JMS i was the same, tightnings every 3mins (like last time) for about 3hours, wasnt sure what to do, now it feels like ive been punched in the stomach and winded! Does that mean baby has changed position? Oh and the palpatations too!

Am getting them again now, and the palpitations yes HATE IT its horrible. Think I have an irritable uterus again, had this with Caine., Knackered now and know its gonna keep me up all night again

 

[jms895]

Happy 30 weeks Mom2B

 

[sar35]

jms sorry about the sad news x

 

[Mom 2B]

So the name debate has finally started! OH didn't freak out or anything. I dont really know why i was so afraid to tell him I dont like the name he picked. He doesn't like my name choice but ill get over it....lol He mentioned another name he likes but I dont. So im at square one...making lists and showing him. Im excited. he did like one of the names on my list but its not a top 5 choice of mine. But atleast we have one we agree on!!!!!

Hey girls! Had a reasonable night's sleep last night and felt a bit better this morning, had horrible dreams about my doggy though Just dusted and done some filing and my hip is killing me now! I'm so rubbish! Hubby had to do vacuuming and will have to clean baths for me, after he's played on COD a bit of course!

So we had a shocking night, Caine coughing, phone call at 1am Andy grandad died

And I thought I was in labour pains every 5 mins for about 3 hours bad enough to keep me awake but not painful enough for me to go hospital, figured it must have been really bad hicks, it was horrible. Am so knackered!

Sorry you had such a bad night hun, and sorry to hear your sad news.

Jms, sorry about the death in your family How scary to think those contractions could have actually been the real deal. Soon that is what we're going to be talking about on this thread. One after the other going into labour As long as it's not me, baby mustn't think she's coming before my caesar date!!!!

The december dreamers thread is starting to get all about births now! They've had 10 I think so far!

Not a good day for me. had a contraction in the shower this morning and ever since have had a really painful tight bump which doesn't seem to be shifting whatever I do! I'm not sure if baby is being pushed down in my pelvis as it feels very sore down below as well. I hope it eases tomorrow.

I went to see my parents this afternoon and was a bit annoyed actually as the first thing they said was my goodness you are huge! Get the camera! It made me feel like some kind of freak show.

Naomi, sorry you've not had a good day I'm getting quite uncomfy down there now and feeling a lot of pressure and pains. Bump is really firm now too.

Mom 2B glad OH was ok about your feelings on the name. I'm sure he wouldnt want your LO to be called something you didnt like so glad you spoek to him. And now the fun begins on choosing a name! We have a shortlist, but I'm one for picking a name when I see her so OH refuses to make a final decision until she's born as he knows I'm likely to change my mind!

Supposed to be packing my hospital bag today but for some reason i just cant be bothered. OH is also supposed to be trying the car seat in the car, but alas the xbox has won!

 

[jms895]

Damn the Xbox!

 

[millward329]

meh where did all those stretchies come from? Just spotted them all in the mirror!

 

[hodbert]

Boo for stretchies! I made it all this time then the other day hubby very kindly spotted some for me. Cranking up the bio oil!!

I'm hungry....what to eat....

 

[sar35]

Im up at stupid o'clock again, starving! Feels like im back in 1st tri, hungry then can't eat or can't face dinner then half an hour later im hungry again.
Don't eat properly during the day but I think thats cos my body clock is messed up.
Got hospital appt tomorrow, trying not to get my hopes up but im hoping things have moved as I'm sure baby has changed position... we'll see!

JMS and Naomi, how are you today, how is everyone else today ?

 

[LittleMrs]

Woke up at 6am after not getting to sleep until after half 1. Off to work an a literacy meeting tonight. The problem with joining additional activities at work is it's like the flamin' mafia - you just can't get out once you're in. Going to speak to my head of dept and see if I can take a sabbatical from the literacy working group until after mat leave. However, in the classic style of the woman who has had such gems to share as 'you'll have plenty of time to sleep when you're on leave' and 'can I have an additional 20 page report from you by December 6th' I'm thinking this will just be a further exercise in futility. Wish me luck (and patience).

 

[hodbert]

Nearly midnight and I can't sleep, dammit! Was falling asleep on the sofa at 9pm, but the minute I go to bed I'm wide awake! That and for some reason I get mega thirsty in bed, which means I constantly need to loo! Ok baby, you've got 2 more weeks then its out time!!

lol then you will have even less sleep

Had my first hormonal outburst today im so annoyed, my son is 15 and has special needs so gets a taxi to school with a guide (escort), they park outside my house on a main road and there is enough room for cars to go around them, also there are double yellow lines they could park on out of the way. The guide starts heckling at us to hurry up and the driver toots his horn. He is usually just putting his shoes on and the most they have to wait is up to 1-2mins, not even that long, he is normally at the door ready and waiting and she sits on her fat arse in the back of the taxi shouting at him to hurry up, how much faster does she want him to be ffs! I did shout at them to eff off this morning cos i was so annoyed and ive sent the driver a fairly polite but to the point text. Wonder what the response will be! Its been winding me up for ages and ages now, im glad i said something as i would be mad all day.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

JMS and Naomi, how are you today, how is everyone else today ?

I hope your appointment goes well.

I actually got quite a good nights sleep and the tightenings went away once I was laying on my side in bed. Now I am up and moving about they are slowly coming back. I have got to walk to the shop soon as well as we have no bread for lunch. I really can't face it!

Aww I know how you feel hun. I have had enough now.I can't wait to be comfortable in bed again, actually I can't wait to be comfortable per se! I think every part of my body aches now.


Has anybody else got any appointments coming up? I have got my appointment with consultant on Wednesday. I can't wait to speak to him about everything and hopefully find out if baby is engaged yet.

 

[jms895]

Sar thanks for asking, today i was also up at 5am! Am sick of the no sleep malarky now! Then baby comes and you still get no sleep

Have a bit of the runs today, am sure baby is gonna come early

How is everyone else?

 

[sar35]

oooooooooooh errrrrr so many pains and things, its scary isnt it, our babies can come at any time cant they!

 

[emilyp83]

Grrrrrr! Not a happy bunny this morning. Have dragged myself out of bed after another crappy nights sleep interrupted by baby wriggling, BHs and OH snoring! I have however come up with an ingenious way of stopping him snoring and benefiting myself at the same time. I have to keep him on his side coz he snores if he rolls onto his back so I just use him as a pillow behind my back which also stops me rolling into an uncomfy position and also gives me loads of room for pillows between my knees and under my bump. Result!!!

Well after dragging myself downstairs I find he has used the rest of the milk so no cup of tea for me

Feel very hormonal, weepy and tired today. Might just curl up on the sofa and watch junk on tv.....

I'm looking forward to my appointment with the consultant and scan on wednesday though. Will be nice to see baby bump again and put my mind at rest that everything is ok still.

Have a good day everyone xxxxx

 

[millward329]

Good luck Tracy

Totally get the lack of sleep business, maybe it's not just the emotional stress after all with so many of us not sleeping. I'm well tired but got antenatal this afternoon.

 

[LittleMrs]

Yup, am so sick of lack of sleep. Emily, sometimes no milk is all it takes to make me cry for hours.

Been told I can leave the literacy group. Woo hoo. X
