My bump stayed SO small for the LONGEST, and I wanted a big bump... now I've got the big bump (well, I think its about normal to small size) and I wish it was like yours!! lol... Never satisfied....

 

[jms895]

I am really struggling with my bump and the pressure now

 

[blessed]

^^ understood! I have HORRIBLE mid-upper back pain every day... just a few more weeks!

 

[Fraggles]

Just out of hospital they thought was srom but thankfully waters are in tact, had a scan and trace, toco was hitting over 40 with some mild pains, they said if pains increase or start tightening more ive to go back in.

 

[Mom 2B]

I've been signed off work for a few weeks now due to stress at home (my mother is very ill and i have been taking care of her) and I was having some cramping. You can get signed off work for stress if its causing cramping and contractions. Wish you the best and good luck with that cow!

 

[LittleMrs]

Sympathy for all the ladies who are in pain. Me too. Still having some random cramps and now back ache too.

 

[beccybobeccy]

My SPD is ridiculous. At times I can barely move! I can't wait to start Mat Leave... SO JEALOUS JMS x

GGGGRRRRRRRRRR! I HATE MY HEAD OF FACULTY!!!!! STUPID WOMAN!!!!

So, evil Ofsted are in next week so uuber stress. To be honest I'm trying not to be bothered at all - I mean I'm the best part of 8 months pregnant, Ofsted stress is the last thing I need. And, to be typical, this afternoon I start with cramps - low down and more painful than I've had before but not crippling or anything, more of a constant gripe. So I text my midwife and she says 'go home, have a bath, a couple of paracetamol and go to bed -if it gets worse or continues across the weekend then phone triage. Make sure you have a relaxed weekend'. I decide to wait until the end of the day before going home and to have a word with my HOF. I tell her I've been having some pains but I'm sure it'll be fine and the midwife said to take it easy. I say that if I go into early labour she'll be the first to know. She snaps at me that it's far too early for that (remembering - woman with no children) I say, actually it's not. She says it is. I sigh, thinking, we've had this conversation before, you don't actually know how far along I am at all. considering you think I've got a couple of months to sort things out after xmas. I say to her, if I went into labour I'm far enough along that they wouldn't try and stop it. She says again it's too early (like repeating it will make her right). I decide I can't be arsed with the argument say, I'm sure it won't come to it anyway and say the midwife has told me to rest but my lesson plans will be done for Ofsted. She looks at me like I've just told her to kiss my arse and says 'I should THINK so'. And I think........ well a lot of 4 letter words along the lines of 'you know what *^% you, I'm gonna get signed off next week at my midwife appointment because I'm sick of your *&^%'.

Sorry, had to moan again about the evil cow. I won't have the balls to get signed off - I know I won't. I don't even know what I'd give as a reason if I did decide to be signed off. Midwife has offered but I'm really not sure on what grounds I could be signed off - unless 'stress caused by lack of compassion in middle management' is actually a reason. What do you all think?

I was also told today by a female colleague that when she has children she won't moan at all - she'll be so grateful. Oh, DO sod off!

Def get signed off, its not worth it!

30 days to goooooo!!!

Even less for you!!

Bloody ell your right!

Do we really have to start thinking about getting these Jellybeans out of us??
You two are scaring me... ssssh....lalalalala.... not listening *sticks fingers in ears*

lol its scary isnt it, its crept up on us, we can have a baby at any time, we should do a sweepstake as to who goes next, i reckon Naomi!

Fraggles hope all is ok?

Congrats 2016!

Smiffy.............Where are you? hope you are ok xxx

 

[sar35]

Been up half the night with tinnitus! beeping in my ear..... get up and google it and its a sign of high bp, open the window in the bedroom and I can hear a lorry reversing and I think its that lol, Im thinking ive got a medical condition and its someone's alarm or a lorry reversing....need to get some sleep!

 

[LittleMrs]

Hm, smiffy hasn't been on facebook since weds either. Who's her text buddy?

 

[jms895]

Morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have loads of snow yay!

 

[LittleMrs]

Just like you wanted, jms.

 

[smiffy85]

Good morning. Hope everyone is well. I've got up this morning to loads and loads of snow! My mum has joked that they'll have to come for me in a helicopter, if this is what its like in November I dread to think what January is going to be like out here!

I got a serious telling off from the consultant yesterday and now have to see them more often because I can't be trusted to stay at home!! I felt like a naughty child but I guess she does have a point and my cervix has shortened even more now. I just don't want to be up and down to the hospital all the time. What I hadn't realised is that women who go into early labour don't labour like a normal labour and it might not ever get to the contractions being unbearably uncomfortable before its too late to get to hospital and I also didn't realise that I might not break my waters until the baby is actually born either. So really there is no way of me knowing whether any regular contractions I have are the real thing or not.

On the positive side the growth scan couldn't have been more normal. All the measurements are about on the middle line on the growth charts. The lady gave me a picture but I have no idea what I'm looking at, she said it was the face but I can't see it!!

Has anyone got any suggestions of things to do to help us all get some sleep. I have had another rubbish night, tried a camomile tea at about 1am but that didn't really help. So now I'm looking for any suggestions no matter how daft I'm willing to try it just to be able to get a reasonable night for once.

Well I've rambled on for long enough now. Hope everyone else is having a good day so far.

Sleep isn't good for me anymore. Lots of tossing and turning. Hugs for you!

Steer clear of the camomile - apparently it can bring on contractions and if you're threatening early labour you def don't want that! x

Hi folks, how's everyone doing?! I've been MIA for weeks, sorry! It's nice to read back now and catch up on where everyone is-and feeling bumpy and a bit uncomfy seems to be a general theme!
I'm on leave from work now mainly because of pregnancy diabetes which has left me wiped. Had got to so use to feeling like crap though that that was the way it was supposed to be between now and...forever, starting to feel better now after a few days at home already.
I've been researching cloth nappies, does anyone have any experience or views on the following:
-terry nappies (by FAR the cheapest option!)
-bamboozle stretch
-little lamb
-bum genius
They're quite expensive so I want to make sure I get it right.
I spent yesterday and today washing and drying baby gros, all getting very exciting and scary.
Take care ladies and little ones!!

yep i agree with the bumpy and uncomfortable bit!!!


In other news (this will make more sense to those in the know - Smiffy, Sar, Milward .... prob a few others too - you'll know what I mean) school received THE call today. They're coming. Monday and Tuesday. Panic ensues but I'm not sure if I can be bothered to panic but I know I'll get it in the neck if I don't. Going to do some planning tonight, got the books in I need for marking and have told most of the kids I'll be teaching. If I plan today and tomorrow, do my normal marking load over the weekend then I don't think there's an awful lot more for me to be doing though I'll feel like there's something.

O hugs to you! we got the call at this time 2 years ago just as you go into christmas overdrive in a primary school!!! Crazy!

Is it normal to get diarrhea at the end of pregnancy? I can't remember getting this last time. I am usually constipated!

I had diarrhea at the end of my last pregnancy and I had it all day yesterday with really bad vomiting. I put it down to a bug yesterday as Im feeling better today. Spoke to Midwife yesterday as nothing was staying down and I was worried about bean as she wasnt as active. She advised me that some ladies experience diarrhea towards the end of the pregnancy as the body tries to clear itself out ready for labour. There is a d&v bug doing the rounds so it could be just that. Keep drinking plenty to replace what you are loosing.

I had a bug/food poisoning few weeks ago and rang emergency MW and she said as long as your drinking and replacing fluid its ok!

I cant believe I am about to do this as I dont like my bump pictures and no-one other than me normally gets to see them but I feel comfortable sharing them with you ladies.

Does the size of my bump look ok for 33 weeks? I took it earlier today, the horrible stretchies are from Phoebe's pregnancy Bump looks a little small to me, compared them to photos I took at this point with Phoebe and bump is lower and smaller. OH thinks it is because I am considerably lighter than I was last pregnancy. I have only put 8-10lb on tis pregnancy whereas I put 44lb at least on with Phoebe.

Lovely bumpage!

Thanks mom 2B, that has made me feel so much better. As a bigger lady I dont get cute little bumps or obvious ones. When I found out I was pregnant I had just lost all of my pregnancy weight (44lbs) and was on a mission to slim right down and get fit and healthy before trying to get pregnant again.

It would appear drastic weight loss increases my chances of getting pregnant. Ive got severe endometriosis and PCOS and this is our 5th pregnancy but only the 2nd to have got this far. After my 6 week postnatal check Im being referred back to gynae for a total hysterectomy including both ovaries.

I agree about the weight loss. I have said this lots of times but was on weight watchers when we found out about bean as he was a total surprise (i was convinced I was infertile after quite a few years of dodgy periods etc). My body just seemed to get to a point where it said 'ok your at the right weight to be preggers now'. And I've only put 7kg on yay!

Hey guys, whatever our bump size or shape we have to remember that they are our bumps to make the most of and our babies are inside
Saying that I thought it was about time I took my 32 week pic so here it is at 32+4.....definately grown!

Loving the growth susie!!

Well girlies, I'm on a roll with the camera tonight, decided to take some pics of the nursery. Still sewing tape on the curtains (by hand!) so decided to just take them without the curtains up. Couldn't wait any longer. No matress in the cot but maybe next week. Want it all looking good for baby shower on Monday, yay

Gorgeous nursery hun!

These are the original pics of the nursery we did for our 1st baby. Cant wait to get into our new house and do another nursery.

Awww so cute!

I have grown a little bit I think and measuring 35 weeks Baby is locked and loaded too

Looking good jade!

Hey ladies sorry not posting properly but being Thanksgiving we have people over. Just wanted to let you girls know that 2016 had her little boy today at 35+6. I know she wasnt really a regular poster in here but she was an original JB, so thought some of you might be interested to know.

I miss a few days and anothr jellybean pops out! Scary stuff!

Congratulations 2016, cant wait to hear the birth story, they get me all soppy.

Going to call mw in a bit. Movements have been getting less and less and it's worrying me.

hun!

What an arse!!! Get signed off and then you don't get the big O staring at you! I think the stress caused by a crappy manager is a perfectly valid reason to get a certificate!

Fraggles hope all is ok?

Congrats 2016!

Yay its the weekend and I have officialy started mat leave

Now I just need some snow!

Only 5 days till my mat leave wooooop!

Just out of hospital they thought was srom but thankfully waters are in tact, had a scan and trace, toco was hitting over 40 with some mild pains, they said if pains increase or start tightening more ive to go back in.

Erm what's srom????

Gonna do an update post now! Had loads to read back on though - you ladies can bloomin talk!!!!

xxxxx

 

[jms895]

Hi Smiffy! xx

 

[smiffy85]

Lol I got some of my quotage mixed up into others bt never mind. Took me ages to read back on what has been going on!

Firstly congrats to 2016! Not long till the baby stories will be rolling in.....eeeeek!!

In other news I apologise for not being around the past few days. The short version is I have had a lot on at work with a major decision involving my future career - OH doesn't want it broadcast on the net so I'm being cagey for a reason lol - but hopefully it is gonna turn out for the best somehow. So not been in a very happy place this week, both me and OH have been stressed out. But feeling better this wknd.

Bean has been very very active to the point where it looks like he is trying to escape through the 'sunroof' as OH calls it lol. Was at MW on thurs morning and all is well. Measuring at 34 as I should be and all tests are fine.

Been to see my friend who had he LO a few weeks ago too and he is such a gorgeous little thing. We had a cuddle and she answered a lot of my questions about the labour and stuff. She said it wasn't half as bad as she thought it was gonna be and even managed little sleeps in between contractions!!! She didn't have a epidural either, just gas and air plus some diamorphine and despite being sick, she still maintained it wasn't too bad. Gives me hope lol.

Woke up to snow this morning - woooop! Not leaving the house though lol think I will just look at the prettiness from inside. Too cold and slippy to venture out lol!!

On a very positive note 5 DAYS LEFT AT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

XXXXX
