The staff at the hospital were brilliant. So nice and not once made me feel silly. One midwife even rang me before we went to check I was ok and if we were still going in.

Baby is fine thankfully! They listened to his heartbeat, took all my obs, measured my bump (measuring bang on) etc and everything was fine. They've had to send my urine away though as it was 1+ protein and 1+ Leukocytes. They've said to keep an eye his movements and if they reduce anymore to go back and they will scan me

 

[sethsmummy]

thats fantastic hun! did they give you any anti-biotics to be on the safe side? thats what the gp did with me the other week xx

 

[brunettebimbo]

No they just took my number and said they would contact me with the results if something came back.

 

[sethsmummy]

hope they dont mess you around. Id have thought theyd give you something just incase since your already in pain. Fx you dont get any more episodes of reduced movements xx

I have to go to the Dr's today to find out if there's anything I can take for pain. I'm having such a crappy time of pregnancy, getting none stop headaches, my back hurts, my throat is so dry it's raw and sore, I'm bunged up and tired. My back is the worse though, I have three issues with it and the one that's playing up is postherpetic neuralgia from when I had shingles Xmas 2008 I think the nerves around where I had the shingles have been damaged and they are now killing me, I did a night shift last night and although I was shattered I couldn't sleep because of the pain. When one back issue flares up they all seem to join in, it took over 18 months to get it under control last time and I ended up on pain relief patches that pumped very strong painkillers into me 24/7 I'm fed up now

 

[sethsmummy]

aww hun im so sorry your in so much pain xxx

 

[brunettebimbo]

Hope you get sorted!

Hi ladies hope you're all well!

BB glad everything was fine with little man that's great they reassured you and observed him at the hospital

I was 25w on Monday and realisation is sinking in that this baby is coming soon! It's DD1's birthday on Saturday, then my 3d scan and growth scan in October, DD2's birthday in November, Xmas in December and then January... We are having babies!!! I feel so unprepared!

Had my MW appt today and have traces of leukocytes so possible UTI. I'm also measuring 27w, but measured ahead with both of my girls so not worried. I have my additional growth scans anyway so sure all will be fine! My friend had her baby on Sunday, he was 4 weeks early so big surprise. He is just the cutest and I'm so broody. LOVE that new baby smell!

Ca- I love the Caden! I find it unisex though and would love to name one of my twins that, but dh doesn't fancy it so much I would spell it Kaiden for a girly

Brunette- glad all went well at the hospital! At least you know now and I'm sure you're more at ease that you know you can go back if you feel you need to?!

Itsnowmyturn- sorry your in such pain hun! My throat is killing me as well! Its so dry and itchy and just doesn't feel nice! I thought it was only me, lol! I asked my doc yesterday about what I could use for my back and all he said was paracetemol(sp?), but that's here where I live anyway or I should see a chiropractor! But I've decided against the meds and chiropractor although my pain in my back is real bad, I'd rather just deal with it! I hope yours eases up coz I know how sore it is!

Afm- since learning that my one twin is smaller than the other, she's been kicking non stop! Its like she wants me to know that size doesn't matter,lol! I'm not sure if I mentioned this in my last post about my scan yesterday, but my doc said that my one placenta is at the back and the other is in the front.

Which is the one where you won't feel kicks as much, front or back?

 

[ttc_lolly]

Wildchic, it's an anterior placenta (on the front) where you won't feel much kicks and nudges

 

[wildchic]

Wildchic, it's an anterior placenta (on the front) where you won't feel much kicks and nudges

Oh wow, thanks! I thought it was the other way around, seeing that if its in front you would feel it more and of course if to the back, it couldn't be felt. Thanks again lolly!

I had leukocytes in mine today too and protein. The sample is being sent away.

It's mad isn't it, it's not that far now! Tristan has a party in October, DH's sons birthday is the 9th, then Tristans birthday and party on the 18th, he then has another party at the beginning of November, DH's other son on 18th November then it's maternity leave, Christmas, New Year then baby is due! I've also got a growth scan on 23rd October and another 2 at 4 weekly intervals after than and my routine midwife appointments! Busy busy busy!

Wildchic I have been given capsaicin cream for my back but that's only for the nerve damage part of.it, other things I'm doing is sitting on a massive gym ball so my back is getting stronger by the constant readjustments u make to keep urself up right, iv bought an upper back support that has little magnet type things going down the top half of the spine and it pulls ur shoulders back so ur less likely to be slouching. I'm also going to dig my tens machine out and start using that again. Just trying as much as I can before going into the Dr's and trying more hardcore stuff. The Dr was concerned I might have shingles again but as there's no rash she thinks it's probably just nerve damage or scar tissue from the last time.
Iv gota say I'm really not enjoying being pregnant and this was the bit I was really looking forward to, growing a person inside me should be the most amazing thing to experience ever, but right now it's not

Hello ladies I have been MIA for awhile but had some time today to pop in and say hello! I hope everyone is doing great!

We are at 25 weeks today, yay! I never thought we would make it thus far but we are over the moon excited. Saw baby girl on ultrasound last Wednesday and she would not stay still lol. She moves a lot. I think she will be a ninja!

Everything seems to be running smoothly so far. We are moving next month so its been quite hectic around here. We have not done any baby shopping as of yet. We did, however, finally decide on our little warriors name

 

[Littleluce83]

Hi all. I finally have all of my GD paraphernalia. I'm checking my blood sugar 3-4 times a day and have medical appointments every two weeks with the diabetes team. Emma is now going to be a December baby rather than a January baby as they'll want to induce at 38 or 39 weeks. Having severe probs getting enough blood out of my fingers though grrrr xxxx

 

[buddyIV]

Hi everyone! I've not been on for ages as we switched internet provider; its nice being away from screens but I've missed hearing how you all are!

Congrats to everyone hitting the V-Day milestone (only another 9 days for me...not that I'm counting...).

Sorry you're having such a rough time with your back myturn, and I hope it gets better asap so you can enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.

Hope the blood draws get a bit easier littleluce! It can't be nice having to do that all the time! How are you feeling about going in at 38/39 weeks? Maybe you'll be the first of us to meet your baby! X

As for me, all is going beautifully normal! A few minor discomforts but nothing I can't handle (weird nerve stuff in my leg caused by growing bump and a low snuggling baby!). After a lot of issues with my previous pregnancy with DS its absolutely amazing to experience some normality! I feel very blessed right now, and just hope it continues right through the birth January. I'm starting to come round to the idea of trying for another natural delivery, but definitely have to work through some stuff first. I've been referred to a birth trauma consultant who also specialises in hypnobirthing, so I'm really hopeful that will help a lot. Does anyone have any experience with hypnobirthing?

 

[itsnowmyturn]

I want to try hypnobirthing (called natal hypnotherapy in the UK) I just want to do the preparation part of it but not bother with taking music and all that in, I want to be able to work through it in my own way

 

[Izzie74]

Hi all. Been feeling movements a lot lately. So cool!

Scared DH to death last night by leaping out of bed screaming at 1am. Such bad calf cramp, but of course he wasn't to know that. Has happened several times now in same leg. Anyone have any ideas why it would start now and how to stop it?

 

[itsnowmyturn]

I would love to wake up n leap out of bed but that would mean sleeping first
Feeling emotional, tired, sick, achey and fed up of having bloody headaches
