***January Jellybeans***~ 35 BABY GIRLS & 23 BABY BOYS BORN ~***

[jojo-m]

I'm really looking forward to having the new baby, I do the newborn far better than I do pregnancy! I guess its easier second time round to not feel overwhelmed because its not such a big life change!

Disney your OH is so lovely. Can't imagine my DH making even half the effort!

[Mom 2B]

Well ladies I'm back from my u/s. I'm 32+1 today. Head measures 29+6, Leg measures 33, Belly measures 31+3, and weight was 3 lbs 12 oz. So long legs but everything else is small. He should weigh like 4.5 Lbs now. I dont remember if my daughter u/s was at 32 or 34 weeks but she weighed 4 Lbs. Ill have to look up to see when hers was. Also my fluid is kinda low. Not sure if thats a big concern or not. I go see my Dr on wednesday but now sureif he will have the results yet.

 

[Mom 2B]

So I just looked up when my daughters u/s were. At her 35 week u/s she weighed 4lbs. her head was 32+5 and belly was 28+6. I hope i get another u/s around 35 weeks so i can compare.

Hye ladies, hope everyone is ok, Not really much to tell over here, nothing going on, sleep still erratic - ended up with OH in spare room last night as he has a great knack of waiting until I've just fallen asleep (which takes well over an hour) and then jumps on the bed and wakes me up. Getting fed up and feeling totally useless as I can't do much around house which means hubby has to go to work, walk dog, cook tea and then spend weekend doing bits of housework I cant do (vacuuming, changing beds, etc), so feeling very guilty.

Hi Ladies I dont know if anyone else has seen this thread but I found this in the 3rd trimester. Looks like we may have our 6th jellybean soon. EmilyP83 was admitted to hospital yesterday at 33 +5 having contractions and 2cm dilated. Here is a link to the thread so that you can read all the details for yourselves.

https://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-third-trimester/479058-emilyp83-hospital.html

Fingers crossed EmilyP83 and her baby are ok.

Hope all is ok with Emily? xx

hope emilyp and baby are ok.
Im gonna hang about in here for a while til there are more babies, it feels a bit weird going to parenting but i suppose ill have to go there sooner or later, so many thoughts in my head at the moment, i suppose it will be good to get a journal to put them all in. we have been offered councilling for the birth but i think we will get over it.
Been to see Joe today and he isnt coping too well with the feeds so will go back to tube feeding but is off the jaundice lamp and in the other room so not high dependency, we were told that despite his weight he is still prem, so we have accetped that now.

Am gonna read now xx

Hey ladies! You've certainly been a very chatty group today so prepare for a bit of multi-quoting!

I was 26 when my first came. Oh was 36. I'll be 28 and he will be 38 when our boy gets here.
Ok so I. Heading home from hospital now. No infection and pain went away during my 4.5 hour sleep. Today is going to be a LONG day.

Glad you are ok Mom2B.

Lisa just noticed you are under 20 days!!!!

34 weeks for me today, look proper preggo now : )

Holy sh*t!!!! Its getting so close now!

Hey girls, its the afternoon here so prob nighttime for most of you. Sar glad you are able to go home and hopefully little joe will be joining you soon, love the name! Mom2B your lil gals bedroom is lovely!

Well I keep hoping something is going on down there but I'm pretty sure I'm reading way too much into everything now as I want it to happen so badly! Getting more CM than normal today and still had a tiny bit of spotting. I'm sure its all nothing though....can't help but get my hopes up though

Sounds very promising hun. Make sure you keep us updated. It's so nice to see some signs towards the end. I too have increased CM but no bleeding. Really hope we have our babies soon.

Full term today!!!!!! Wahoooooo!! Come on baby!!!!

Yey for full term naomi! It will be a race to finish line methinks! Not really any more signs today, spotting seems to have stopped so think that was def from internal. We'll see what doc says on Thursday.

Lisa you are getting lots of signs how exciting. Have you had the pineapple yet??

I have a bit of a question about BH too! Now this tended to happen a little when I had period pains but when I get the cramp like pain, by the time it gets down to bottom of the bump, it feels like tummy ache when you need the loo and generally I have to trump which is a bit embarassing!! I'm hoping i won't need to break wind everytime I have a contraction when it happens for real...........

hey Smiffy :wave: The pineapple I had has been eaten and bought some more yday. Prob not eating enough to do anything though...oh well.

I keep getting period type pains too but they are very brief, only last a few seconds and then go. Sometimes they do develop into tummy ache though and then either wind or a need for the loo

Hope Emilyp is ok, not read the post yet.

Well I just spent 2 1/2 hours on Moonpig ordering xmas cards for our family, and still have 2 left to do! I'm having a break now though! Watching Air Force One whilst hubby is making tuna melts for lunch, yum! Then gonna go for a walk with the pooch. I cant go far though, i get so achey after about 10 mins! Feel like a right old woman! Sleeping a lil better at the moment but we'll see if that lasts. Seem to have found a couple of sleeping positions that work, for an hour at least, then I have to rearrange the mound of pillows around me, go pee and then try and return to sleep! Anywa, hope everyone is well. Gonna go read about Emilyp and catch up on Sar's birth story.

Happy full term hun! x

Well I have my growth ultrasound tomorrow. Wish me luck for a big fat baby. He should be over 4 pounds by now.

Hope all went ok xx

I love my OH. I had a craving for teriyaki, so he's on his way through the rain to get me a teriyaki steak bowl. YUM! I offered to walk with him, but he doesn't want my cold to get worse. Isn't he the best?

Aww bless him!

Is anyone else started to get nervous about birth now?? It has just hit me this morning I will be full term in just over four weeks. arghhh

I am going to go back in my little bubble now and pretend it is not happening

Dont worry! Its a lovely experience hun just remember what its all for xx


oh my gosh YES!!! and because your bump buddy is in the hospital now I'm thinking things can happen ANY day and I'm not even mentally nor physically prepared for all this.

This is quite scary.. But we will ALL be okay.

Aww hubby has been so sweet today. He has been helping out so much and told me that I don't look pregnant at all from the back which made me feel so much better as I feel like an elephant at the moment!

I have been getting really sharp pains down below and a sort of burning stretching feeling. I wonder if my cervix is getting ready. I wish they would check at my appointments really just so I know something is going on but, they didn't check at all until I was a week over last time.
I can't remember getting these pains though so fingers crossed things are going right this time.

Hope LO comes soon hun xxx

Ipretti-lots of do you have other support where you are? All us gals at bnb are only a couple buttons away.

Laura-good luck at your appt today

I'm 35 weeks today eeekk!!!!!!

Yay Happy 35 weeks hun! xx

Have fun with your folks Smiffy, make sure to get spoiled

Had MW today and all is well....bump not engaged at all yet and measuring 35cm....new he had grown in last 10 days. Gonna post a piccy but not my tree I'm afraid, it's the one in the church foyer.

Lovely piccie xx

I'm really looking forward to having the new baby, I do the newborn far better than I do pregnancy! I guess its easier second time round to not feel overwhelmed because its not such a big life change!

Disney your OH is so lovely. Can't imagine my DH making even half the effort!

I feel the same this time so much more laid back and going with the flow xx

So I just looked up when my daughters u/s were. At her 35 week u/s she weighed 4lbs. her head was 32+5 and belly was 28+6. I hope i get another u/s around 35 weeks so i can compare.

hope all is well hun xx

I'm 35 weeks today eeekk!!!!!!

my parents are 30 minutes away, so I tend to spend the wknds with them, they've been a huge help. My mother came to my ultrasound when I found out I was having a girl and my nephew came to my last appointment. But again this appointment and hospital OB tour will be done alone.

Other than that, this forum is the only place I go too for advice or to vent and gain knowledge on random situations.

I love you girls!

 

[Disneydancr]

Oh my! I just can't respond to everyone's posts!

For those of you not feeling well,

I'm scared right along with all of you for impending birth. I'm not so scared about the actual labor, but whether I'm going to be a good mom and know how to take care of my little girl.

Yes, OHs are wonderful. Oh, and a teriyaki bowl is basically a chinese dish consisting of a bowl of sticky rice covered in chicken or steak cooked in teriyaki sauce (it's a type of sweet sauce.) I don't know why, but sweet meat sounded good to me last night. (and I had the leftovers for lunch today. Yum! (I know, the concept of leftovers is such an american thing- probably doesn't sound appetizing to you ladies in the UK.)

Argh! I'm sick of being sick! This cold has progressed to bronchitis. I called my doc and she said it's not going to hurt the baby at least... just have to focus on staying hydrated and not coughing too much as it agitates the uterus. I've been drinking SO MUCH orange juice- 2 litres a day! Hopefully that'll help with hydration and vitamin C.

Ok, going back to relax and sleep in bed- that's all I've been doing these last few days.

 

[proudestdad]

Hi everyone, I have finally been persuaded to post in here! I just wanted to say hi and mention that I am Mum2Be2011's OH. As and when baby Hayley decides to come out into the big bad world I might be the one that comes to let you all know (plus, by posting I get a link straight to this thread so I wont get confused and lost!!).

For anyone wondering, I was nervous about posting as you are all ladies talking about "girly" stuff, and I didn't want to put anyone off by adding a male vibe to the thread!!

Anyway, I'm off back to the safety and comfort of my Xbox now! Its like my own little comfort zone!

Hope all you ladies are doing well, and if you aren't then I hope you feel better soon!

 

[Mom 2B]

i pretty- Im speaking for everyone as im sure they all feel the same way.....we are glad we can be here for you!!!!

Proudest dad- pretty surprised to see an OH on here. Mine would never come on. Good for you. And glad you will be able to update us when LO gets here. Hope we dont scare you away with the grily stuff!!!! LOL


So ive done a little research about babys weight. Apparently 3lbs 12oz is a perfect weight for 32 weeks. Even thou my ticker says he sould be like 4.5 lbs.....weird.
Im a little concerned about his head being 2 weeks behind adn have no idea what this means. And im not sure how low my amnio fluid is or if i should be worried about it. I kinda hope they send me for another growth u/s at 35 weeks like with my daughter so i will know for sure. Other wise i wasted some money runningout and gtting newborn clothes and diapers.....hope i still have the reciept.

It will take quite a lot to scare me away, just don't take anything I say as offensive! It will all be meant in the "right" way, even though I realise us blokes have a nack for putting both feet in our mouths at once!

[Fraggles]

Disneydancr leftovers is quite normal here, as been for many many years.

Rubbish nights sleep here again, baby seems to be pushing my pelvis apart. Maybe he's engaging

 

[bekki_d18]

Right ladies I need you knowledge and giudance. I posted this in third tri but to no avail as of yet. I will just copy and paste it because I have had my nails done and typing is hard work at the moment lol. Hope somebody can help.


So for the last few weeks I have been having shooting pains in my foof, saw my Gp and he did a urine test which came back negative and then said maybe your further along than we thought or it could be "mechanical" his new favourite for saying "I don't have a clue".

Well just woke up, thanks insomnia, and went downstairs to make a drink. I could hardly get back up the stairs for the pain. It hurt so much. It is not my SPD a it is just like I am being stabbed in my foof. I only get relief from laying down but it is still niggling at me. Has anybody had this or know what it could be?

It was bearable the other week (and I have quite a good pain threshold) but now it is nearly bringing me to my knees

I thought I would reply to you because I have been having exactly the same pains. I was sent home from work 2 weeks ago cos of my pelvic pain and what I think is now SPD. I could barely walk. Since then, the pain has been changing and sometimes I simply get stuck on the spot cos of the shooting pains in my "foof". The other day I was walking up the hill to my house in the snow and I said to DH that "the baby is going to fall out" and I stopped at the side of the road and I honestly thought I wouldn't make it to the house.

I have since spoke to my SIL who had her baby last week. She says it sounds similar to the pains she was getting while the baby was engaging. In fact as I am typing the pains are coming back - feels like someone stabbing me in the you know what

Hope this helps

Thanks for your response. I know it is not my SPD as it is not my pelvis just my foof!!!

He was not engaged last week when we check but on Sunday night a thought he was going to be like superman and fly out of me and he was puching right down in my pubic area

It's strange how everyone worries if they will be a good mum or not. I'm sure you will be a fantastic mum, at the end of the day you can only do your best and what you feel is right.

I really fancy a teriyaki bowl now, it sounds delicious!

Sounds like he is a good weight hun. I wouldn't worry about the head measurement just yet as he still has lots of time to catch up and the measurements are not allways accurate anyway. Just hope you get to have another scan to put your mind at rest.

It does sound as though your SPD has got worse to me. It can start off as a dull ache and then progress to a stabbing pain and sometimes you can even feel it click or grind as you walk, especially up the stairs.

The only thing that you can do is to try and rest and when you go up the stairs, go up one step at a time. Mention it to your midwife as they may do some physio for you.

 

[smiffy85]

Yay for a man on our thread lol! Brave fella!

Has anyone else got crazy dense fog outside the house? I am sat in mums front room and its so foggy outside. Mental weather.

Don't know what to say today really, not a lot to report. Still up early today and coughing which is what woke me up. But feel almost back to normal now in terms of illness which is good. Did anyone watch Corrie last night? I don't normally watch but my sister (who doesn't normally watch either lol) wanted to see the 'big tram crash' episode! I quite enjoyed it in a morbid way and shall be watching again tonight.

Whats everyones plans today? Think me and mum are gonna do some baking this afternoon when she is back from work. I also need to order the last of my presents and if I can be bothered, go to sainsburys and buy the odd gift there. But my mum and dad are still surrounded with snow and thick ice so that might not be happening lol.

xxxxx

[millward329]

Hi proudest dad good to have you, we won't be put off.

Disney get well soon

Woke up to snow here in Lancaster just powder dust but still going. Got to wait in for my nursery chair to be delivered today. Friend round for tea later. Not much else to report really, thought there was more but baby brain having a fuzzy moment.

So just to say to those naughty LET YOUR MUMMIES SLEEP!
