Hi ladies,

I am feeling better today, still a bit sore but not too bad!! Thought I'd take the day off work anyway - I havent milked this pregnancy at all yet so thought why not I only have 4 1/2 weeks left at work!!

I must admit ladies I cant figure out which way LO is laid at the moment either!! I found it a lot easier with my first as I never had a lot of water and all I could feel was baby but this time round I dont have a clue!!
I do know that he prefers laying on my right side, he's never on the left!! obviously just more snuggly there!!

Oh well hope everyone is okay!!

 

[godivalocks]

Glad you're feeling better, Gem.

I couldn't tell which way the kid was, either. I had to ask the lady at the scan just to be sure.

Hi girls,

glad your feeling better Gem, only getting to read this today,

glad all well at scan godiva,

Im going back to work tomorrow and going to leave in 2 weeks instead of 3,
totally exhausted xx

Hey ladies,

How is everyone? Nice and busy on here as usual. Took me aaaaaaages ot read through nearly 4 bloody pages!

Gem - hope you feel better hun. She prob messed with the edge of your cervix or something? Stupid and insensitive to ask about bleeding though....
Glad you're milking it a bit today

Thans for all the tips for bedding girls. SJK you are a bargain hunter!!!! I looked on ebay, but couldnt find anything..

I had my consultant app last night. nearly 3 hrs wait. Its crazy. I am shattered bein at work all day and then doing all the mommy things and housework and then going to bloody hospitals etc.

By the time I had my app, the bloods lady had gone home (as had everyone else) I got told off today by the receptionist when i called up to re-arrange my appointment, she said they wouldnt have gone home before clinic finshed but they did!!!

The consultant said she wants me to have a growth scan in 2 weeks and another a couple of wks after that. William was so big and cause major issues in labour which has scared me half to death. She doesnt think this one is big, but wants to be safe. If it is, I can have a c-section... dilemma......

Anyway girls. I know baby girl is head down and I am pretty sure she's back to back (william was) I keep having major BH too. Loads and loads today. I only have to walk to the loo and my tummy has gone tight. I have been on the loo all day again too. My body doesnt seem to like keeping food inside for some reason. Anyone else the same??

Right, I need to actually sit down for a bit now. (Sarah, I never seem to stop!!)

Big hugs everyone xxxx

 

[shelleylu]

OMFG - just spotted my siggy - nearly 31 weeks everyone !!!!!!

Theoretically, I could be a mommy again in 6 weeks!!!!!

ARGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[SJK]

morning girls

hope all is well

typical shelley that nothing is ever straight forward, and where is the time going, 6 weeks

hope all else is well x

Hello there Ladies!

Had my MW yesterday and what a disaster that was. She forgot to take my BP right until the end...she took my blood and halfway through stopped and asked me if I minded being tested for HIV again as its optional at this stage blahblah...whilst the needle was in my arm and blood was dripping down my arm! I just said well we might as well put the blood thats currently dripping down me to good use.

Then when she took the needle out she yanked and blood spurted in my face, on my jeans and on the bed!

She measured me three times and then determined I'm measuring 3 weeks under, bombarded me with tonnes of information and then booked me in with a consultant whilst she had a 20 minute talk with a friend on switchboard at the hospital!

I'm not too sure how accurate her measurements were to be honest as she kept asking is that your bone...and then Caitlyn was burrowed in yesterday but the stuff she was saying just made me panic

Liam cant come with me to the consultant appointment and he was annoyed with the MW so he's booked a private scan for Friday at 5:15 to see how she's ACTUALLY measuring...will be lovelylovely to see her again but till friday even though, I'm trying not too, I'll just worry

She also said she thinks my dates are wrong again and I'm due earlier than what I've been told...as my family has a history of small babies...urgh. Confusion! I'm just gonna discuss it all with the consultant on tuesday and see what he says.

Rant over

Shelley I have the same at the moment, its not fun! And it is all getting very close isnt it!!

 

[maybethistime]

hey ppl, sorry 2 here about all this going with u twig, hope the mw is wrong and all is well,

I had some good news today, I really wanted a silver cross 3d pram but i knew it was 2 expensive so there would be no point spending that much on one (money we aint got really) well me friends just said she has one 2 sell 100 pound not used the rain cover or the bag! so happy just have 2 run it buy hubby and see what he says. the in laws where gonna get our pram but we kinda had a bit of a fall out with them over the weekend so Id rather get it my self yay

 

[godivalocks]

Twig, that woman just sounds incompetent in all regards. Getting the private scan was a good idea.

 

[Twiglet]

Thanks Godiva and MB that's what my OH said too! Glad we've got this scan on friday so we can know for sure =]

Yay on the pram I love it when things work out hehe.

 

[maybethistime]

and he just texted me and said yes me friend lives in herts but she is gonna bring it up for me as well bout a 3 hour drive, got I love her!!

 

[SJK]

Twiglet, what a nitemare, Im sure she'll be wrong, was it her
first day !!!

glad you've got the scan on Friday, try not to worry xx

great news about the pram mb x

 

[shelleylu]

oooo Great news about the pram !!! I am so in love with my mutsy its scary! I cant wait to get it all out and play with it!!!

Twig, poor love. Dont worry - these MWs cause more hastle then they are worth a lot of the time. Your bundle will be fine. Good news about the scan too. Im looking forward to seeing baby girl again!

I do hope my mood improves in the mean time. We are under pressure a bit in the house cause of money worries and work etc etc and me and OH havent been getting on great, but the last few days have been dreadful. I know I have a right to moan about some of the things (I wont bore you) but I cant seem to get over them like I have done so easily before. Maybe because baby is close everything is more serious - mney etc.. I dont know. All I know is this rescession has a lot to answer for.

Hope everyone is doing well today. Think the so called hayfever is a cold, Been sneezing like a trooper all day. So to top off my mood I have great big black circles too!!

I think I just feel sorry for myself a bit too much!!!

Hey shelly

I know wat u are going through me and me DH was going through it a few months back, he got booted out of uni for not doing the work then we got told we have to pay back teh grant and lone he got cos he was not there any more, we were only just getting through the month and argement where happenin everyday cos he would get paid from his part time job and he would not be able to tell me where the money was going or he would spend it on shit we dont need !! we were in arrers with rent and bills coming out our ears. he managed to get a job and etc and everything is working its self out, This happened out of know way.

What im trying to say try not to worrie (even tho i did everyday) things WILL sort them selves out might not seem like it now but just hang in there. xxx

 

[Twiglet]

thanks everyone

This is the laughable thing...this woman was my mums MW when she had me!!! So she has at least 22 years experience

I'm just looking forward to seeing Caitlyn again now

Hmm, I read in a pregnancy mag earlier that we get tetchy about money the closer we get! I've always been tetchy though. Hope it all gets sorted Shelley

 

[Sarah+]

I was just about to ask if she was really inexpeiened....apparently not! I wouldn't be worry about the measurements - I've never had mine taken that way yet and from what I read +/- 3cm is within the normal range. I can't believe what happened with the blood though. I'd be temped to write a little letter to your local service and suggest she gets some 'training'..... Enjoy your scan

Weirdest thing happened on Tuesday night. All the way through our first pre-natal class, the bub kicked and wiggled. When I went to bed I started having huge movements, like he was trying to get out early! Head and butt (I think) sticking out and moving around in all sorts of positions. They actually hurt quite a bit and I felt really sick. It went on for about three hours and I'm convinced he turned or something. My bump was smaller the next day too.

Anyone else getting really short of breath? Has me worried what it will be like in another few weeks.

Can't believe how little time we've got left!

 

[SJK]

morning girls

how are we all today?

shelley , mb is right, everything will work out in the end, do not stress

Yes sarah, Im so out of breath, I cant hardly get up the stairs , and I cant believe it either, where is the time going xx

 

[whitelilly]

Morning! Just caught up- Shelley, everything will be ok, I am sure. Don't worry

Sarah- I am out of breath but I don't know if it's bambino or whether I am just unfit! Heehee! My hayfever is so bad and it's making me miserable.

Bamibon has also been moving loads recently so he must have gotten bigger- some of the moves have been crazy and I have had quite a few sore jabs!

Got my first antenatal class this afternoon.... better than an afternoon at work me thinks! xxx

 

[maybethistime]

[geogem]

Hi ladies. I know what you mean Shelley about the arguements and not being able to get over stuff as easy - me and hubby argued last week and I just couldnt let it go!!

I think he is definately becoming more understanding tho!! he keeps hugging me and saying "come on sweetheart lets not argue". before he would be the first one to bite back and give me as good as he got!!

But a couple of weeks ago we went through a really bad patch - got really rough!!
dont worry hun you will come out the other side of it - we alkl gop though it.

I have been suffering with mega BH this week again!! belly is constantly tense!! also had a bit of a clearout too. feeling okay energy wise, just getting more uncomforatable now!!
