*** January Jellybeans 2015 *** - join & chat here :) 132 so far!

[SCgirl]

I had my first physical therapy appointment today... turns out a number of my issues are because I have incredibly weak pelvic floor muscles (at least that's what's being worked on first). We'll see how it goes in the upcoming weeks- I have some "exercises" to do, and a long lists of dos and don'ts as far as moving/lifting/standing. Also have been told to wear a belly support, which I started today, and I think it's actually helping!

In the last 2 days, people have started coming up to me asking when I'm due (these are people I've been around daily for weeks now)- and are shocked when I say January. I've been told a few times since yesterday that I'm going to have a big baby, and that I look further along. No clue where it's all coming from...

Oh yeah SM- I bought some cheap bras on Sat because I thought I needed something with more support. I realized that my 36B had been rendered useless (as in I stretched them out to the point of 0 support without noticing), and bought a 38C and a 38D. I don't think I look close to that size, but that's what fit... in a bit of shock that I own a D-cup...

Scgirl I also have terrible pelvic floor muscles and really should do the exercises more than I do. I have a physio apt for my back next week so hopefully they will be able to help with that.

 

[Maisypie]

anyone having back issues?? I have never had any issues with my back but I am pretty sure I am carrying in my back as it hurts all the time. I haven't gained a lot of weight (about 7 lbs) but I cannot find a comfortable position. Any advice would help.

 

[brunettebimbo]

My back hurts in bed. I'm really struggling to get comfortable at night!

 

[ab75]

I also get funny looks when I say I am not due til January.

Happy V day maisypie.

My back is ok but my pelvis is killing me by the end of the day, feel like someone has kicked me in my lady bits!

 

[ab75]

24 week bump xx

 

[brunettebimbo]

Looking lovely

 

[wildchic]

Ab75- nice bump hun!

I too am suffering from pelvic & back pain!
I have no idea what to use/do to ease the pain,so I just carry on with it. I'll bring it up with my next obgyn appointment.

I hope it goes away coz we all quite early still! I can only imagine how bad it will feel closer to the end!

 

[ab75]

I bought a bump support band from mothercare which helps with the bump/back/hip pain but not with the splitting pelvis feeling in my pubic bone. I had it with dd2, couldn't walk any distance by the end xx

 

[wildchic]

I've got a support band, but the thing is, when I have it on and I eat, I get extremely bloated! It stretches from the top of my tummy, right to the bottom and its the part on top that I think is the problem!

 

[ab75]

I can only wear mine if I am walking about. Too uncomfortable if I wear it just sitting around, feels to tight then. Xx

 

[brunettebimbo]

Mine was just like a wrestling belt that sits under your bump.

Anyone else hit ridiculously tired again? I feel asleep at 7.45pm last night. It's 4.45pm now and I could honestly go to bed! I need to find some motivation to go and make tea!

ME ME ME!! But I'm anemic again...so that's probably my issue. Sleep/rest as much as you can BB.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I wish it was that easy. I feel like a shit Mum because I'm not going as much because I'm so tired That and being a Dental nurse, whilst short staffed is hard! The first trimester tiredness passed for a bit so hopefully this will too. Maybe just a growth spurt!

 

[wifey2013]

My ticker is off by 1 day, they moved me ahead at my last ultrasound by a day, but told me to keep the same due date. Today is officially V Day for us! Such an exciting milestone to hit! I can't believe how fast time is going, I feel like it was just a few days ago I was hitting the halfway mark at 20 weeks and now I'm 24 weeks.

In other news, I have my test for GD on Monday, not looking forward to the orangy juice. Bleh!

 

[ab75]

Happy V day wifey and good luck with your GD test xx

 

[Luvspnk31]

I've been really tired again, but could be cause I'm not sleeping well. Ive been having some nausea again too. Fortunately, not horrible, mostly just annoying !!

Yay for v-day!!!

 

[0203]

It's my v day too it's amazing! Congratulations to all the other ladies, look how far along our tickers are too!

I am struggling with be it tired but I think a lot of it is because my work has been horrendous

Today I was in the bath and baby was kicking a lot and bump was moving tiny amounts, barely visible amounts but definitely moving

 

[Breeelizabeth]

Congrats ladies! It's so wonderful that you've reached V-Day!!

 

[hopeful2012]

Mine is moving so much now, she wouldn't stop last night. I'm tired again now. My sweet girl just finished 10 days of amoxicillin on Sunday and now she has a 103 fever and is clingy. I put in a call to the MD and awaiting a return call. I just wish we could all get to feeling better
