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

[time]

Yeah I think ally, Kellie then the rest of us further towards the end of the month!!

 

[kellie_w]

Thank you ally! I think it's normal to feel how you do. I have started to feel more and more scared of things going wrong, from our previous births its no wonder! You will be fine though, and only 9 days to go!!

I'm going to be last, I can just feel it! I think Sarah or Lauryn are going to be first! X

 

[Sarahcake]

I think ally will be first followed closely by Kellie I recon!

After that, it's anyone's guess really, I'd like to be able to say me, but I just know ill still be sat here the day before my due date induction scoffing all the pineapple in the vicinity haha!

 

[ttc_lolly]

I thought I was going into labour last night at the firework display god, could you imagine!? It turns out it was just from all the walking but it scared me a little. I was having quite regular painful & intense "contractions" (didn't feel like BH!) and we had to leave not long after arriving. As soon as we got home I sat down and caught my breath and felt better, they eased off whilst having a hot bath so it was just a very scary false alarm no more walking for me!!

 

[Sarahcake]

Eek!! Yeah that would have scared the life out of me! Especially the not being home part!

Glad all calmed down when you got home. Those Braxton hicks can be a proper bugger, all the websites say that they are normally painless etc but every one I've experienced has hurt like hell! Lol

Ugh another night, another 3 hours sleep. This spd is bad nothing at all that I do now is helping and Neil is just pissing me off! He seems to think its all an easy fix, oh take paracetamol, oh get a hot water bottle there etc. I've been doing these things for weeks to no avail. But he will still suggest them every night and get on the defensive when I say it doesn't work - like I'm not doing my best to stop the pain etc. then it's the 'it's alright, it's only for another 3 weeks max' which yes, yes it is but 3 more weeks of this?! That thought depresses the shit out of me!

Lol sorry for the rant, I'm just very sleepy, and very tired! Looks like ill have to try and catch up with some sleep later on.

 

[ttc_lolly]

Ditto Sarah, I just can't sleep for the life of me. Pelvis is killing, back is sore and just general pregnancy insomnia. Just try catch up on your sleep later, that's what I'll be doing. We're off to the in-law's @ 1 but think I'll get a late morning nap in otherwise I'll be like a zombie for the rest of the day.

Forgot to say, I took a funny turn last night too came over all strange, thought I might faint. Had to hold on to OH and make our excuses to leave as didn't want to collapse or throw up in front of all of our friends pregnancy is so glam! Got the hospital on Monday for my 2hr monitoring sesh again and then seeing the consultant straight after so will mention it then.

 

[Sarahcake]

Yeah I think I will take a nap later on. We're shifting some stuff for friends around 1ish, and whilst I love her to bits, I'm just finding her mentally draining to be around currently so will defo need a sleep before then.

Ooo yeah make sure you do mention it, could be another attack of the blood pressure. If you feel ok now I wouldn't rush in to be seen as that will just result in you being stuck on monitors etc.

Isn't pregnancy just awesome eh! I'm never ever doing this again (she says now...) lol

 

[Scally]

Lauryn- my gosh about your false labour, that must have been scary! Sorry to hear about your turn too, hopefully you'll get checked out properly in hospital tomorrow and will hopefully put you on some meds.

Sarah- sorry to hear about your pain and insomnia- its all very well the men saying you only have to put up with it for another 3 weeks, but 3 weeks is a bloody long time when you are in so much pain! Huge hugs to you!

Hope you both manage to get a nap today xx

 

[Inoue]

Thought you were going to mess up my baby popping stats then Lolly . On a more serious note, I hope all is ok . Baby probably got quite upset at the sound of fireworks, plus with you being stood upright for quite sometime probably urged her on. Glad shes all calmed down now, get some rest today x

Sarah, your spd sounds horrid . Its difficult when your OH doesn't show as much care as you need, they'll throw you a hot water bottle and apparently that cures all everything... . 3 weeks will go quick, but when your in pain, it drags. Not much advise really but try and rest up and come on here to vent if needed x

 

[kellie_w]

Aww Sarah that really sucks what you are going through doesn't help when you have a man that doesn't understand. It's so frustrating in the last weeks when you want to sleep but can't. Give Neil a kick up the bum and try and get one sleep today

Lauryn, glad that last night turned out to be nothing, I still think you won't be much longer

Happy birthday to dave ally, hope you all have a great day. 8 days!!!

I have my surprise today, the one I been waiting ages for. Still think its a baby shower, but have this secret hope that my sister has flown over from Ireland. I am probably completely wrong! Also had a few really painful contractions, I get my hopes up then they stop for a few hours.

Hope you all having a great weekend! X

 

[ttc_lolly]

Managed to get back to sleep for a couple of hours but still knackered and so sore everywhere I don't think I'm going to go naturally anytime soon! Walking is just not my friend it's ok because I didn't like walking all that much anyway!!

Oooh Kellie, you're definitely going to go soon! I can feel it in my waters enjoy your surprise, can't wait to hear what it is!

 

[Sarahcake]

Well wasn't I a chirpy sod at 6am this morning haha! Sorry ladies!

Glad you managed to get some sleep in the end! I managed a few hours myself so I'm in a slightly more positive place now haha!

Happy birthday to dave Ally, hope he has a lovely day!

Kellie I can't wait to find out what your surprise is!! I hope you enjoy it whatever it is

Hope we are all alright besides sleepy and uncomfortable? Lol

 

[pops23]

Hi girls!

I am so with you in terms of lack of sleep and painfullness, in waking up and my hips and legs are in agony and I struggle to walk to the loo! And then really painful tightenings mean I can't lie on my side and then I can't get back to sleep, and lets not even get started on turning!

I'm going to be last, I just know it! Think I will be the last in my nct group as well, annoying!!

Sorry to hear you've been feeling rubbish Lauryn, maybe you just need to take it easy for a while and rest up

Hope everyone else is ok, Kellie enjoy your surprise! Xxx

 

[Scally]

Kellie- hope you have a great surprise, look forward to an update! Oooooh i wonder if you are starting labour!? cross your legs for 8 more days!!!! lol

Glad you both got some more sleep Lauryn and Sarah!

Pops- sorry you are having a hard time with pain and sleep too!

x

 

[time]

Oh no the no sleeping is no good! I've slept a lot better the last few nights, think I've just been so tired that even the terrible pains haven't woken me up! All the fireworks however lastnight and our dog crying until about 11.30 was pretty annoying!

Hope you're feeling better lauryn, I feel the same when I walk a bit too far and feel as though that could be it!! The light headedness is linked to bp isn't it.. But I always thought it was low bp so maybe it's because your high bp has come back down to normal? If that makes sense.

How exciting for today Kellie can't wait to hear what you've been upto!

Quick Q.. My next appointment is at 39+3 which is supposedly my 40 week appt because my midwife messed up all my apps weeks ago.. But does that mean I would be offered a sweep then or will I have to wait until 40+3!? Every area and midwife seems to have a different policy!

 

[pops23]

Good question! No idea, maybe give them a call and ask hun xx

 

[Inoue]

Time, I wouldn't of thought they would do the sweep, annoyingly as it is if there the ones that messed up your appts. My final appt is tue 27th (40+1) but they wont see me before the weekend for a sweep, even though it would only be two days out . I may be wrong and your mw/practice could be more lax but I wouldnt walk in expecting a sweep unless your v lucky x

 

[ttc_lolly]

Ta girls time, I thought light headedness was linked with low BP too, but I think the feeling faint and everything was just down to all the walking! I'm not the fittest of people anyway, so probably wasn't my best idea to trek across Watford and a huge park at 36w!

It does differ from area to area but the NICE guidelines are to not offer a sweep until you are overdue, so it's unlikely your MW will give you one but there's no harm in asking

 

[Scally]

Good morning!!!!!!! 7 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is my last calm Monday!!!!!!
Desparately trying to not catch Izzy's cold and conjunctivitis!!!! Bless her heart!

How is everyone?

x

 

[kellie_w]

Morning everyone! Sorry to hear izzy is sick ally, hope she gets well soon. Get on the orange juice and keep up your vitamin c. You can't catch it!

Time, I don't know nothing about sweeps, I'm guessing they wouldn't do one until after 40 weeks when you are overdue. I would definately ask, how annoying they have messed up your appointments. I won't get offered until 41 weeks, with second baby you don't get seen at 40 weeks so at my appointment today,I won't be seen again for 3 weeks if nothing happens. 3 weeks?! That's ages!!

My surprise was a baby shower, my mother in law and sister in laws arranged it and it was so beautiful! They put so much effort in, some real good games and lovely presents and sooooooo many cupcakes which gave me the worst heartburn EVER from eating so many! I'm so thankful to them for all they did, such a amazing day!

So excited for my check up today, hoping and hoping that baby is engaged now. No more pain since yesterday morning, which is good as I have to wait until next week for ally
