January Jellybeans 2013!...

My digestive system is out of whack. Whenever I need a BM I get nauseous and stomach cramps until I can go. Its horrible.

Oh no! That sounds awful! Any idea what is causing it? I hope it goes away soon!

I have no idea, its the second time this week though :/

So ladies is this normal:

I take a nap but I wake up hours later like 5 hours later I've never slept so much also I fall asleep with bh and wake up with bh I thought it only happened with walking and stuff like that??

@nikki

Maybe ask the doctor about it? It sounds awful to be dealing with. I do hope you feel better!

Went to dinner with FIL tonight and have had nothing but BH all night long. They keep coming faster and faster. Not painful but man is it taking my breath away. It seems like after I ate, I can't get a breath in with all the contractions. Thank goodness they weren't the painful ones or I couldn't have enjoyed my dinner.

BH can happen anytime. Mine happen when I'm sitting still so I'm sure they can happen while you are sleeping. Just your body preparing itself.

 

[Kaiecee]

Well they really suck

 

[sassy_mom]

Well they really suck

Yea. Mine make it a little hard to breathe. I'm not in any pain just need some oxygen. They are coming so quickly I can barely get a good breath in before the next one hits. I'm sitting in my recliner doing nothing and they are just rolling in.

 

[Betheney]

That was the first thing I noticed before getting a BH, the shortness of breath. I hated it! I was so sick of not being able to breathe.

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Yea i was standing for a while at hubbues x mas christmas party and the minute i sat diwn for dinner the bh's started and i coukdnt breathe either! They finally went away but now that im laying in bed, im getting them again lol... Almost done ladies!

Had a lovely night though!

 

[Kaiecee]

It's hard to get out of bed ad do anything I won't miss the end of pregnancy I feel stupid not being able to put my own socks on sometimes

 

[Nikkilewis14]

Thanks Lilah. It was so scary. She seems ok, doctors just checked her over and blood sugars, urine etc. have sent her home as cannot pinpoint it to anything, maybe she got up too quickly? Got to see GP Monday. Part of me would have thought they would have kept her in if they didn't know what caused it but they said the symptoms were not symptomatic of fits linked with brain function etc so think that's why she came home x

Oh i hope she is okay! If it wasnt a seizure, maybe she got up too fast, blood flow etc . Glad she is home though!

I can't believe it is a Sunday and I have been awake since 6.15am. Finally gave in and just got up. DH and I decided to swap sides of the bed yesterday so that I will be closer to the moses basket, but for some reason DHs side of the bed is just not comfortable. It has a giant dip where he lies (he's not particularly heavy) and it made it difficult for me to turn over. Plus now if I lie on my left side I am facing him instead of the edge of the bed and I'm finding that weird. Think I will get him to turn the mattress later to get rid of the dip and I guess the left side thing won't be an issue once baby is here. I cant wait to be able to lie on my back and stomach again!

UK ladies - I was just flicking through the Radio Times and noticed that there is a new series of One Born Every Minute starting on the 2 January. I wonder if I will have had baby by then or if I will be patiently waiting. DH doesn't understand why I would want to watch all that pain when I am about to go through it.

 

[Lilahbear]

Oh and I'm 37 weeks today! I am a bit confused about the 37/38 week thing. What is classed as full term in the UK? I meant to ask my midwife last week, but I forgot.

Dh brought me out to dinner tonight and being a "gentlemen" (never happens) he let me out of the truck near the exit of the parking garage while he parked so I only had to walk to the restaurant. Well he forgot where he parked so we were walking back and forth for at least a half hour trying to did the truck. I told him next time I'm not going to let him park. then I was sooo out of breath and he thought it was the funniest thing, I'm like dude you try carrying this extra weight around and on top of that I was having bh's and have been on bedrest for 14 weeks. So ya I'm a little out of shape!!

My mil and dh got into a little spat so not sure if my inlaws will stay or go home and honestly I couldn't care less which they decide, I just want a peaceful 10days or less and not the added stress. As it is this is day 3 that dd is sick, I'm praying she gets better quick and I don't get it. Worse.possible.timing.

Oh and my mother flys in later today so pretty sure there'll be more drama. I'm already thinking about kicking people out of the delivery room.

37 is full term in the US, not sure if its different in the UK.

 

[mellywelly]

Lilah, full term is the first day of week 37.

Sonia, hope your niece is ok, that must have been very scary both for her and those that saw it happen!

The party went really well, thanks for asking! There were 9 in the end, as one family couldn't come at the last minute and 1 just didn't turn up! It was enough for the bowling though, as party don't finish until 7.30, and all were completely shattered! I've now got the dilemma of do I let him open his presents or make him wait until his birthday?

 

[BlossomJ]

Just caught up - I haven't got time to reply to anything though probably won't for a couple of days.

Just wanted to say no one go into labour while I'm gone - I don't want to miss anything!

Yay, then I guess baby is full term from today!

Glad your sons birthday party went well!

I had a terrible night on Friday night. As well as frequent peeing and a nasty attack of reflux I had really sore hips on whatever side I was lying on so just could not get comfortable. Fortunately last night went much better (apart from 2 hourly toilet trips and needing to drink over a litre of water) as I folded an old sleeping bag and placed it so it was between my boobs and knees and that seemed to do the job.

Took Megan to see Santa yesterday. I really thought she'd cry and, though the others all did, she was very good. It was at a farm and she loved seeing the animals too. I LOVE this age.

I have also been wondering about swapping sides of the bed. I sleep on the left but the radiator is in the left and I don't want to put the Moses basket next to the radiator so means we will prob need to swap sides. I've always slept on the left so I ill find that really wierd.
I can't wait until the new series of one born every minute. Next time we watch it though we will be saying 'that happened to me' instead of 'that's going to happen to me'

 

[Soniamillie01]

Ah I didn't know there was a new series of one born every minute. Thanks for the heads up, it is sad that I've added it to my calendar? Lol! I hope this little one is here by then, the series starts on the due date so could be an interesting watch!

I too have been bouncing around on my gym ball. My midwife said it would help turn baby from back to back. He definitely seemed very active afterwards and we had some very awkward movements, so maybe he has? I'm going to keep using it daily now in the hope it may help bring labour on, nothing to lose really. I did notice I lost an awful lot of jelly like cm after bouncing on it. Could just be coincidence? I'm going to start up with a daily walk as well now that I am finished work

We're due to swap our room around a little to get Moses basket in and plan on doing it today whilst DH is here. I love my side of the bed but as DH works nights I tend to find myself head on his side body on mine and try to maintain this even when he is home poor man has to sleep in what space we have, I get the best night sleep in that position though.

I would love him here before Christmas

Is anyone else not having BH?
Also has everyone started massage? I keep meaning too, well DH does as I can't quite reach but never seem to remember
