovely weekends xx

Lauryn- glad u had a good time!

Time- Yay for your MA, as far as i know you can actually stop working but as long as you were employed for those test periods you can still get it! I kind of want my boss to sack me now so then i can get the whole 9 months rather than going back after 2!

Kellie- Glad you are feeling better, passing round bugs really cant be helped. I am the same as Time I am constantly sanitising my hands in the shop and when i go out and about- I am a freak too! Especially after going to a cashpoint, i never forget reading about how many germs they find on those things!

Glad that you are feeling better now Kellie, those types of bugs are crap enough without having to contend with pregnancy also

Lauryn, I saw that Amber loved the donkey ride! She looks so happy in the pic you put on Facebook, glad you had a great time!

Time, Gratz on your success with MA! I hear they can be a bit of an arse to apply to and actually sort things

Hospital bag still isnt even bought, let alone packed! I want to do it ASAP but Neil is like, ohhh we have plenty of time left yet 0_0

Not sure whats up with me the last few days but I am increasingly tired, sleeping for a few hours during the day now which is something I never really do unless im properly poorly. To top it off my hands and arms are so itchy but I cant see a cause, there's no rashes or marks besides the ones im giving myself by scratching it. Sounds daft but it feels like its under my skin, like there's tiny microscopic spiders crawling around beneeth the surface....I sound insane but thats the only real way I can describe it. Hope it sods off soon as its getting proper uncomfortable

 

[Scally]

Sarah- have you spoken to your MW about the itching? Please do as i know it can be a sign of something serious- there is a thread on it at the top of the 3rd trimester page- it could just be itching but i know they take it seriously.

Kellie- what you were saying about the kicks/movements- i am getting some blooming painful kicks in the bladder and other internal organs! lol

I am trying to work out when to get the pram out of the loft- i want to still clean the chassis and make sure its all ready, but i dont want it hanging around the house for too long as its going to take up sooooo much room!

Hi ladies . Glad your feeling better kellie

Im having a rubbish day, I always take mum and nan shopping on a Monday (they cant drive) and after 2hours (was walking down the isles at Morrisons) I was nearly doubling over in pain, mainly from the top of the bump. Started worrying esp after losing part if my plug but kept plodding on, then when waiting for nan, I had to leave my trolly and run to the toilet and had (TMI) mass diarrhea . Mum started freaking out so got home quick and layed down, now no more cramps but still pooping . So fed up with this xxx

 

[Scally]

Inoue- oh my god lady! I would say phone your MW, but she is bloody useless! You poor thing, you really need to take it easy and hope its something you ate rather than the "clear out". Any cramps or anything get yourself to L&D and demand they take a look at you!

Ally, My OH thinks its nothing right now, ive read that thread and those are my concerns tbh. I have midwife next monday so he's said to see if I can just hold on until then. Will give it a shot but if it gets worse Ill be ringing antenatal day unit weather he likes it or not. Think he thinks im being a little bit of a hypercondriac with pregnancy things lol

Inoue, that sounds awful...have you tried to speak to a midwife? Try and rest up and get plenty of fluids down you, replace some that your loosing by having the diarrhoea, hugs for you.

 

[ttc_lolly]

time - yay on the MA! Nice surprise when you get more than you expected isn't it!? I though if anything, they'd try do me out of money not sure how they monitor you don't work within that 40 weeks actually... I suppose they trust for you to be honest!? Not sure if they check taxes and NI paid etc just incase though?

Awww inoue, take it easy hun no advice on the bowel issues, as I've had it all throughout this pregnancy pretty much and nothing has helped. Speak to your MW if you are at all concerned though. Same for you too Sarah. I know some itching is normal but if it's unbearable and all over, that doesn't sound too good x

 

[Scally]

Sarah- honestly i would go and see your MW thats what they are there for, and then they can test you to rule out anything serious, itching is the first sign you dont want to get to the other signs. Please go, and give your OH a kick from me if he protests! lol

[Inoue]

Thanks all . It just seems to be all these signs hitting me in the face when im swearing black and blue that ill make it to full term. All pain gone when im laying down, im a little tender in bump when moving around. Will deff go to L&D if cramps start again, just wierd as I thought Labour pains are like period pains v low down, my pain is more tightening at top of bump x

 

[time]

Glad you had a good time lauryn! Keep meaning to book a weekend away but something else always seems to crop up!

I would speak to your midwife about the itching Sarah it may be just sensitive skin which a lot of women get during pregnancy but it can also be linked to serious problems, although normally its all over. Could you maybe be allergic to some new hand cream/washing up liquid? Fairy washing up liquid makes me itch like mad!!

Wish I had waited longer to get our pram ally haha its in baby's room but just collecting dust so I've covered it up with a sheet!!

Hope the bad tummy passes inoue, hopefully just coincidence after losing some plug but rest up and get lots of fluids! I find walking round for more than about half an hour far too much work nowadays haha!

 

[Sarahcake]

Gonna give it tonight, do all the stupid crap that he is suggesting just so ive done it - he recons calamine lotion will stop it magically.... doesn't seem to understand that ive been a health care assistant for 5 years and know some things about rashes and medication...sure calamine will work on a rash...but if there's no rash there, then what? lol

Ill not leave it though, midwife's will be phoned tomorrow for sure.

Time: Sorry think we posted at the same time! The itching has come from nowhere and weve not really changed anything that we use home here :S Has always been fairy and the same handwash and things. The itching starts at my hands and works its way up to the top of my arms, I can feel the same tingly itching is about to start sensation in my shins now :S

Think I must have been out of action when people added on Facebook, mine is here:

[time]

Oh no Sarah that doesn't sound good! Best to be safe and get checked out I would say x

 

[Sarahcake]

You have a friend request from me
Ive had loads of friends just get hold of me and tell me the same so I think im going to try and ring someone. Id have thought the bloods taken at 28 weeks would have picked anything untoward up though :S

 

[Scally]

I think they test for something different if you have itching, please keep us updated, i do think u need to demand to speak to someone.
Time- u have a friend request from me too! x

 

[time]

Some things can happen very suddenly though can't they? Thanks Sarah!

Pre warning I don't use Facebook an awful lot haha! Very boring!

 

[Sarahcake]

Pre warning, my feed has a lot of spam on it from work, I have to publicise things put up on the site so I have RSS feeds going, its quiet right now but it can get busier lol So apologies in advance for that!!

Gonna speak to the OH again,think I need to call someone...for my own peace of mind if anything.

 

[ttc_lolly]

Is there a reason you think you'll go before full term Inoue? Sorry if you've mentioned this before, I must have missed it.

I'll add you now time (or Natalie ).

Yep defo go get checked out Sarah, if it's nothing then at least you'll have your mind put at ease x

 

[Sarahcake]

Reet, tried to contact the midwife - cant get through (hurrah) so ive made an appointment with the doctors for Wednesday (earliest I could get in) however if its any worse tommorrow morning, then im ringing the day unit first thing and taking myself up there
