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

[time]

Yes ally agree with the symptom spotting! Every new twinge etc! And back to checking toilet paper haha

 

[Sarahcake]

Morning all

Thank you! 35 weeks eek!! Happy 34 weeks lauryn!

Ally, I would go for the meal just make sure to let them know that if you start feeling too tired or taxed that your going to have to go but if its a good friend, I suspect she would already know this and not mind should you have to leave early

Time + Kellie, hope your dizziness goes away soon. When was it worse for you? On exertion or sitting down etc? With why our body is going through currently, it's common to have blood pressure dips and spikes (obviously ongoing hypertension isn't good) but the occational dip or spike will happen. Especially if your doing something like getting up fast or rushing around keep an eye on it though and pop into the docs and ask of the nurse can quickly check your bp if it continues.

Kellie, glad like slept in for you today! Have seen your last few Facebook posts at not long gone 6 am! That must be so draining on you

Lauryn, good luck with your appointment later. I suspect that your midwife will just give you the number for physio so you can book in and see them but your gonna have to be quick on ringing them as there's usually an epic que to see them. It's 6 weeks here currently ... Real useful when I'm due in 5 lol!

Ally, I am defo feeling like I'm back in first tri with all the checking and things. Woken up a couple of days this week with trapped wind pain - which hurts like hell btw!!! Thinking OMG is this a contraction?! Lol been on the look out for my plug too. I now see why people say 2nd tri is a nice period of time, I wasn't checking for things half as much then as the other 2 tris!

 

[Scally]

Oh no to your car not passing- we dont seem to be doing very well with MOT's on here do we, I have mine on Saturday!

The boot space in a mini is laughable! I had one, and when they showed me the boot i couldnt believe it! Hope you manage to get a nice bigger car!

x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Hope you manage to find a new car time, and one with a boot big enough for your hospital bag I've never seen the boot of a mini but have sat in the backseat of one before and it wasn't much fun!

I agree with the SS for labour! I'm also on overdrive to look out for any of my previous symptoms with high BP as it began at 36w last time, so trying to avoid that at all costs.

A few have said that to me Sarah great!! Suppose I'll just have to grin and bear it until the end then. Defo going to get me some nappies for night time

 

[time]

Thanks Sarah, I generally feel dizzy when I've done too much but it soon passes once I stop and chill out.

Haha ally I know it's ridiculous I have to have the dog down by my feet in the passenger side and if I go food shopping its impossible to fit stuff in! Cannot wait together rid!

 

[kellie_w]

Congratulations on 34 and 35 weeks Lauryn and Sarah! We are all so close now! Did you all find the early 30 weeks have flown by? Ally, 36 weeks tomorrow!! How crazy is that!?

Sorry to hear your car failed its mot time, that's rubbish oh had a mini last year, it was a nightmare! The only buggy that would fit was a Quinny zapp which I hated as it was too small for me! And you could forget any shopping! I couldn't imagine having a newborn in one! We sold that for a Audi tt, an even worse buy as you can't get car seats to fit in the back I had to lay on the back seat, which has a 5ft 1 height limit. Luckily it had to be sold as we found out two weeks after buying that we were expecting!

Def feeling that first tri feeling again! Started feeling a bit sick again through the day, and every time I wipe I'm looking for anything that's a sign. And the peeing at night is beyond the joke! I'm waking a hour after falling asleep with a bladder like a camel, how can so much wee be made in a hour?! I'm not even getting started on turning over in bed has your midwife not referred you Lauryn for your pelvis pain?

Thank you Sarah, it was so lovely to get a lay in! I seriously don't know how I'm going to cope with night wakings again! X

 

[time]

Oh god Kellie that sounds terrible haha! I just want 4 doors and a big enough boot for the dog and pram so we're looking at estates and 4x4s hopefully will find something and part x ours. We only bought it in january and found out in Feb we were pregnant or we never would have got it!

Those of you who know baby is engaged.. Are you finding it difficult to cross your legs etc? I'm so uncomfortable, drive said yesterday she is right down there now!

 

[kellie_w]

Just seen uma thurman has named her baby girl, get ready for this...

Rosalind Arusha arkadina altalune Florence thurman-busson or Luna for short

SERIOUSLY?!?

 

[Sarahcake]

Yeah time I do, if I try and cross my legs I get shooty pains down there so I just dont bother now lol.

Kellie...is that for real? What the hell lol Ill never understand these massive names, I don't see the point in it! My foster mum is Brenda Mary Julia Anne Susan Moore and she hates it lol Only ever uses Brenda and Mary at a push if shes asked for a middle name!

 

[time]

Hahaha what the hell!!!!!!!poor baby! Luna is quite a cute name why not call her that!!!

 

[time]

And oh good Sarah glad it's not just me! Feel like she's really burrowing down now I'm walking funny!

 

[ttc_lolly]

Uma Thurman is a bti of an oddball though, isn't she!? poor kid! Rosalind is a nice name at least. Where does the 'Luna' for short come in to it though!?

 

[Sarahcake]

The best way I can describe the way im walking...is like im trying really hard not to poop myself lol! Sounds awful but he feels that low down that its like he's just going to drop out! I wish it were that easy though!

I agree, I like Luna actually, its really cute but then Luna Thurman, I think it sounds a little bit too much like Uma Thurman, can see people talking to them and getting confused with who they are talking about ie 'no no I said Luna did that, not Uma'.

 

[time]

Haha yeah I feel like imaging to hold something in!

Luna thurman does sound a lot like uma.. Would get very annoying at home!

 

[Sarahcake]

Lol yeah I imagine that getting a bit confusing...

"LUNA...GET TO YOUR ROOM"

*Uma starts sulking and walks upstairs*

"...not you"

haha!

 

[Inoue]

Wow! Few pages to catch up on

Sarah: Happy 35 weeks hun! I cant believe that women had the nerve to comment on your home and the bit of clutter, what house doesn’t these days! Your jaw must have been on the floor when she started saying those things. Awful thing to say about your kitty cats aswell, im sure your mature enough to look after Logan separately from the cats :doh:. The best way to get any medical professional smiling is to say “Im going to breastfeed”, I say it all the time even though I have formula ready at home just incase BF doesn’t work for me. Im generally not making any freezer meals for when baby’s here, im quite happy with a tin of soup or sandwich, I have two freezers and I still cant fit in all my food, lol.

Pops: Give you a pat on the back for staying team yellow. I was all pro team yellow but buckled at 16 weeks . Lovely names aswell, cant wait to see what your having

Time: Hope you rib area is feeling better now, how painful . Any idea how you did it? Guess all you can do is try and control your sneezing and take paracetamol when the pain hits its highest. There does seem to be a lot of November mums having there LO early, quite scary really that It could happen any day . Crap that your car failed its MOT, ive only collected mine after repairs yesterday but im glad ive got it all done and its now passed. Still waiting to get marcs car repaired and pay for re-MOT.

Scally: Id go to the Chinese meal as its not to far away, have a good feed up and see how you feel. You don’t have to stay for hours afterwards, im sure your friend will understand . I agree with pops, you cant stay locked up at home all the time, I plan to see my SIL every week and will carry on till my labour begins. Im sure you will have a great time . Im also symptom spotting again! . I had immense period pain cramps very low down last night, I didn’t time them but they were about 3 sets of them with 2-3 mins apart. One hit when I was walking to the toilet and it bend me in two, lucky after the 3 sets, it all calmed down but I had to stay still as a statue in bed or it would kick start again. Im also getting a lot of watery discharge so im freaking out by thinking it’s a water leak, I had my water measured on the scan on Tuesday and she said all perfect so it must be excessive discharge, also lost another bit of plug yesterday; very glamorous!

Kellie: Hope the light headedness passes! Maybe up your water intake and nibble on some food. Im always a fainter and know its not pleasant when they motion waves over you, but I quickly sit on the floor with a glass of water and drink it all till I feel safe enough to get back up.

Lolly: Happy 34 weeks! . Hope your mw apt goes well, see what they say about the pelvis pain, im not sure what they can do with that? Is it like SPD? My friend has that pretty bad and she was given crutches to help her move around. Let us know how it goes

AFM: Reimi is still really high up, I cant feel any pressure down below but get shed loads of uncomfort from ribs, maybe I should be happy it doesn’t feel like shes about to drop out .

xxx

 

[Sarahcake]

She may be high up now, but things can change soooo fast!
But yeah, the really low down sensation is certainly an interesting one...its uncomfortable, not painful as such unless you move to a bit of a dodgy position, but its wierd more than anything! That OMG he's gonna fall out feeling is just really strange lol

 

[ttc_lolly]

I'm not sure if it's SPD? When asked about how it feels, friends that have previously experienced SPD say that's what it more than likely is, however mine isn't that severe. I do still have 6 weeks to go though which is the worrying part

My baby's still high up at the minute, but I didn't drop until I was in labour with Amber really so not expecting her to go too low anytime soon. I hope she stays that way, my pelvis might snap in two if she decides to drop soon!

 

[time]

Thanks inoue yes I slept a lot better lastnight thanks and the pain is nowhere near as bad! I think it was coughing that did it as I had a cold last week!

Hope midwife recommends something today lauryn, I've had friends with spd and apparently it's horrendous does sound similar to what you have

 

[Sarahcake]

Really hope they can help Lauryn. Ive had SPD since 14 weeks and up until recently, I was doing alright. The last few weeks have been nasty though, feels like someones put on a steel toe cap shoe, and kicked me repeatedly in the crutch. At night, it feels like anything below my waist just locks up, like somethings out of joint and it hurts to move. Having to get Neil to help turn me over and sit me up at night now bless him.

If that sounds anything at all like what your going through I A) Really sympathise with you, its horrid and B) Would imagine that it is definately SPD thats flaring up now.

Poor thing
