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

[pops23]

Probably is SPD Lauryn, but as we didn't get it until later on it probably won't get too bad, as in crutches bad, it's bloody painful but apart from a few exercises I think we just need to suck it up! Rubbish though it is

Had a couple of BH earlier, the first ones I noticed!! Bit weird really.. Xx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Yeh the MW said it's mild SPD and will probably get worse but I'm lucky I got it late on. I don't feel so bloody lucky my appointment was fine overall though, BP was a bit higher than normal but not in a dangerous range so she was happy with that. Measuring spot on too, and as she was measuring me she said I was having a BH. I couldn't feel it though, but she said that's normal. Next appt is at 36w with the consultant at the hospital now x

 

[Sarahcake]

Lucky is probably not the word I would of used! But I see what she means, least its only now in the final stretch rather than all the way through I guess. Has she referred you for physio or anything or is it not really worthwhile now?

Glad the rest of your appointment went well

 

[ttc_lolly]

Well to be honest I completely forgot how much bloody pain I'm in during the night so it didn't seem that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things so I just left it at that! Now I'm back home and it's hurting like a motherfunker I'll live though!

 

[Scally]

Good morning!

How is everyone?

Inoue- what was the plug like that you lost? Was it like when you bled a bit?
Lauryn- that sucks about the SPD i hardly call it lucky, you are still going to suffer for a few weeks.
Kellie and Time- hows your dizziness today?
Time- Any luck with the car?

Uma Thurmans name is insane! Why would you? Poor thing!

[ttc_lolly]

Morning

Yep I wouldn't call it lucky either Had another awful night, had to miss Amber's ballet this morning because I just hadn't had any sleep and could not get out of bed! Going to take her swimming later again though, as that helped so much before x

 

[Scally]

Awww hun, that really sucks! Hopefully the swimming will help later!

I need to have a rant! I work one day a week on a Saturday, it gives us much needed money, Dave gets to have a daddy day with Izzy (and with new baby when she arrives), it really does him good and them. I plan on having about 3 months off maternity as its such a small company i cant expect the other staff to cover me for long- ideally i am hoping to not go back and find a job closer to home, but i am not hopeful but will keep an eye out.
Dave said to his mum last night about when i was planning on going back and she said "does she not want to spend time with the baby"???????!!!!!!!!!!! I am fuming!!!! I work one day a sodding week, we NEED the money that i bring in! She's making out that i dont want to spend time with my baby- if we could afford it i'd love to give up working there but if i didnt we wouldnt be able to afford christmas, trips to them etc!!!! She's so against mums working- but how dare she judge me for working one day a week!!!!! I have never said anything bad to him about his family (and believe me i could have before now) but i ranted so much when he came off the phone to her!!!!!
x

 

[ttc_lolly]

OMG no way one day a week is hardly not seeing your baby!! Some MIL's are crazy. I would take no notice, in fact I would rub it in and mention your return to work at every possible oppurtunity!

 

[Sarahcake]

Holy crap she's like that about 1 day a week?! That's insane!!! 1 day is nothing in the grand scheme of things really and like you said, is actually really nice for dave as he gets to spend some time with both of them by himself doing daddy things which I think is awesome!

I don't blame you for being angry, that's really shit of her to say. She would hate me, I'm looking at going back to work at a care home around the same kinda time and do 2-3 night shifts a week as we could really do with the money.

Try your best to ignore her

As for me, I'm currently still in bed, how lazy am I eh not slept at all in the last 2 days so trying to catch up on some sleep.

 

[kellie_w]

Rant away ally, I would be so cross if my mil said something like that! Seriously, anyone would think you we're working away all week! If she's so against it, tell her she can pay for your Christmas, trips etc! pay no attention, you are doing what's best for your family and I think it's lovely that you give dave a day to bond with your children. Happy 36 weeks btw!

Aww Lauryn, I feel so sorry for you I really hope the swimming helps, must absolutely suck being in so much pain. I get days were it feels like a ripping pain inbetween the tops of legs, I can't imagine going through that pain everyday like you.

 

[Sarahcake]

Ooo yes, happy 36 weeks! I didn't spot this before

 

[kellie_w]

Ohh Sarah, you remind me of my first pregnancy, I couldn't sleep at night so would generally sleep 6am til lunch. It was amazing! Now 6am is my get up.... How things have changed! ,make the most of every lay in you can get now! I'm still cross about your health visitor, it's really played on my mind and fills me with rage each time I think about it! X

 

[pops23]

Ally that is nuts, I would be furious!! I run my own business and am hardly taking off any time, I will be taking the baby with me but it's hardly quality time. One day a week when you are with the kids all the time, nuts!!!

I slept okish last night but hubs couldn't sleep and he kept pushing his hand under my pillow, so annoying and no idea why, bloody men!! maybe it could have been a good sleep otherwise! xxx

 

[ttc_lolly]

Oooh happy 36 weeks Ally! One more until term

Sarah, you stay in bed and get as much sleep in now as you can you won't be able to for much longer! I would love to get a little snooze in later today, but Amber has decided she doesn't need a nap anymore over these past few weeks I think she's doing it on purpose!

Cheers Kellie it's just strange how it came on so quickly. I have had such a great pregnancy and was not expecting this. I was so happy to just keep her in there baking for as long as poss but now I'd be more than pleased if she popped out at 37w on the dot!!

 

[Scally]

Thank you for letting me rant! I think Dave thought i was being a bit hormonal about it!

And yay for 36 weeks!!!!!! This is my big week- consultant appointment Tuesday FINALLY!!!!!

Sarah- stay in bed for as long as possible, try and get some sleep!

Oh no Lauryn about Amber not napping anymore! Izzy does most days but only if i tire her out loads first which i am finding harder and harder to do!

Pops- alot of things my hubby does in his sleep winds me up! lol

Kellie- how are you feeling today with the dizziness? Hows your OH feeling now?

x

 

[time]

Oh no lauryn you poor thing! Hopefully the swimming will help! Get lots of rest too.

Happy 36 weeks ally! I would be very mad at mil for that comment, so ridiculous 1 day a week is nothing and it's nice for the girls to have quality time with dad. I will be back at work a few days a week after about a month to sort things out, baby will be with me as its my own business but as pops said that doesn't mean it's quality time with baby, and eventually me and hubby will be doing half days at work each so it will work out I'm away from baby 4 mornings or afternoons a week. We don't have much choice its better than her being in nursery from 3 months old like some poor parents have to do!!

Been at midwifes this morning everything absolutely fine! Can finally explain the not being able to walk/cross my legs the last few days now too as baby is already 2/5 engaged!!!! I was horrified! Does anyone know if this means she could come early? Midwife said it doesn't normally engage so quick and early which panicked me!

 

[Scally]

Time- glad to hear your appointment went well. Apparently first babies engage early, wonder why your MW said they dont? My little madam was engaged by that much at my last app x

 

[time]

Oh And we are now going to see the new car tonight as we decided to get the mini valeted and cleaned up so we get the most we can part x. Hopefully won't lose too much!

 

[time]

Oh good ally!! Yeah I thought first babies did I wonder why she said it doesn't happen that quick!!

 

[Sarahcake]

Im awake now, hip cramped up lol Feeling a bit more refreshed for having that couple of hours extra My body clock is set to early shifts - so around 6-7am, so its rare that I can sleep past that. Must have needed it!

Kellie, your not the only one. Im still annoyed but Neil is fuming still and is making a point of being here for her next visit. He takes a lot less crap than I do so will probably end up asking her to leave if she gets funny.

Pops, my Neil does that all the time! End up with a lump of arm under my neck so by the time ive gathered enough pillows beneeth my head to negate that, its like im sleeping with my neck at a 90 degree angle! Mmmmm Comfort!

Lauryn, I really didnt know that it could just appear one day, must be awful to just suddenly get that and think erm, what the hell is this?! I remember mine came on gradually, I think I would break down at a sudden onset of it

Ahhhh Ally! Is this where you find out dates and specifics regarding your C-section? How exciting!! Cant wait to see what they say to you on tuesday now! Ive got my 36 week growth scan and consultant appointment monday, ill be 35 + 4 though as they couldnt get me in for 36 weeks at all...hope that doesnt effect his decision on weather to induce or not... :S

So glad your appointment went well Time! Logan is 3/5th engaged now and started to engage early too. Apparently its nothing to worry about, just a case of first babies apparently like to get themself into position earlier, so they are ready for labour. Doesnt mean they will come early though so dont worry
