Pretty sure I just lost another chunk of mucus plug... I'm hoping I get some good news about my progress at my OB appt tomorrow! I also have another growth scan and they'll decide if they want me to go early based on his size and my weight gain...

Anyone else not able to feel that they are hungry. I know when I'm hungry because the acid starts churning up but I don't actually feel that I am ready to eat anymore. Is that strange??

I just had a midwife appointment. Baby is fully engaged which surprised me since this is my third baby, I wasn't expecting him to engage until I'm in labour, she couldn't feel his head at all, she said he's well down. Fundal height 41cm. I'm having a lot of cramping.

Maybe things will be happening soon for you!!!!

Hey ladies! Been without a computer for a few days. Will be up and running and back on Bnb in no time!

I do have a question for women who have given birth.... Seems as though my pelvic floor is messssed up! I can't contract the muscles whatsoever. When I go to owe, it just dumps out without pushing or anything. I tried doing the "stop and go" exercise but I have absolutely no control and can't even stop the urinating. I try doing keel exercises and I can't do them anyone experience this? I'm freaking out that I won't get back to normal

No worries- I will!!

I have the opposite problem, I feel like I'm needing to eat constantly. Not that I'm particularly hungry, I just want to eat all the time. Its ridiculous.

It's pretty normal. Try going to the restroom more often so you don't have to go so badly. Also remember at this point that you are pretty swollen too, and that can make it kinda hard. Something I've noticed is if you place your hand on your girly bits, kinda like your trying to hold everything in, and then try your exorcises it can help. Dont worry just keep trying, and remember you can do it even if your not on the pot. Try to imagine your body doing them.

Thanks ladies. I'm hormonal too so I've been so upset about all the healing

When I had DD, I had the same problem. Give your body some time to heal. You can keep trying but no worries it is all normal. I don't remember how long it took but my body needed a little healing time and things got back to normal. Take it slow when things start righting themselves and you should be able to work those muscles back out.

My midwife said that but I have a hard time believing it, it just doesn't feel like it will happen soon.

Jaime I felt like that 1st time around. I think everything got so worn out when I was pushing her out that I couldn't even feel my pelvic floor to do the exercises for ages. It also meant that I had problems being able to too for the 1st week or so as there was nothing there to 'push with'. Did you have a lot of pushing during the birth?
This time around has been MUCH better as I didn't have to push for long at all and the pushes I did do were completely involuntary.
Hope you feel things improving soon. x

 

[darkstar]

Its definitely normal Jaime. Sometimes you feel like things will never be right down there again but slowly and gradually it improves. I remember mine used to feel heavy and out of my control, like my whole foof was going to fall out on the floor but it never did :-D
