Hi ladies - hope everyone has had a nice week-end

Happy 31 weeks Naomi!!

29 weeks for me tomorrow and only 6 weeks left at work

I can't believe I'm about to be 27 weeks on Tuesday. The anxiety attacks will come more often now that I'm going to be in my 3rd trimester.

Smiffy - it was me!!! I can now add my antenatal appointments to my list of mini-milestones but I'm cutting it a bit fine because they don't start until the first weekend in December. Had to go with paying for the NCT ones in the end because there weren't any local NHS ones in the evenings/weekends except a one-off on a Thursday and I really thought that we'd need more than one class.

I am also having weird movements at night - you know that kind of off-time frog leap move that babies do? It feels like she's doing that, a series of rapid, muffled kicks that are off-beat. I also have the prodding at the bottom of my uterus that gives me very little warning that I need to go to the loo NOW. Luckily this hasn't been happening at work because I've been making sure not to drink much when I'm there. I can just imagine the look on the bosses face if I leg it out of the classroom, leaving 30 puzzled 14 year olds in a room by themselves unsupervised (P45 anyone?).

I caught sight of myself in a mirror today - I look like a barrel. All the pregnant women that I see around and about all seem to be normal sized with tidy little bumps but I look like a barrel - I'm huge EVERYWHERE. I've always been a little chunky but I've never had a backside, ever - flat as a pancake (a bit annoying actually, trousers never stay up properly) and now my backside is round and HUGE! The strange thing is that I don't appear to weigh any different (well stranger than being a human barrel), I'm just swelling. Is there another pregnant lady who is less bump and more barrel? Seriously, is it just me?

Nope LittleMrs i AM a fatty! Alot in my legs is water retention its horrible

 

[Disneydancr]

hello ladies! Glad to hear all is going well. I've had tons of movement from my LO too! She won't let me sleep- I think she'll be a dancer when she comes into the world!

I keep hearing ppl say that 28 weeks is a huge milestone, but why? Anyone know?

Morning ladies! Up with the other half this morning, made his sandwiches and coffee like a good little girlfriend lol. On the negative side forgot I switched the heating to the 'off' setting yesterday as it was playing up and not switching off it's timed settings, so the house was amazingly freezing cold this morning! Bad times. Also was supposed to be meeting up with 2 uni friends this morning who have both recently had babies but one has cancelled cos her little boy is poorly so we're going to rearrange. Boo.

Contemplating either the ironing or getting some school work out the way this morning and then going to see a friend this afternoon. Can't stay in the house all day, I'll be bouncing off the walls with boredom when OH gets home from work cos I'v not had anyone to talk to all day.

Anyone else sleeping through at the mo? Last 3 nights I have?!?! It's weird although I have felt where beans head it and it appears to have swapped to my right side so not pressed on my bladder at the minute. Sure that will change lol. I've just been so used to getting up around 3-4 ish or more often. Not gonna complain as I'm sure some of you lovely ladies would love an unbroken nights sleep! Maybe my body is just drinking sleep at the mo?!?

30 weeks today! WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!! Time for a new pic!! xxxxxx

Its not just me then!! I was wondering about whether it was cos I know I don't have to get up this week too!! Relax is a word I am loving the sound of right now lol. Although saying that I was awake at 6am yesterday lol so I may be sleeping through but I'm waking up early lol!

Will take pic when I'm out of my PJ's lol xxxx

 

[jojo-m]

I don't think I've slept straight through, still seem to toss and turn a bit but not been up for the loo last few days in the night so feel a bit more rested. You ladies a week or so in front of me though so I'm hoping this is something I can look forward to! x

Hey Smiffy and Sar can you tell me little bean it's half term and if he could just rearrange himself away from my bladder then I may sleep all night too. I'm painting his room this half term so not much time for boredom, but have got the half term cold : (

 

[naomicourt]

Hi everyone glad to hear a lot of you are getting some rest.

I had my antenatal today and it went really well! Good blood pressure, no protein in urine, iron results are still high, baby's heart beat is fine and is now in a head down position. Yay!!

Oh and I am now measuring 1cm bigger then I should rather than 3cm!! Which is a relief.

Should be getting a scan soon so they know how big baby is and to check fluid levels as I had low fluid with Eloise.

Xx

Sar and Smiffy - def a half term thing, I woke up to go to the loo once and that was at the time my alarm usually goes off so I count that as sleeping through. Amazing what happens once the pressure is off, isn't it?

I can tell two different ways.... one by where her kicks are... and the second when she is flipping over IT HURTS... My belly will feel like its stretching sideways, I'll look down at my bump and see 2 humps.. One is hard and its her head, and the other is her rump! after about 30 seconds or so, the two humps will be gone, the stretching sideways pain is gone... and her kicks are either up top, or down bottom.

I'm trying to figure out how she has the room to move around like that!!
